2001년 12월과 2002년 1월에 걸쳐 조간대 환경에 위치하는 어느 해양사격장 중위에서 일정한 간격으로 표층(<5 cm) 해양퇴적물(총22개소)과 해양생물체(굴; 총10개소)를 샘플링하고, Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn를 위시한 중금속원소의 공간적 농도 분포와 생흡수도(bioavailability)를 분석 고찰하였다. 본 논문에서는 예비 연구 결과를 간단히 소개한다. 해양퇴적물에 대한 전함량 분석, 0.1N HCl에 의한 부분 분석 및 BCR법에 의한 연속추출 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn을 위시한 중금속은 대체적으로 점오염원인 사격장으로 갈수록 전함량 및 부분함량이 높아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 사격장 주변에서 가장 중요한 오염물질로 알려져 있는 Pb는 오염원 주변에서만 높은 함량을 보여주어, 해양 환경 하에서 이동도( 및 생흡수도)가 비교적 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반면, Cu, Cd, Zn의 경우에는 보다 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 퇴적물 내의 부화(enrichment)가 인지되어 연구지역의 갯벌 환경에 의미있는 정도로 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 곳의 생물체(굴) 역시 Pb에 대해서는 낮은 흡수도(-값의 생농축계수)를 나타낸 반면, Cu, Cd, Zn에 대해서는 의미있는 생흡수도를 나타내었다. BCR 연속추출법에 의한 퇴적물 중금속의 존재형태 해석 결과를 보면, fraction 1(F1; exchangeable+acidic phase) 및 fraction 2(F2; reducible phase)의 기여도가 지배적이고, 또한 오염원으로 갈수록 그 기여도는 점차 증가됨을 나타내었다. 특이하게도 유기물과의 친화력이 높은 것으로 알려진 Cu 역시 F1과 F2에 대하여 높은 함량을 나타내어 오염원으로부터의 Cu의 확산을 지시하였다. 외국에 비하여, 그동안 국내에서는 사격장 주변의 자연환경변화에 관하여 연구된 결과가 거의 전무하였다. 본 연구 결과는, 이와 유사한 사격장 주변 환경에서의 중금속 분포와 거동 특성에 대하여 종합적인 모니터링(즉, 체계적인 환경지구화학적 조사ㆍ연구)이 시급함을 시사해 주고 있다.

This study analyzes the purchase subsidy for electric light-duty vehicles in terms of environmental benefits and total cost of ownership(TCO). For the environmental benefits, we considered the emissions from the power generation mix and reflected the change in efficiency of electric vehicles according to the temperature distribution. The environmental benefits of driving electric vehicles were estimated to be between KRW 2.2 million and KRW 5.3 million. Also, the TCO of electric vehicles compared to diesel vehicles under the current purchase subsidy was estimated to be about KRW 3.6 million lower for business use and about KRW 6.6 million lower for non-business use. These results imply that it is reasonable to lower the unit price of the purchase subsidy even within the same budget. Moreover, the remaining budget could be better spent on upgrading the charging infrastructure, which would reduce the inconvenience of charging for potential buyers.

The assessment of environmental impact on NO$_2$ (or TSP) emitted by vehicles is important for local residents from the point of view of their health and environmental protection. In the course of field investigations, correct concentrations are measured and meteorological data are observed for numerical simulation. To determine background concentration for numerical simulation, annual average concentrations of NO$_2$ (or TSP) are estimated using the Puff-Plume model. If the estimated result affects the environment, it must be considered in the environmental conservation activity. To make the process of a estimation of environmental assessment more easily, this system is developed. Moreover, this system was supplied a Graphic User Interface (GH) for the user who calculated the concentration of air pollution exhausted from the traffic on general roads except special roads such as interchanges and entrances to tunnels. This system can offer not only the numerical result but also a graphic display. Even a beginner who is not a professional programmer can calculate the result easily.

Types of agricultural policy can be catagorized into two general cases: price and income supports. Income supports are any government program designed to provide farmers with higher incomes than they would receive otherwise. These direct cash payments to farmers are known as "deficiency payment" or "direct payment" because they compensate the farmer for the failure of the market to provide farmers with adequate prices. The direct payment to environment-friendly agriculture is a form of income supports for the agriculture production using less pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Because no significant regulation exists on the use of fertilizers substituting chemical fertilizers for crop, the role of the payment on reducing environmental impacts of agriculture is not entirely clear. This uncertainty is likely to be particularly severe in the case that farmers with low-quality land showing greater demand for fertiliser have an incentive to transition to environment-friendly agriculture. The paper shows the case of the current payment system in Korea.

A public perception survey of environmental health due to small-scale industries was conducted in Sudong Myun, Namyangju City, Kyungki Do, recently being changed to industrialized rural community. This survey had the purpose to ascertain public interest, to identify public needs, and to assess participation for environmental health programs of rural community. The results of survey were as follows: 1. The rate of the respondents with factory worker 19.4% and half(53.1%) of respondents had lived nearby the factory. 2. Some respondents were not favor their neighboring factories(30.1%) and have discussed about its environmental problems in community meeting(14.4%) especially in neighborhood adjacent factories. 3. The respondents have perceived that: (1) major problems were water contamination, air pollution, nasty odor, dust, and noise (2) health problems were more serious in employees than in other residents (3) the employers were responsible for environmental problems (4) the health service should provided by public health center channel and participated by the residents (5) most important service for workers was improvement of working conditions. We hope the community environmental and/or occupational health delivery system for the employees and residents will be developed true public health center channel in a rural community on the basis of this result.

The purpose of this study was to develop and implement a wetland education program using ecotourism and investigate its effect on middle school students' environmental literacy. The wetland education program was developed by analyzing the 2015 revised curriculum and integrating content from science, social studies, ethics, technology, and home economics. The subjects of this study were 49 second-grade middle school students in Jeju City. The analysis revealed that the wetland education program using ecotourism improved environmental literacy in both the cognitive and psychomotor domains. In particular, the students' awareness of the 'causes of climate change' and 'responses to climate change' appeared to have increased. Although environmental literacy in the affective domain did not improve, there were positive effects in specific areas, such as attitudes toward pollution and proactive behavior. Based on the results of this study, follow-up research should further explore using ecotourism as an effective method to enhance wetland education.

This study analyzed the consciousness and attitudes of local residents to the development plan of Sobaeksan Jarackgil by applying the social exchange theory to provide basic data for the establishment of the Mountainous Ecology Trail Development Plan, collecting opinions of local residents. For this, we conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey and personal interview targeting 150 residents of seven villages. Summarizing the results, first, because of analyzing the consciousness of the residents, most of the local residents turned out to be aware of the Sobaeksan Jarackgil development plan and agreed on it. Second, as a result of analyzing the consciousness of residents, for attitudes according to gender, females expected more than males of exchanging with visitors and excavation of cultural assets. Furthermore for attitudes according to age, groups aged under 60 turned out to be concerned about the increase of environmental pollutions, rise in crimes, destruction of cultures, and the induction of conflicts among residents. For attitudes according to occupations, farm workers were worried about the destruction of ecology, and for local characteristics and damages to the landscape, all of the local residents turned out to be concerned. It was shown that groups that agreed on the development plan expected positively on most of the items of economic, environmental, and sociocultural aspects, while those that disagreed on the plan were anxious for negative effects such as landscape damages and the increase of environmental pollutions from the environmental point of view, and the induction of conflicts among residents from the point of sociocultural perspective.

The metals such as Al, Ag, Au, Cu, Cd, Co, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn, etc are present at very low concentration in seawater and are classified as so-called trace metals. Whiles some of them are used in metabolism of living organism as a micronutrient, they may show toxic effects on organisms in case of a limited threshold concentration of them Plenty of studies on trace metals have been performed bemuse trace metals have a persistent influence and an adverse effect on marine environment and ecosystem. For long years, when the concentration of trace metals in natural waters such as seawater and fresh water are measured with high precision and accuracy, some systematic errors have been recognized to be present in measurements. Since 1975 in US and European countries, the measured concentration of trace metals in seawater have been found to be lower by factors of 10-1,000 than the previous data of trace metals measurements and the vertical profiles of the measurements have been shown to reflect well-known biological, physical and geochemical processes. These results are attributed to great advances in analytical instrumentation and methodology for trace metals measurements. Precautions against the contamination of samples are required to be taken in the process of sampling, storage, and analysis of samples. However, in Korea, erroneous data of trace metals with regard to ocean and marine environment related survey and investigations are reported The lock of exact understanding and information regarding precautions in sampling, storage and analysis of samples lead to the deterioration of data quality, especially in the analysis of trace metals. The major procedures to obtain the accurate data of trace metals in natural waters are introduced for applying to the study and assessment of marine environments.

자연재해연구는 인간.자연환경 관계를 연구하는 학문이다. 금세기초 환경결정론, 환경가능주의, 그리고 인지에 의한 행동과학주의로 연구 Paradigm이 변화.발전되어 오며서 지리학에서도 이러한 이론적 방법론의 바탕위에 인간-자연환경 관계를 설명하려고 노력했다. 1920년대 초 Barrow가 인간생태학 개념을 발표, 1950, 1960년대 이에 영향받은 White, Kate와 Burton 같은 미국의 자연재해지리학자들은 미국에서 홍수재해문제를 인간적응, 특히 "인식"의 역할에 중점을 두어 재해지역에서 자원이용과 이의 관리문제를 연구하였다. 1970년대 들어오면서 재해의 양상, 적응방법등이 연구되고, 또한 적응의 여러 비교연구가 있었으며, 사회성과 관련 사회학적 연구 접근과 다양한 레벨의 케이스 Study 또한 이루어졌다. 오늘날의 자연재해연구는 일반재해연구로 발전하여 핵반응, 각종산업.교통재해, 화학물질 및 환경오염문제, 각종 소음공해, 폭발물 사고 등 참으로 여러 종류의 사회문제가 재해연구의 대상이 되었고, 근래에는 약물중독, 성폭행, 그리고 복잡한 현대사회에서 제기되는 정신질환까지 일종의 재해문제로 다루어 지리학내에서 연구되고 있다. 이와같이 연구의 많은 변환.발전과 함께 처음 Academic한 연구로 시작된 재해문제 연구가 이에 관심을 같는 여러분야 즉, 경제.사회, 심리학자, 토지이용개발자, 보험, 은행, 부동산업자 재해와 관련있는 민간단체, 정부기관, 정책실행기관등이 참여하는 공동연구가 활발히 행하여지고 있다. 최근에는 "세계 자연재해 감소 10개년 계획"이라는 Program을 미국이 주동이 되어 국제적인 기구로 만들어 관심있는 여러국가의 과학자, 재해연구가, Engineer, 정부관계자들이 참여 서로 정보와 지식의 교환, 세계의 개발.재개발에 대한 계획, 재해감소의 교육훈련등 다채로운 Project을 가지고 세계 자연재해 감소를 위하여 공동연구의 노력을 하려는 움직임이다. 세계의 권위있는 재해통계에 의하면 한국이 매년 자연재해로 인하여 100만명당 1,000명이 희생되는 나라로 방글라대시, 이란, 중남미와 페루, 과태말라, 동남아시아의 뉴기니와 나란히 중진개발도상국으로 몇안되는 나라의 하나로 들어있는 것을 볼 때 유감이 아닐수 없다. 우리나라는 하루빨리 이러한 자연재해로부터 아까운 생명과 재산을 잃어버리고 있는 고통과 문제를 해결하려는 민간.정부차원에서 관심을 기울이고 우선 기본적인 연구의 기틀을 마련하는 제도적 장치와 분위기가 아쉽다고 않을 수 없다.와 분위기가 아쉽다고 않을 수 없다.

This study was conducted to examine the environmental status, FIM(Function Independence Measure), Illness intrusiveness of home stayed stroke patients. Data were collected on 145 patients living in K city and the neighborhood located in southern part of Korea. The data were analyzed by means of SPSS program. Results : In assessment of environmental safety, 46.2%(67) felt unsafe around their residential area. The most dangerous facilities in their residence was stairs(58.2%), gas/electric facilities(14.9%). For sanitary problems, 28.2%(41) felt they have problems at their home. The most important problems were outdoor polluted toilet(22.0%) and scattered and dirty residential circumstances(22.0%). The average FIM score was 74.52(4.14) of total score 126(7). In motor area FIM was lowest at stair walking(3.01) and bathing(3.16). In cognitive area FIM was lowest at social activities(3.36). The mean score of Illness intrusiveness was 58.86(4.52) of total score 91(7). The major area largely impacted by stroke were health(5.61), working(5.68), active leisure activities(5.56). There was significant reverse correlation between FIM and illness intrusiveness(r=-0.66, p=0.00). Conclusion : It was needed environmental improvement and rehabilitation program for stroke patients, and repeated follow up study.
