This study tests four hypotheses on management performance of environment-friendly firms. The hypotheses are that i) environment-friendly firms are lower management performance than general firms, ii) high cost environment-friendly firms are lower management performance than lower cost ones, small and medium environment-friendly firms lower management performance than large ones, and long-term environment-friendly firms higher management performance than short-term ones. The major findings are that the first hypothesis is not supported at the 5% significance level and the second one is also not supported at the 10% significance level. The third one is supported in terms of stability since large firms are more stable small and medium ones at the 5% significance level. The last one is not supported since short-term environment-friendly firms are more stable than long-term ones in the 10% significance level.

Environment-friendly design becomes one of the main issues of the contemporary design. It has been developed with the advent of the organic view of the wend. It started as the environment-protective orientation and then enlarged its boundary including the designs which aims to revive the organic relationship between human and nature. Recent design approach in environment design emphasizes to be 'synchronized with the nature' and its basic attitude is the revival of the right relationship between man and nature. It also can be described as the design for Green Amenity. This paper researches on the concepts, types and the roles of the environmentally-friendly design. There are two basic concepts : one is environment-protective attitude and the other is the attitude which emphasizes the function of Green Amenity. This paper focuses on the latter approach. Through the analysis of the necessity and the function of the environmentally-friendly design, it aims to prove the fact that valuable human life need the design which connects human life aye with natural environment.

As the Concept "how environmental friendly" becomes more and more important in road construction. However, so far there is no estimation method. Environmental friendly concept can be incorporated at the plan level in order to influence decision making, and support policies that affect environment. The overall goal of this study was to develop environmental friendly concept measures for the national highway and to develop a methodology to implement a more environmental friendly concept. The research identified 8 performance measures through a project analysis that could address environmental impact assessment system's ten strategic goals - Topography, Wildlife, hydrology, landuse, air quality, water quality, soil, waste, noise, landscape. The qualitatively and quantitatively evaluation approach was selected as the decision support framework and performance measure were investigated using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and pilot corridor for a 10 section and calculate the index values. The methodology was applied to a pilot corridor comprised of a 120km section of national highway in korea. The methodology made it possible to identify the specific performance measures that need improvement to enhance the overall environmental friendly concept. It is fairly intuitive, based on readily available data, and is easy to apply. It provides a powerful tool for government to assess the relative environmental friendly conceptof their transportation corridors now and in the future. It allows for comparisons within a corridor and with other corridors and identifies the improvements needed to enhance the environmental friendly concept.

최근 환경오염과 생태학적 환경문제가 사회적 중요한 관심사로 인식되고 있다. 포장디자인에 있어서도 재활용과 재사용에 대한 요구와 함께 스티로폼이나 플라스틱을 대체하는 친환경 포장용기와 생분해성 필름 등의 포장재의 개발과 생산이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이러한 사회적 배경에서 본 연구에서는 환경친화적 포장디자인의 개발을 위한 가이드라인 설정을 목적으로 하고 있다. 연구내용은 환경친화적 디자인의 개념과 에코 포장디자인 적용범주, 국내외 에코패키지의 동향 및 포장재 현황을 살펴보고, 각종 정책과 규정 및 관련지침 등의 이론적 자료들을 근거로 일반적으로 고려되고 있는 에코패키지의 기본 방향과 체크리스트를 분석하였으며 이에 따른 가이드 라인 및 수행 절차를 고찰하였다. 에코 패키지의 기본방향은 첫째, 포장디자인의 제작, 사용, 폐기에 이르는 전과정에서 환경측면을 고려해야 하며 둘째, 비용과 품질, 시장성, 디자인 등 다중요소를 고려해야 한다. 셋째, 디자인 부서와 제품설계부서, 생산부서, 환경팀 등 조직 내의 다른 시스템과 기능적으로 협력하여야 하며 넷째, 기업의 다른 여러 가지 환경 활동을 통해 잠재적인 소비자와 시장을 확대할 수 있다는 것이다. 가이드라인의 내용은 자원 절감과 물질 사용량 절감, 재활용성 확대, 에너지 효율 향상, 유해 물질 저감과 안전성 확보, 폐기 효율성을 중심으로 하고 있다. 환경 친화적 포장디자인의 실천을 통해 환경영향성을 개선하고 비용을 감소시키며 소비자의 이미지 개선에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of knowledge and perception of environmental problems on pro-environmental behavior of youth. The data used for this study were collected using questionnaire. The sample for this study consisted of 654 junior and high school students living in Seoul and Gyeong-gi Province. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The following is a summary of the major findings. (1) The significant variables affecting pro-environmental behavior of youth were need of environmental education, source of environmental knowledge, level of perception on air pollution and scarcity of resources and energy, sex and total amount of allowance of students. These variables explained 20.5% of variance of pro-environmental behavior. (2) Environmental education related variables were the best predictor of pro-environmental behavior; knowledge of environmental problem variables had limited predictive power. (3) Recommendations for teaching-learning strategies have been suggested to enhance youth's pro-environmental behavior in school.

Since the Child Friendly Cities Initiative(CFCI), a UNICEF-led initiative, was first introduced to Seongbuk-gu in 2013, more than half of the districts of Seoul are making efforts to achieve the accreditation of the Child Friendly City(CFC). At this point, when an initiative is transformed from a special policy of a few districts into a general policy of many local governments, we need to examine and check on how friendly urban parks are to children. This study focused on neighborhood parks that tend to be less friendly to children as compared to children's parks and looked into the current status, because neighborhood parks are also well used by users of all ages including children. The evaluation criteria was developed based on the review of domestic and international guidelines of child friendly parks and neighborhood parks. Futhermore, field studies, user questionnaire, and a participatory design workshop were introduced to analyze the status of child-friendly environment of neighborhood parks. Findings are as follows. First, vague definitions of child cause the inconsistency of child-related policies. Second, Neighborhood parks are not conceived as a public space for children. Third, the consideration of youth is relatively low. Fourth, adjacent area of a park turns out not to be child friendly as well.
