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.

This study aims to analyse the current conditions of transport demand and its environmental problems in Gwangyang Port(GP), and to suggest crucial directions for Gwangyang Green Port(GGP) in Korea. This study consists of three main sections: concept of green growth and green port; the analysis of transport demand and environment situations in GP; policy directions for GGP. This study is mainly conducted by a literature review of related papers, an analysis of secondary data & papers, and interviews with port experts. This study presents important policy directions for successfully managing GGP in Korea as follows: modal shifts plan for green transport and logistics system in GP; energy-saving techniques in GP's berth operation; the application of environmentally friendly port operation methods in GP; construction of GP waterfront facilities; environmentally friendly disposal of maritime waste matters; establishment and implementation of port environment master plan. This study will make a big contribution to the building of green port policy and the providing of professional informations to government officials.

The purpose of this study was to investigate pro-environmental consumer behavior according to adolescent´s environmental education experience and peer group´s pro-environmental consumer behavior. The subjects of study were general high school students in Daegu, and the method was by the analysis of 610 questionnaires obtained from them. The main findings of this study were as follows : First, there was no meaningful difference in adolescent´s pro-environmental consumer behavior according to the degree of environment-related education experience in school, and were meaningful differences in adolescent´s pro-environmental disposal behavior according to the degree of participating-experience in environment-related events in school. Second, there were meaningful differences in adolescent´s pro-environmental purchase, use and disposal behavior according to the degree of environmental education experience at home. Third, there were meaningful differences in adolescent´s pro-environmental purchase and disposal behavior according to the degree of environmental education experience in society. Fourth, there were meaningful differences in adolescent´s pro-environmental consumer behavior according to peer group´s pro-environmental consumer behavior.

A green market for a product refers to the market where the more willingness to pay for the product consumers have, the greener is the product. As the green markets begin to spread out, researches have been carried out mostly on the effects of various environmental policy measures such as unit emission standard, environmental taxes as they are applied in the green markets. This paper focus on a different issue in the green markets, that is, the effects of the greener market on pollution emission. We consider two kinds of markets, which are fully or partially covered. In the fully covered market where the products sold are necessities such that all consumers purchase the product, as the market gets greener, the amount of pollution emission decreases. On the other hand, in the partiaily covered market, it is shown that the amount of pollution emission could increase as the market becomes greener. This critically depends on whether the total output decreases or increases as the market turns greener.

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.

섬유 제조에서부터 제품의 소비에 걸친 각 공정에 이르기까지 환경 부하 절감 대책과 섬유 제조 기술에 따른 문제 해결을 위하여 환경 친화적 섬유인 대나무 섬유, 콩 섬유, 재생 섬유, 생분해 되는 섬유 등 다양한 환경 친화적 신소재에 대한 특성을 고찰하고자한다. 환경 친화적 신소재와 섬유 폐기 공정에서의 환경친화적 신소재인 생분해 플라스틱 및 생분해 섬유의 개념을 정의하였다. 환경친화 제품 개발이 여러 가지 면에서 생산자의 부담요인으로 작용할 수 도 있으나, 중장기적으로 볼 때 환경 개선에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 기술 확보 및 시장 개척에 용이할 것이며 소비자들은 환경적, 건강적 이유로 환경친화적 제품에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 따라서 제품의 제품개발자들은 공정단계에서 폐기단계에 이르기까지 비용을 감수하더라도 환경 친화적 제품개발에 노력해야 할 것이다.
