Wetlands provide vital habitats for fish and wildlife while offering numerous other benefits. As in some other countries, however, Taiwan has witnessed the loss of a significant portion of its coastal wetlands due to large-scale reclamation projects along the coast. Most of the wetlands that still remain are seriously being threatened by both human activities and natural changes, such as drainage for agricultural production, filling for industrial development, discharge of wastes and drought. The administrative performance of the existing authorities and legislation in Taiwan has mostly been ineffective in protecting these precious, sensitive areas. This paper introduces the distribution of wetlands in Taiwan and highlights their invaluable functions and potential economic value. It also discussed the recent activities, both initiated by the government and the NGOs, to protect wetlands in Taiwan. Based on the above discussion, the paper identifies the wide-range of current problems related to their management and proposes the vision should have to save wetlands for the future. It argues that establishing clear policies and effective institutional mechanisms on wetland protection and conservation, classifying the wetlands for better management, and fully promoting public awareness and consciousness of the importance of the wetlands will not only be beneficial but will also address the urgent need to safeguard the wetlands in Taiwan. Additionally, the paper recognizes that international cooperation and collaboration on wetland restoration is essential and most challenging.

The objective of this paper is to formulate strategies and action programs for developing sustainable agriculture in Korea. There is increasing evidence that agriculture has been preoccupied with increasing productivity much to the detriment of environmental degradation. The issue of increasing agricultural productivity so as not to undermine the environment is a difficult task. In reality, there are many definitions of sustainable agriculture and sustainable agricultural development. In this paper, sustainable agriculture is defined by its ability to ensure future supplies of agricultural products at acceptable economic and environmental costs to the society. Sustainable agriculture development refers to the optimal level of interaction among the three dimensions - the environmental, the economic and the social - through dynamic and adaptive processes of trade-off. In order to formulate the strategies for developing sustainable agriculture, three stage approaches such as strategic analysis, strategic choice, and strategic implementation are employed. The basic framework for strategies of sustainable agriculture development consists of five steps such as vision, targets, principles, action plan and policy instruments. The major action plans for activating formulated strategies are suggested as integrating agricultural and environmental policy measures, establishing the system of optimal agri-environmental resources management practices, establishing safe and high quality product system and its effective marketing system, increasing the R&D investment for developing sustainable agro-technology, developing indicators for measuring sustainable agricultural development, and taking a share in related roles for all parties including farmers, consumers, policy makers, researchers and NGOs.

This report is the summary of case studies about four quarry rehabilitation and restoration works in France and Austria. In Europe, the rehabilitation program should be prepared before quarrying, and this program should be meet with the expectations of stakeholders (owners, neighbors and NGOs), and the requirements of ecological restoration and environmental protection of the government. This program integrates the concept of sustainable development as well as the often exceptional potential for enhancing ecological diversity offered by quarries. Subsequently, the long-term rehabilitation effort is coordinated as closely as possible with quarrying operations, and finally the site is shut down, all measures are taken to ensure the long-term future of the rehabilitated site. The coordinated restoration project applicable to sections where quarrying operations are still in progress confines the working area to keep the visual impact of the quarry to a minimum. The re-established sites offer such great ecological diversity that they were classified as special plant and wildlife ecological zones. Wide range of rehabilitation alternatives offer opportunities to combine environmental preservation goals with social benefits. The actions include agriculture/forestry, recreational/educational developments and other uses.

환경 친화적 개발은 개발도상국에서 가난을 근절시키기 위해 피할 수 없는 것이다. 전 세계적인 운동으로 환경 친화적 개발을 하게 하기 위해서는, 우리는 환경 친화적 개발을 위한 교육을 제공해야만 한다. 하지만 환경친화적 개발 교육을 수행하려면 많은 문제가 있다. 인간 교육을 하기위해서는 확실한 철학이 있어야한다. 지구헌장은 환경친화적 개발에 대한 세계정상회담을 통해 국제적, 비정부 조직을 포함하여 국제적인 공감대를 얻어냈으며 다양한 국가의 사람들로 개발되었다. 지구헌장에 근거하여 세계 평화와 전 인류의 인권과 환경을 위한 교육이 수행되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 첫째, 지속가능성의 상실을 논하였다, 둘째로 인간 개발관점의 손실은 교육에 관한 기초로 하고 있다. 셋째로 문맹의 쇠퇴이며, 넷째는 여성을 위한 교육의 감소, 다섯 번째는 지나친 지식에 대한 강조와 암기이며, 여섯 번째는 삶의 질이 교육으로 부터의 일탈에 관한 것이다.

본 연구는 참여동기를 유형화한 연구들 중 경제학적인 틀로 참여동기를 유형화한 Olsen의 연구,개인수준에서 사회운동 참여에 영향을 미치는 변수를 고찰한 Klenderman의 연구, 사회발전을 위한 주민 자신의 능동적 역할의 측면에서 본 주민 참여동기를 고찰하여 국내연구에서 가장 널리 구분하는 이기적 참여동기와 이타적 참여동기로 구분하여 고찰하였다. 첫째, 이기적 참여동기는 비용 편익 판단기준을 일반적으로 직업 혹은 경력과 관련시키는 경우가 많다. 이기적 참여동기를 가지고 있는 사람의 보상체계는 단기간에 획득할 수 있는 직접적인 이득이나 다른 사람을 돕는 일이 대부분인 봉사활동인 경우조차도 이기적인 동기가 녹아져 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 젊은층의 사람들은 직장을 구하는데 도움이 될 수 있는 기술을 배우기 위하여 봉사활동에 참여하기도 한다. 이러한 활동참여의 경험이 미래에 직업을 구하거나, 인간관계를 형성한다거나, 좋은 직장을 구하는데 좋은 계기나 기회로 활용되기도 하기 때문인다. 이러한 이기적 동기를 가진 참여자들은 개인의 성장과 직업발전에 큰 관심을 갖고 있으며, 이러한 도구적인 요인이 남을 돕는 요인보다 더 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되기도 한다. 둘째, 이타적 참여동기는 타인의 복지의 향상을 위해 노력하는 것이다. 이타적 참여동기를 갖고 있는 사람들은 개인의 성과나 개인적인 관심보다는 사회적으로 더 큰 가치가 있는 목적을 추구하는 경향이 있다. 하지만, 이타주의적인 동기를 갖고 있는 사람들이 모두 자신의 희생을 바탕으로 활동을 하거나 자신의 이익에 반하는 행동을 하는 것은 아니다. 즉, 개인의 편익과는 무관하게 도움이 필요한 타인을 돕고 그들의 복지를 증진시키기 위하여 노력하는 것이 이타주의적 참여동기의 큰 특징이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 이타주의적 참여동기를 갖고 있는 사람들은 자신들의 공헌이 타인의 복지를 향상시킬 가능성이나 개연성만 있더라도 활동에 참여하게 된다. 최근에 동기에 관한 조사들에서 이타적 동기보다는 이기적 동기가 높게 나타나고 있는데(조휘일, 1990; 홍승혜, 1995; 권지성, 1999; 김소영, 2000; 이종혜, 2001; 이근주, 2002; 고운미, 2004), 이는 참여활동가들에게 이타적 동기뿐만 아니라 이기적 동기 또한 중요성이 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

This study aims to address the current status of ESD(Education for Sustainable Development) in Korean universities since UN DESD was launched in 2005, and to explore the possibilities and challenges in them. For this purpose we conducted questionnaire surveys and case studies on members of university communities which were engaged in green campus activities or interested in SD and ESD. Results of questionnaire surveys showed that most of those who answered the questionnaire were well aware of SD, but had comparatively low understanding of ESD. The highest number of respondents answered that since 2005 they had newly opened courses on SD or ESD, or added contents on SD or ESD to existing ones. Ratio of network participation among ESD-related universities was over 30%, and they appeared to have the highest partnership ratio with NGOs. Not many universities had policies for sustainable school management, and 'green space conservation and ecosystem protection' and 'energy and resource saving campaign and monitoring' were most common sustainable environment protection activities. Through case studies on eight universities, it was discovered that ESD programs in universities took various forms such as whole-university approaches, participatory courses and club activities. We suggest that it is needed to make efforts to find out good examples of ESD in Korean universities and share the results with university leaders, professors and staffs for further development of ESD.

Some arguments have been about over the representativeness of government-run air quality monitoring stations among scholars and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, it is not a simple problem to move monitoring stations because of continuity of data and high cost. So it is necessary to complement the monitoring data if it do not represent the ambient air quality properly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the representativeness of some monitoring stations using passive $NO_2$ samplers and to find a complementary method from linear regression. Two stations were chosen for the evaluation: Shinlim Station was one of the most controversial stations in Seoul and Banpo Station had the best reputation. Air qualities were surveyed at seven points around each monitoring station with consideration of land use and distance. The ratios of the average $NO_2$ levels of the areas to these at the monitoring stations were 1.59 for Shinlim Station and 1.03 for Banpo Station. The differences between the average $NO_2$ levels and those at the monitoring stations were 10.75 ppb for Shilim Station and 0.34 ppb for Banpo Station. The correlation coefficients between the two levels were 0.7668 for Shinlim and 0.7662 for Banpo. The average coefficients of determination $(R^2)$ were 0.61 for Shinlim and 0.61 for Banpo. The Shinlim Station could not represent the air quality of Shinlim-Dong good because it is located in a green area at an outskirt of Shinlim-Dong. But the Banpo Station located in a central residential area of Banpo-Dong showed a fair representativeness. However, air quality turned out to be different with land use such as residential area, green area or road: the air quality data from a monitoring station located at a certain land use should not be interpreted as representing the air quality at any sites around the station. Equations to predict the average $NO_2$ levels of each area from the data from the monitoring stations were presented based on linear regression.

The North Korean government conducted its first nuclear test in 2006 and more recently the sixth nuclear test on September 3, 2017. In order to identify how North Korea's nuclear tests have affected the environment, a scientific approach is required. Although North Korea's nuclear tests and their environmental destruction are not a severe threat to the environment of the Korean Peninsula at this time, identifying environmental damage and taking countermeasures in advance are essential to minimize their potential threats to the environments. The purpose of this study is to study the environmental impact of North Korea's nuclear tests using Google Earth image analysis. As a method of the study, we compare Google Earth images taken before and after each nuclear test was conducted in North Korea. To overcome limitations of the suggested comparison method, we cross-checked our results with those of previous scientific research. After the 1st-3rd nuclear tests, green spaces were found to be considerably reduced. In particular, when comparing the Google Earth images before and after the second nuclear test, some ground subsidences were observed. Such subsidences can cause tunnels on the mountainsides and cracks in rocks around the mountains, leading to the release of radioactive materials and contaminating groundwater. Besides, after the 4th-6th nuclear tests, decay and deforestation were observed not in the nuclear test sites, but in their surrounding areas. Especially after the 5th and 6th nuclear tests, the topography and the forests of the surrounding areas were severely damaged. In relation to North Korea's nuclear tests and their impact on the natural environment, we need to prepare various policy measures to reduce North Korea's environmental pollution and natural environment destruction. Those policy measures include the establishment of various cooperative governance between the Korean government, the private sector, the academia, NGOs, and international organizations.
