The study on the critical success factors (CSF) for electronic commerce systems has been a hot topic in both academe and industry. On the basis of reviewing papers on CSF and analyzing their problems, this paper designs the initial assessment indictors and website features and functions influencing EC success. Using Delphi survey and data analysis, we get the five important assessment indictors and seven important web features and functions. Furthermore, the hypothesis of CSF model is proposed. Finally, we conduct a survey on the Chinese Publishing Industry to test the hypothesis. The result shows that the hypothesis is partly supported, which means useful and understandable information, complete and timely information, credible and accurate information, all product-related information are the critical success factors for EC publishing industry. This research not only impels EC research in China, but also has instructional effect on the implementation of EC for enterprises to increase the success rate of EC.

Soil quality assessment is an important tool for environmental management in an agricultural field. It can be used to evaluate the health of the soils and to establish the basis for sustainable urban agriculture and soil management. For this study, the chemical properties of the soils used for urban agriculture were examined. Results of the soil analysis for chemical properties were applied to soil quality assessment system, which is composed of principal component analysis, application to scoring function and derivation of soil quality index (SQI). Soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (T-N) were determined for minimum data set (MDS) according to principal component analysis. Based on the results of scoring for four indicators (pH, EC, OM, T-N), soil pH was the indicator that needs the most urgent management. Results of SQI derivation showed that many of the urban farms appeared to be insufficient score in comprehensive soil quality assessment. In conclusion, soil management practices based on scores derived from soil chemical indicators need to be carried out to maintain sustainable urban agricultural soil environment and to provide easy-to-understand information to urban farmers.

Microalgae are sensitive indicators of environmental changes, and hence they are widely used in environmental risk assessments and for the development of discharge guidelines. Here we evaluated the toxicity of metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to the marine green microalga, Tetraselmis suecica. The toxicants investigated included the metals, Cu, Ni, and Pb; and the EDCs, bisphenol A (BPA), endosulfan (ES), and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). The endpoints were variations in cell counts and chlorophyll a levels. T. suecica displayed a varied pattern of sensitivity to the toxicants. Based on the 72-h median effective concentration ($EC_{50}$), ES (0.045 mg/L) was most toxic to T. suecica, followed by PCB (3.96 mg/L) and Pb (9.62 mg/L). Interestingly, T. suecica was relatively tolerant to Cu (43.03 mg/L). The 72-h $EC_{50}$ values of Ni and BPA were approximately 16 mg/L. Our data suggest that this species may be relatively tolerant to most of the chemicals within their permissible limits in the environment.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the exposure levels of forklift operators to diesel engine exhaust(DEE) using black carbon(BC), elemental carbon(EC), and nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) as indicators. Methods: A total of eight forklift operators in six collection companies were assessed over a period of two months from July to September 2015. BC was measured using a real-time monitor and respirable EC samples were analyzed using the NIOSH method 5040. $NO_2$ samples were collected using a passive badge-type sampler. Results: The geometric mean of BC, EC and $NO_2$ were $3.1-19.1{\mu}g/m^3$, $2.1-23.8{\mu}g/m^3$, and 12.5-166.6 ppb at all companies. When forklifts were operating both outside and inside, BC concentrations increased 2.0-5.6 times. The highest increase was observed when forklifts were operating indoors. The increase in BC concentrations varied by company(company A: 2.0 times, B: 3.2 times, C: 5.6 times, D: 2.1 times, E: 5.1 times, F: 2.6 times). The geometric mean of BC, EC, and $NO_2$ for the forklift operators was $9.6{\mu}g/m^3$, $7.9{\mu}g/m^3$, and 48.9 ppb, respectively. The geometric mean of BC, EC, and $NO_2$ for manufacturing workers was $9.3{\mu}g/m^3$, $0.9{\mu}g/m^3$, and 85.2 ppb, respectively. The mean BC and EC exposure levels for the forklift operators were slightly higher than those for manufacturing workers, but $NO_2$ levels for manufacturing workers were higher than those for the forklift operators(p>0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that diesel exhaust emissions standard, forklift weight and forklift manufacturer were the most influential factors in determining worker exposure. Conclusions: In the DEE work environment, workers who perform tasks within the workplace as well as inside forklifts as operators are likely to be exposed to a lack of ventilation. Further study of forklift operators' exposure to DEE indicators should be conducted to include a wider range of occupational and environmental situations, such as collection procedures, seasonal situations, types of fuel used, and number of forklifts.

At both international and national levels, such as in the Rio Declaration and the EU's Fifth Environmental Action Plan, governments have committed themselves to the adoption of the precautionary principle (UNCED 1992, CEC 1992). These commitments mean that the existence of uncertainty in appraising policies and proposals for development should be acknowledged. Uncertainty arise in both the prediction of impacts and in the evaluation of their significance, particularly of those cumulative impacts which are individually insignificant but cumulatively damaging. The EC network of EIA experts, stated at their last meeting in Athens that indirect effects and the treatment of uncertainty are one of the main deficiencies of current EIA practice. Uncertainties in decision-making arise where choices have been made in the development of the policy or proposal, such as the selection of options, the justification for that choice, and the selection of different indicators to comply with different regulatory regimes. It is also likely that a weighting system for evaluating significance will have been used which may be implicit rather than explicit. Those involved in decision-making may employ different tolerances of uncertainty than members of the public, for instance over the consideration of the worst-case scenario. Possible methods for dealing with these uncertainties include scenarios, sensitivity analysis, showing points of view, decision analysis, postponing decisions and graphical methods. An understanding of the development of cumulative environmental impacts affords not only ecologic but also socio-economic investigations. Since cumulative impacts originate mainly in centres of urban or industrial development, in particular an analysis of future growth effects that might possibly be induced by certain development impacts. Not least it is seen as an matter of sustainability to connect this issue with ecological research. The serious attempt to reduce the area of uncertainty in environmental planning is a challenge and an important step towards reliable planning and sustainable development.

전북도내에서 농업용수원으로 사용되고 있는 소규모 하천들의 수질 및 오염부하량 조사를 통해 효율적인 수질개선을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 24개 하천의 수질은 EC가 $0.07{\sim}0.52$ dS/m, BOD가 $0.1{\sim}5.0$ mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$이 $0.6{\sim}17.7$ mg/L 등 이었으며, 범위는 다양하였으나 연도에 따른 평균값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 ${SO_4}^{2-}$은 $5.7{\sim}52.7$ mg/L, $Cl^-$함량은 $0.9{\sim}57.5$ mg/L, $Na^+$함량은 $2.5{\sim}48.9$ mg/L의 범위를 보여 관개용수 수질로는 양호한 상태였다. 조사하천 대부분의T-N 함량은 5.0 mg/L 이하, T-P함량은 0.10 mg/L이하였으나 일부 하천에서 5.0 mg/L 이상의 질소를 함유하고 있는 경우가 있어 관개수질을 고려한 합리적인 시비가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 강우기의 EC, $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;K^+$ 및 $Na^+$ 등의 함량은 감소하였지만, BOD, $COD_{Cr},\;COD_{Mn}$, T-N 및 T-P의 농도는 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 높은 농도의 SS가 하천 유량의 증가와 함께 유출되고 있어 강우기의 지표면 유출이 수계에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 조사하천의 오염부하량은 BOD가 $9.6{\sim}757.9$ kg/day, T-N이 $51.2{\sim}1418.5$ kg/day, T-P가 $0.3{\sim}44.7$ kg/day로 유역 및 성분에 따라 많은 차이를 보이고 있었다. 갈수기에 비하여 강우기에 BOD는 $3.0{\sim}4.4$배, T-N는 $3.0{\sim}4.0$배, T-P는 $4.1{\sim}5.6$배의 부하량 증가를 보여 강우기에 주변 유역에서의 유기물을 비롯한 각종 영양염류의 유출이 많아지고 있었다. 논 면적비율이 30%이상인 하천유역(A그룹)이 30%이하인 하천(B그룹)유역이 비하여 영농기였던 7월의 강우기에 유량과 영양물질의 유달부하량이 상대적으로 적게 나타났으며, 갈수기 대비 강우기의 부하량 증가도 B그룹에서 유량이 5.7배 증가한 것에 비교하여 A그룹의 유량 증가는 2.3배로 적게 나타났다. BOD, T-N, T-P의 부하량과 유량과의 회귀식 결정계수($R^2$)는 BOD가 $0.8025^{**}$, T-N이 $0.9229^{**}$, T-P가 $0.7612^{**}$으로 유량과 T-N 부하량과의 상관이 가장 높게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 도시 내 유휴공간을 대상으로 자연적이고 쾌적한 커뮤니티 공간 창출을 위해 LID(low impact development) 기법을 활용한 생태연못 건설을 추진하였다. 생태연못의 제원은 면적 $110m^2$, 평균 수심 $0.45{\pm}0.02m$이며, 하상재료는 자갈(gravel) (diameter ${\leq}60mm$), 모래(diameter ${\leq}2mm$), bentonite로 구성하였다. 조성된 생태연못의 연간 유량 특성을 파악하기 위해 강우 및 수심 모니터링을 실시한 결과, 1년간 조사된 총 강우량은 1,287 mm이며 7, 8월에 전체의 약 71.3% (918 mm)를 차지하는 계절적 불균형을 보였으나 보조수원의 공급으로 인해 연간 평균수심은 $0.45{\pm}0.02m$로 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 기초수질의 연간 경향은 수온($5.2{\sim}28.8^{\circ}C$), DO (5.0~13.8 mg/L), EC ($113{\sim}265{\mu}S/cm$) 등의 사례를 볼 때 계절에 따른 증감을 나타내었다. 이화학적 수질 중 BOD, COD, TN, TP의 경우 10월 이후에 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 $NH_3$나 $PO_4{^{3-}}$는 전반적으로 낮았다. 식물플랑크톤 지표인 Chl-a와 BGA (blue green algae)는 7~8월에 급격한 상승을 보였으며 정체수역의 특성에 따라 녹조류(Selenastrum bibraianum, Pediastrum boryanum 등)와 사상형 남조류(Phormidium sp.)가 주요 종으로 출현하였다. 수중 이온($F^-$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$)은 보존성 물질인 $Cl^-$와 강한 상관관계를 보였다(R=0.70~0.97, p<0.05). 결론적으로 생태연못의 수질은 계절변화 또는 강우와 같은 외부 환경에 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 유량의 증감과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 향후 유휴공간에 적용된 생태연못의 효과적인 수질관리 및 생물다양성 증진을 위해서는 본 연구에서 조사된 특성들을 참고하여 생태적으로 상호 연계성 있는 고찰이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
