Recently, rapid development of technique and change of lifestyle during nighttime has activated the urban outdoor lighting and renovated consideration of nightscape. As the interest of nightscape increases more widely, outdoor lighting has been installed more and more in the cities. Nightscape comes in diverse forms. So, there is no absolute standard for outdoor lighting. But only bright outdoor lighting is not necessarily a good nightscape. Installation lighting without master plan or excessive outdoor lighting may cause a inharmony. This study aims to analyze the luminous characteristics of facade in shopping complexes. For the purpose, four large-scale shopping complexes located in Dongdaemun area were selected. Building facade composition, outdoor lighting composition, and lighting equipment of each shopping complexes are surveyed, and luminance of building facade were measured with Prometric 1400. The result of the study are as follows; (1) Horizontally large-scale shopping complexes emphasize the building entrance and shape of the building at night by outdoor lighting. (2) Non cut-off luminaries installed in building entrance and shop front caused the potential of light pollution.

국내 외에서 생태 수리해석 및 생태 서식 조건을 충족시키기 위한 최적 생태유량 (생태 유지유량) 산정에 대한 연구는 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 상대적으로 생태 유지유량을 확보하기 위한 연구는 기존의 방법에서 크게 변화하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 하천 유지유량을 확보하는 방안은 신규 댐/저수지 개발, 하수처리장 방류수 활용 등과 같은 직접 확보 방안과 댐/저수지 운영 효율 개선, 하천 유수점용허가 관리 등과 같은 간접 확보 방안으로 구분할 수 있다. 그러나 도시 하천에서 유지유량을 확보하기 위해 기존의 방법을 적용하는 것은 현실적으로 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 2차원 물리서식처 모형인 River2D를 이용하여, 물리서식처가 생태유량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대상구간은 한강의 제1지류인 홍제천으로 선정하였으며, 대상 구간은 하수처리장 방류수를 통해 유지유량이 확보되고 있으며, 추가적인 유지유량을 확보하기 현실적으로 어려운 구간이다. 물리서식처가 생태유량에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 현재 상태와 추가적인 물리서식처를 고려한 2차원 물리서식처 모의를 진행하였다. 이를 통해 물리서식처를 추가적으로 적용할 경우 현재 상태대비 물리 서식환경이 증가되어 생태유량이 일정부분 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 도시하천에 물리 서식처를 도입하여 생태 서식공간이 증가함으로써 생태유량을 확보할 수 있는 방안에 대한 방법론을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

With the application of wireless sensor networks in the fields of ecological observation, defense military, architecture and urban management etc., the security problem is becoming more and more serious. Characteristics and constraint conditions of wireless sensor networks such as computing power, storage space and battery have brought huge challenges to protection research. Inspired by the danger theory in biological immune system, this paper proposes an intrusion detection model for wireless sensor networks. The model abstracts expressions of antigens and antibodies in wireless sensor networks, defines meanings and functions of danger signals and danger areas, and expounds the process of intrusion detection based on the danger theory. The model realizes the distributed deployment, and there is no need to arrange an instance at each sensor node. In addition, sensor nodes trigger danger signals according to their own environmental information, and do not need to communicate with other nodes, which saves resources. When danger is perceived, the model acquires the global knowledge through node cooperation, and can perform more accurate real-time intrusion detection. In this paper, the performance of the model is analyzed including complexity and efficiency, and experimental results show that the model has good detection performance and reduces energy consumption.

Climate change due to global warming and changes in land use increase the development time and distribution, as well as the abundance, of mosquitoes, thereby negatively affecting human life and health. In this study, we investigated the habitat characteristics of mosquito occurrence sites in Danwon-gu, Ansan city, Korea, based on a daily record of civil pest complaints lodged at the Danwon-gu Community Health Center. We considered two types of factors (natural and artificial) known to affect mosquito occurrence. We confirmed a total of 554 cases of mosquito occurrence from March 2014 to August 2017. The total study area was $49.11km^2$, with urban areas constituting the largest proportion. Additionally, we investigated habitat preferences of mosquitoes in terms of terrain factors; generally, mosquitoes occurred at low elevations and on low slopes. Regarding the preference of oviposition sites, mosquitoes occurred at higher rates near streams and crops lands. The rate of mosquito occurrence tended to increase in areas with dense human populations. Regarding climatic factors, the rate of mosquito occurrence increased in areas with high temperature and low precipitation.

Damage to the natural environment is becoming increasingly complex in modern society, expanding to impact not only the environment but also society and the economy. Various systems and policies based on sustainability have been promoted internationally. Legal systems and policies based on evaluation systems such as land environment assessment and urban ecological status maps, have been implemented in Korea. However, most of Korea institutions and policies related to the natural environment have been directed toward the conservation of the natural environment, and restricted to in simple theoretical frameworks with various limitations. Therefore, this study analyzed the definition and value of the natural environment for a fundamental conceptual approach to the valuation of the natural environment. Based on this, we modeled the policy process for a flexible evaluation system suitable for the actual situation of Korea natural environment through a review of the integration of environmental policy proposed in Europe.

Nuclear energy has the potential to play an influential role in energy transition efforts than is now anticipated by many countries. Realizing sustainable human development and reducing global climate crises will become more difficult without significantly increasing nuclear power. This paper aims to probe the role of nuclear energy, external debt, and financial globalization in sustaining human development and environmental conditions simultaneously in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries. This study applied a battery of second-generation estimation approaches over the period from 1990 to 2019. These methods are useful and robust to cross-countries dependencies, slope heterogeneity, parameters endogeneity, and serial correlation that are ignored in conventional approaches to generate more comprehensive and reliable estimates. The empirical findings indicate that nuclear energy and financial globalization contribute to human development, whereas external debt inhibits it. Similarly, financial globalization accelerates ecological deterioration, but nuclear energy and external debt promote environmental sustainability. Moreover, the study reveals bidirectional feedback causalities between human development, carbon emissions and nuclear energy consumption. The study offers useful policy guidance on accomplishing sustainable and inclusive development in BRICS countries.

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been increasing with anthropogenic contamination. Understanding the prevalence and distribution of these resistant bacteria in environments is crucial for effectively managing anthropogenic pollutants. Lake Gyeongpo in the Gangwon Province of South Korea is known for its diverse ecological features and human interactions. The lake is exposed to pollutants from nonpoint sources, including urban areas, agricultural practices, and recreational activities, which can introduce antibiotics and foster antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The present study investigates Lake Gyeongpo as a potential reservoir for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a natural ecosystem. A total of 203 bacterial isolates were collected from six sampling locations in Lake Gyeongpo during May, July, and November 2022. Most isolates were taxonomically identified as Pseudoalteromonas, Bacillus, Shewanella, and Vibrio spp.; their abundance showed a spatiotemporal distribution. An antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted on 75 isolates using the disk diffusion method with six drugs according to the CLSI guideline; 42 isolates were resistant to one or more antibiotics. Among these, 15 isolates were identified as multidrug resistant bacteria. This finding suggests the potential anthropogenic impact on Lake Gyeongpo and provides valuable insights into the dissemination of antibiotic resistance caused by anthropogenic pollutants.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the distribution of work-life integration against COVID-19 and its Implications by analyzing remote work in Switzerland. Research design, data and methodology: The study performed literature review and descriptive analyses using various data such as perception surveys, statistics, and related documents. Results: The infectious disease was a turning point for many people in Switzerland by changing where and how people want to live. Since the COVID-19 crisis demonstrated that disease could be spread by proximity, negative perception about urban areas expanded, and rural areas are increasingly preferred due to fresh and clean air and a more ecological lifestyle. In addition, increased remote work, a change brought about by COVID-19, has subsequently led to changes in household habits and needs. Distance from work is no longer an important factor when someone chooses where to live. A trend is now emerging where households wanting to improve the quality of life leave the city center and move to the suburbs. Conclusions: Paradoxically, such trend accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis has an unintendedly positive impact on the distribution of work-life integration across society while providing more flexibility in terms of place and time management and lowering the burden on roads and infrastructure.

The main objective of this article is to highlight the progress made in the development of new materials that have been gradually used by humans until today. Of course, this progress must be associated with other parameters in order to guarantee sustainable development. For this, today, it has become urgent to reduce the consumption of cement by resorting to its partial or total replacement by other similar materials in order to reduce CO₂ emissions in our environment. This should certainly help to develop greener building materials. In this study, it was decided to proceed with the partial or total replacement of Portland cement type CEM II/B-L-42.5N by slate and lime that had not undergone any previous transformation. The results obtained revealed that the mortar whose substitution compared to the replacement of cement (100%) cement and sand (0/4) confers better kinetics than those of the series composed of(100%) cement and fraction rubble (0/1).

도시공원은 복잡하고 과밀한 도시에서 도시민들에게 생태적 가치뿐만 아니라, 사회문화적 가치가 있는 중요한 시설이자 공간이다. 하지만, 도시공원을 조성하고 유지관리하기 위해서는 다양한 주체의 의지와 실행이 필요하며, 특히 재정적인 부분이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시를 대상으로 도시공원 조성 관련 예산분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 서울시 예산은 지속적으로 증가한 반면, 푸른도시국 및 공원 조성 예산은 2011년 이후 감소하였다. 민선시기별로 보면 공원조성이 주요 시책사업이었던 민선 1기, 3기, 4기에는 예산이 증가한 반면, 민선 6기 이후부터는 예산이 급격하게 감소하였다. 시공원에 비해 자치구에서 관리하는 공원은 예산이 10% 내외로 분석되었다. 둘째, 예산편성 특징인 공원별 연평균예산과 예산투입기간(연단위)을 기준으로 3개의 유형으로 구분할 수 있었다. 단년도 예산편성을 원칙으로 하는 지방자치단체 여건상 장기적인 관점에서 계획을 세우고 추진하는 것은 어려움이 있을 것이다. 하지만, 공원녹지는 단기적인 성과를 위한 사업이 아닌 장기적인 관점에서 접근하여야 하는 만큼 지속적인 예산확보를 위한 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구는 그동안 연구되지 않았던 공원 관련 예산분석을 시도하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으나, 연구대상을 푸른도시국 예산으로 한정하여 자치구 관할 공원에 대해서는 검토하지 못한 한계가 있어 추가 연구가 필요하다.
