본 논문은 과학철학자 캐롤린 머천트의 2020년 신간 『인류세와 인문학: 기후변화부터 지속가능성의 새로운 시대까지』(The Anthropocene and the Humanaties: From Climate Changes to a New Age of Sustainability)를 중심으로 2020년까지의 인류세 담론 지형을 살펴보고 머천트가 주창하는 환경 인문학적 렌즈를 통해 지구의 생태위기에 대응할 수 있는 인문학적 성찰을 고구해 보고자 한다. 생태주의와 페미니즘이 결합된 '생태 페미니즘'의 선구자라 할 수 있는 캐롤린 머천트는 『인류세와 인문학』을 출간함으로써 가장 최근에 인류(anthropos)가 주도하는 지질시대를 뜻하는 '인류세(anthropocene)' 담론에 뛰어들었다. 머천트는 자신의 대표작인 1980년 저서, 『자연의 죽음』(The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution)을 통해 근대 서구의 자연관이 자연을, 그리고 자연과 동일시되는 여성을 비유적으로 함께 살해해 왔음을 고발한 바 있다. 『인류세와 인문학』에서 머천트는 인류세 시대가 '제2의 자연의 죽음'을 행하고 있다며, 환경 인문학적 통찰력을 바탕으로 인간과 비인간 자연의 '지속가능성'과 '동반자 관계'를 만들어갈 것을 주문한다. 본고는 21세기에 들어선 인류가 기후변화로 인한 지구의 생태위기를 체감하는 시점에 발생한 코로나 19 감염병으로 가중된 지구의 인류세적 위기를 극복하기 위해 인문학이 할 수 있는 역할, 즉 환경 인문학적 대안을 생태 페미니즘적 관점에서 고찰해볼 것이다.

본 연구는 식물원 방문객의 효과적인 관리를 위해 그들의 생태의식과 욕구구조의 연관성 규명을 목적으로 시작하였다. 이를 위해 '식물원 이용자의 생태의식과 이용동기수준의 파악', '이용자의 인구통계학적 특성이 생태의식에 미치는 효과', '생태의식과 이용동기와의 연관성 규명'을 연구문제로 설정하였다. 실증분석은 경기도 일원 3개 식물원 방문객 대상의 설문조사로 진행하였다. 이용객의 생태의식은 던랩(Dunlap)의 15개 NEP 척도로 측정하였고, 이용동기는 매슬로우(Maslow)의 7단계 욕구를 활용했다. 3개 조사대상지에서 3일간 조사한 끝에 각 360부의 설문지를 확보하여 본 분석에 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 이용객들의 생태의식과 이용동기는 보통 이상의 높은 수준이었다. 생태의식에서는 '자연균형과 생태위기'와 '반인간 중심주의'에 대한 반응이 높았다. 이용동기에서는 '인지적 욕구'가 가장 높았고, 그 다음은 '애정 및 소속의 욕구', '생리적 욕구'의 순이었다. '자아실현 욕구'와 '자존의 욕구'는 가장 낮았으며, 이 둘을 제외하면 대체로 상위욕구의 비중이 높은 반응을 보였다. 생태의식과 이용동기는 상관성 분석 결과, 부(-)적 상관과 정(+)적 상관이 섞여 있었으나, 정적 상관의 비율이 70% 이상으로 높았다. 분석결과 생태의식과 이용동기는 대체로 낮은 수준의 정적 상관관계 중심으로 형성되어 있다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 '생리적 욕구'와 '인지적 욕구'가 생태의식과 상관성이 높았는데 이는 이 두 욕구가 각각 식물원 방문객의 하위욕구와 상위욕구를 대표하는 욕구로 판단된다. 즉, 식물원 방문객이 학습목적성이 강하지만, 이와 동시에 신체적인 휴식공간으로서의 기대감 또한 적지 않음을 알 수 있다. 연구 결과, 식물원 방문객의 생태의식은 보통 이상의 높은 수준인데, 향후 지속적인 증가가 예상되었다. 따라서 이용동기 또한 계속 높아질 것이며, 특히 '심미적 욕구'와 '인지적 욕구'가 커질 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 식물원의 시각적 자원을 활용한 경관관리가 중요함을 알 수 있다. 아울러 방문객의 지적 욕구를 채워줄 수 있는 컨텐츠가 지속적으로 제공되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, all of the world are facing with a serious environmental crisis of global warming due to excessive energy consumptions. The Korean Government, taking over 97% of dependence on foreign energy, has made various efforts on reducing energy and greenhouse gas emission under the motto of "Low-Carbon Green Growth". Since the building sector takes 24% of domestic energy consumption, many design standards and regulations on saving energy in new buildings have been established. However, applications of energy saving designs and techniques on the remodeling process at deteriorated buildings including educational ones have been lack. Under a situation where the number of deteriorated schools accounts for up to 50%, this paper evaluated the performances of factors for reducing energy at deteriorated middle school buildings through an energy simulation tool on a standard school model. As a result, among factors of insulation, window's SHGC, southern louver, indoor setup temperature, and system efficiency, all other factors except window's SHGC and southern louver proved contribute to reduce energy at deteriorated middle school buildings, compared with the baseline energy consumption.

Increase in energy consumption in building is a big concern world over. In Nepal, energy crisis is a big issue but energy demand in buildings is barely even thought about. In the southern part of Nepal, where the weather is mostly hot during the year, cooling in buildings is very important. This is an initial study regarding building design strategies which focuses on cooling energy consumption in the building. It can be seen from the study that simple passive strategies can be applied in building design which can support in decreasing cooling load. Different passive cooling strategies like orientation, building size, thermal mass, window design and two direct cooling strategies have been investigated in this study. Direct cooling strategies like shading and natural cooling helps in passive cooling. Different desing strategies have different impact on the cooling energy requirement and the study shows that thermo physical property of building materials has the maximum effect on the energy consumption of the building. Each design strategy creates and average of 20% decrease in energy consumption, whereas the thermal conductivity can have as much as 10 times more effect on the energy consumption than other design strategies.

In respond to the global energy crisis and climate change, there have been many ongoing national efforts to develop a sustainable housing prototype followed by "2 million Green Home Project" in Korea. More than 50% of nation's population are currently living in apartment housing thus the country is seriously in need of developing green apartment prototype. In this research, we focused on energy-conservative green apartment design prototype that have both passive components and active systems explored in a systemic design approach. After selecting an existing basic apartment unit, we analyzed and compared statistical data with the simulated annual energy consumption to match these two data sets for validating simulation accuracy performed with TRNSYS package. We performed energy simulations with different passive design factors such as varied insulation thickness, window types and infiltration rates as well as the active design factors including boilers and lighting fixtures to analyze their impacts on the energy performance of the housing unit using TRNSYS software. As a result, we acquired significant energy reduction effect with explored design strategies but the life cycle cost analysis for the final design guidline would need to be performed. In this study, we focused on a systematic comparative energy analysis based on TRNSYS that can improve the design of a green apartment housing.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the development of Silhak as a Korean epistemology, to investigate the implications of Silhak in Korean society, and to discover further environmental implications. The main discussion of this paper concerns with the epistemology of environmental philosophy. Epistemology is based on the justification of certain knowledge and social philosophy. Epistemology, from the Greek words episteme (knowledge) and logos (word/ speech) is the branch of philosophy concerned with theories of the sources, nature, and limits of knowledge. Since the seventeenth century, epistemology has been one of the fundamental themes of philosophers, who were necessarily obliged to coordinate the theory of knowledge with the development of scientific thought. It is a general belief that Western ideology is substantially embedded in Eastern ideology due to physical and metaphysical colonial involvement. We argue that ecological crisis may be resulted from western epistemological mechanical view, thus we suggests a Korean epistemology as an alternative. In this paper, we seek possibility of epistemological alternative of nature in the Korean traditional epistemology incorporating the epistemology of Sung confucianism and The Silhak.

Lights from cities have been a grateful outcome of industrialization and a barometer of how developed the city is. However, indiscriminate exposure to artificial lights caused displeasure to people, ecological crisis to the nature, and overuse of energy. for example, excessive light is cause serious diseases such as sleep disorders, cancer in human, declining populations caused by reducing the ability to reproduce for animals and Plant yield is reduced. Therefore, each local governments have came up with ordinances in accordance with the law "Light Pollution Prevention Act". Accordingly, we've analyzed current Chungcheongbuk-do's current states investigation and reduction method proposed for the light pollution act.

Under the powerful influence of economical and social transformation, namely Post-Industrialization since the 1980's, old industrial cities in western europe faced a severe urban crisis such as high unemployment rates, demographic decline, urban slums, lack of infrastructures and economic shocks. In order to overcome their urban decline, They had to attempt to find a creative re-modelled and re-imaged Urban Development Strategy for the future. Thus Urban Regeneration has been a serious issue of debate in europe. First of all, Urban Regeneration based on cultural strategy have played an increasingly important role in the Post-Industrial cities and regions since 1980's. The purpose of this study is to find out the organized characteristics of Urban Regeneration based on Cultural Strategy by analyzing successful overseas case "Landesgartenschau in Ruhrgebiet, Germany, where has been changed from an old industrial city to a Culture-Service- based City significantly over last several years. It's inner-city old industrial areas with amount of derelict under-used industrial Heritages have been remodelled and reimaged to a creative and attractive public spaces involving Arts and cultural activity by Urban Regeneration based on Cultural Strategy, namely, "Landesgartenschau".

This article illuminates the relationship between the human being and the surrounding things by referring to the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Criticizing our habitual approaches to apprehending 'what a thing is,' the two thinkers elucidate how 'what a thing is' can be understood only in conjunction with situations in the everyday and how humanity is joined with the qualities of the thing. In addition to the situated-ness of a thing, this article demonstrates the situated-ness of the human being, too, by referring to the notion of the horizon in the tradition of phenomenology. The last part of the paper discusses the basic premises of sustainability in reference to the situated-ness of both things and human beings. Framing natural things such as light as the alternative sources of energy propagandized in sustainability seems progressive. However, this attitude maintains fundamentally the same instrumental attitude we had towards nature, an attitude that has caused the current ecological crisis. By pointing this out, this article seeks to shape a ground for a broad spectrum of sustainability that embraces non-instrumental dimensions such as the practical, the ethical and the spiritual. This article also points out the limits of some of the currently available versions of ecology such as Shallow Ecology and Deep Ecology. In so doing, it seeks to lay out the parameters that any future version of sustainability and ecology needs to address.
