In view of the problem of the invalidity of the incentive mechanism of the ecological subsidies, which is due to the information asymmetry between the government's supervision and the enterprise endeavor to fulfill their ecological responsibilities, this paper attempts to analyze the supervision of ecological subsidies based on the Principal-agent Model. Two conclusions are drawn: firstly, the government's supervision regarding the effect of the enterprises' fulfilling the ecological responsibilities can significantly reduce the information asymmetry; secondly, the government's incentive strength and the enterprises' endeavor level of fulfilling the ecological responsibilities are both improving the surveillance dynamics. Here is the suggestion: with the increasing of the surveillance dynamics of the government and the transparency of the enterprises' fulfilling the ecological responsibilities, the government should meanwhile increase the subsidies incentive strength, therefore, to promote the effort level of the enterprises' fulfilling the ecological responsibilities to approach to the Pareto optimal value.

Most governments have an interest in unused energy, because of high oil price and climate change. Particularly, it is very important to urban governments which have less renewable energy than other local governments. So Seoul, the capital of Korea, established a plan for the development of unused energy in 2007. But it has some problems related to the feasibility of this plan. So this paper checked and reviewed the economic feasibility of unused energy development cases in four cities by using three sub elements: technology, infrastructure, institution. As a result, it discovered that these urban governments have technological feasibility because they are located near big river or ocean. And they used the existing infrastructure and received the institutional subsidies from central governments in order to increase the economic feasibility of unused energy development projects. In conclusion, local governments of Korea have to try to seek how they can utilize the existing infrastructure for unused energy development in the situation that there are few institutional supports from the central government.

As an aging population has increased vastly and nuclear families have been a dominating family type in modern Korean society, the numbers of the elderly who suffer Empty Nest Syndrome and LID (Loss Isolation Depression) syndrome have been accelerated. These syndromes involve psychological instability, melancholy, and lethargy. To make the elderly get out of this phenomenon and live actively, the scheme of converting their existing house into shared housing was set as a hypothetical solution in this study. This study sets out to find out responses of the elderly to alter their own house's function in housing improvement area. A Small Workshop Panel method was used and the elderly aged 55 years upwards took part and they own a detached house in a housing improvement area that is relatively large for the elderly or the elderly couple to live alone. Through the workshop, problems that the elderly have been experiencing within their houses were looked into and responses of the elderly on altering their house to shared housing by introducing developed schematic plans. Although, the first response was negative, positive responses from the house owners were carried out when a visual support i.e. developed shared housing plan was provided. The positive response was based on the fact that subsidies from the government on house renovation and tenants matching programs are supported as shared housing could provide home owners economical support with rents and help them to feel less lonely. This is a way of relieving the elderly from being neglected and supporting them to live and age actively in their later lives. Furthermore, by providing a visual media to the elder residents in housing improvement area, their greater understandings on the development and addressing their opinions were possible. Therefore, more tools that promote elder residents' participation are needed for future housing improvement projects and an aging society.

생태계의 무분별한 남획과 서식지의 파괴 등으로 생물다양성의 고갈 위험에 처해 있다. 가난한 토착지역에서 농업 생산 증대를 위한 집중적인 비료나 관계 시설 개발로 토양을 황폐하게 한다. 이제 생물다양성 보존은 세계 인류 공존의 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. Post-2020 GBF 선언이후 토착농업지대의 농업 개발에 관한 모든 거버넌스는 생물다양성 보존 대책으로 지지되고 촉진되어야 한다. 생태계 개발과 생물다양성 손실을 줄이고자 하는 절충방안은 공공 거버넌스 정책 수립에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서 생태계 보존에서 상충되는 경제 및 생태 문제를 해결하기 위해 생존 제어 피드백 해석에 사용되는 생존도 커널을 도입하고, 생존도 커널에 의한 생태경제학적 관점에서 생물다양성 보존에 관한 수학적 모형을 통해 살펴보았다. 생태계의 모든 종은 상호의존적이기에 균형이 깨지면 생물다양성이 고갈하게 되고 이는 비가역적 변화로 결국 멸종으로 치닫게 된다. 생물자원의 지속가능한 이용과 조화를 위하여 모든 생물종들을 효율적으로 보호할 수 있는 창의적 거버넌스 등 많은 정책적인 배려를 필요로 한다. 보조금 지급이나 세금 우대 정책은 생물다양성 보존에 직접적인 영향을 끼친다. 생물다양성이 감소하는 상태에서 생물종의 회복은 그 경제적인 가치가 크다고 할 수 있다. 생물다양성은 토착지역 생산자들이 그들의 독특한 전통 지식을 자랑스럽게 여기고 지역 관광에도 긍정적인 영향을 줌으로써 지역 정체성을 제고하고, 인류의 생존과 번영에 크게 기여할 수 있게 된다.
