The growth of information and communication technology (ICT) has led to a rapid of business paradigm shift incurred in the creation of new social/market value, changes of a value chain and elements producing a value creation, and enlargement of the scope of market competition. It leads to the change and evolution of industrial structure, requiring innovations of policy and institution. However, most studies that have focused on the effect of policy and institution on innovation are based on thick description and qualitative evidence, while paying little attention to these linkages in an empirical way. Hence this study has attempted to empirically analyze policy and institutional factors affecting innovation performance, particularly attention to ICT industry in OECD countries. The findings derived from the empirical analysis provide important implications for catch-up countries in relation to the innovations of policy and institution for effective innovation system and start-up ecosystem.

The rapid urbanization in developing countries is accelerating both the depletion and fragmentation of urban green space, despite the known positive effects of green spaces on the environmental conditions in cities and the quality of life of residents. Consequently, there is a need for practical tools that can support the development of networks of urban green spaces. This article presents a study that used a GIS-based least cost path (LCP) analysis to identify the best alternative for developing an urban green space network in the coastal city of Jakarta, Indonesia, which was based on the evaluation of topography and land use characteristics. Pair-wise analysis was used to reduce the sensitivity in the LCP model. The results showed that the coastal wetlands in the northern part of Jakarta and the agricultural fields in the suburban areas of Jakarta play an important role in connecting the green space network. On the other hand, some green spaces in the central part of Jakarta could not be connected by the LCP model. The method used in this study can serve as a tool to support the identification of networks of potential urban green spaces. It can also provide useful information for sustainable urban landscape planning and management in urban ecosystems. However, the inclusion of socio-economic criteria would further improve the model.

Mikania micrantha, a neo-tropical vine, is spreading rapidly in the tropical part of Nepal and is now threatening the rural ecosystem including biodiversity and rural livelihoods. However, no attempt has been made to control the spread of M. micrantha. As a result, the vines are spreading freely and rapidly. After a thorough literature review and assessment of forest management practices, we proposed a manual cutting method, as it suits the Nepalese situation for several reasons: required labor is readily available, as local communities are managing forest patches, and the method does not have any potential adverse effects on non-target native species. Experimental plots were laid out in August 2011 to examine the effectiveness of manual cutting. Two different site types based on canopy coverage were selected and divided into three blocks based on cutting strategy. Four treatments were assigned across the experimental plots following a complete block design. We harvested above-ground biomass according to the assigned treatment. The results suggested that there should be at least two consecutive cuttings within a 3-week interval before flowering, and that three consecutive cuttings resulted in 91% mortality of the vines. In addition, cutting promoted regeneration of native plant species. Employing regular cutting operations can modify understory shade enhancing regeneration of native species, which is a desirable condition to constrain proliferation of M. micrantha. Periodic cuttings reduced the competitiveness of M. micrantha regardless of canopy openness, but native ground cover should be retained.

In recent years, as the environment has become an important issue in dealing with food, energy, and urban development, diverse environment-related applications such as environmental monitoring and ecosystem management have emerged. In such applications, automatic classification of animals using video or sound is very useful in terms of cost and convenience. So far, many works have been done for animal sounds classification using artificial intelligence techniques such as a convolutional neural network. However, most of them have dealt only with the sound of a specific class of animals such as bird sounds or insect sounds. Due to this, they are not suitable for classifying various types of animal sounds. In this paper, we propose a sound classification scheme based on a multi-feature network for classifying sounds of multiple species of animals. To do that, we first collected multiple animal sound datasets and grouped them into classes. Then, we extracted their audio features by generating mixed records and used those features for training. To evaluate the effectiveness of our scheme, we constructed an animal sound classification model and performed various experiments. We report some of the results.

Korea successfully achieved energy independence in the shortest period of time from being the poorest country in terms of energy 50 years ago through steady development of nuclear technology. In the past, the nuclear industry has been driven through government-centered policy development, public institution-based research, and industrial facility and infrastructure construction. Consequently, South Korea became a nuclear energy powerhouse exporting nuclear power plants to the UAE, surpassing the level of domestic technological independence. However, in recent years, the nuclear industry in Korea has experienced a decline in new plant construction since the Fukushima accident in Japan, which caused changes in public perspectives regarding nuclear power plant operation, more stringent safety standards on the operation of nuclear power plants, and a shift in governmental energy policy. These changes are expected to change the domestic nuclear industry ecosystem. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the priority of technology development investment from the perspective of experts in private nuclear power companies, shifting the focus from government-led nuclear R&D policies. To establish a direction in nuclear technology development, a survey was conducted by applying an analytic hierarchy analysis to experts who have worked in nuclear power plants for more than 15 years. The analysis items of focus were the 3 attributes of strategic importance, urgency, and business feasibility of four major fields related to nuclear energy: nuclear safety, decommissioning, radioactive waste management, and strengthening industrial competitiveness.

It is crucial to predict water temperature for aquatic ecosystem studies and management. In this paper, we first address challenging issues in predicting water temperature in a real time manner and propose a distributed computing model to address such issues. Then, we present an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based water temperature prediction model developed for the Soyang River and a cyberinfrastructure system called WT-Agabus to run such prediction models in an automated and real time manner. The ANN model is designed to use only weather forecast data (air temperature and rainfall) that can be obtained by invoking the weather forecasting system at Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and therefore can facilitate the automated and real time water temperature prediction. This paper also demonstrates how easily and efficiently the real time prediction can be implemented with the WT-Agabus prototype system.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer a wide variety of techniques that promote cost-efficient stormwater management practices. In particular, low impact development facilities utilize NBS principles to restore the ecosystem services in a highly-urbanized area. Despite the advancements in these technologies, several considerations should still be addressed to ensure optimum functionality and attainment of desired pollutant removal efficiency a LID facility. This study evaluated the mass flushing characteristics of pollutants in an urban catchment and the efficiency of a small constructed wetland (SCW) in treating urban stormwater runoff. 21 rainfall events from 2010 to 2018 were monitored to determine and quantify stormwater pollutants. The highest pollutant washoff was observed on rainfall depths ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm, whereas events with greater rainfall depths exhibited lower pollutant concentrations due to dilution effect. However, the SCW manifested lower pollutant-removal performance on rainfall depths exceeding 10mm due to the exceedance of the facility's design rainfall. This study is beneficial in assessing the dynamics of pollutant washoff and efficiency of LID facilities subjected under various external factors.

1994년 신지도 해양생태계에서 관측된 자료를 이용 Ecopath 영양흐름 모델을 구축하였다. 모델은 생체량과 먹이 조성 자료를 이용하여 우점종의 개체군 역학, 주요 영양흐름의 경로, 생태적 특성을 해석하여 다른 해양 생태계와 비교하였다. 계를 구성하는 그룹은 17개로서 해조류, 식물플랑크톤, 동물플랑크톤, 복족류, 다모류, 이매패류, 극피동물, 갑각류, 두족류, 망둑어, 양태, 홍어, 보구치, 베도라치, 장어, 가자미 및 유기쇄설물을 포함한다. 실험결과 영양단계는 일차생산자와 유기쇄설물로부터 최고 소비자인 가자미 그룹에 이르기까지 1.0~4.0의 범위를 보였다. 계의 총생체량(B)은 0.1 $kgWW/m^2$, 총순일차생산량(PP)과 총통과흐름(TST)은 각기 1.6, 3.4 $kgWW/m^2/yr$이며, TST는 총소비 7%, 총이출 43%, 총호흡(TR) 4%, 총유기쇄설물전환 46%의 합으로 구성된다. PP/TR은 0.012, PP/B는 0.015, 잡식지수는 0.12, 핀순환지수는 0.7%, 평균경로거리는 2.15, 지배용량(A)과 발전용량(C)은 각기 4.1과 8.2 $kgWW/m^2/yr$ bits이며, 상대지배용량(A/C)은 51%를 보였다. 특히 본 연구는 영양상호영향 해석에서 간접적인 경로를 통한 영향을 4가지 형태로 구분하여 기술하였다. 총통과흐름 기운데 총이출이 높은 것은 계가 반폐쇄된 만과 다르게 물질 교환이 크다는 의미이며, 연구해역이 신지도, 조약도, 생일도로 둘러싸인 수로를 통해 강한 조류가 미치는 지역임을 보아 쉽게 알 수 있다. 생태계 이론 및 순환지수 가운데 총생체량, 총통과흐름, PP/TR, 핀순환지수, 평균경로 거리, 잡식지수는 비교적 낮게 산출되었는데, 이는 오덤의 이론에 따라 계가 충분히 성숙하지 못한 근거로 해석되었고, 정보지수인 상대지배용량이 크게 산출된 것은 계가 최대로 발전할 수 있는 용량이 작다는 것으로 해석되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 연구해역은 영양물질의 외부 유출이 커 계가 발전할 수 있는 가능성은 한정되고 현재 발전하고 있는 단계인 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 신지도 해양생태계의 영양흐름 구조와 생태계 특성을 해석한 시험연구로서 향후 생태계의 변화를 비교하거나 관리에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 설계빈도보다 높은 강우가 발생하고, 하천설계 기준을 초과한 홍수 피해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 자연기반해법(NbS, Nature-based Solutions)을 통해 지속가능한 하천관리와 환경 및 사회적 문제를 생태계의 서비스를 통해 해결하고자 하는 개념이 주목받고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 합천댐 하류의 황강을 대상으로 자연기반해법을 활용한 하천관리 방안의 홍수저감 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 자연기반해법 기술에 포함되는 범람원 굴착(Floodplain excavation)과 제방후퇴(Dyke relocation)를 HEC-GeoRAS를 통해 황강의 홍수 위험 지역에 적용하였으며, HEC-RAS의 부정류 흐름(Unsteady flow) 해석을 통해 하천 홍수위를 도출하였다. 그 결과, 홍수 부담이 큰 황강하류에서 약 8cm의 홍수위 저감효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 하천관리 사업의 진행 시 기존의 하천관리 방법이 아닌 자연기반해법을 통한 관리 방안으로 도입할 수 있는 근거로 충분히 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
