In Korea, a movement for forming intentional communities is gathering people's interests to improve individualistic living environment, and to create a humanistic lifestyle. However, it is difficult to say if its management is successful or not, because intentional community is just in the experimental stage in Korea. The purpose of this study is to identify actual condition of residents' participation in forming process, shared activities in their daily lives, residents' regulation, common facilities and its management in order to offer basic information for revitalization of intentional communities in Korea. 7 intentional communities including eco-friendly villages, religious communities and a cooperative housing community were collected as the study objects. Upon analysis, those communities were divided into two groups according to their purpose of establishment; "HC (Housing-life focused Community includes cooperative housing community and eco-friendly community)" and "IC (Ideology focused Community includes ideology community and religious community)" in order to identify difference in residents' participation between the two groups. In-dept interviews with representatives of 7 intentional communities by a structured questionnaire were used as study method. The findings of this study are as follows; In general, more active residents' participation is identified in ICs than in HCs. There is no common house, which is considered as essential in intentional community, in HCs, while it was facilitated in all ICs. Role of leader seems more important in ICs than in HCs. About the ownership of housing and land, private owned is common in HCs, while community owned is common in ICs. Shared activities and residents' regulations are evidently less in most HCs than in ICs. Furthermore, in order to run a community sustainable, it is crucial to encourage sense of community among residents, and developing common house and activity programs. Common house design, which can promote proactive residents' participation in shared activity should be studied fitted to Korean circumstances. Above all, proactive participation in the shared activities is one of the most important factors in intentional community.

외국에서는 1980년대부터 '도서관과 환경', '그린도서관 사서', '환경정보원구축', '소음과 도서관', '환경적 대안으로서의 도서관구축' 등으로 녹색도서관에 관한 논의가 시작되었으며, 녹색도서관인증평가시스템에 의해 인증받은 도서관이 50개가 넘는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서의 녹색도서관 구축방향을 제시하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 국내 외 녹색도서관으로 인증받은 녹색도서관 구축사례를 분석하였다. 사례분석은 LEED인증시스템의 여섯 가지 평가항목 즉, 친환경적 건설장소, 수자원활용의 효율성, 에너지 및 대기, 자재와 자원, 실내환경친화도, 친환경실내디자인을 기준으로 도서관 녹색화가 이루어진 내용을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 이러한 인증은 건축적인 면에 초점을 맞추고 있어서 도서관의 친환경성을 좀 더 확대하여 생각할 필요가 있을 것이다. 즉 아직까지 연구되지 않고 있는 도서관의 서비스, 콘텐츠, 도서관용품 등의 친환경에 대한 보다 심층적인 연구가 필요하다고 본다.

The electrical discharge of high voltage direct current(HVDC) overhead transmission line generate audible noise, radio noise, electric field, ion current and induced voltage on the ground. These items are major factors to design environmentally friendly configuration of DC transmission line. Therefore, HVDC transmission lines must be designed to keep all these corona effects within acceptable levels. Several techniques have been used to assess interference caused by ions on HVDC overhead transmission line. In this study, to assess the ion characteristic of DC line, the ion current density and induced voltage caused by ion flow were measured by plate electrodes manufactured from a metal flat board and charged bodies, respectively. The charged body has two types of cylinder and cylindrical plate. From the results of calibration experiments, the sensitivity of flat electrode and charged body can be obtained. At present, the developed system is used to investigate the ion generation characteristics of Kochang DC ${\pm}500kV$ test line.

This paper presents a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) flexible monopole antenna design on a paper substrate. The proposed antenna is made of iterations of a circular slot inside an octagonal metallic patch. This fractal-based geometry has been deployed to achieve compactness along with improved bandwidth, measured reflection coefficient -10 dB bandwidth ranging from 2.7 to 15.8 GHz. The overall size of the antenna is $26mm{\times}19mm{\times}0.5mm$, which makes it a compact one. The substrate used is paper and the main features like environment friendly, flexibility, green electronics applications and low cost of fabrication are the key factors for the proposed antenna. The aforementioned UWB prototype is suitable for many wireless communication systems such as WiMAX, WiFi, RFID and WSN applications. Antenna has been tested for the effect of bending by placing it over a curved surface of a very small radius of 10 mm.

일반적으로 카누는 목재나 FRP 등으로 제작된다. 그러나 소비자들은 기존의 재료에 비하여 염가이면서 친환경 재료를 선호한다. 특히, 선진국에서는 일부 선박에 대하여 FRP 선체 제조를 금지하는 법안을 발표하고 이에 따른 국제협약을 제정하였다. 폴리에틸렌은 식료품 용기나 의료용 용기로 널리 사용되는 재료로서 리사이클 가능한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 카누 선체 재료로 폴리에틸렌으로 선정하였으며 선형설계는 상용 선형 설계 프로그램인 3D Boat Design을 이용하여 수행하였다. 카누 구조하중은 우선 ANSYS CFX R12.1을 이용하여 선체에 작용되는 압력 분포를 구하고 이것을 ANSYS WORKBENCH R12.1로 넘겨 선체 압력 하중과 패들러 하중을 동시에 고려하였다. 카누 각 치수를 설계변수화하여 응력과 무게를 최소화하는 최적화 과정을 반응표면방법과 만족도 함수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 개발된 카누는 운항시험에서 직진성이나 안정성은 우수하나 운반성과 선회성 및 속도는 보통인 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop cushion curves models and analyze the cushioning performance of multi-layered corrugated structures (MLCS) using a method based on dynamic stress-energy relationship. Methods: Cushion tests were performed for developing cushion curve models under 12 combinations of test conditions: three different combinations of drop height, material thickness, and static stress for each of four levels of energy densities between 15 and $60kJ/m^3$. Results: Dynamic stress and energy density for MLCS followed an exponential relationship. Cushion curve models were developed as a function of drop height, material thickness, and static stress for different paperboards and flute types. Generally, the differences between the shock pulse (transmitted peak acceleration) and cushion curve (position and width of belly portion) for the first drop and the averaged second to fifth drop were greater than those for polymer-based cushioning materials. Accordingly, the loss of cushioning performance of MLCS was estimated to be greater than that of polymer-based cushioning materials with the increasing number of drops. The position of the belly of the cushion curve of MLCS tends to shift upward to the left with increasing drop height, and the belly portion became narrower. However, depending on material thickness, under identical conditions, the cushion curve of MLCS showed an opposite tendency. Conclusions: The results of this study can be useful for environment-friendly and optimal packaging design as shock and vibrations are the key factors in cushioning packaging design.

Korea's transportation paradigm is shifting from a vehicle-oriented transportation plan to a pedestrian-friendly environment that emphasizes walking safety. However, the level of pedestrian traffic accidents in Korea is still high and serious. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the severity of pedestrians traffic accidents using the multilevel logistic regression model based on 2015-2017 pedestrian accidents data provided by the Traffic Accident Analysis System(TAAS). The main results of the multilevel logistic regression model showed that 89% of pedestrian traffic accidents in Seoul were explained by individual characteristics such as drivers and pedestrians, and 11% were explained by neighborhood environmental characteristics. The results are as follows : In the individual characteristics such as pedestrians and drivers, the older the pedestrians and the drivers, the higher the traffic accident severity. The severity of traffic accidents was high when the pedestrians were female and the drivers were male. In the case of accident types, traffic accidents were more serious in the cases of heavy vehicles, inclement weather, and occurring at intersections and crosswalks. The results of the neighborhood environmental characteristics are as follows. The intersection density and the crosswalk density tended to reduce the severity of traffic accidents. On the other hand, the traffic light density and the school zones were founded to related to the higher level of traffic accident severity. This study suggests that both individual and neighborhood environmental characteristics should be considered together to prevent and reduce the severity of pedestrian traffic accidents.
