The purpose of this study was to evaluate Korean and foreign environmental education programs: 3 Korean programs including 'Environmental Education Program' for primary school level, 'Environment' for middle school level, 'Ecology and Environment' for high school level and 2 foreign programs including 'TLSF(Teaching and Loaming for a Sustainable Future) Program and IEEIA(Investigating and Evaluating Environmental Issues and Actions) Program using IAEEC (The Inventory for Assessing Environmental Education Curricula) by Kim (2003). The IAEEC include four goal levels of the foundations level, the conceptual awareness level, the investigation level, environmental action skills level and an optical level: teaching methods and practice. The IAEEC use a 5-point Likert scale to identify the extent to which an environmental education curriculum or a program reflects the goals of environmental education. It was found that our school environmental education programs need to be more involved, especially in the areas of social foundations (political & legal); personal beliefs and values in environmental issue and the critical analysis of the issue by identifying important players' positions, beliefs, and values; and the environmental action to solve the issue and evaluate the consequences and effectiveness of the action plan. This study can provide a meaningful direction for program development in environmental education and especially provide school-teachers with reliable sources in analyzing environmental education programs for their school classes.

Following the UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992, a number of companies began to incorporate the concept of Environmental Sustainability into their business activities. Soon after this, interest in business sustainability within the academic world began to grow and a number of universities in Europe and North America decided to develop environmental management education-related materials and curricula under the support from their respective govemments and private companies. Starting in 1996, a wide-range of environmental management education programs also began to appear in several Korean universities. However, in contrast with the gradual evolution of environmental management education into a single study field internationally, environmental management education in Korea has not become fully specialized, nor has it developed in a systematic manner. In order to enhance and facilitate domestic environmental management education in Korea, universities must put more effort into differentiating environmental management education courses from regular environmental courses through the development of curricula related to business management. The business world has an immense impact on the environment and international environmental regulations are steadily becoming stronger. In this light, environmental education programs need to extend their sphere of study not only to the spread of knowledge and sensitivity towards the environment among members of the general public, but also train businessmen to have an understanding of how their actions impact the environment.

지하수의 질산오염 문제는 한국을 포함한 세계의 여러나라에서 보고되어 왔다. 질산염은 청색증 유발물질로서 뿐만 아니라 발암물질일 가능성도 동물실험을 통해 제기되고 있다. 대부분의 경우에 지하수 질산염의 주요 오염원은 농작물 생산량의 향상을 위해 사용하는 비료이다. 그밖에 가축의 분뇨, 산업폐기물 및 생활하수도 지역에 띠라 질산염 오염원이 될 시기는 언제인가를 결정하기 위하여 의사결정권자는 여러가지의 작물경작방법에 따라 지하수 질산오염이 어떻게 변하는지를 시계열로 예측할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 직물경작방법에 따른 지하수 질산오염을 예측하는데 필요한 토질특성, 비료의 사용량, 작물의 종류 같은 자료의 대부분은 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 불확실성은 경제성 때문에 자료의 불충분한 조사와 인간지식의 부족으로 인해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 불확실성을 고려하면서 작물경작방법에 따른 지하수 질산오염의 변화를 예측하는 방법을 실제적인 사례를 통해 보여준다. 그리고 자료의 불확실성을 표현하기 위해 퍼지집합이론(fuzzy set theory)은 본 논문에서 응용되었다.

Control architecture of the action based robot engineering can be divided into two types of deliberate type - and reactive type- controller. Typical deliberate type, slow in reaction speed, is well suited for the realization of the higher intelligence with its capability to forecast on the basis of environmental model according to time flow, while reactive type is suitable for the lower intelligence as it fits to the realization of speedy reactive action by inputting the sensor without a complete environmental model. Looking at the environments in the application areas in which robots are actually used, we can see that they have been mostly covered by the uncertain and unknown dynamic changes depending on time and place, the previously known knowledge being existed though. It may cause, therefore, any deterioration of the robot performance as well as further happen such cases as the robots can not carry out their desired performances, when any one of these two types is solely engaged. Accordingly this paper aims at suggesting Goal-oriented Geometric Model(GGM) Based Intelligent System Architecture which leads the actions of the robots to perform their jobs under variously changing environment and applying the suggested system structure to the navigation issues of the robots. When the robots do perform navigation in human life changing in a various manner with time, they can appropriately respond to the changing environment by doing the action with the recognition of the state. Extending this concept to cover the highest hierarchy without sticking only to the actions of the robots can lead us to apply to the algorithm to perform various small jobs required for the carrying-out of a large main job.

The so called Antarctic Treaty System, started from the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, has gradually been enlarged into the concept of an international environmental regime, which has been included in not a few international institutions, treaties, conventions, and international non-governmental organizations (INGO). This kind of movement, as in the role of an international environmental regime, has recently been highlighted in the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. This Protocol is taking appropriate measures as an international environmental regime in regulating its member nations by enforcing principles in protecting Antarctic resources and environment, regulating member nations' Antarctic activities, establishing norms in the adoption of international and domestic laws, and devising regulations for deciding administrative actions through the member nations' collective decision-making procedures. h this context, this paper is to test a few questions; firstly, how the Antarctic Treaty System can be related with the role of international environmental regime; secondly, how the theories of international environmental regime, such as the hegemony theory, rational choice theory, and international morality theory, can be tested in the role of Antarctic Treaty System as an international environmental regime. Finally, this paper provides a solution for the future problems of the Antarctic Treaty System as an international environmental regime regarding the regime's principle (conflict between the environmental principle and the right of nation-state), norms and regulations (the conflict between the developed and underdeveloped nations in terms of the concept of 'common but differentiated environmental responsibility'), cooperation directions (the leadership problems between hegemonic nation and multilateral leading groups), and management methods (cooperation and arrangement problems among expert institutions, observer groups, and INGO).

The purpose of this study is to understand what kind of effects a local residents’ participation on a local environmental problem has on the Environmental consciousness of the resident, and on the local community. I (researcher) employed qualitative research methods on the residents' environmental movement, which claimed to preserve the Sung Mi Mountain from the Seoul City Hall's plan of the water reservoir construction. I tried to understand the participation motivation and participating actions, and also the changes and effects the participation brought at both a personal, and community level. The data were gathered by means of in-depth interview with the local residents and unstructured questionnaire. At first, through the residents' environmental movement, the participants acquired a growth in environmental consciousness. For example, they obtained better understanding of the environment, change of attitude to environment, and participation function. Secondly, it is meaningful that a local tie intervened by the environment, enforced self-governing, and shows how community sentiment plays an important role for local community organization. Moreover, the environmental movement contributed to developing a ‘culture for participation’. In conclusion, participating in a local environmental problem can be an integration of learning and practice and also leads to reflective thinking about the relationship not only between human beings and nature, but also among human beings. In addition, it can buildup a systemic cooperation for local problem-solving and the ability to make an alternative culture in the community. These are the significances of the local environmental problem-participation on the environmental education.

본 연구의 주요 내용은 한국과 싱가포르의 초, 중, 고 학생들이 지구 온난화 완화를 위한 행동들에 대해 어느 정도의 신념과 행동 의지를 가지고 있으며 그 둘 사이의 일관성 정도는 어떠한지 조사하는 것이다. 또 한 신념과 행동 의지 사이의 회귀 분석을 통해 교육에 의해 행동 의지를 개선할 수 있는 가능성이 높은 행동 이 무엇인지에 대해 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. Boyes et al.(2009)에 의해 개발된 설문을 이용하여 지구 온난화의 완화를 위한 행동 16가지에 대한 학생들의 신념과 행동 의지를 5단계 척도의 문항을 통해 조사하였다. 설문 대상은 한국과 싱가포르 6, 7, 8, 9, 10학년학생 2,389명이다(한국 1,446명, 싱가포르 943명). 연구 결과 행동 의지 면에서는 한국과 싱가포르에서 공통적으로 '가정에서 전기를 절약하는 것'에 대한 행동 의지가 가장 높은 반면 '원자력 발전에 의한 전기 사용'에 대한 행동 의지가 가장 낮았다. 또한 가정에서 혹은 사회적으로 공동으로 실천할 수 있는 행동에 대한 행동 의지가 다른 기타의 항목들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 경향이 있었다. 신념 면에서는 개인 승용차 보다는 대중 교통을 이용하는 것, 나무를 많이 심는 것, 재활용을 늘이는 것 등 이산화탄소의 배출을 줄이는 대표적인 행동은 지구 온난화 완화를 위한 행동으로 양국에서 모두 널리 인식되고 있었으나 육식을 줄이는 것(즉 메탄의 발생을 줄이는 것)이 지구온난화 완화를 위한 행동이라는 것은 양국 모두에서 가장 낮게 인식되었다. 전반적으로 싱가포르 학생들이 지구 온난화 완화를 위한 행동들에 대한 행동 의지가 한국보다 높았으며 보다 많은 항목들에 대해 높은 수준의 신념을 나타냈다. 신념과 행동 의지 사이의 일관성을 살펴보면 신념이 행동 의지보다 높은 문항이 많았는데 대표적인 것으로 한국의 경우 '교통 수단 이용과 관련된 것', '발전 방식과 관련된 것'이 차이가 많이 났으며 싱가포르의 경우 '발전 방식과 관련된 것'에서만 차이가 많았다. 이들 내용에 대해서는 강한 신념을 보인 학생 수가 강한 행동 의지를 보인 학생 수보다 전체의 30%이상 많았다. 개인별로 신념과 행동 의지 사이의 일관성 정도를 살펴보기 위해 행동 의지 점수에서 신념의 수를 뺀 값으로 개인의 반응 지수를 구하여 분석한 결과 한국이 -0.14, 싱가포르가 -0.05의 값을 나타냈다. (-)값은 신념에 비해 행동 의지가 낮은 것을 나타내며 싱가포르의 반응 지수가 한국에 비해 유의미하게 높았다. 즉 싱가포르 학생들이 신념과 행동의지가 좀 더 일관적이었다. 신념과 행동 의지 사이의 회귀 계수와 현재 낮은 행동 의지를 '원자력 발전에 의한 전기 사용'이었다. 이상과 같은 결과를 종합해 보면 지구 온난화 완화에 대한 행동 의지, 신념, 그리고 그 둘 사이의 연관성 정도는 특정 행동에 따라 그리고 국가에 따라 다른 양상으로 나타나지만 양국 사이에 많은 공통점이 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 전반적으로 볼 때 싱가포르 학생들이 지구 온난화에 대한 행동 의지와 신념이 높았고 이 둘 사이의 일관성도 좀 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Yongneup wetland protected area, the only high moor in Korea, is a core area to conserve biodiversity. Even though the Yongneup wetland protected area is relatively small, various plant species are distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area because it includes various habitats showing different environmental gradients. Vascular plants distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area were identified as a total of 376 taxa that is composed of 73 families, 217 genera, 322 species, 3 subspecies, 44 varieties and 7 forms. For endangered plants designated by the Ministry of Environment, 5 species including Trientalis europaea var. arctica, Lilium dauricum, Halenia corniculata, Lychnis wilfordii and Menyanthes trifoliata were found and 34 taxa were confirmed to be distributed only in the mountainous wetland habitats. Regarding naturalized plants, a total of 11 taxa were distributed, but most of them were distributed in the areas where artificial interference has occurred. And in areas inside the wetlands that are relatively well preserved, 2 species of Bidens frondosa and Erigeron annuus were observed. In this study, the occurrence and distribution of Pseudostellaria baekdusanensis M. Kim, which was recently found in Mt. Baekdu and reported as a new species, were identified in the Yongneup wetland protected area. A wetland is a very vulnerable area to drastic environmental changes and damages to its ecosystem could cause the extinction of rare plant species which are distributed only in the wetlands. Therefore, it is mandatory that current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area is evaluated and actions to prevent rapid environmental changes are taken. Fourteen separate investigations were conducted in 2013 and another four in 2014, to evaluate current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area. These investigations have provided us the basic information for future actions of conservation and restoration.

At present, the health risks associated with the natural radionuclides of ground water have become a concern as potential social problems. However, there are no regulatory actions or control strategies for such risks. Therefore, we have investigated and discussed the risks and associated management strategies for radionuclides in other countries. US EPA has proposed MCL (300 pCi/L) and AMCL (4,000 pCi/L) for radon, and 30 ppb for uranium, 15 pCi/L for gross-alpha and 5 pCi/L for radium as final MCLs. Also, Canada, WHO and European countries have their inherent management levels. Finally, we suggested several criteria for setting guidelines in our countries including exposure related criteria such as geological distribution, occurrence, exposure probability distribution, exposure population and multimedia exposure assessment, acceptable risk, and cost -benefit analysis. The national-scale exposure and risk assessment, and economic analysis should be conducted for producing and aggregating the representative information on these criteria.
