The purpose of this study was to investigate middle school students' perceptions about global environmental problems using drawings. The study was involved the collection of drawing data from 112 ninth grade students from a middle school in Daegu Metropolitan City. The environment task was administrated to students drew a drawing of an global environmental problems and explained their drawing in their own words. Also, students was asked to write what he or she can do to solve global environmental problems. The results are as follows: First, air pollution is the most important global environmental problem, followed by water pollution, global warming, sea level rise, deforestation, waste, loss of biodiversity, and so on. Second, the students' drawings were characterized into two aspects: One is a macroscopic viewpoint and the other is everyday viewpoint. Third, the students' practical action plan to do solve global environmental problems were walk, public traffic, do not throw trash, plant trees, etc. Educators should take into account the perceptions of global environmental problems and teaching-learning strategies to enhance students' understanding of global environment.

Many types of disasters are related to environmental problems. Today, frequently occurring disasters and global environmental problems have begun to threaten human life and welfare. Consequently, building sustainable communities requires assessing relationships between environmental problems and disasters using a broad, open approach and with a long-term perspective. This paper attempts to identify the need for conceptualizing disasters and environmental problems together by comparing mechanisms of both disasters and environmental problems, and attempts to integrate both of these seemingly different types of phenomena as similar types of risk threatening human existence. Based on this work, a chart is proposed for qualitatively organizing disasters, environmental problems and their mutual influences, as well as providing a framework for potential quantitative analysis. It is hoped this research serves to contribute to effective mitigation to both disasters and environmental problems in today's age of global environmental issues.

The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary school students' awareness about socio-scientific issues and solutions about environmental topics by using their drawings. For this study, 489 students were participated in 3 provincial regions, Incheon, Dangjin and Pohang in Korea. The students participated in a drawing activity to express their ideas of the socio-scientific issues and solutions related to 'environmental problems.' The analysis of the data include that the students displayed most awareness towards air pollution, water pollution and trash problems. However, the global environmental problems such as global warming and climate change were perceived very low. The interesting thing was about 8% of the students, who drew global environmental problems, tried to explain their drawings using scientific knowledge. But they revealed misconceptions as well. For instance, they were not good at connecting their science knowledge with environmental problems. About 80% of the students drew the pictures, showing solutions in personal context. They mainly drew 3 kinds of solutions: 'Reduce trash', 'Preserve ecosystem' and 'Saving of resources & energy'. Most students suggested to administrate the action plans. About 19% of the students drew 'campaign to save the forest' or 'develop alternative energy' in social context. And only 1 student drew UN conference to solve the environmental problems in national context.

Today, environmental pollution and destruction due to the industrialization of our modem society have been the global issues. Although now we can lead affluent lives through science technologies and economic development, these environmental problems have resulted in striking the harmonious balance between human beings and nature and threatened human lives with abnormal weather caused by the global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, and El Nino phenomenon, acid rain, decrease in species diversity, movement of hazardous materials, and harmful waste increase. We are aware of the importance of environmental education, but in reality, it seems impossible to implement appropriate environmental education on account of our educational climate which exclusively focuses on the entrance examination. However, environmental education is the most ultimate solution for those problems in that only when students understand our environment fully and grow habits to protect it through environmental education, the present environmental problems can be solved and more serious problems that can be resulted in the future can possibly be prevented. Thus, this study has examined the effect of using image media in the environment subject on students' environmental sensitivity. According to the results, it was shown that it had positive effects on 'sensitivity of environment', 'attitudes towards environment', and 'environmental affinitive behaviors'.

There is a question, 'Which is beautiful, a flower or a star?'. Its answer is different from one person .to another. It is only a matter of what one is interested in. It is very difficult for most school pupils, who will have non-scientific jobs, to understand science courses taught currently in school, because each science (physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science) is independently taught from the other sciences. Therefore, their knowledge of sciences obtained during their school period does not significantly help their understanding of global environmental problems. I am proposing that several scientific stories should be prepared to connect all the related scientific phenomena in order to give those pupils ideas in understanding global environmental problems. I believe that astronomy is able to play an important role in this context.

연구는 지구적 환경문제의 하나인 산성비가 지리교과서에서 어떻게 다루어지고 있는지를 검토한 것이다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 산성비의 기준 및 개념과 관련하여 우리나라 지리교과서는 영국 지리교과서와 달리 명확한 설명을 제시하고 있지 않다. 둘째, 산성비의 원인에 있어서 영국 지리교과서는 자연적 요인과 인위적 요인을 균형있게 다루고 있는 반면, 우리나라 지리교과서는 인위적인 요인만을 다루고 있다. 이러한 접근방식이 가지는 문제점은 학생들에게 산성비에 대한 오개념을 심어 줄 가능성이 있다는 것이다. 셋째, 산성비의 결과와 대책에 있어서는 우리나라와 영국 지리교과서 모두 다양한 사례를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 지리교과서의 경우 산성비의 결과와 대책을 대체로 나열하는데 할애하는 반면에, 영국 지리교과서에서는 결과와 대책을 유형별로 구체적인 사례와 함께 매우 자세하게 다루고 있는 것이 차이점이라고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 분석의 결과를 통해 볼 때, 지리교과서에서 산성비, 지구온난화 등 지구적 환경문제를 다룰 때에는 정확한 개념에 대한 진술에서 시작하여, 그러한 문제가 발생하는 원인 및 프로세스를 다양한 관점에서 접근하되 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 구조화하여 제시할 필요가 있다. 또한 지구적 환경문제로 인해 나타나는 결과와 이에 대한 대책은 정보를 나열하는 방식에서 벗어나, 구체적인 사례별로 학생들이 이해하고 공감할 수 있도록 제시할 필요가 있다. 지구적 환경문제의 접근에 있어서 개념 및 원인에 대한 정확한 이해가 선행되지 않는다면, 결과와 대책에만 초점을 두어 도덕적이고 윤리적인 측면만을 과도하게 강조할 가능성이 높다.

Environmental problems like global warming have now become important issues that should be considered in all industries, including construction. In South Korea, many studies have been conducted to achieve the government's goals of reduction in environmental impacts. However, the research on buildings has only focused on CO₂ emission as a research target despite the fact that other environmental impacts resulting from ozone depletion and acidification should also be considered, in addition to global warming. In this regard, this study attempted to propose assessment criteria and methods to evaluate the environmental performance of the structures from various aspects. The environmental impact category can be divided into global impacts, regional impacts, and local impacts. First, global impacts include global warming, ozone layer depletion, and abiotic resource depletion, while regional impacts include acidification, eutrophication, and photochemical oxidation. In addition, noise and vibration occurring in the building construction phase are defined as local impacts. The evaluation methods on the eight environmental impacts will be proposed after analyzing existing studies, and the methods representing each environmental load as monetary value will be presented. The methods presented in this study will present benefits that can be obtained through green buildings with a clear quantitative assessment on structures. Ultimately, it is expected that if the effects of green buildings are clearly presented through the findings of this study, the greening of structures will be actively expanded.
