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.

Pollution emissions from international shipping and port activities have a significant impact on public health and global climate changes. The purpose of this paper is to review the status of pollution mitigation measures implemented to date in port industry and find out some implications for Korean ports. For this aim, the clean air strategies of the world major ports including six USA ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach, Now York/New Jersey, and Seattle and Tacoma), two European ports (Rotterdam and Gothenburg) and Busan Port were considered. Various measures to reduce emission from ports are evaluated by sectors-ocean going vessels, cargo handling equipments, truck and rail-, on the basis of categories such as reduction control technologies, operational changes and market-based measures. The policy implications of this paper are as follows. First, Clean Air Act Plans of Korean ports are required as soon as possible. Second, integrated approach is required to reduce emission effectively. Finally, the effect of port-related emission reduction can be maximized when various measures are conducted on a regional basis including neighboring ports. Furthermore, regional or global-based approach is useful to guarantee the level playing field among ports.

The purpose of this study was to survey primary students' perception of the global and local environmental issues. The subjects were 853 fifth primary students in Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Anyang, Gimpo and Cheongju. The results were as follows: First, the perception level of the global environmental issues were global warming (M=3.99), drinking-water pollution (M=3.92), acid rain (M=3.77), yellow dust (M=3.66), ozone depletion (M=3.57), deforestation in tropical areas (M=3.52), desertification (M=3.36), biodiversity (M=3.40) and their perception level of local environmental issues were waste disposal (M=3.87), air pollution (M=3.74), bad smell (M=3.70), noise (M=3.61), river pollution (M=3.57), soil pollution (M=3.44). Second, it was shown that the metropolitan students' perception levels of environmental issues were higher than the non-metropolitan students'. There wasn't a significant difference in the perception levels of two scale environmental issues and characteristics for sex (p>.05). Third, the result of analyzing on the effects between characteristics was that the factors like 'environmental interest' and 'impact on personal life' had a strong influence on the 'behavior will' to solve the global environmental issues, and 'environmental interest' and 'personal knowledge' had a strong influence on the 'behavior will' to solve the local environmental issues. Fourth, the result of analyzing on the characteristics according to the types of the environmental issues showed that 'personal knowledge', 'environmental interest' and 'behavior will' were high in the global environmental issues (p<.01) and 'virtual contamination', 'human responsibility' and 'impact on personal life' were high in the local environmental issues (p<.05).

국제가치사슬(Global value chain, GVC)구조가 심화되면서 중간재 무역의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이러한 배경하에 글로벌 아웃소싱의 확대가 환경에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 논의들이 최근까지 이어져왔다. 본 연구에서는 2004년부터 2014년까지 10개년 간 21개 제조업 부문을 대상으로 글로벌 아웃소싱이 환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 환경변수는 업종별 이산화탄소집약도를 사용하였고 글로벌 아웃소싱은 Feenstra and Hanson(1999)과 Amiti and Wei(2006)가 제안한 글로벌 아웃소싱 계측방법을 사용하였다. 글로벌 아웃소싱의 효과를 분석하기 위해 환경변화를 결정하는 요인들을 Copeland and Taylor(1994)의 이론을 기반으로 통제하였고 내생성 문제를 해결하기 위해 시스템 GMM 방법을 이용하였다. 분석결과 전체산업을 대상으로 분석했을 때 글로벌 아웃소싱의 확대가 환경에 미치는 영향을 식별할 수 없었다. 오염집약산업만을 대상으로 분석한 결과도 동일하게 나타났다. 그러나 중국과 아시아 개도국의 아웃소싱에 대해 분석한 결과는 글로벌 아웃소싱의 확대가 국내 오염수준 저감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Air quality issues in Korea rapidly changed at the beginning of the 1990s from primary to secondary pollutants starting in Seoul, the capital of Korea. The present frame of national air pollution monitoring networks was established between the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. Background monitoring was initiated in the middle of the 1990s in response to increasing public concern about the long-range transport of air pollutants. Apart from the national monitoring, both routine and intensive measurements of fine particles have been made for research purposes since the middle of the 1990s at several background sites. However, air pollution monitoring in urban areas for other purposes was relatively scarce as national monitoring has been concentrated in these areas. Although ozone pollution has become a significant issue in major metropolitan areas every summer, only a little information on ozone precursors is available. During the past few years, the number of national monitoring stations has greatly increased. The government has a plan to gradually expand monitoring items as well as stations. It is anticipated that highly detailed information on both photochemical reactants and products will be available within the next several years. More emphasis will be placed on toxic substances based on risk assessment in monitoring for both research and policy making.

As economy and population have been growing, air pollution problems both in local and regional scale came to the surface in East Asia in last decades. In addition to urban problems, regional air pollution is also becoming a big issue international concern. Urban and regional air pollution issues are closely related and we have to tackle the problem by understanding underlying scientific reality and taking a strategic approach to mitigation. (omitted)

이 연구는 대기오염과 미세먼지의 각 성분이 질환에 미치는 영향에 대한 데이터만 존재한다면 어떠한 질환이든 위험도 예측 결과를 알 수 있는 것에 의미가 있다. 또한 기존의 대기정보에 따른 정보를 예상하는데 필요한 데이터 종류와 수가 많았으며 계산의 복잡성이 높았고 정보의 제공 범위가 넓었다. 하지만 이 연구는 과거 대기 데이터와 딥러닝을 통해서 낮은 비용으로 더욱 자세하게 유해질환 위험도를 예측하는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 연구에서 구축한 시스템은 예측 결과 88.9%의 정확도를 보였다. 이 시스템은 입력되는 데이터의 정보에 따라 세분화된 지역의 대기환경 정보 또한 파악 가능하며 그 과정이 매우 간편하고 유용하다. 이 시스템은 공기질 예측을 위해 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.

Air pollution is a global challenge that not only threatens public health, but also takes away lives. Strategic communication, in other words, public relations, is an essential way of tackling air pollution and managing the risks involved. Engaging global citizens into the public sphere requires the building of a sense of collectivity and duty on achieving clean air. Strategies and policies on an international scale that are based on the theoretical framework (Behavior Procedure Model) and focus on leading citizens into the mature and unified Collectivity during the observance of the 'International Day of Clean Air for blue skies' are crucial. Notably, the Asian continent has inevitably found itself at the crossroad between economic growth and environmental protection, and has even been observed to be pursuing a passive response to air pollution. The key communication strategies are supported by the three goals, which include: expanding existing communities and building a new Collectivity, supporting international solidarity and individual member state activities, and implementing systems and structures. The key goals can be further specified into six strategies. This paper has analyzed global problems and discussed possible communication strategies to increase public engagement for the observation of the 'International Day of Clean Air for blue skies.' It will be the responsibility of all nations to implement the aforementioned strategies and policies as well as promoting global action.
