In this work, risks in EPC project for overseas power plant projects are analyzed and risk management methods are suggested to reduce cost and to shorten time. 79% of risks occurred in the engineering phase for S project located in South-East Asia. The impact scales of risks on major project objectives which are cost, time, scope, and quality are analyzed as 3.5, 3.8, 2.7, and 3.7, respectively. The level of impact scales is very similar to each other except the impact scale of scope. The risk management methods suggested in this study have to be applied at the appropriate time to manage risks effectively. After that, risks are managed continuously by monitoring.

Environmental specimen bank (ESB) is a new tool to assess ecosystem in environmental impact assessment (EIA). ESB looks at changes in the concentration of pollutants in human and environmental specimens over long periods of time through retrospective analysis of archived samples. Korea started to design its National Environmental Specimen Bank (NESB) in 2007 and planned to launch an operational pilot project by 2010. NESB prepares five Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of shoots of Red and Korean pine, leaves of Mongolian oak, Pigeon's egg, and Common carp's muscle out of 14 planned specimens in 2009. ESB contributes to monitoring the effectiveness of EIA projects and policies by providing a time capsule through ecosystem assessment of representative species. This study reviews ecosystem assessment in EIA and the ESB establishment in Korea and probes NESB applications in ecosystem assessment.

In this study, the information from environmental impact statements was converted into spatial data because environmental data from development sites are collected during the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. Spatiotemporal big data were built from environmental spatial data for each environmental medium for 2,235 development sites during 2007-2018, available from public data portals. Comparing air-quality monitoring stations, 33,863 measurement points were constructed, which is approximately 75 times more measurement points than that 452 in Air Korea's real-time measurement network. Here, spatiotemporal big data from 2,677,260 EIAs were constructed. In the future, such data might be used not only for EIAs but also for various spatial plans.

국내의 미세먼지 문제가 심각해짐에 따라 개인이 활동하는 주변공간의 미세먼지 농도를 알고자 하는 욕구 또한 증가하여 직접 미세먼지의 실시간 농도를 측정할 수 있는 휴대용 미세먼지측정센서에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 시중에 판매되는 미세먼지 간이측정기는 정해진 인증기준 없이 제작 판매되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 판매가 급증하고 있는 휴대용 미세먼지 측정센서의 농도값을 어느 정도 신뢰할 수 있는지와 이러한 센서들이 어떠한 경우에 활용될 수 있는 지에 대해 일반적인 시민의 입장에서 고찰할 필요가 있다고 판단하였다. 이를 위해, 1) 기기 간 상호비교 및 보다 정확한 장비와의 비교를 수행하고, 2) 휴대용 기기를 활용하여 미세먼지의 영향을 저감할 수 있는 방안들에 대한 검증실험을 수행해 보았다. 그 결과 휴대용센서들의 농도 절대값을 그대로 신뢰하기엔 문제가 있었지만, 그 재현성과 선형성은 실생활에서 활용되기에 유용하다고 판단되었다. 또한 휴대용 미세먼지 측정센서를 사용함으로써 사용자들은 자기 주변의 변화하는 미세먼지 농도에 대해 빠르게 인지하고 대처 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되어, 미세먼지 오염의 피해를 줄이는 데 활용할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Climate change has caused changes in environmental factors that have a direct impact on agriculture such as temperature and precipitation. The meteorological disaster that has the greatest impact on agriculture is drought, and its forecasts are closely related to agricultural production and water supply. In the case of terrestrial data, the accuracy of the spatial map obtained by interpolating the each point data is lowered because it is based on the point observation. Therefore, acquisition of various meteorological data through satellite imagery can complement this terrestrial based drought monitoring. In this study, Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) was used as satellite data for drought determination. The ESI was developed by NASA and USDA, and is calculated through thermal observations of GOES satellites, MODIS, Landsat 5, 7 and 8. We will identify the difference between ESI and other satellite-based drought assessment indices (Vegetation Health Index, VHI, Leaf Area Index, LAI, Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI), and use it to analyze the drought in South Korea, and examines the applicability of ESI as a new indicator of agricultural drought monitoring.

This study investigates the impact of the country's governance on the revenue efficiency in the banking sectors of 42 Islamic banks in 15 countries offering Islamic banking and financial services. Technical efficiencies of individual Islamic banks were analyzed using the Data Envelopment Analysis method. The Ordinary Least Square estimation method is employed to examine the impact of country supervision and regulation on the technical efficiency of Islamic banks. With robustness check, the study assesses the impact of bank regulations and supervision on the efficiency of Islamic banks operating in different regions. The empirical findings suggest that supervisory power, activity restrictions, and private monitoring positively influence the efficiency of Islamic banks. On the other hand, we observe a negative impact of capital requirement on Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. The findings indicate that supervisory power, activity restrictions, and private monitoring positively influence the efficiency of Islamic banks in Asia, but vice versa on capital requirement in MENA countries. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge by assessing the types of reforms in bank regulations and supervision that work best for Islamic banks in order to increase the level of efficiency and the level of regulations and supervision of Islamic banks.

압전 페인트 센서는 압전 세라믹의 주성분인 압전 파우더와 에폭시의 결합으로 이루어진 페인트형 센서이다. 이 센서는 일반 페인트와 같이 구조물에 도포되기 때문에 다른 어느 센서보다 구조물에 부착이 용이하다. 본 연구에서는 압전 페인트센서가 도포된 구조물의 충격 감지 정도를 판단하고자 하였다. 특히, 철도차량을 대상으로 연구를 진행하고자 하였다. 철도차량 운용 중에 발생하는 자갈 비산으로 인해 발생하는 충격손상이 많이 보고되고 있고, 이러한 충격손상을 방지하고자 차량 하부구조물 전체 표면에 발생하는 충격신호를 실시간으로 감지할 필요가 있다. 철도차량이 운행되는 환경을 고려하여 압전 페인트시편을 $-20{\sim}60^{\circ}C$의 열사이클 환경에 노출시켜 센서의 감도 변화를 측정하였다. 알루미늄 시편에 압전 페인트센서를 도포하여 감도 측정을 수행한 결과, 열사이클 환경 전후에 감도 차이가 크지 않음을 확인하였고 이를 통해 환경 노출 후에도 압전 페인트센서로 충격 감지가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Lake Texoma is located on the border of southern Oklahoma and northern Texas. It has 93,000 surface acres, and is a focus of the recreation, and farming industries in the region. There are potential stressors around the Lake Texoma watershed that may cause adverse ecological effects in the lake. System assimilative capacity (SAC) is the ability of abiotic and biotic processes to atteuniate the stressors. SAC Exceeded indicates potential of occuring adverse eco-effects. A number of representative chemical release sites and stressor sources in the surrounding watershed were characterized, and several impact sites having stressors sources, such as being near agriculture, landfills, housing areas, oil production fields and heavy use recreational activity, were selected for surface water, sediment, and groundwater monitoring. A paired reference site, having similar physical characteristics as its impact site, was also chosen based on its proximity to the impact site. Lake water samples were collected at locations identified as marina entrance, gasoline filling station, and boat dock at five marinas selected on Lake Texoma from September 1999 to December 2001. Paired water and sediment samples were also collected. Groundwater samples were collected at about 70 producing monitoring wells. Water quality parameters measured were inorganics (nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate, ammonia, sulfate, and chloride), dissolved methane, total organic carbon (TOC) (or DOC), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and BTEX, and a suite of metals. Biotic communities were evaluated at impact and reference sites. Five basic components were measured; two terrestirial components (plants and bird comminitires) and three aquatic components (benthic inverbrates, litteral-zone fishes, ecosystem attribures). Potential impacts to these comminites were evaluated.

Brominated flame retardants have the market share of 40%, comparing others because of their low cost and highly effective retardation against the flame. However, their toxic effects in human and properties of the accumulation in the environments have been issued among the international organization such as EU, OECD and etc. It, therefore, was surveyed the classification, toxic effects, and the usage of Brominated flame retardants, the trends for their managements in the world and Korea, and their contaminated levels in Korean Peninsula. In addition, the management directions for them were proposed. Penta, octa, and deca-BDE among brominated retardants will seem to be prohibited by the regulation as a flame retardants for plastics in Europe because of their toxic effects. Although Penta and Octa BDEs was used marginally in Korea, deca-BDE was 27% of brominated flame retardants (49,050 ton) which had been used in 2002. However, risk assessment for brominated retardants might not launched in Korea, yet. These reports demonstrate that toxic brominated retardants such as PBDEs will be assessed for their usage and the level of contamination in the environment in the area of the point sources like the industrial areas, incinerators and etc. However, the law to regulate the hazardous chemicals seems not to be dictated the monitoring of their contamination in the environment. We, therefore, suggest how to evaluate and to monitor the toxic contaminants with EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) system. Further, to establish the management system of BFRs (such as the monitering of contamination levels in environments, life cycle assessment, and risk assessment for the toxic chemicals), It can be recommended the law to deal with the method analyzing chemicals will be established, which contains QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control) to evaluate the analytic capability of the companies to prepare EIS (Environment Impact Statement) or other institutes for analyzing chemicals.
