  • In former times the protection of our environment didn't play an important role due to the fact that emissions and effluents were not considered as serious impacts. However, opinions and scientific measurements meanwhile confirmed that the impacts are more serious than expected. Thus measures to protect our earth has to be taken into consideration. A part of these measures in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). One of the most important parts of the EIA is the collection of basic datas and the following evaluation. Experience out of the daily business of Gerling Consulting Group shows that the content of the EIA has to be revised and enlarged in certain fields. The historical development demonstrated that in areas in which the population and the industrial activities reached high concentration there is a high necessity to develop strict environmental laws and regulations. Maximum values of the concentration of hazardous materials were fixed concerning the emission into and water. Companies not following these regulations were punished. The total amount of environmental offences increased rapidly during the last decade, at least in Germany. During this development the public consciousness concerning environmental affairs increased as well in the industrialized countries. But it could clearly be seen that the development in the field of environmental protection went into the wrong direction. The technologies to protect the environment became more and more sophisticated and terms as: "state of the art" guided more and more to lower emissions, Filtertechnologies and wastewater treatment for example reached a high technical level-but all these sophisticated technologies has one and the same characteristic: they were end-of-the pipe solutions. A second effect was that this kind of environmental protection costs a lot of money. High investments are necessary to reduce the dust emission by another ppm! Could this be the correct way? In Germany the discussion started that the environmental laws reduce the attractivity to invest or to enlarge existing investments within the country. Other countries seem to be not so strict with controlling the environmental laws which means it's simply cheaper to produce in Portugal or Greece. Everybody however knows that this is not the correct way and does not solve the environmental problems. Meanwhile the general picture changes a little bit and we think it changes into the correct direction "End-of-the-pipe" solutions are still necessary but this word received a real negative touch and nobody wants to be brought into connection with this word received a real negative touch and nobody wants to be brought into connection with this word especially in connection with environmental management and safety. Modern actual environmental management starts in a different way. Thoughts about emissions start in the very beginning of the production, they start with the design of the product and modification of traditional modes of production. Basis of these ideas are detailed analyses of products and processes. Due to the above mentioned facts that the public environmental consciousness changed dramatically a continous environmental improvement of each single production plant has to be guarantied. This question is already an important question of the EIA. But it was never really checked in a wholistic approach. Environmental risks have to be taken into considerations during the execution of an EIA. This means that the environmental risks have to be reduced down to a capable risk-level. Environmental risks have to be considered within the phase of planning, during the operation of a plant and after shut down. The experience shows that most of the environmental relevant accidents were and caused by human fault. Even in highly protected plants the human risk-factor can not be excluded during evaluation of the risk-potential. Thus the approach of an EIA has to regard technical evaluations as well as organizational thoughts and the human factor. An environmental risk is a threat to the environment. An analysis of the risk concerning the organizational and human aspect however never was properly executed during an EIA. A possible solution could be to use an instrument as the actual EMAS (Environmental Management System) of the EC for more accurate evaluation of the impact to the environment during an EIA. Organizations or investors could demonstrate by an approved EMAS or even by showing their installment of EMAS that not only the technical level of the planned investment meets the requested standards but as well the actual or planned management is able to reduce the environmental impact down to a bearable level.

  • Withe increased North Korea's security threats, the South Korean navy has been faced with deteriorating security environment. While North Korea has increased asymmetric forces in the maritime and underwater with the development of nuclear weapons, and China and Japan have made a large investment in the buildup of naval forces, the power of the Pacific fleet of the US, a key ally is expected to be weakened. The biggest threat comes from China's intervention in case of full-scale war with North Korea, but low-density conflict issues are also serious problems. North Korea has violated the Armistice Agreement 2,660 times since the end of Korean War, among which the number of marine provocations reaches 1,430 times, and the tension over the NLL issue has been intensifying. With tension mounting between Korea and Japan over the Dokdo issue and conflict escalating with China over Ieo do Islet, the US Navy has confronted situation where it cannot fully concentrate on the security of the Korean peninsula, which leads to need for strengthening of South Korea's naval forces. Let's look at naval forces of neighboring countries. North Korea is threatening South Korean navy with its increased asymmetric forces, including submarines. China has achieved the remarkable development of naval forces since the promotion of 3-step plan to strengthen naval power from 1989, and it now retains highly modernized naval forces. Japan makes an investment in the construction of stat of the art warship every year. Since Japan's warship boasts of its advanced performance, Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force is evaluated the second most powerful behind the US Navy on the assumption that submarine power is not included in the naval forces. In this situation, naval power construction of South Korean navy should be done in phases, focusing on the followings; First, military strength to repel the energy warship quickly without any damage in case of battle with North Korea needs to be secured. Second, it is necessary to develop abilities to discourage the use of nuclear weapons of North Korea and attack its nuclear facilities in case of emergency. Third, construction of military power to suppress armed provocations from China and Japan is required. Based on the above naval power construction methods, the direction of power construction is suggested as follows. The sea fleet needs to build up its war potential to defeat the naval forces of North Korea quickly and participate in anti-submarine operations in response to North Korea's provocations. The task fleet should be composed of 3 task flotilla and retain the power to support the sea fleet and suppress the occurrence of maritime disputes with neighboring countries. In addition, it is necessary to expand submarine power, a high value power asset in preparation for establishment of submarine headquarters in 2015, develop anti-submarine helicopter and load SLAM-ER missile onto P-3C patrol aircraft. In case of maine corps, division class military force should be able to conduct landing operations. It takes more than 10 years to construct a new warship. Accordingly, it is necessary to establish plans for naval power construction carefully in consideration of reality and future. For the naval forces to safeguard maritime sovereignty and contribute to national security, the acquisition of a huge budget and buildup of military power is required. In this regard, enhancement of naval power can be achieved only through national, political and military understanding and agreement. It is necessary to let the nation know that modern naval forces with improved weapon system can serve as comprehensive armed forces to secure the command of the sea, perform defense of territory and territorial sky and attack the enemy's strategic facilities and budget inputted in the naval forces is the essential source for early end of the war and minimization of damage to the people. If the naval power construction is not realized, we can be faced with a national disgrace of usurpation of national sovereignty of 100 years ago. Accordingly, the strengthening of naval forces must be realized.

  • 본 연구는 중국의 대학교와 연변대학교의 최근의 개혁동향에 대해 살펴보았다. 중국의 근대 대학교 교육은 발전 역사가 짧지만 상이한 시대배경 속에서 부동한 발전과정을 겪어왔다. 특히 50년대 이후 사회주의 시장경제체제를 본격적으로 실시하면서 대학교 교육은 급격한 변화를 가져왔다. 주요한 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중앙과 지방정부에서 고도로 집중적인 관리를 하던 체제로부터 대차교의 자율성을 발휘시키기 위한 운영자주권을 대폭 확대하였다. 그리하여 대학교는 자체의 능력에 따라 다양한 방식으로 학교를 운영할 수 있는 적극성을 고양시켰다. 둘째, 시장경제체제에 적응하기 위한 노력이 돋보인다. 여기에는 대학교 자금조달, 학교 운영형식, 대학생의 입학과 졸업 등 다양한 측면에서 반영되었다. 셋째, 대학교 교수들 사이에 경쟁체제를 도입하여 교수들의 적극성을 최대한으로 고양시켰다. 넷째, 대학교마다 치열한 경쟁 속에서 살아남기 위하여 차별화전략을 실시하였다. 전반적으로 중국의 대학교 교육은 최근에 들어와서 급속한 발전을 가져왔다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 아직도 중앙과 지방정부의 대학교에 대한 간섭이 여전히 존재하고, 대학교의 규모만 추구하고 질을 홀시하는 경향이 존재하며, 대학교에 대한 투자가 적고 자금지원에 있어 법적인 보호가 부족하며, 대학교 내부의 민주화 관리가 부족한 등의 문제점들이 남아 있다. 이와 같은 문제점들은 앞으로 개혁과정에서 지속적으로 풀어 나아가야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study analyzed the key words in Korea's leading apartment brands and newspaper advertisements to examine especially their view-oriented advertising characteristics and green marketing properties. Four study topics were established and examined for this purpose. The following are the results; 1. The key words on apartment brands and catch phrases are $\ulcorner$emotion-oriented$\lrcorner$ words, such as taste, pride, and happiness, and $\ulcorner$environment-oriented$\lrcorner$ to appeal to customers with beautiful views of the nature. Also key words on newspaper advertisement headlines stress views for $\ulcorner$environment-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics as well as $\ulcorner$emotion-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics for elegance and luxury, and $\ulcorner$function-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics for the future. Views, nature and park are key words and everything about illustration that are especially emphasized even on the headlines of newspaper advertisements. 2. Unlike brands or headlines, sub-headlines and body copies stress $\ulcorner$modern-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics for life, culture, and accessibility, followed by $\ulcorner$emotion-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics. Key words on caption were also highly $\ulcorner$modern-oriented$\lrcorner$, followed by $\ulcorner$environment-oriented$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$function-oriented$\lrcorner$ characteristics for practical aspects. 3. In result of $X^2-test$, $\ulcorner$environment-oriented$\lrcorner$ key words that convey good views, naturalism, parks, and nature are the major representation of green marketing strategies of apartment brands and newspaper advertisements. However, brands were strongly $\ulcorner$emotion-oriented$\lrcorner$, whereas captions were $\ulcorner$modern-oriented$\lrcorner$ and body copies were $\ulcorner$investment-oriented$\lrcorner$. Both apartment brands and advertisements were consistently $\ulcorner$environment-oriented$\lrcorner$, but were not consistent in other factors. 4. Different parts of newspaper advertisements are focusing on green marketing strategies in terms of environmental protection, but are actually leaning toward modern-oriented lifestyles and accessibility. Thus, it is more well-being marketing rather than green marketing. To pursue true green marketing despite the limits of newspaper advertisements, it is necessary to present products and pricing strategies that represent sustainable.

  • The Equator Principles are a set of voluntary environmental and social guidelines for ethical project finance. These principles commit banks and other signatories to not finance projects that fail to meet these guidelines. The principles were conceived in 2002 on an initiative of the International Finance Corporation and launched in 2003. Since then, dozens of major banks have adopted the Principles, and with these banks among them accounting for more than three quarters of all project loan market volume the Principles have become the de facto standard for all banks and investors on how to deal with potential social and environmental effects of projects to be financed. While regarding the Principles an important initiative, NGOs have criticised the Principles for not producing real changes in financing activities and for allowing projects to go through that should have been screened out by the Principles, such as the Sakhalin-II oil and gas project in Russia. In early 2006, a process of revision of the principles was begun. The Equator Principles state that endorsing banks will only provide loans directly to projects under the following circumstances: - The risk of the project is categorized in accordance with internal guidelines based upon the environmental and social screening criteria of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). - For all medium or high risk projects (Category A and B projects), sponsors complete an Environmental Assessment, the preparation of which must meet certain requirements and satisfactorily address key environmental and social issues. - The Environmental Assessment report addresses baseline environmental and social conditions, requirements under host country laws and regulations, applicable international treaties and agreements, sustainable development and use of renewable natural resources, protection of human health, cultural properties, and biodiversity, including endangered species and sensitive ecosystems, use of dangerous substances, major hazards, occupational health and safety, fire prevention and life safety, socio-economic impacts, land acquisition and land use, involuntary resettlement, impacts on indigenous peoples and communities, cumulative impacts of existing projects, the proposed project, and anticipated future projects, participation of affected parties in the design, review and implementation of the project, consideration of feasible environmentally and socially preferable alternatives, efficient production, delivery and use of energy, pollution prevention and waste minimization, pollution controls (liquid effluents and air emissions) and solid and chemical waste management. - Based on the Environmental Assessment, Equator banks then make agreements with their clients on how they mitigate, monitor and manage those risks through an 'Environmental Management Plan'. Compliance with the plan is required in the covenant. If the borrower doesn't comply with the agreed terms, the bank will take corrective action, which if unsuccessful, could ultimately result in the bank canceling the loan and demanding immediate repayment. - For risky projects, the borrower consults with stakeholders (NGO's and project affected groups) and provides them with information on the risks of the project. - If necessary, an expert is consulted. The Principles only apply to projects over 50 million US dollars, which, according to the Equator Principles website, represent 97% of the total market. In early 2006, the financial institutions behind the Principles launched stakeholder consultations and negotiations aimed at revising the principles. The draft revised principles were met with criticism from NGO stakeholders, who in a joint position paper argued that the draft fails by ignoring the most serious critiques of the principles: a lack of consistent and rigorous implementation.

  • 영국 FSMA 체계에서는 일반적 금지조항이 있음에도 불구하고, 변호사, 회계사 및 보험계리사 등 전문직 종사자들의 금융서비스 제공에 대한 면책조항을 제공하여 전문직종사자들이 적용면제규제대상업무를 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 특히 영국 재무부가 지정하는 전문직협회를 DPBs라고 칭하고 있으며, DPBs(designated professional bodies)는 반드시 규칙(rule)을 보유하여 해당 회원들의 적용면제규제대상업무를 감독하고 규제하는 역할을 수행한다. 또한 FSA는 DPBs의 역할에 대한 정보를 보지(保持)하고 있어야 하며, 다른 부류의 업자 또는 다른 종류의 규제대상업무와 형평성을 고려해서 전문직종사자의 면책조항에 대한 지침을 마련해야 할 의무도 있다. 한편, "자본시장법"에서는 국내 전문직종사자의 금융서비스 제공을 본연의 업무나 부수적 업무에 상관없이 투자자문업에서 명시적으로 적용을 제외시키고 있다. 영국 FSMA 체계에서는 전문직종사자의 금융서비스 제공이 본연의 업무로서 수행되려면 반드시 인가업자와 같이 인가를 받아야 하며, 부수적으로 행하더라도 일반적 금지에서의 적용면제 조항을 준수하도록 하고 있다. 따라서 투자자보호를 위해 입법론적으로 국내 전문직종사자의 금융서비스 제공에 관한 법적 제도를 마련할 필요성이 있다.

  • 해외 선진국은 연구장비의 중요성을 인식하고 연구장비 산업 활성화를 위해 많은 정책적 지원을 하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라는 연구장비산업 활성화를 위한 정책이나 관련 사업을 지원할 수 있는 법률이 없다. 따라서 연구장비산업 활성화를 위한 정책과 사업을 지원하기 위한 입법이 시급하다. 연구장비산업의 글로벌 시장에서 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있도록 별도의 연구장비산업 활성화 특별법을 제정할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 본 바와 같이 연구장비 산업 육성을 위한 다양한 진흥정책이 개발될 수 있도록 관련 법률에 필요한 사항을 명시해야 한다. 연구장비 산업발전을 촉진하기 위해서는 법에 명시해야 할 필수항목이 세 가지다. 첫째는 연구개발 지원, 둘째는 인프라 개발, 셋째는 비즈니스 육성이다. 각 내용에는 다음과 같은 내용이 포함되어야 한다. 우선 '연구개발 지원'에는 연구개발사업 추진 및 지원 정책항목, 연구장비 개발동향 및 투자동향, 산학관 공동연구, 융·복합·사업화를 위한 연구개발 지원 등이 포함된다. 다음으로 '인프라 개발' 포함될 항목에는 연구장비 클러스터 구축, 관련 지원항목, 전문인력 양성, 연구장비개발기반지역 및 기관 등이 포함되어야 한다. 마지막으로 '사업 육성'에 포함되어야 할 항목은 우수기업 육성 지원사항(우선구매제도 등), 기술이전 및 마케팅 관련 사항, 지식재산 보호에 관한 사항, 해외진출 촉진에 관한 사항 등이다.

  • 지금까지의 선행연구의 결과를 토대로 필자들은 한중일 3국의 협력적 물류 비즈니스 모델에 대한 보완과 새로운 제안을 시도하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 특정 산업의 물류네트워크에 초점을 두었고, 지금까지 다루어진 바가 거의 없는 가구산업에서 새로운 한중일 협력적 물류 비즈니스 모델을 발굴하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 가구산업은 한중일 3국에서 모두 해외 의존도가 높고 물류문제가 이슈가 되는 산업이다. 따라서 가구류 수출입 물류구조는 항만배후지를 이용하여 합리화될 수 있는 여지가 크고, 거기에서 새로운 물류 비즈니스를 창출할 기회가 엿보았다. 그 결과 부산항 가구물류센터에서 중-일간 크로스독 기능과 일본향 수입가구 조립배송기능을 담당할 것을 제안하였다. '중일 크로스독 센터' 모델은 중일항로에서 부산항이 가진 지리적 이점과 고밀도 네트워크를 활용한 것이며, '일본향 수입가구 조립배송센터' 모델은 일본 수입가구의 조립과 배송기능을 부산 신항 배후지로 이전시키는 것에 초점을 두었다. 이와 같은 가구류 항만물류 비즈니스모델의 현실화에는 크게 보아 적극적 투자유치활동의 전개, 부산항의 경쟁력 유지 강화, 부산신항 배후부지 활성화 등 3가지의 정책이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
