There is an overall guideline of the installation of air quality monitoring stations in Korea, but specified steps for the selection of monitoring sites for hazardous air pollutants(HAPs) are not provided. In this study, we proposed a systematic method for the selection of monitoring sites for HAPs using geographic information system (GIS). As a case study, the Seoul metropolitan area (Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province) was chosen, and 15 factors including population, vehicle registration, and emission data were compiled for each grid cell ($7km{\times}7km$). The number of factors above the top 30% of individual data for each grid cell was used to select priority monitoring sites for HAPs. In addition, several background sites were added for data comparison and source identification. Three scenarios were suggested: Scenario 1 with 7 sites, Scenario 2 with 17 sites, and Scenario 3 with 30 sites. This proposal is not the final result for an intensive monitoring program, but it is an example of method development for selecting appropriate sampling sites. These results can be applied not only to HAPs monitoring in megacities but also to the national HAPs monitoring network.

최근 대도시 지역의 오존오염이 문제가 되면서 중앙정부를 비롯하여 여러 지방자치단체에서 이에 대한 대책을 수립ㆍ시행하고 있다. 환경부에서는 고농도 오존에 대한 긴급처방으로서 '단기대책'과 보다 시간을 요하는 '중ㆍ장기 대책'을 수립하여 제시하고 있으며(환경부, 2000), 서울, 인천, 경기 등의 지자체에서도 오존오염을 주 대상으로 하는 대기질 개선대책을 수립하여 시행하고 있다(경기도, 2000; 서울특별시 2000; 인천광역시, 2000). 그러나, 환경부 및 지방자치단체의 다양한 노력에도 불구하고, 오존경보제가 도입된 1995년 이후 오존주의보 발령횟수와 발령지역이 계속 증가 추세에 있다.

There is no easy answer to ensuring the world's rapid urban population growth is managed sustainably and in a manner that promotes economic growth, social cohesion, and health and wellbeing. However, densification of existing urban areas is increasingly recognised as an effective and socially responsible way for cities to accommodate growing populations and still operate as vital, vibrant spaces. The Future Spaces Foundation's Vital Cities: Transport Systems Scorecard explores how well-networked, safe and sustainable transport networks equip densifying cities to meet the needs of their rising and fast-changing populations. This paper uses data from the scorecard to examine the transport infrastructure and associated data networks of three large, rapidly densifying cities - Beijing, Mumbai and $S{\tilde{a}}o$ Paulo - and highlight the successful measures and policies implemented between them. It includes an in-depth explanation of the scorecard's methodology, and concludes with an appeal for people-focused transport design that values safety, urban vibrancy and individual wellbeing over corporate efficiency.

The science and technology of seismic hazard mitigation are increasingly being shared among scientists and policy makers around the world. Administrative expertise is also being shared. While there is still tremendous unevenness in technical and administrative capacities and resources, a global community of emergency managers is developing and there is a globalization of expertise. Hazards are better understood, tools for risk assessment are improving, techniques for hazard mitigation are being perfected, and communities and states are implementing more comprehensive disaster preparedness, response, and recovery programs. Priorities are also emerging and hazard mitigation has emerged as the priority of choice in North America and Europe. An increasingly important component of hazard mitigation is resilience, in terms of increased capacities for disaster mitigation and recovery at the community and even individual levels. Each year, more is known about the locations and natures of seismic hazards, although there are still unknown and poorly understood fault lines and limited understanding of related disasters such as tsunamis and landslides. More is known about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment, although nature still provides surprises to confound man's best extorts to reduce risk. More is known about human nature and how people respond to uncertain risk and when confronted by certain catastrophe. However, despite the increased understanding of seismic phenomena and how to protect people and property, there is much that needs to be done to reduce the risk, particularly in major metropolitan areas.

Disposal of industrial waste in cities where municipal authorities permitting higher floor area ratio coupled with increasing living standards, a lot of demolition waste is being generated. Its disposal is a challenge particularly in megacities where no landfills are available. The ever-increasing cost of building construction materials also necessitates consuming demolition wastes in a useful manner to save fresh natural raw materials. In the present work, the crushed waste glass is used in high-strength concrete as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. The control concrete of grade M60 was proportioned following BIS 10262-2009. The crushed waste glass has been used as a partial replacement with varying percentages of 10, 20, 30, and 40% by weight of fine aggregate. Experimental tests were carried on the fresh and hardened state of the concrete. The effect of crushed waste glass on the workability of the concrete has been investigated. Non-destructive tests, acid attack tests, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out for the control concrete and concrete containing crushed waste glass after 7, 28, and 270 days of normal curing. The results show that for the same w/c ratio, the workability of concrete increases with increasing replaced crushed waste glass content. However, the decrease in compressive strength of the concrete after 28 days of normal curing and further after 28 days of acid attacks, up to 30% replacement level of fine aggregate by the crushed waste glass is insignificant.

The impact of climate change on typhoons is a major concern in East Asia, especially due to the destructive effects of heavy rainfall on society and the economy, as many megacities are located along coastal regions. Although observations suggest significant changes in typhoon heavy rainfall, the extent to which anthropogenic forcing contributes to these changes has yet to be determined. In this study, we demonstrate that anthropogenic global warming has a substantial impact on the observed changes in typhoon heavy rainfall in the western North Pacific region. Observation data indicates that, in general, typhoon heavy rainfall has increased (decreased) in coastal East Asia (tropical western North Pacific) during the latter half of the 20th century and beyond. This spatial distribution is similar to the "anthropogenic fingerprint" observed from a set of large ensemble climate simulations, which represents the difference between Earth systems with and without human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. This provides evidence to support the claim that the significant increase in the frequency of typhoon heavy rainfall along coastal East Asia cannot be solely explained by natural variability. In addition, our results indicate that the signal of the "anthropogenic fingerprint" has been increasing rapidly since the mid-1970s and departed from natural variability in the early 2000s, indicating that the regional summer climate has already crossed the tipping point.

Most developing countries are experiencing rapid urbanization and the associated growth of industry and services. Cities are currently absorbing two-thirds of the total population in the developing world. Korea has about 85 percent of urban dwellers. World population will shift from being predominantly rural to predominantly urban around the turn of the century. Although cities play a key role in development process and make more than a proportionate contribution to national economic growth, especially cities are also the main catalysts of economic growth in developing countries, they can also be unhealthy, inefficient, and inequitable places to live. Most developing countries are increasingly unable to provide basic environmental infrastructure and services, whether in the megacities or in secondary urban centers. Of particular concern is the strain on natural resources brought by the increasing number of people, cars, and factories. They are generating ever greater amounts of urban wastes and emissions. They also exceed the capacity of regulatory authorities to control them and of nature to assimilate them. The environmental consequences are translated into direct negative impacts on human health, the quality of life, the productivity of the city, and the surrounding ecosystems. Environmental degradation threatens the long tenn availability and quality of natural resources critical to economic growth. Cities, with their higher and growing per capita energy use for domestic, industrial, and transport purpose also contribute a disproportionate share of the emission leading to global warming and acid rain. An important priority is to develop strategic approaches for managing the urban environment. The design of appropriate and lasting strategic responses requires first an understanding of the underlying causes of urban environmental deterioration, it is necessary that longer tenn objectives should be set for urban area to avoid irreversible ecological damage and to ensure lasting economic development. As a means to the preventive policies against the adverse effect, environmental impact assessment (EIA) serve to identify a project's possible environmental consequences early enough to allow their being taken into consideration in the decision making process for urban planning. This paper describes some considerations of EIA for urban planning-scoping, assessment process, measurement and prediction of impacts, pollution controls and supervision, and system planning for environmental preservation.

본 연구에서는 2006년 여름철에 MAX-DOAS를 이용하여 동북아 지역의 주요 메가시티 중 하나인 북경에서 이산화질소의 고도별 분포를 산출하였다.또한 MAX-DOAS로 산출된 이산화질소 혼합비를 검증하기 위해 MAX-DOAS로 산출된 지표에서가장 가까운 0-1 km 공기층 내에서의 이산화질소 혼합비와 지점관측장비로 지표에서 측정된 이산화질소 혼합비를 상호 비교하였다. 관측기간 동안 몇 일을 제외하고는 대체적으로 지상에서의 이산화질소 혼합비가 매우 크며, 지상으로부터 3 km 정도에서는 그 혼합비가 매우 작아 지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, MAX-DOAS로 산출된 0-1 km 공기층 내에서의 이산화질소 혼합비와 지점관측장비로 측정된 이산화질소 혼합비를 상호 비교했을 때 두 값들 사이의 상관관계(R)는 0.7로 계산되었으며, 두 값들 사이에 있어 차이가 발생하는 주요한 이유로서는 MAX-DOAS와 지점관측장비의 관측영역에서의 차이와 여름철 북경에서는 이산화질소의 혼합비가 고도에 따라 급격하게 감소하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

대도시 인근의 지진 취약성이 지적되고 있는 가운데 서울에서도 지진의 발생 가능성에 대한 인식이 늘고 있다. 특히 건축문화재의 경우에는 이설이나 해체가 어려워 지진에 대한 대비가 다른 구조물에 비해 어렵다. 더욱이 지진 발생 시에 지반이 어떠한 증폭된 지진파를 주요 문화재에 전파하게 되는지를 알아보는 일은 매우 중요하다. 이러한 배경으로 본 연구에서는 서울 시내에 위치한 15개소의 문화재 지반에 대한 표면파 탐사를 통한 현장조사를 실시하여 지반 분포 및 기반암의 위치를 파악하였다. 현장조사 결과를 바탕으로 전단파 속도 분포를 위주로 입력데이터를 설정하고 일차원 지진응답해석을 실시하여 붕괴방지수준을 기준으로 지진재현주기에 따른 최고 지표가속도와 지반증폭비, 지반의 고유주기 등을 파악하였다.
