  • This research topic evaluates the effectiveness and importance of environmental protection in the 21st century in light of the increasing demand on the earth's natural resources and the pressures on economic and industrial development to provide dynamic power. As the world and our fellow citizens become more conscious of environmental protection, companies are under greater pressure whilst pursuing economic growth. Therefore, domestic manufacturers have been devoting efforts to promote environmental management. This research conducts survey using questionnaires on the operational performance of the manufacturers who have ISO 14000 series accreditation and certification. The survey considers five dimensions/functions within a manufacturer, financial management, human resources management, production management, and marketing management. A total of 35 indices are used for analysis of the effects that the location, history, industry, number of employees, amount of capital, and revenue may have on the performance. This research targets the manufacturers approved of ISO 14000 series certification by Environment Administration Association. The statistical methods deployed are descriptive statistics, T-test, and single factor analysis of variance used for analysis. The conclusions reveal that a certain level of performance has been achieved in every dimension. After T-test, all the indices have reached a significant level. The indications are that ISO 14001 benefits all manufacturers the level of benefits however varies from company to company.

  • This study aims to analyze the livelihood resources and income diversification of informal recyclers in the Mekong River Delta (MRD). The multiple linear regression model was applied to determine income diversification and total household income with the sustainable livelihood analysis framework developed by the United Kingdom Department for International Development (2000), including human resources, physical resources, natural resources, financial resources, and social resources. The results indicated that up to 25% of itinerant waste buyers worked on average more than 7.3 hours/day, which was higher than the urban near-poor level regulated by the Vietnam government. The results of the regression model revealed that total households' income was affected by the factors of health status, gender, urban location type 1, the amount of potential savings, and informal credit participation, while the factors of health status, urban location, the amount of potential savings, and informal credit participation have the effect of diversifying farm household income. Thus, if the informal waste recycling sector is supported and regulated by proper government management, it will not only help poor households diversify their income, but it will also help poor households diversify their income, particularly women's income, which is vulnerable and lower than male income in the MRD.

  • Fifty-one Thai Native (TN) and Anglo-Nubian (AN) $\times$ TN does were studied. The purpose of the study was to investigate the reproductive performances of different goat genotypes grazing improved pasture with or without supplementary feeding. The feeding regimes were: 1. no concentrate supplement (T1), 2. supplemented for 15 days before mating and 45 days during mating period (T2), 3. supplemented from 15 days before mating to 42 days after kidding (T3) and 4. supplemented for 30 days before kidding, followed by 42 days after kidding. Cross-bred does tended to have higher conception rates, kidding opportunities and higher multiple birth rates than TN does. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05), and concentrate supplementation under the various regimes did not increase reproductive performance. TN kids had significantly (p<0.01) lower birth weights and lower weights at 3, 6 and 12 weeks of age than those of the cross-bred kids. However, there was no significant difference between the genotypes in growth rate (g/d or $g/kg^{75}/d$) of kids during these periods. Supplementary feeding did not significantly affect either kid birth weight or weight gain in the first 6 weeks after birth and during this period supplementary adequate in both quantity and quality, substantial reproductive performances were achieved from both TN and AN $\times$ TN does without concentrate supplementation.

  • 대학연습림의 기능이 점차 확대되면서 산림 및 자연환경에 대한 다양한 정보가 필요하게 되고, 연습림의 관리전략에도 복잡한 기술이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 GIS 기법을 응용한 소위 산림정보시스템과 같은 체계적 수단을 통해 산림 및 입지환경에 대한 여러 가지 정보들을 보다 손쉽게 수집, 편집, 관리, 분석, 갱신하고 나아가 의사결정을 지원할 수 있다면 연습림의 관리에도 많은 효과를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 본 연구는 대구대학교 성주연습림을 대상으로 이러한 목적을 시범적으로 모색해보고자 한 것으로, 일차 단계로서 각종 공간자료를 수치지도화 하여 지형을 비롯한 임상, 토양형 등 여러 수치주제도를 구축함으로써 도면정보의 유지 및 통합과정의 어려움을 해소하면서 위치적 통일성과 정보의 통합성을 어느 정도 확보하였다. 또한 영림계획상의 속성자료와 연결하여 사용자 중심의 시스템을 개발함으로써 보다 신속한 검색, 분석은 물론 각종 산림계획의 수립, 평가, 실행과정의 의사결정 수단으로 활용할 수 있었다. 그러나 시스템의 기능에 대한 다양한 요구에 부응하고 효용성을 높이기 위해서는 최신 자료로의 갱신이나 새로운 기술의 도입 등 문제점에 대한 지속적인 보완이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • A protected area means a space designated and protected by law from development pressure and environmental pressure. It is mainly designated to protect specific ecosystems, natural landscapes, and cultural resources from irrational development (or damage), and involves policies of the public sector such as central and local governments. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has conducted conservation and restoration projects for preserving natural ecosystems and genetic resources. In order to conserve the ecosystem in the protected area, national and public organizations purchase private land and use it ecologically; in addition, ecological restoration project is carried out for the purpose of creating waterside ecological belt or preserving ecosystem. Land acquisition refers to the land where highly influenced by the water quality and need to restore, and purchased by negotiating with the landlord. Although the nation and public institution carried out ecosystem restoration project for partial purchase land in order to conserve ecosystem, it is below the expected effect due to lack of comprehensive management system and have some problems in restoration project and unification of management institutions. Land acquisition in Donggang River Basin Ecological Conservation area is initiated in 2005 for creating income of local residents and ecological restoration. However, the lack of overall management and awareness resulted in poor vegetation growth and poor response by local residents due to terrain exposure. As such, there is insufficient research on the current situation and systematic integrated management although the number of land acquisition is increasing year after year. Futhermore, overall recognition and follow-up monitoring of eco-restoration are still inadequate. Therefore, the survey on the awareness of the purchase land ecosystem restoration project is necessary for the efficient restoration project and establishment of the management strategy for land acquisition in the future. Therefore, in this study, we provide fundamental materials on further research projects by carrying out research on the awareness of ecological restoration projects in the Donggang River basin ecological preservation area.

  • 수렵은 산림의 중요한 산물중 하나인 야생동물을 자원화하는 산업형태이다. 현재 우리 나라의 수렵은 야생동물 자원화의 초기 단계에 있어 상업적, 경제적 측면에서 역할이 미미하고 수렵에 대한 국민의 인식이나 엽사의 수준, 야생동물관리상태 및 법률, 제도 등에 있어서 개선해야 할 점이 많다. 본 연구에서는 OECD 가입국중 미국, 일본 및 유럽연합(EC)에 속해 있는 독일, 프랑스 등 총 167개 수렵선진국을 선정하여, 각국의 수렵인구현황과 추이를 파악하고 그 나라의 수렵제도(엽구제 및 면허제), 수렵담당부서, 수렵허가, 수렵보험, 허용총기류, 수렵동물종, 수렵시즌 등 수렵관련사항들을 비교 분석하였다. 우리 나라는 OECD 16개국 중에서 가장 적은 엽사비율(인구대비 : 1/2,463)을 가지고 있으며, 이 수치는 스칸디나비아 3국의 엽사비율에 비하여 1/100, 독일에 비해서는 1/10 정도의 수준에 머무는 아주 낮은 수치이다. 대부분의 OECD 국가에서는 수렵제도로 엽구제를 도입하여 야생동물증식 및 수렵의 경제효과를 최대화하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 또한 수렵을 관장하는 부서도 국(局)(독일, 오스트리아) 단위에서 다루고 있으며, 대동물 수렵시 라이플의 허용이 일반화되어 있다. 많은 나라에서 면허시험과 수렵보험이 수렵허가를 받는데 의무화되어 있으며, 포획량, 수렵시즌을 정하는 문제도 대상이 되는 종과 그 생태에 따라서 생존에 미치는 수렵의 영향을 최소화하는 방향으로 결정하고 있다. 본 연구결과는 우리 나라의 농임업 관리수렵의 정착을 위한 준비과정으로, 선진 수렵제도의 수용 및 우리 나라 수렵제도의 개선에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

  • Recently, frequency occurring flood and drought has increased the necessity of an effective water resources control and management of river flows. Therefore, the simulation of the flow distribution in natural rivers is great importance to the solution of a wide variety of practical flow problems in water resources engineering. However The serious problem facing two-dimensional hydraulic model is the treatment of wet and dry areas. The objective of this study is to investigate the wet and dry parameters that have direct relevance to model performance in situations where inundation of initially dry areas occurs. Several numerical simulations were carried out, which examined the performance of the marsh porosity method for the purpose of sensitivity analysis. Experimental channel and a variety of channel were performed for model tests. The results were compared with those of the observation data and simulation data of existing model. The RMA-2 model displayed reasonable flow distribution compare to the observation data and simulation data of existing model in dry area for application of natural river flow. As a result of this study, effectively applied marsh porosity method provide a reliable results for flow distribution of wet and dry area, it could be further developed to basis for extending to water quality and sediment transport analysis.

  • Etymologies are explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded 600 to 2,000 years ago. When Linnaeus in the mid-1700s began naming animals with a binomial nomenclature, he based names on the Latin Grammatical Form. Since many names have Latin or Greek roots, the name for an animal is the same throughout the world because Latin is no longer a spoken language and meanings of names will not evolve or change. In his use of Latin or a Latinized word for the genus and species, Linnaeus used descriptive words that will always be the same. Notwithstanding the importance of etymologies for scientific names, no study has addressed the etymology of scientific names for Korean mammals. Here, we list etymologies for scientific names of 127 mammal species, 84 genera, 32 families, and 8 orders from Korea. The origins of etymologies are mostly based on morphology, color of pelage, behavior, distribution, locality, country name, or a person's name. This paper will be useful for new students and trained scholars studying Korean mammals.

  • Overfishing capacity has become a global issue due to over-exploitation of fisheries resources, which result from excessive fishing intensity since the 1980s. In the case of Korea, the fishing effort has been quantified and used as an quantified index of fishing intensity. Fisheries resources of coastal fisheries in the Korean waters of the East Sea tend to decrease productivity due to deterioration in the quality of ecosystem, which result from the excessive overfishing activities according to the development of fishing gear and engine performance of vessels. In order to manage sustainable and reasonable fisheries resources, it is important to understand the fluctuation of biomass and predict the future biomass. Therefore, in this study, we forecasted biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea for the next two decades (2017~2036) according to the changes in fishing intensity using four fishing effort scenarios; $f_{current}$, $f_{PY}$, $0.5{\times}f_{current}$ and $1.5{\times}f_{current}$. For forecasting biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea, parameters such as exploitable carrying capacity (ECC), intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) and catchability (q) estimated by maximum entropy (ME) model was utilized and logistic function was used. In addition, coefficient of variation (CV) by the Jackknife re-sampling method was used for estimation of coefficient of variation about exploitable carrying capacity ($CV_{ECC}$). As a result, future biomass can be fluctuated below the $B_{PY}$ level when the current level of fishing effort in 2016 maintains. The results of this study are expected to be utilized as useful data to suggest direction of establishment of fisheries resources management plan for sustainable use of fisheries resources in the future.
