Upcycling generally refers to the conversion of waste materials to something useful or valuable and is a useful concept that can be applied not only to the waste design industry but also to waste recycling and resource circulation. Our study highlights upcycling as the key concept for improving the value of waste by redefining the concept as "the recycling of waste materials and discarded products in ways that enhance their value." Four upcycling strategies are linked to material flow analyses conducted on waste electronic and electrical equipment, specifically waste refrigerators and waste computers, to examine the technologies available for implementation and suggest guidelines for the promotion of upcycling. The amount of waste refrigerators collected by the formal sector was 121,642 tons/y and the informal sector, 63,823 tons/y. The current recycling ratio of waste refrigerators was estimated as 88.53%. A total of 7,585 tons/y of waste computers were collected by the formal sector and 3,807 tons/y by the informal sector after discharge. Meanwhile, the current recycling ratio of waste computers was estimated as 77.43%. We found that it is possible to introduce 28 upcycling technologies in the case of refrigerators, and 15 technologies are available to promote upcycling in the case of computers. By refining the broad concept of upcycling and looking at the stages of material flow, our approach presents universally applicable directions for incorporating upcycling in resource recovery and recirculation plans.

With the efforts to development of renewable energy technologies, and increasing awareness to environmental issues, the usage of wood pallets has been increasing every year since the introduction of wood pallet technology to the domestic market. until 2009, majority usage of pellet boiler was in the residential houses. In an effort to increase the distribution of wood pellet boiler to cultivation facilities with high usage of fuels, The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has launched a distribution project of wood pellet boiler for fuel usage as a part of the agricultural and fishery energy efficiency projects. Although only small number of farms with a heat-culturing facility have replaced from conventional boiler to pellet boiler. Although part of reason for low usage of pallet boiler is lack of understanding and information of it, the main reasons are high initial cost and uncertainty of its cost efficiency. Also, most people from agricultural industry don't realize it's significance in terms of environmental benefit due to lack of understanding in 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'. In this study, first, we did a cost-efficiency analysis of the farm which uses a diesel boiler to grow cucumber, tomato, paprika. Then we replaced the diesel boiler to a pallet boiler and measured its cost-efficiency again. By comparing the cost-efficiency of the diesel boiler with the pellet boiler, we analyzed the economic viability of pellet boiler. Then we analyzed viability of pallet boiler usage in terms of 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'. As a result of our analysis, we have found out that under the current system of government support, the energy usage varies depends of the types crops grown and the higher the energy use, the more cost efficient it is to use the pallet boiler. Also, it is economically viable to use the pallet boiler in terms of 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'.

본 연구에서는 앙상블 중규모기후모델 weather research and forecasting(WRF)를 이용하여 2045년부터 2054년까지 21세기 중반의 기후변화에 대한 우리나라 미래 풍력자원 지도를 제작하였고 월별, 시간대별 자원변화를 검토하였다. 분석결과, 한반도상에서 강한 몬순 순환으로 인해 뚜렷한 월별 시공간 변동성이 해륙풍에 의한 시간대별 변동성보다 컸다. 풍력자원이 큰 강풍지역은 월마다 지역마다 다르게 나타났다. 즉 겨울철 북서계절풍(여름철 남서계절풍)이 주풍일 때 각각 강원산간과 해상 그리고 남서해안에서 자원이 많을 것으로 전망되었다. 최대풍과 최소풍은 1월, 9월에 각각 나타날 것으로 전망되었고, 시간대별로 내륙과 산간은 일중편차가 컸지만 연안지역은 편차가 작을 것으로 전망되었다. 이는 현재기후에 대한 기존분석결과와는 다소 차이가 있는 것으로, 이 연구에서 생산된 미래 풍력자원 지도는 향후 기후 변화 가능성이 큰 지역의 시공간적 풍황을 감안하여 풍력단지 입지 선정 및 풍력운영을 위한 장기계획 마련에 있어서 유용한 자료가 되리라 기대된다.

The Purpose of this paper is to suggest sustainable strategies of the project for developing large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LSEAD). This study used assessment 3 indicators, efficiency, impact and sustainability of environment-friendly agricultural certification area and farmers, management situations of crop-livestock circulation center, educations for environment-friendly farming, changes of farmer's income and so on. This project has contributed to develop environment- friendly agriculture and model of LSEAD. And for sustainable development of LSEAD, it is necessary to renovate crop-livestock circulation centers, promote organic farming of resource-circulation type, converse to non-pesticide or organic farming of low pesticide one, do active marketing activities, establish a governance system of business projects and so forth.

The flow of cooling water in a passive containment cooling system (PCCS), used to remove heat released in design basis accidents from a concrete containment of light water nuclear power plant, was conducted in order to investigate the thermo-fluid equilibrium among many parallel tubes of PCCS. Numerical simulations of the subcooled boiling flow within a coolant loop of a PCCS, which will be installed in innovative pressurized-water reactor (PWR), were conducted using the commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-CFX. Shear stress transport (SST) and the RPI model were used for turbulence closure and subcooled flow boiling, respectively. As the first step, the simplified geometry of PCCS with 36 tubes was modeled in order to reduce computational resource. Even and uneven thermal loading conditions were applied at the outer walls of parallel tubes for the simulation of the coolant flow in the PCCS at the initial phase of accident. It was observed that the natural circulation maintained in single-phase for all even and uneven thermal loading cases. For uneven thermal loading cases, coolant velocity in each tube were increased according to the applied heat flux. However, the flows were mixed well in the header and natural circulation of the whole cooling loop was not affected by uneven thermal loading significantly.

자원수급의 불확실성이 점차 고조되고 있는 글로벌 상황에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해 전 세계적으로 효율적인 자원관리의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 자원관리 선진국들은 국가차원에서의 지속가능한 자원관리를 유도 및 지원하기 위해 자원이용의 효율성을 극대화하기 위한 법제도 마련 및 산업구조로의 전환을 촉진하고 있다. 한편, 국내의 경우 자원수급과 관련하여 국제환경에 매우 민감한 산업구조를 나타냄에 따라 국가 주도의 자원효율성의 획기적인 제고 방안 마련이 절실히 요구된다. 특히 자원 전과정에서의 자원의 효율적 이용을 위한 단계별 추구해야 할 방향과 구체적 실천방안에 대해 검토가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자원 전과정을 크게 생산계와 순환계로 구분하고 이에 따른 단계별 국내 자원관리의 현황 및 문제점, 이를 개선하기 위한 방향성 및 구체적 실천방안을 제시하였다.
