The conflicts between environment protection and economic development are becoming increasingly important in environmental decision making of Nakdong River Basin. A science-based evaluation system is now needed to represent both the environmental values and the economic values with a common measure. EMERGY, spelled with an \"m\" evaluates both the work of river and that of human in generating products and services. The monetary cost-benefit analysis and the environmental accounting by EMERGY analysis were applied to determine whether there will have a net benefit in environmental decision making of Nakdong River Basin. Based on the results of the environmental accounting, all alternatives which related to environmental decision making of Nakdong River Basin show that more and more of EMERGY cost becomes needed than the a EMERGY benefit from getting water to drink in the lower basin. From these results, for selecting alternatives to manage water quantity and quality that is sustainable in the environmental use and economic development, environmental accounting concepts must be considered, and the economic structure of Nakdong River Basin should be changed from the present industrial structure to social-economic based on ecological-recycling concept for the sustainable use of Nakdong River.ong River.

The integration of GIS and fuzzy MCDA(Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) allows the engineer to determine the preferred alternative for each spatial location in the study area. The next step is to recommend to the final decision makers a single flood management alternative for the entire region. Note that if the study area is large, it might be possible to use the kind of information to recommend different alternatives for different portions of the region. However, for this study it is assumed that only a single alternative will be used. In this study, a "cost of uniformity" metric is proposed that allows decision makers to compute the impact of selecting a single alternative for the entire floodplain. This metric represents the increase in the average distance metric value as compared to the spatially diverse solution from the MCDA and GIS analysis. The results could be applied to any region of the floodplain as desired. Whether the decision makers decide to apply these calculations to the entire floodplain or to specific important regions within the floodplain, an analysis of the increases in the cost of uniformity provides an integrated way for the decision maker to rank the alternatives. This should provide an improvement in their engineering analysis.

온실효과는 이산화탄소의 과다방출로 인해 가장 심각한 환경문제가 되었다. 온실효과는 산림에서의 벌채, 특히 경작지를 위해 열대림지역이 파괴됨으로 인해 더욱 악화되고 있다. 나무는 대기중에서 이산화탄소를 흡수하므로 숲과 임산물은 이산화탄소를 이용하고 방출량을 줄이는데 큰 역할을 담당한다. 목재와 목제품은 철강, 알루미늄, 콘크리트와 같은 대체재료에 비해 제조에너지가 적게든다. 화석연료가의 높은 비용의 가능성이라는 관점에서 볼 때 목재가공에 있어서의 낮은 에너지소모량은 매우 중요하다. 또한 목재와 목제품은 탄소저장고로서의 역할을 한다. 따라서 목재는 환경적으로 바람직한 좋은 재료이다. 최근 산업용 재료의 사용에 있어서 목재와 다른 대체재에 관한 많은 논의가 진행되고 있다. 재료 선정은 누구나 할 수 있지만 선정시 다양한 측면을 고려하여야 한다. 앞서 언급하였듯이 목재는 환경적으로, 에너지 소모적인 면에서 우수한 재료이다. 그러므로 목재는 다른 대체재보다 환경에 미치는 영향이 적은 재료이다. 우리는 목재를 보다 효율적으로 이용하고 목재자원은 지속가능한 산림에서 제공되어야 할 것이다.

Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (SEA) is a decision-making process taking into account the environmental impact, economic and social impact of policies, plans, and programs at the higher stage prior to the project plan for promoting sustainable development. In this study, we analyzed the process and criteria for selecting appropriate alternatives when establishing development plan in SEA. First, the criteria for estimating changes in ecosystem services following the implementation of development project of industrial complex were presented. Second, alternative evaluations were conducted through an analysis of ecosystem service scenarios to explore suitable alternatives in Anseong. As a result, the environmental quality of selected area as the existing project site deteriorated according to the implementation of the project, and the dimensional reduction technique confirmed that the change in ecosystem service factors in project area was the optimal location. In addition, the results of the scenario assessment to explore suitable alternatives in Anseong City showed that the existing site had large capacity in terms of water quality control services (scenario 1), scenario 2 in terms of preconditioning services, and scenario 3 in terms of water supply services. The guidance of Ecosystem service assessment is expected to be available in decision-making of large-scale strategies (e.g., SEA) and projects by presenting more quantitative criteria for determining the adequacy and location feasibility of development plans and policy plans. This is expected to require various support, including legislation and revision of related laws, believed to be supported by advanced research.

With the development of related technologies, Location-Based Services (LBS) are growing fast and being used in many ways. Past LBS studies have focused on adoption of LBS because of the fact that LBS users have privacy concerns regarding revealing their location information. Meanwhile, the number of LBS users and revenues from LBS are growing rapidly because users can get some benefits by revealing their location information. Little research has been done on how LBS affects consumers' information search behavior in product purchase. The purpose of this paper is examining the effect of LBS information filtering on buyers' uncertainty and their information search behavior. When consumers purchase a product, they try to reduce uncertainty by searching information. Generally, there are two types of uncertainties - knowledge uncertainty and choice uncertainty. Knowledge uncertainty refers to the lack of information on what kinds of alternatives are available in the market and/or their important attributes. Therefore, consumers having knowledge uncertainty will have difficulties in identifying what alternatives exist in the market to fulfil their needs. Choice uncertainty refers to the lack of information about consumers' own preferences and which alternative will fit in their needs. Therefore, consumers with choice uncertainty have difficulties selecting best product among available alternatives.. According to economics of information theory, consumers narrow the scope of information search when knowledge uncertainty is high. It is because consumers' information search cost is high when their knowledge uncertainty is high. If people do not know available alternatives and their attributes, it takes time and cognitive efforts for them to acquire information about available alternatives. Therefore, they will reduce search breadth. For people with high knowledge uncertainty, the information about products and their attributes is new and of high value for them. Therefore, they will conduct searches more in-depth because they have incentive to acquire more information. When people have high choice uncertainty, people tend to search information about more alternatives. It is because increased search breadth will improve their chances to find better alternative for them. On the other hand, since human's cognitive capacity is limited, the increased search breadth (more alternatives) will reduce the depth of information search for each alternative. Consumers with high choice uncertainty will spend less time and effort for each alternative because considering more alternatives will increase their utility. LBS provides users with the capability to screen alternatives based on the distance from them, which reduces information search costs. Therefore, it is expected that LBS will help users consider more alternatives even when they have high knowledge uncertainty. LBS provides distance information, which helps users choose alternatives appropriate for them. Therefore, users will perceive lower choice uncertainty when they use LBS. In order to test the hypotheses, we selected 80 students and assigned them to one of the two experiment groups. One group was asked to use LBS to search surrounding restaurants and the other group was asked to not use LBS to search nearby restaurants. The experimental tasks and measures items were validated in a pilot experiment. The final measurement items are shown in Appendix A. Each subject was asked to read one of the two scenarios - with or without LBS - and use a smartphone application to pick a restaurant. All behaviors on smartphone were recorded using a recording application. Search breadth was measured by the number of restaurants clicked by each subject. Search depths was measured by two metrics - the average number of sub-level pages each subject visited and the average time spent on each restaurant. The hypotheses were tested using SPSS and PLS. The results show that knowledge uncertainty reduces search breadth (H1a). However, there was no significant correlation between knowledge uncertainty and search depth (H1b). Choice uncertainty significantly reduces search depth (H2b), but no significant relationship was found between choice uncertainty and search breadth (H2a). LBS information filtering significantly reduces the buyers' choice uncertainty (H4) and reduces the negative relationship between knowledge uncertainty and search breadth (H3). This research provides some important implications for service providers. Service providers should use different strategies based on their service properties. For those service providers who are not well-known to consumers (high knowledge uncertainty) should encourage their customers to use LBS. This is because LBS would increase buyers' consideration sets when the knowledge uncertainty is high. Therefore, less known services have chances to be included in consumers' consideration sets with LBS. On the other hand, LBS information filtering decrease choice uncertainty and the near service providers are more likely to be selected than without LBS. Hence, service providers should analyze geographically approximate competitors' strength and try to reduce the gap so that they can have chances to be included in the consideration set.

몬트리올의정서에 의하여 오존층 파괴물질로 규정된 전자산업의 필수불가결한 세정제인 CFC 113(1,1,2-trichloro 1,2,2,-trifluoroethane)의 사용이 앞으로 규제가 됨에 따라서 대체세정제의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 현재 시판중인 세정제의 종류는 상당히 많다. 이 중에서 Axarel 32(DuPont), Cleanthru 750H(KAO Chemical), EC-Ultra(Petroferm)를 선정하여 CFC 113과 세정성능을 비교하였다. CFC 113과 대체세정제의 세정성능 검사방법은 기본적은 물성측정, 재질호환성에 대한 실험, 증발속도의 측정, 오염물질의 제거효율에 관한 실험으로 구성되어 있다. CFC 113과 대체세정제들의 기본적인 물성들은 서로 상이하였다. 대체세정제는 비점이 높고 표면장력과 점도가 CFC 113보다 큰 값을 가지고 있다. 전자산업에서의 로진계 flux를 오염물질로 하고 각기의 세정제와의 용해도를 비교한 결과 비극성 유기물질은 abietic acid에 대한 용해도는 서로 유사하였으나 대체세정제의 경우 극성 유기물질에 대한 용해도는 CFC 113에 비해서 월등히 좋았다. 또한 비점이 낮은 CFC 113의 건조성은 대체세정제와는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 우수하였고 특히 대체세정제 중에서 EC-Ultra는 건조성이 매우 낮았다. CFC 113과 대체세정제에서의 PCB의 구성 재질인 FR4와 Cu-coated FR4에 대한 재질호환성은 거의 비슷하였다. Abietic acid의 제거효율에 관한 실험에서는 초음파 세정에 의해서 우수한 세정효과를 보여 주었으며 침적에 의해 세정에서는 건조성이 좋은 세정제가 유리하지만 초음파 세정에 의해서 대체세정제간의 제거효율의 차이는 거의 없었다. CFC 113의 대체세정제로서 로진계 flux를 제거하는 대체세정제간의 세정성능은 큰 차이는 없으나 최종 세정제로 선정하기 위해서는 세정장치의 적용, 환경문제 및 경제성의 고려가 병행되어야 한다.

In order to design an FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System), an effective design tool is necessary for selecting and anlayzing the complex interacting factors of a manufacturing system. Considering most of the previous researches have been focused on evaluating the designed FMS, development of an integrated FMS designing system is needed for performing the design task such as machine selection and layout determination as well as the evaluation task of the designed FMS. In this paper, we developed a prototype of such a system called the intelligent FMS designer based on the techniques of Expert System and Simulation. By using this designing system, possible design alternatives can be analyzed and appropriate manufacturing capacity can be estimated at the designing stage. Various operating characteristics of the designed FMS can be also predicted before it is implemented. Eventually a suitable design alternative can be provided with cost details within relatively short time period. To demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the designer, a simple example is tested. The results show a great potential for automating design processes of an FMS.
