  • The objective of this paper is to formulate strategies and action programs for developing sustainable agriculture in Korea. There is increasing evidence that agriculture has been preoccupied with increasing productivity much to the detriment of environmental degradation. The issue of increasing agricultural productivity so as not to undermine the environment is a difficult task. In reality, there are many definitions of sustainable agriculture and sustainable agricultural development. In this paper, sustainable agriculture is defined by its ability to ensure future supplies of agricultural products at acceptable economic and environmental costs to the society. Sustainable agriculture development refers to the optimal level of interaction among the three dimensions - the environmental, the economic and the social - through dynamic and adaptive processes of trade-off. In order to formulate the strategies for developing sustainable agriculture, three stage approaches such as strategic analysis, strategic choice, and strategic implementation are employed. The basic framework for strategies of sustainable agriculture development consists of five steps such as vision, targets, principles, action plan and policy instruments. The major action plans for activating formulated strategies are suggested as integrating agricultural and environmental policy measures, establishing the system of optimal agri-environmental resources management practices, establishing safe and high quality product system and its effective marketing system, increasing the R&D investment for developing sustainable agro-technology, developing indicators for measuring sustainable agricultural development, and taking a share in related roles for all parties including farmers, consumers, policy makers, researchers and NGOs.

  • Recent advances in Geographic Information Systems and spatial statistical and analytical methods, along with the availability of spatially referenced health and environmental data, have created unique opportunities to investigate spatial associations between environment exposures and health outcomes at multiple spatial scales and resolutions. However, the increased use of spatial data also faces challenges, one of which is to ensure certainty and accuracy of locational data that meets the needs of a study. This article critically reviews the use of spatially referenced data in epidemiologic studies, focusing on the issue of locational uncertainty generated from the process of geocoding health and environmental data. Primarily, major issues involving the use of spatially referenced data are addressed, including completeness and positional accuracy, potential source of bias and exposure misclassification, and implications for epidemiologic studies. The need for critical assessment and caution in designing and conducting spatial epidemiology studies is briefly discussed.

  • Recently, there has been a large social issue about the environmental sector for safe zones from crime. Since 2010, starting with Seoul, most local governments have enacted ordinances related to crime prevention environmental design (hereinafter referred to as CPTED) and are showing active movement. In this study, as part of a method to understand how to use the design elements applied to CPTED, the safety village creation project of deteriorated construction districts in Daegu Metropolitan City was conducted, focusing on the 10 project destinations using CPTED, and the CPTED application elements were evaluated by CPTED. The analysis was conducted according to the basic principles, and the elements related to the architectural plan of the environmental design elements were reviewed. In order to extract the environmental design elements of the project site, the CPTED guideline appropriate for the sector was used based on the standard guidelines for environmental design for crime prevention in Daegu City and the contents of the crime prevention urban design ordinance.

  • In the 1970's, the environmental preservation is out of public issue, caused by rapid economic growth and industrialization. When the people's living standard Is grows, they aware of the environmental importance. In modern times, the environment preservation is global tendency and self social awareness is arise. Measures to the environment preservation and pollution is going on study. One measure is recycling and reuse of by product and it is already developed in some advanced country. But, the study about by product reuse is just beginning in domestic. The purpose of this study is reusing copper slag by product which produced in the copper refining process-as fine aggregate for developing high strength concrete. Concrete nix and properties, the result of mock up test for site application are analyzed.

  • An important and somewhat under-emphasized issue in assessing the risk potentially associated with exposure to ETS is the reliability and objectivity of the methods used to measure the actual level of exposure. Objectivity of the science is crucial in this context since this topic tends to elicit strong social, emotional and political responses among the general public and the scientific community alike. This mini-review compares the strengths and limitations of various methods used in determining ETS exposure in scientific investigations. Methods reviewed include: questionnaire, area monitoring, bio-monitoring, and personal monitoring. In particular, results of several recent studies (conducted in the United States, Europe, and the Far East) using personal monitors in combination with questionnaire and bio-monitoring, which contribute to a more reliable, objective and realistic estimates of a person's actual exposure to 575, are discussed.

  • Minamata disease made its first appearance in the world at Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, in May 1956. In 1962 methyl mercury poisoning through the placenta was found for the first time in the world. This was called congenital Minamata disease. In all cases the clinical symptoms were consistent with those of cerebral palsy. The time and place of outbreak were the same as those for Minamata disease. Their mothers had eaten fish and shellfish during pregnancy. The principal symptoms of congenital Minamata disease are mentalretardation ($100\%$); primitive reflexes ($100\%$); disturbance of coordination ($100\%$); dysarthria ($100\%$); limb deformation (100%); growth disorders ($100\%$); nutritional disorders ($100\%$); chorea-athetose ($95\%$); and hypersalivation ($95\%$). However, today, when the world is polluted by mercury in various places and at various levels, the data we need is not represented by those severe cases, but rather by the chronic milder type. Even in Minamata, the issue of Minamata disease has not been resolved. And likewise, on a global scale the problem of Minamata disease is not yet over.

  • An analytic and comparative study on the level of concentration on heavy metals in silt of Han- River was described. The Paldang lake supplies tap water resources for the 20 million residents in the metropolitan zone. It is composed that three steps for water works by the water volume in all 35,072 thousand tons : the first section is 7,251 thousand tons, the second is 15,980 thousand tons and the third is 11,841 thousand tons. However, recently it has becoming a serious social issue for water contamination on Paldang by heavy metals due to gathering of silt. It has concentrated on analysis and comparison study on the level of heavy metals between contamination- estimated zone and the other zones. After all, Concentration on heavy metals of expected none pollute's zone and expected pollute's zone indicate almost similar results. In the end, heavy metals within silt of Han- River consider not to effect on pollution but quantity of natural condition.

  • 한국 사회에서 최근 중요한 사회문제들을 알아내고 1994년과 1999년 시점에서 수행된 선행 연구(한덕웅, 1994; 한덕웅·강혜자, 2000)의 결과들과 비교하여 지난 10년 동안 세 시점에서 일관되게 중요한 사회문제들은 무엇이며 어떤 변화가 나타났는지 알아냈다. 2004년에는 모두 370개 사회문제의 목록을 사용하여 전국 5개 지역의 1600명(대학생 812명, 장년 788명)에게 조사를 실시했다. 조사 대상의 과반수가 세 시점에서 일관되게 중요하다고 평가한 사회문제들은 1)정치인 부정부패/부조리, 2)환경오염, 3)입시위주 교육, 그리고 4)지방대 출신 취업난이었다. 2004년 시점에서 조사 대상의 과반수 이상이 중요하다고 지각한 사회문제들은 1)높은 실업률, 2)정치인 부정부패/부조리, 3)환경오염, 4)입시위주 교육, 5)취업난, 6)국민의 정치불신, 7)서민생활고, 8)정치적 무능, 9)신용불량자, 10)지방대 출신 취업난, 11)정치 불안, 12)공무원 부정부패였다. 이 결과로부터 최근에 경제와 아울러 정치 문제가 매우 중요하다고 반응한 사람들의 백분율이 1994년과 1999년의 두 시점보다 높아졌음을 알아냈다. 세 시점에서 모두 반응의 백분율이 50위 안에 포함되는 사회문제들만을 가려내어서 시점간 백분율 순위의 상호단순상관을 산출한 결과를 보면 5년 간격으로는 순위상관이 유의했으나 10년 간에는 순위상관이 유의하지 않았다. 이 결과는 50대의 중요한 사회문제들에서 지난 10년 사이에 중요도 순위에서 큰 변화가 있었음을 의미한다. 본 연구에서 얻은 결과들이 나타난 원인 혹은 배경이 되는 요인들과 아울러 중요한 해결 방향을 검토하고 장래 연구의 과제도 논의하였다.
