본 논문에서는 위성원격탐사의 제도적 정비와 향후 입법 과정에서의 사전 참고로서 이와 관련한 법적 문제들을 검토해 보았다. 위성원격탐사와 관련해서는 광범위한 법적 논점들이 제기될 수 있으나, 본 논문에서는 위성원격탐사에 관한 운용규제와 위성데이터의 거래규제 문제들에 논의의 중심을 두고, 우리법상의 본격적인 입법론적 방안을 위한 선행 연구로서, 비교법적 검토를 시도하였다. 먼저 위성원격탐사와 관련한 국제우주법 체제를 우주조약 체제와 UN원격탐사원칙으로 구분하여 개관하였고, 위성원격탐사에 관한 주요국의 입법례를 살펴보았다. 입법 연혁에 따라 미국, 캐나다, 독일, 프랑스, 일본의 순서로 각 법규들의 성립 배경과 구체적인 입법적 구조 및 주요 내용 등을 구체적으로 분석해 보았다. 이후, 비교법적 검토를 토대로, 위성원격탐사 법제 정비와 관련한 몇 가지 논점들을 상정하여, 시사점 내지 개별적인 의견 등을 제시하였다. 2020년 현재까지 '국내 입법'으로 위성원격탐사에 관한 법제 정비를 시도한 국가들로는 미국, 캐나다, 독일, 프랑스, 일본이 유일하다. 이들 국가들은 자체적인 위성 운용시스템과 위성데이터보호에 관한 입법적 체계를 마련하여, 위성원격탐사에 관한 법률적 규율을 실시하고 있다. 우리나라도 2010년부터 '천리안 위성'을 운용하며 해양·기상 관측을 행하고 있는 위성원격탐사 수행국이라 할 수 있는데, 아직 그와 관련한 법제는 몇 가지의 정부 훈령을 제외하고는 마련되지 않은 상황이다. 그러나 위성데이터의 활용 플랫폼이 큰 폭으로 변화하고 있고, 소형 관측위성의 개발도 고려할 수 있는 지금, 데이터에 대한 접근성과 활용도는 향후 큰 폭으로 상승할 것이다. 이러한 점들을 고려할 때, 우리나라에서도 관측위성시스템과 위성데이터를 종합적으로 관리할 수 있는 입법 추진이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 특히 국가안보와 정보보안의 측면에서도 위성데이터에 대한 일정한 보급규제가 제도적으로 필요할 것이다.

우주활동의 증가와 더불어 이는 지구상의 인류와 환경에 대한 지속적인 위협요인이 되고 있으며 그중에서도 우주활동과 관련된 환경문제로서 가장 심각한 것으로 파악되고 있는 것이 우주폐기물의 문제이다. 이는 다른 우주 물체에 대해서도 커다란 위협이 될 뿐 아니라 지구의 대기권으로 재진입하여 인간이 통제(control)할 수 없는 상태에서 지구상에 낙하될 때에 인간의 생명과 재산상에 커다란 위험을 초래하게 된다. 현재 우주활동과정에서의 우주공간이나 지구를 포함한 천체에 대한 환경보호와 그 대처를 위한 제도적 장치는 아직 미흡하며 이를 위한 우주국제법적 해결이 모색되고 있고 부분적으로는 우주환경오염을 방지하고자 하는 규정이 일부 조약에 도입되기도 하였다. UN COPUOS를 중심으로 우주조약이나 책임협약 및 달 협정뿐만 아니라 등록협약의 관련조항에서도 가능한 위험을 최소화하기 위한 규정을 두고 있음은 주지의 사실이다. 그밖에도 부분적 핵실험 금지조약이나 핵무기비확산 조약 그리고 환경변화기술의 군사적 사용금지협약 등을 통해서도 우주나 지구자연의 평화적인 이용에 대한 장애요인을 제거하기 위한 직,간접적인 법적 장치가 마련되어 있는 것으로 평가된다. 특히 별도의 법체계를 정립하는 것이 필요하다는 문제와 관련하여 ILA는 일찍이 1986년 세계국제법협회 (ILA) 서울 총회에서 의제로 제안된 이래로 8년여에 걸쳐 여러 차례 각국에서의 회기를 거쳐 이 문제에 대한 지속적인 논의를 해왔던 바, 그 결과 동 협회는 1994년 Buenos Aires 회의에서 최종 초안인 "우주 폐기물에 기인되는 손해로부터 우주 내지 자구환경을 보호하기 위한 국제문서초안"을 작성하여 COPUOS에 제출한 바 있다. 향후 이것은 COPUOS가 의제로 채택하여 기술분과나 법률분과소위원회에서 논의를 할 때 기초적인 검토 자료로서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 사료되며 동위원회에서 이를 충분히 심의한 후 사안의 심각성에 비추어 조속한 결실을 맺게 되도록 노력해야 할 것이다.

Insurances of space activities are divided into satellite insurance, astronaut insurance and third party liability insurance. Against the background of the rapid development of space commercialization, especially the increasing participation of private entities in space affairs, the present international and domestic mechanisms of space insurance are challenged. As a space-faring state which is in the process of developing space businesses, the regulations of space insurance in China are deserved to be discussed. Satellites insurance is at present well-developed, the "pre-launch", "launch" and "in-orbit" phases of satellites are all possible to be insured by related companies. China created the CAIA in 1997 to provide insurance for Chinese satellites. However, with more private entities start to involve in space as well as satellite industry, the regime established under the framework of CAIA is necessary to be modified, and the mechanism relating to space insurance brokers should be promoted. The astronauts are recognized as the envoy of humankind, and relevant international regulations are made to provide assistance to them in emergency circumstances. From the domestic perspective, astronauts will be fully insured. China creates a particular type of insurance for astronauts. However, once space tourism becomes a business, the insurance of the tourist will be demanded to be created. In order to promote China's space tourism, it is recommended to take the "Astronaut Group Insurance" as an optional model to space tourists, if the tourists are customers of a governmental-owned space company. Once private involvement of providing orbital/suborbital tourism service becomes a reality, new rules are required. Getting a third party liability insurance is deemed as an indispensable precondition for an applicant to get a launch permission. Domestic space laws will include provisions for the third party liability insurance. China's "Interim Measures" of 2002 realizes the importance of third party liability insurance and requires the permit holder to get it before entering the launching site. This regulation is different from the practices of other states. Concerning that China is the sponsor of APSCO, for the purpose of promoting commercial space cooperation, a harmonized approach to domestic law is recommended to be found.

The study focuses on the problems of store space supply in apartment sites and suggests policy directions for the problem. Based on the results of field survey and site reconnaissance, this study identifies following problems and policy directions. First, the stores do not meet consumers various demand due to item limitations with small size. Consequently, there are many closed and/or unsold stores with high vacancy rates, Second, there is a tendency that the closed store rate becomes higher as apartment size becomes smaller. We suggest some law and regulation amendment that make store supply optional rather than mandatory in the case of small apartment site construction.

General aviation and air transport are two wings of the civil aviation industry. Chinese air transport is developing rapidly, and has become the world second air transport system only second to US since 2005. However, Chinese civil aviation is far behind the world average level, and cannot meet requirements of economic construction and social development. The transition and structural adjustment of Chinese economy provide the general aviation with a unprecedented broad market. The prospect of general aviation is promising and anticipated. The development of general aviation industry needs the legislative supports, and the current legislative conditions of Chinese general aviation are undoubtedly far behind the realistic requirements. Accelerating the legislation in Chinese general aviation industry requires scientific legislation concept. First, Legislation must promote development of general aviation industry. The general aviation will serves as a Chinese emerging industry that boosts domestic demand, promotes employment and expedite domestic economic development. We should, based on both the concept of promoting the industrial development of general aviation and national industrial planning, enact and rectify relative laws and regulations. And we should also straighten out the relationship between aviation security and industrial development and promote the revolution of low-altitude airspace management in an all-round way, in order to improve the utilization rate of airspace resources, classify and establish airspace, simplify examination and approval procedure and intensify operation management. In addition, what we should do is to expedite the infrastructure layout construction, guide the differentiated but coordinated development of general aviation industries in various areas, establish a united supervision mechanism of general aviation, redistrict the responsibilities of Chinese Air Control Agency and set up legislation, law enforcement and judicial systems with clarified institutions, clear positioning and classified responsibilities, so as to usher in a new era of the legislative management of Chinese general aviation industry. Second, shift the focus from regulations to both regulations and services. Considering the particularity of the general aviation, we should use American practices for reference and take into account both regulation and service functions when enacting general aviation laws. For example, we should reduce administrative licensing and market supervision, and adopt "criteria" and "approval" management systems for non-commercial and commercial aviation. Furthermore, pay attention to social benefits. Complete social rescuing mechanism through legislation. It should be clarified in legislation that general aviation operators should take the responsibilities of, and ensure to realize social benefits of environmental protection and ecological balance .Finally, rise in line with international standards. Modify Chinese regulations which is inconsistent with international ones to remove barriers to international cooperation. Specify basic legislative principles. One is the principle of coordination. Realize coordination between the civil aviation and general aviation, between military aviation and civil aviation, and among departments. Two is the principle of pertinence. The general aviation has its own rules and specialties, needing to be standardized using specialized laws and regulations. Three is the principle of efficiency. To realize time and space values of general aviation, we should complete rules in aerospace openness, general aviation airport construction, general aviation operations, and regulation enforcement. Four is the principle of security. Balance the maximum use of resources of Chinese airspace and the according potential threats to Chinese national interests and social security, and establish a complete insurance system which functions as security defense and indemnificatory measure. Establish a unified legal system. Currently, the system of Chinese general aviation laws consists of national legislation, administrative laws and regulations and civil aviation regulations (CAR). Some problems exist in three components of the system, including too general content, unclear guarantee measures, incomplete implementation details, and lacking corresponding pertinence and flexibility required by general aviation regulations, stringency of operation management and standards, and uniformity of standards. A law and regulation system, centered on laws and consisting of administrative laws regulations, industrial regulations, implementation details, industrial policies and local laws and regulations, should be established. It is suggested to modify the Civil Aviation Law to make general aviation laws complete, enact the Regulations of General Aviation Development, and accelerate the establishment, modification and abolition of Chinese general aviation laws to intensify the coordination and uniformity of regulations.

It is well observed in the satellite telecommunication policy of several States that legal constraints imposed upon the service coverage of satellite telecommunication as well as broadcasting are to be relaxed in a progressive way. Major aspects of such policy change lie in the adoption of policy refusing traditional concept of national frontier. In the case of direct broadcasting satellite service, while a debate upon the legal issues regarding the spill-over effect of that service is no more major concern of the States, many multinational enterprises are looking for strategic alliance for regional or global DBS project. On the other hand, an implementation plan for connecting the world through global mobile personal communication satellite system is being pursued by several joint effort of multinational firms. Legal issues arise regarding the regulatory competence of each State, Especially, a controversial issue is concerning the sovereign right well recognized upon the regulation of telecommunication. This study is focusing upon the evolution of such policy change for the purpose of allowing us to expect future develpment of worldwide satellite telecommunication policy environment.

One of the first issues which arose in the evolution of air law was the determination of the vertical limits of airspace over private property. In 1959 the UN in its Ad Hoc Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, started to give attention to the question of the meaning of the term "outer space". Discussions in the United Nations regarding the delimitation issue were often divided between those in favour of a functional approach ("functionalists"), and those seeking the delineation of a boundary ("spatialists"). The functionalists, backed initially by both major space powers, which viewed any boundary as possibly restricting their access to space(Whether for peaceful or military purposes), won the first rounds, starting with the 1959 Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space which did not consider that the topic called for priority consideration. In 1966, however, the spatialists, were able to place the issue on the agenda of the Outer Sapce Committee pursuant to Resolution 2222 (xxx1). However, the spatialists were not able to present a common position since there existed a variety of propositions for delineation of a boundary. Over the years, the funtionalists have seemed to be losing ground. As the element of location is a decisive factor for the choice of the legal regime to be applied, a purely functional approach to the regulation of activities in the space above the Earth does not offer a solution. It is therefore to be welcomed that there is clear evidence of a growing recognition of the defect inherent to such an approach and that a spatial approach to the problem is gaining support both by a growing number of States as well as by publicists. The search for a solution of the problem of demarcating the two different legal regimes governing the space above the Earth has undoubtedly been facilitated, and a number of countries, among them Argentina, Belgium, France, Italy and Mexico have already advocated the acceptance of the lower boundary of outer space at a height of 100km. The adoption of the principle of sovereignty at that height does not mean that States would not be allowed to take protective measures against space activities above that height which constitute a threat to their security. A parallel can be drawn with the defence of the State's security on the high seas. Measures taken by States in their own protection on the high seas outside the territorial waters-provided that they are proportionate to the danger-are not considered to infringe the principle of international law. The most important issue in this context relates to the problem of a right of passage for space craft through foreign air space in order to reach outer space. In the reports to former ILA Conferences an explanation was given of the reasons why no customary rule of freedom of passage for aircraft through foreign territorial air space could as yet be said to exist. It was suggested, however, that though the essential elements for the creation of a rule of customary international law allowing such passage were still lacking, developments apperaed to point to a steady growth of a feeling of necessity for such a rule. A definite treaty solution of the demarcation problem would require further study which should be carried out by the UN Outer Space Committee in close co-operation with other interested international organizations, including ICAO. If a limit between air space and outer space were established, air space would automatically come under the regime of the Chicago Convention alone. The use of the word "recognize" in Art. I of chicago convention is an acknowledgement of sovereignty over airspace existing as a general principle of law, the binding force of which exists independently of the Convention. Further it is important to note that the Aricle recognizes this sovereignty, as existing for every state, holding it immaterial whether the state is or is not a contracting state. The functional criteria having been created by reference to either the nature of activity or the nature of the space object, the next hurdle would be to provide methods of verification. With regard to the question of international verification the establishment of an International Satelite Monitoring Agency is required. The path towards the successful delimitation of outer space from territorial space is doubtless narrow and stony but the establishment of a precise legal framework, consonant with the basic principles of international law, for the future activities of states in outer space will, it is still believed, remove a source of potentially dangerous conflicts between states, and furthermore afford some safeguard of the rights and interests of non-space powers which otherwise are likely to be eroded by incipient customs based on at present almost complete freedom of action of the space powers.
