  • 이 글은 물질흐름분석(MFA)이 지속가능성을 둘러싼 추상적인 개념 대립(약지속가능성과 강지속가능성)을 극복하고 지속가능성의 문제를 구체적인 정책 수준에서 논의할 수 있음을 보인다. 이를 위해 물질흐름분석이란 동일한 논리구조가 현실의 국민경제(EW-MFA)에서부터 산업(PIOT/NAMEA) 그리고 제품(LCI)에 이르기까지 구체적이고 일관성 있게 적용될 수 있음을 보이고, 각 유형의 MFA가 지닌 의의와 정책적 함의를 구명한다.

  • This paper aims to provide a review concept regarding the relationship between corporate governance and corporate sustainability in Indonesia. This paper examines the mechanisms and guidelines for implementing good corporate governance. This research used the literature review method and explores some effective corporate governance principles such as transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, fairness, and equality to achieve business sustainability in Indonesia's setting. The results show that good corporate governance regulation in Indonesia has been improved, but the enforcement is still needed to be optimized because good corporate governance will positively impact corporate sustainability. Thus, sustainability requires more corporate innovation because sustainability is about how a company can create profits and value-added to society through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and how the company can contribute to the preservation of nature and the environment. In Indonesia, the board of directors, the board of commissioners, and the audit committees are positively related to CSR disclosure. Thus, leadership and management efforts are crucial. However, to comprehensively support the synergy of implementing good corporate governance, we need the role of the state, the business community, and society. This study provides important insights into the implementation of good corporate governance in achieving corporate sustainability in Indonesia.

  • 본고에서는 지속가능(환경)보고서를 작성하는 프로세스에 있어서 중요성 분석 평가가 어떠한 역할을 하며 기업의 전략과 경영의사결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 각종 가이드라인과 대표기업의 사례연구를 통하여 분석했다. 분석결과를 종합하면 대체로 CSR(사회적 책임) 전략의 일환으로 중요성 개념이 도입되고 있으며, 보고서에 포함될 내용을 인식하고 활용하는 데 있어 상당히 엄격한 중요성 분석 프로세스를 설계 도입한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 모든 기업에 적합한 판단 조건의 적용은 어렵고 각 기업의 재량에 맡기고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 성공적으로 중요성을 결정하기 위해서는 각 조직이 공동의 이슈와 도전과제를 제시하고, 보고서 작성에 있어서도 중요성에 대한 명확한 방법론 제시와 개념정립의 필요성이 있다.

  • An emergy analysis of the main energy flows driving the economy of humans and life support systems consists of environmental energies, fuels, and imports, all expressed as solar emjoules. Total emergy use (371 E20 sej/yr) of the Western Nakdong River Basin is 97 per cent from imported sources, fuels and goods and services. Emergy flows from the environment such as rain and geological uplift flux accounted for only 2.9 percent of total emergy use. Emergy yield ratio and environment loading ratio were 1.03 and 33.27, respectively. Emergy sustainability index, a ratio of emergy yield ratio to environment loading ratio, is therefore less than one, which is indicative of highly developed consumer oriented economies. It is necessary for an efficient management of Western Nakdong River Basin to reduce pollution load basically and to restructure economic activities into an environmental friendly industrial structure depending on renewable energy and resources.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 상하수도 시설을 중심으로 한 물 인프라의 지속가능성을 평가하는 지수들을 활용하여 경제, 사회, 환경적 측면에서의 지속가능성을 평가하고 지속가능성 확보 필요성을 제고하기 위함이다. 경제, 사회, 환경적 지수 중 중요하게 고려해야할 세부지수들을 파악하고, 전국 지자체를 유형화하여 집단 간 특성을 비교분석하였다. 세부 지수의 가중치 산출은 주성분 분석을 활용하였으며, 지자체를 유형화하는 과정에는 K-평균 군집분석을 시행하였다. 가중치 분석 결과, 전체 12개의 지수 중 재정자립도, 자본수입비율, 보조금비율, 서비스보급률, 노후화율, 수생태건강성, 하천수질이 지속가능성을 평가하기 위한 주요한 변수로 분석되었으며, 특히, 경제부문 지수의 영향력이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로는 군집분석 결과를 통해 지자체를 크게 두 가지 유형으로 분류하였고, 각 유형 별 특징을 살펴보았다. 먼저 경제부문의 지속가능성이 우수한 집단에서는 환경부문에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났지만, 대체로 지속가능성 상태가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 환경부문이 우수한 집단에서는 지속가능성 상태가 열악한 지자체가 많이 포함되어 있으며, 특히, 경제부문 상태를 향상시키기 위한 집중적인 노력이 필요한 것으로 보인다.

  • Korea's healthcare is in great danger of sustainability. In 2020, the baby boomer will begin to be older, and there is no promise that the total fertility rate of 1.0 or less will rebound, and Korea's economic growth rate is predicted to be less than 2%. Together with these phenomena, Plan for Benefit Expansion in Nation Health Insurance (Moon Jae-in Care) will seriously threaten the sustainability of health insurance finance. In addition, health care in Korea has many problems: excessive medical utilization, rapidly increasing elderly medical costs, concentrating patients into big hospitals, low healthcare personnel but many healthcare facilities and equipment, bad quality of primary and mental care, and fast-growing health expenditure. For sustainability, healthcare of Korea should be reformed. The direction of the reform is people-centered and integrated healthcare in the community which is composed of empowering and engaging people, strengthening governance and accountability, reorienting the model of care, coordinating services, and creating an enabling environment.

  • The concepts of 'sustainable development', 'sustainable construction' and 'green building' have been elevated to priority levels in all types and phases of construction project development worldwide. Consultants and contractors are now required to seriously consider the impact of their operations on the natural environment and the society, and consequently adopt sustainable construction practices in the development process to minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of their activities. However, existing sustainability rating tools apply to the design, post-construction and operation phases of a building; no tool exists for the rating of the performance of the contractor or the project team at the construction phase. This study aimed to develop a model for evaluating the sustainability of construction operations, drawing on the global best practice standards on sustainability. Practical applications of the model were carried out through case studies to evaluate the performances of fifteen construction firms in New Zealand. The developed model and the outcomes of the case studies were presented, including potential areas of weaknesses, strengths, constraints to achievement or adoption of sustainable construction practices and areas for improvement in the operations of the firms. The successful application of the developed model in practice shows its usefulness and ease of application. It is therefore recommended for adoption as a simple but effective system for measuring and reporting on sustainability performance or sustainability of construction operations of firms in New Zealand and elsewhere.

  • Noting the changes within the Singapore construction industry, fuelled by the government's 'green' initiatives in tandem with the prolonged effect of the 1997-2005 recession, this paper investigates Singapore contractors' attitudes towards environmental sustainability. Data were collected from 34 interviews with senior management of large and medium-sized general building contractors and the firms' archival records. The results show that the majority of the contractors embrace positive attitudes towards environmental sustainability. The respective contractors explicitly express their environmental drives by incorporating keywords such as 'quality', 'sustainability' and 'environmental and social benefits' into their firms' mission statements. The results also show that three environmental-related measures implemented by all contractors are: (i) stricter housekeeping procedures in construction sites; (ii) stricter wastage rates for construction materials; and (iii) greater focus on Just-In-Time delivery to minimise materials deterioration due to inappropriate site storage.
