Sustainability index was calculated to determine the best management for rice productivity under long-term inorganic fertilizer management's practices. It is based on nutrient index, microbiological index and crop index related to sustainability as soil function. Indicators for calculating sustainability index were selected by the comparison of soil properties and rice response in paddy soil with fertilization. Total twenty two indicators were determined to assess nutrient index, microbiological index and crop index in order to compare the effect of different fertilization. The indices were applied to assess the sustainability with different inorganic fertilizer treatments such as control, N, NK, NP, NPK, NPK+Si, and NPK+Compost. The long-term application of compost with NPK was the highest sustainability index value because it increased nutrient index, microbial index and crop index. The use of chemical fertilizers resulted in poor soil microbial index and crop index, but the treatments like NP, NPK, and NPK+Si were maintained sustainability in paddy soil. These results indicate that application of organic and chemical fertilizer could be a good management to improve rice sustainability in paddy soil.

Achieving sustainability targets on construction projects has increasingly become one of the prime strategies for construction organizations. To provide more detailed guidance on sustainability implementation on projects, Construction Industry Institute (CII) Research Team (RT) 304 developed a catalog of the Construction Phase Sustainability Actions (CPSAs). The primary objective of this paper was the development of two support tools, the CPSA Screening Tool and the CPSA Implementation Index, that could be used to enable efficient application of CPSAs, support sustainability-related decisions, and measure CPSA implementation and performance. The authors developed the tools in four stages: conceptual, detailed planning, tool programming, and testing. The tools were then demonstrated on a capital project to confirm their efficacy and applicability. This paper presents the background, inputs and outputs, and the algorithms of each tool. The CPSA Screening Tool can prioritize the CPSAs most relevant to a project; the CPSA Implementation Index enables continuous monitoring of implementation levels.

The purpose of this study is to assess the sustainability in 45 cities of all over Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk using weights and assessment system developed in leading research. The materials of assessment used statistical data and spatial data were standardized for the systematic result. The assessment score was established using the normal distribution from 25 to 125 for removal of the very smallest and maximum value. According to the results, Tongyeong was assessed the highest by 82.5 score in environmental sustainability index. In economical sustainability index, Pohang, Gumi, Changwon, Yangsan were more than 79 score but Busan, Daegu, Andong were less than 70 score. Ulsan, Geoje, Yangsan were assessed higher in society-institutional sustainability index and Jinju, Munkyeong, Changnyeong were showed higher than other cities by more 79 score in quality of life(QOL)'s sustainability index. In case of integrated sustainability index, Jinju that was the highest sustainability in QOL was assessed by first city. However, Ulsan was assessed the lowest city among others. Therefore cities which have high sustainability will prepare a politic investment program for maintaining current conditions. Cities which have low sustainability will grasp closely the environmental characteristics of urban and present the improvement direction through monitoring continuously. Overall, these results can be used as tools to assess the current cities and predict the future one. It is also necessary to establish a systematic urban planning for livable and sustainable city.

The number of manufacturing companies that demand the ability to assess sustainability in their manufacturing system is rapidly increasing. However, there are still difficulties in assessing their sustainability in manufacturing for decision-making since it is not easy to determine a single index of sustainability in an operational way. To address these difficulties, this paper proposes an operational guidance and system to assess sustainability of production plan as a single index. The IDEF0 model was defined to explain processes and their input, output, control, and mechanism for sustainability assessment. A prototype system was developed based on the concepts presented in the IDEF0 model, and applied to a case study. To conclude, the prototype system proposed in this paper can help manufacturing companies assess sustainability of their production plans and make a decision using a single value resulted from that assessment.

Assessment of sustainable production on a cropland can help to determine the most proper management practices. In this study, we evaluated the sustainable production on paddy field treated with green manure crops using sustainability index which based on nutrient index, microbiological index, and crop index related to nutrient-supplying capacity. Especially choosing appropriate indicators from a minimum data set (MDS) were used the principal components analysis (SI-2) as well as expert opinion (SI-1) usually used in sustainability index. Six treatments including the two tillage treatments and two green manure crops were investigated as follows; (i) moldrotary + rotary tillage without green manure crop (Con), with (ii) hairy vetch (Con-HV), and (iii) hairy vetch + green barely (Con-HV+GB), (iv) rotary tillage without green manure crop (Rot), with (ii) hairy vetch (Rot-HV), and (iii) hairy vetch + green barly (Rot-HV+GB). Con-HV and Rot-HV in SI-1 were maintained sustainability while Rot-HV and Rot-HV+GB in SI-2. Especially, treatments (Con and Rot) without green manure crops were more unsustainable than with green manure crops because of the low value of microbiological and crop index than with green manure crops. Meanwhile, sustainability indices and grain yield had the high correlation values ($R^2=0.756$ and 0.928 in SI-1 and SI-2, respectively). These results meant that application of green manure crops such as hairy vetch could improve both yield and soil quality in paddy.

지속가능한 수자원 이용과 관리를 위해서는 유역 내에서 진행되고 있는 수자원과 관련된 활동들이 지속가능한 개발의 개념에 부합하는지 여부를 판단해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 유역의 수자원 이용과 관리에 영향을 미치는 수문, 수질, 사회, 경제 및 환경 요인을 고려한 평가지수가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수자원의 지속가능성을 평가할 수 있는 지표들을 선정하고 이들을 통합한 수자원 지속가능성 지수(Water Resources Sustainability Index, WRSI)를 개발하였다. WRSI를 구성하는 구성요소의 중요도(Weight)는 계층적 분석기법(Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP)을 사용하여 결정하였다 수자원의 지속가능성을 세부적으로 평가하기 위하여 WRSI를 경제적 효율성, 사회적 공평성, 환경적 보전성, 유지관리능력 등 4개 세부기준으로 구분하였다. 세부지수의 구성 지표는 유역조사, 사회 및 경제 통계, 여론조사 및 관련된 선행 연구결과를 분석하고 적합성을 평가한 후 선정하였다. WRSI 구성요소들의 중요도는 127명의 전문가들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 결정하였다. 세부지수와 구성 지표의 중요도 분석결과는 수자원의 지속 가능한 이용을 위해서 수자원 이용의 효율성과 공평성 증대, 하천 수질을 향상시켜 친수 기능의 복원이 중요하다는 것을 나타냈다. 또한, 수자원 분야에 지속적으로 적정 재원의 투입이 필요하며, 수자원 정책 결정에 대한 주민들의 참여가 필요하다는 것을 나타냈다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of municipal sustainability policy efforts on citywide $CO_2$ emissions. 25 cities in the U.S.A., which offer data on $CO_2$ emissions and are included in the top 50 largest cities in the U.S.A. according to its estimated population, were selected as study cities. This study utilizes the Sustainable Cities Seriously Index of Portney and selects data for the index at the city level. For analysis, this study employs correlation analysis, and OLS regression analysis. The results show that each city has around 30 sustainability policies and emits $12.76tCO_2$ per year on average. In addition, when the number of sustainability policies increases by one, the amount of $CO_2$ per capita decreases by $0.7tCO_2$. This means that the more cities employ sustainability policies, the less $CO_2$ those cities emit. The results of this study support the idea that active efforts on behalf of municipal governments toward the development of sustainability policies are needed to handle citywide $CO_2$ emissions.
