The purpose of this study is to provide the conservation management direction about cultural landscape of the traditional villages in the area of Huizhou through the importance-performance analysis. The results of the survey on the importance - performance of 261 people who had many visits to various cultural landscapes of Huizhou villages such as Hongchun, Sidichun etc. are as follows. It was appeared that the item of 'good air' is the highest level of importance and satisfaction and is best condition. The item of 'historical conservation' is the high level of importance, but the level of satisfaction is low, so continuous improvement is necessary. The item of 'Old garden conservation' has high satisfaction but low importance, so it needs to improve its importance through subsequent improvement. The item of 'Keeping of old cemetary and old tower' has low importance and satisfaction but it is above average, so continuous maintenance is needed. The items of 'Preservation of stone gate' and 'Preservation of famous man's birth house' all have slightly higher satisfaction and lower importance. Both items are highly satisfied with their importance, so they should avoid excessive efforts and maintain the present status. Satisfaction with the item of 'water environment and water quality' was the lowest, and the problem of the present condition is the most serious, and a major improvement is needed. The importance and satisfaction of 'Commercial development of old villages' was the lowest among all items. This item is causing serious problems and should provide an overall improvement way to drastically improve the importance and satisfaction. Concentration is necessary to improve the environment of the whole villages, to protect the ecological plants and animals in old villages, to transfer and improve the culture of old villages, to maintain sustainability of the villages, and to protect old temple and old rock in old villages. As the level of satisfaction with sustainability is the lowest in the part of 'Concentrate here', there is a great concern about sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on sustainability and concentrate on sustainable development.

This study empirically examines the impact of firms' environmental (E), social (S), and governancial (G) factors on their short-term and long-term values. To measure firms' non-financial performance, we use ESG performance grades published by KCGS (Korea Corporate Governance Service). We employ stock log return as the proxy of each firm's short-term value, and Tobin's Q ratio as that of its long-term value. From a series of regression analyses, we find each of the ESG factors generally has a negative impact on stock return while it has a positive impact on the Tobin's Q ratio. These results imply that firms' effort for enhancing their non-financial performance may adversely affect their financial performance in a short term; but in the long-term point of view, firms' values increase through their good images engraved by their respective social, environmental and governancial efforts. In addition, we compare the relative strength of impact among E, S, G, the three non-financial factors on the firms' value measured in Tobin's Q ratio, and find that S (social factor) and G (governancial factor) give statistically significant impact on the firms' value respectively. This result tells us it would be advised to strategically embed CSV (creating shared value) pursuing both of profits and social responsibility in the firms' future agenda. While E (environmental factor) is shown to be an insignificant factor for the firms' value, it should be emphasized as a major concern by all the stakeholders in order to form a sound business ecosystem.

우리나라에서 항만은 국가전체 교역 물동량의 90% 이상을 처리하고 있어 경제적 중요성이 높으며, 항만건설에 대한 막대한 투자와 국가경쟁력에 미치는 영향을 고려한다면 항만의 지속가능한 운영은 중요한 이슈이다. 하지만 항만의 경쟁력과 지속가능성을 다룬 기존의 연구들은 항만의 시설규모, 항만효율성 등의 항만 내 물류활동을 중심으로 연구가 이루어져 외부환경변화에 대처하고 중장기적인 지속가능한 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해서는 항만이용자들의 기대와 요구뿐만 아니라 지역사회 및 환경적 요인 등의 외부적인 환경변화를 고려한 항만경쟁력 확보 방안에 관한 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 주변지역과 경제적, 사회적, 환경적 연결성을 가지고 있는 항만의 지속가능한 경쟁력 확보를 위한 유럽연합(EU)의 SuPorts와 PPRISM 사례를 분석하여 외부환경변화, 공급사슬 내 성과를 고려한 중장기적인 관점에서의 성과측정지표 개발의 필요성과 항만별 특성에 맞는 평가기준의 필요성, 국내실정에 맞는 항만의 지속가능한 성과측정 방안에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다.

자본주의가 우리 사회에 가져다준 효익도 많지만 부작용도 적지 않다. 시장경제체제가 가지는 비효율적 경쟁, 소득불평등, 사회적 배제의 문제를 개선하고 지속가능한 성장을 추구하기 위해 포용적 자본주의가 제안되고 있다. 그 일환으로 사회적기업이 자본주의의 위기를 극복할 수 있는 대안경제로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구는 2007년 사회적기업육성법 제정 이후 우리나라 사회적기업의 성장과정을 양적 지표로 분석하고 사회적기업의 성장이 갖는 의미를 분석해보았다. 현재 우리나라의 사회적기업은 774개소(2013년 1월 기준)로 역사가 짧음에도 불구하고 수적으로는 크게 성장하였다. 이러한 성장의 배경에는 최근의 금융위기 등을 겪으면서 정부가 취약계층의 일자리를 늘이기 위해 사회적기업에 다양한 지원을 펼쳤기 때문이다. 그러나 한편에서는 사회적기업에 대한 정부의 지원이 종료되면 사회적기업은 자생력이 없어 지속가능하기 어려울 것이라는 주장도 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인증 사회적기업 전체를 대상으로 2007~2010년의 경제적 사회적 성과를 종단분석하여 사회적기업의 성과와 그 의미를 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 우리나라 사회적기업은 총량적으로 성장하여 사회적 경제의 발전에 기여하고 있으며 개별기업 차원에서도 지속적으로 성장하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정부가 재정지원하는 일자리사업 대부분이 재정 투입 대비 효과성이 낮고 재정지원 종료 이후 지속가능하기 어렵다는 점과 비교할 때 사회적기업은 사업성과가 양호할 뿐만 아니라 생산적 복지를 실현하는 수단으로 적극적으로 기능하고 있는 것이다. 그러나 본 연구의 결과는 사회적기업의 재무제표 및 사업보고서 상에 제시된 경제적 수치자료로 성과를 분석함으로써 사회적 성과가 간과되고 있다. 사회적기업이 그 정의에 부합되는 성과를 창출하고 있는지를 살펴보기 위해서는 경제적 성과뿐 아니라 사회적 환경적 성과를 통합적으로 평가할 수 있는 도구의 마련이 필요하며 이를 기반으로 사회적기업의 종합적인 성과가 제시되어야 함을 연구의 한계로 제시하였다.

Concrete continues to be the most consumed construction material in the world, only next to water. Due to rapid increase in construction activities, Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste constitutes a major portion of total solid waste production in the world. It is important to assess the amount of C&D waste being generated and analyse the practices needed to handle this waste from the point of waste utilization, management and disposal addressing the sustainability aspects. The depleting natural resources in the current scenario warrants research to examine viable alternative means, modes and methods for sustainable construction. This study reports processing Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA) using a rod mill, for the first time. Parameters such as amount of C&D waste for processing, nature of charge and duration of processing time have been optimized for obtaining good quality RCA. Performance of RCA based concrete and performance enhancement techniques of 50% RCA based concrete are discussed in this paper.

This study examined the influence of ESG performance on the firm value of Chinese equipment manufacturing companies over the period from 2011 to 2020. The analysis indicated that while ESG performance exerted a negative influence on firm value, this impact was not statistically significant. These findings substantiate the Institutional Difference Hypothesis (IDH), which posits that country-specfic institutional variations sifnificantly shape the strategic decision-making of organizations. When disaggregating the three components of ESG, variations in the results were observed both for overall ESG performance and for each individual dimension. Of the three dimension elements, the environmental (E) and governance (G) facets had a negative bearing, whereas the social (S) facet had a positive influence. Notably, only the governance dimension (G) demonstrated a statistically significant influence. These outcomes affirm the institutional difference hypothesis, illustrating divergent results across distint ESG dimensions.

Since the industrialization of swine production in the late 1900s, swine farms in the United States, as well as in Europe, have largely become consolidated. Pig farms became larger in size but fewer in number, with 91% of market pigs being produced by large operations with 5,000 or more pigs on-site in the US, and only 3% of the total utilized agricultural land representing organic farming. Such change in the market made it difficult for small farmers to stay competitive, forcing them to find alternative ways to reduce the cost of production and increase profit using the outdoor production system. In contrast to the indoor confinement system, outdoor production system uses pasture-based units and/or deep-bedded hoop structures that promote animal welfare and environmental sustainability with a lower capital investment. In accord with the growing concern for animal and environmental welfare and food safety by the consumers, small farmers practicing an outdoor production system are seeing increased opportunities for marketing their products in the pork niche market. Unlike the general belief that the reproductive and growth performance measures of the outdoor sows and piglets are poorer in comparison with the animals reared indoors, studies showed that there was no significant difference in the performance measures, and some traits were even better in outdoor animals. Improved reproductive and production traits can increase the sustainability of outdoor farming. Present study reviewed the recent studies comparing the performance measures, meat quality and health of indoor and outdoor animals, as well as the efforts to improve the outdoor production system through changes in management such as hut types and breed of animals.

A dimensionally stable anode based on the $RuO_2$ electrocatalyst is an important electrode for generating chlorine. The $RuO_2$ is well-known as an electrode material with high electrocatalytic performance and stability. In this study, sonoelectrodeposition is proposed to synthesize the $RuO_2$ electrodes. The electrode obtained by this novel process shows better electrocatalytic properties and stability for generating chlorine compared to the conventional one. The high roughness and outer surface area of the $RuO_2$ electrode from a new fabrication process leads to increase in the chlorine generation rate. This enhanced performance is attributed to the accelerated mass transport rate of the chloride ions from electrolyte to electrode surface. In addition, the electrode with sonodeposition method showed higher stability than the conventional one, which might be explained by the mass coverage enhancement. The effect of sonodeposition time was also investigated, and the electrode with longer deposition time showed higher electrocatalytic performance and stability.
