A sustainable building must produce an interior environment that is safe, healthy, comfortable and supportive of human performance and well-being. The medical human comfort: performance and productivity cost of unhealthy environment may cause much cost for healing. Research that buildings with daylight, fresh air, eco-materials and sustainable interior design are consistently rated as more comfortable and occupants performance, satisfaction and health. This study is to categorize systematically interior environmental design elements for improving sustainability with a view to developing an evaluation model of super high-rise apartment unit plans. With a literature survey and design guide lines concerning sustainable design elements, three hierarchical categorization levels of human, environment, energy and resources systems that consists of upper, middle, low design elements have been proposed. A total of 6 items have been suggested for middle level of categorization and 24 items for lower level. Finally a total of 107 design elements concerning the 24 items and their relationahips have been revealed. The needs for a systematic approach to interior environmental design for sustainability have been discussed.

자원수급의 불확실성이 점차 고조되고 있는 글로벌 상황에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해 전 세계적으로 효율적인 자원관리의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 자원관리 선진국들은 국가차원에서의 지속가능한 자원관리를 유도 및 지원하기 위해 자원이용의 효율성을 극대화하기 위한 법제도 마련 및 산업구조로의 전환을 촉진하고 있다. 한편, 국내의 경우 자원수급과 관련하여 국제환경에 매우 민감한 산업구조를 나타냄에 따라 국가 주도의 자원효율성의 획기적인 제고 방안 마련이 절실히 요구된다. 특히 자원 전과정에서의 자원의 효율적 이용을 위한 단계별 추구해야 할 방향과 구체적 실천방안에 대해 검토가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자원 전과정을 크게 생산계와 순환계로 구분하고 이에 따른 단계별 국내 자원관리의 현황 및 문제점, 이를 개선하기 위한 방향성 및 구체적 실천방안을 제시하였다.

세계 각국은 침체에 빠진 경제를 재건해야 하는 동시에 지구온난화로 촉발된 환경문제까지 고려해야 하는 상황에 놓였다. 이 같은 상황에서 기존의 다양한 선행 연구는 생산증가와 환경보호를 동시에 수용하는 녹색 생산성을 정확하게 분석하지 못한다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 녹색 생산성이라는 새로운 개념을 제시하고 그 도출 방법을 체계화하였다. 뿐만 아니라 녹색생산성에 대한 영향을 미치는 결정적 정책변수를 파악하기 위해 1단계 DEA 분석을 통한 생산성 지수를 비교하고, 이에 기초하여 2단계 붓트렙 회귀분석을 실시하여 그 결정요인을 분석하였다. 1단계 실증분석의 결과, 미국, 일본, 유럽연합에 비해 한국의 녹색 생산성 지표는 크게 미흡한 것으로 나타났으며, 그 원인을 찾기 위한 2단계의 회귀분석 결과, 국가총생산, 에너지집약도, 탄소집약도, 자본집약도, 노동집약도의 변수가 정부의 환경오염 감축 노력보다 중요한 것으로 나타났고, 이를 위해 요소투입형 생산구조에서 요소의 질적 고도화가 필요함을 지적하였다.

Purpose: Korea's construction industry has faced declining productivity and quality issues due to labor-intensive onsite construction and variables like weather, material price fluctuations, and labor shortages. The modular housing industry, introduced in Korea in 2003, offered benefits like reduced construction time and enhanced productivity through offsite manufacturing. However, its adoption remains limited due to high costs, quality concerns, and low consumer acceptance. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: This study explores the feasibility and impact of implementing smart factory technologies in the modular housing industry to overcome these barriers. Using survey data from 179 construction industry experts, the study employs frequency and regression analysis to identify key factors influencing the adoption of modular housing and the effectiveness of smart factories. Findings suggest that government-led educational programs and strong policy support are essential for successful implementation, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and improving quality. Conclusions: The study emphasizes the need for standardization of modular housing, deregulation of relevant laws, and increased public awareness to stimulate market growth and innovation. Policy recommendations include financial support for modular manufacturers transitioning to smart factories, ensuring stable supply volumes, and promoting the benefits of modular housing to consumers. Integrating smart factory technologies can lead to significant advancements in the modular housing industry, contributing to the sustainable development and modernization of Korea's construction sector.

Beef and dairy cattle are the primary ruminant livestock in Korea, but there is a serious shortage of both fresh and dry forages. Small areas of forage crops or pastures, unfavorable soil and climatic conditions, high costs for pasture production, low establishment and management technologies, etc. are the main factors limiting roughage production in Korea. To meet the roughage demand of cattle several suggestions are presented. About 845,000 ha of hilly area could be developed for pastureland. Almost the same area of paddy field, and more than 200,000 ha of reclaimed land could be used for pasture production. If all the potential area is developed for pastureland, the area could be extended to 10 times more than is presently used for pasture crops and pastureland. Productivity would be increased by developing new technologies of establishment and management. Silvo-pastoral systems should be introduced to Korea.

This paper represents a critical review of current the relationship between aquaculture and the environment, focusing on the development of marine aquaculture for conservation of resources and environment in Korea. Aquaculture has grown rapidly during the past few decades in Korea. This expansion was possibly because of the growing demand for aquatic products and the failure of the capture fishery to keep pace with the demand. Nevertheless, the aquaculture industry must counter criticisms about adverse environmental effects and lack of sustainability. The productivity of Korean aquaculture is decreasing by environmental pollution, is suffering difficulty because competitive power of the aquaculture industry is weak, external effects of aquiculture is giving negative effects to coastal fishery. Therefore, aquaculture must improve as environmentally sound aquaculture for fisheries sustainability, and intensive aquaculture of high density must convert by low input sustainable aquaculture. Finally, the aquaculture system of Korea has to change to aquaculture for conservation of non - renewable resources and environment, it may contribute to development of Korean fisheries.

A sustainable development in science, innovation, and technology requires a balanced distribution of scientific wealth in sub-country regions. This paper addresses the issue of geographical distribution of scientific wealth and its goal is to offer a framework to describe and measure the share of provinces in national scientific wealth. Our proposed model divides the indicators of scientific wealth into two groups, production and the use of scientific wealth. To evaluate this model, the scientific wealth of Iran was studied using recorded data on IRANDOC databases. Rich, average, and poor provinces were identified and the results showed that 70% of the scientific wealth belongs to 20% of the provinces. The findings can facilitate planning for a sustainable science and technology policy.
