  • 지구 온난화가 심화됨에 따라 도시지역에서 집중호우에 의한 침수 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 지구온난화에 의한 기후변화의 변동성은 IPCC 5차 보고서(2014)에서도 기술되어 있으며 기후변화에 의한 강수 패턴의 변화, 수문시스템의 변화 등 수자원 불확실성의 증가에 대하여 시사하고 있다. 최근 서울이나 부산과 같은 대도시의 관로의 수용 범위를 초과하는 국지성 호우가 발생하여 큰 피해를 초래하였다. 도시지역의 침수는 1차적으로 우수관거 통수능 부족에 의한 내수범람이 발생하고 방류구와 인접한 하천의 외수범람이 발생한다. 인구가 밀집되어 있는 도시지역에서 발생하는 침수는 인명피해 뿐만 아니라 도로, 교량, 지하공간 침수 및 파괴를 복구하기 위한 사회 경제적 피해를 동반하기 때문에 농촌, 산지 지역에 비해 피해량이 크다. 또한 도시개발에 인한 불투수면적 증가, 강우 유출시 출구부까지의 짧은 도달시간, 배수시설의 통수능부족 등 다양한 원인이 침수피해를 증대시킨다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우에 취약한 지역을 선정하고 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 내수침수 모의를 실시하였다. 또한 시범지역에 관로 개량, 우수저류지 설치, 우수펌프장 설치와 같은 홍수방어대안을 적용하여 각각의 침수모의를 실시하였으며 해당유역을 격자별로 분할하여 대안별 침수데이터를 추출하였다. 또한 격자별로 가장 적합한 구조적 홍수방어대안을 제시하기 위해 침수시간, 최대침수심, 구조물 설치비용을 평가요소로 이용하였으며 MCDM 기법 중 하나인 Compromise Programming 기법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일 유역이라도 지리적 여건에 따라 대안의 선호도가 다르다는 점을 반영하고자 하였으며, Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision Making을 적용하여 지역특성을 고려한 홍수방어대안을 선정하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate bag purchasing behaviors and design preferences of male and female adult consumers, and to find the differences depending on sex and age variable. A survey was conducted on 400 male and female adults from 20s to 50s. The questionnaire consisted of bag purchase behaviors, bag design preferences, and the subjects' demographic characteristics. The data were analyzed by Cronbach's α, factor analysis, x2 test and t-test using SPSS. The results were as follows. First, as bag selection criteria, four factors (practicality, symbolism, aesthetics, and economics) were derived, and adult consumers considered economics as the most important among the factors. As for purchasing information sources, three factors (media, human resources, and store) were derived, and adult consumers considered human resources and store information sources more important than media. The main motive for purchasing bags was age and damage of the owned products, and Internet shopping malls were the most common purchasing place. The average annual cost of purchasing bags was 100,000 to 300,000 won, and the frequency of purchase was about once a year. Second, as bag preference images, four factors (individual, romantic, active, and classic image) were derived, and adult consumers preferred classic images the most. The shoulder bag was the most preferred as the bag shape, and black was the most preferred bag color. For the material, natural leather was the most preferred, and for the size, medium size was the most preferred. Third, bag purchasing behaviors and design preferences showed many significant differences according to the sex and age of the consumers. Therefore, the results of this study suggests that bag companies need to establish product development and marketing strategies in consideration of differences according to the sex and age group of adult consumers.

  • Safety is built in to the activities of the prudent ship operator. Ant investment made towards this end is likely to have a measurable payback in positive terms. That there must be an investment is inevitable, because the industry at large has let things slip too far too long. Those who have not allowed it to slip too far and who are the first to recognize that safety, far from costing money, in the long term actually preserves it, will be wieners. Too many seem to have lost sight of the fact that every one hundred pennies saved is a full one hundred pennies profit. Every hundred pennies of additional revenue contributes no more then fifteen pence to profit. Environmental protection is not so simple, nor so financially attractive. Man needs the minerals of the Earth as well as the products of the soil and sea survive. We(the human race) are still not in the position, politically or financially to manage the Earth's assets without causing damage. The evidence of our damage is evident in many different parts of the Glove and will in some cases haunt several generations still to come. We have learned a lot, and continue to learn, but despite the best intentions some Government needs for their people will be at the expense of people in another region for the foreseeable future. We sailors ply the seas with the raw materials of commerce as well as the finished and part finished goods. It does not always sit well to consider too deeply what effect the ship and the cargo it carries is having, or may have, on some communities, or on the sea through which sail. None my generation can hold up his head and claim to be without blame in the pollution of the seas. Times are changing though, and Governments are turning their attention more to the protection of our planet and its precious resources. This will not be without cost. The investment will have to be made not for our benefit, but for the benefit of generations yet to come, however the cost will have to be borne by society as a whole, not by the shipping community alone. The debate surrounding the choice between engineering our way to a better tomorrow, or adapting our working practices will continue. Each method has the same goal as its target and as long as we attain the goal does it really matter how we get there?

  • 인간은 생활환경을 확장하고 그 환경의 질을 향상시키기 위해 문명화를 진전시키는 과정에서 많은 자연환경을 양적으로 잠식하고, 그 질을 저하시켜 왔다. 이러한 인간활동을 많은 생물종을 사라지게 하였고, 인간자신도 그 자신의 존재를 위협하는 환경문제에 직면하게 하였다. 이러한 사실을 인식한 인간의 반응이 복원생태학의 성립과 발전으로 표출되고 있다. 복원생태학은 온전한 자연의 체계와 기능을 모방하여 훼손된 환경을 치유하는 환경기술이다. 이러한 복원은 훼손의 정도에 따라 처리방법이 다르고, 그 규모나 목표에 따라서도 그 종류를 구분할 수 있다. 따라서 그 시행을 위해서는 생태학적 진단이 필요하고, 그러한 진단결과에 기초하여 처방할 때 비용과 노력을 절약하고 상정한 목표에도 도달할 수 있다. 이런 점에서 복원생태학은 기존의 생태학에 토대를 두고 현실세계를 탐구하는 실용학문이며, 그에 더하여 기존의 생태학적 연구를 통하여 획득된 개념과 이론을 현장에서 검증하는 하나의 현장실습인 것이다. 인간은 지구라는 생태계에서 생활하면서 어떤 면에서 무리하게 자연을 이용하였지만, 어떤 면에서 불가피하게 자연을 훼손해 왔다. 더구나 이러한 이용과 훼손은 앞으로도 지속될 전망이다. 그러한 현상이 인류의 생존을 위협하는 환경문제를 몰고 오는 오늘의 시점에서 우리는 아무런 대비없이 그 생활을 계속 이어갈 수는 없다. 불필요한 이용을 줄이고, 부족한 부분을 보충하며, 취약한 부분을 보완하는 생태학적 복원을 추구하여 다가 올 미래의 환경위기에 대비하여야 한다. 이런 점에서 복원생태학은 미래를 위한 생태학으로 인정될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 최근 들어 반복되는 수해로 인해 인명피해, 재산피해, 복구비가 급격히 증가되고 있어, 막대한 사회적 비용이 지불되고 있다. 수해복구나 방지를 위한 정부투자액의 효율적인 집행을 위해서 체계적인 사업계획 및 관리가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 또한 이상기후로 인해 발생하는 홍수피해액의 규모가 국내총생산(GDP) 대비 피해액 비율이 약 1%에 이르고 있어 향후 동일지역에서 반복적인 수해 발생을 억제할 수 있는 효율적인 치수사업 관리가 필요하다. 이를 위한 적정투자규모의 예산 확보 및 예산 집행의 효율성 극대화를 유도하기 위해서 과학적이고 합리적인 정책판단기준이 제시되어야 한다. 현재 수해방지사업은 건교부, 행자부, 농림부, 환경부, 산림청, 해양수산부, 기상청, 과학기술부 등 전 정부부처가 사업을 추진하고 있으나, 하천의 상 하류에 걸쳐 추진되는 치수사업의 일관성을 유지하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Web기반의 GIS기술을 활용하여 전국단위의 하천치수사업의 종합적 관리기법을 개발하여 국가예산의 적절한 집행과 관리를 지원하며, 사업관리에 있어 중앙부처와 지방청간의 정보교류의 장을 마련하고자 한다.

  • 기후변화에 의한 홍수 특성의 변화에 적극적으로 대처하기 위한 대규모 댐 건설의 추진이 환경성, 경제성 등과 같은 문제로 난해해 짐에 따라 강변저류지 또는 유수지 시설이 유역내 홍수 분담 측면에서 포함되기 시작하였다. 강변저류지는 주하도에 인접되고 제방으로 둘러쌓인 공간으로 홍수기에 월류구조물을 통하여 인위적으로 범람시키는 지역이다. 강변저류지 직하류에서의 홍수저감효과는 설계홍수수문곡선의 형상, 강변저류지의 저류용량 등에 추가하여 월류부 구조물의 형식, 길이 및 월류턱 표고에 따라 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 표본지구인 청미천에서 주어진 수문곡선에 관하여 월류제 형식과 수문 형식에 따른 홍수저감효과를 비교코자 하였다. 월류부에서 수문형식이 월류제 형식보다 홍수저감효과가 더 크지만 수문형식에 의한 홍수저감율은 공학적 견지에서 보면 의미있는 수치가 아니기 때문에 수문형식을 선정할 때는 초기사업비, 운영 관리 비용 등을 신중히 고려해야 하는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • The Earth's temperature has risen $0.76^{\circ}C$ (degree) during last 100 years which Implies a sudden rise, compare with the 4oC (degrees) rise through out the past 20,000 years. If the volume of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emission continues at the current level, the average temperature of the Earth will rise by $1^{\circ}C$ (degree) by 2030 with the further implication that the temperature of Earth will rise by $2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ (degrees) every 100 years. Therefore, as we are aware that the temperature of the glacial epoch was $8{\sim}9^{\circ}C$ (degrees) lower than the present time, we can easily predict that the above temperature rises can be potentially disastrous for human life. Every country in the world recognizes theseriousness of the current climate change and adopted a convention on climate change in June 1992 in Rio. The COP1 was held in March 1995 in Berlin and the COP3 in Dec. 1997 in Kyotowhere the target (2008-2012) was determined and the advanced nations' reduction target (5.2%, average)was also agreed at this conference. Korea participated in the GHG reduction plan which required the world's nations to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Ratification of the Kyotoprotocol and the followup requirement to introduce an international emissions trading scheme will require severe reductions in GHGs and considerable economic consequences. USA are still refusing to fully ratify the treaty as the emission reductions could severely damage the economies of these countries. In order to estimate the exact $CO_2$ emission, this study statistically analyzed $CO_2$ emission of each country based on the following variables : level of economic power and scientific development, the industrial system, productivity and energy efficiency.

  • The pesticide is raising public interest in the world, because it causes damage to an environmental pollution and the human health remaining agricultural products and an ecosystem, in spite of the advantages. Particularly, each country restricts the residual pesticide and induces observance about the safety and usage standard so that they can control the amount of pesticide used and defend the safety of agricultural products. The habitual practice for the analysis of the residual pesticide depends on GC (gas chromatography), HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy), which triturate the fixed quantity of samples, abstract and purify as a suitable organic solvent. These methods have the highly efficient in aspects of sensitivity and accuracy. On the other hand, they need the high cost, time consuming, much effort, expensive equipment and the skillful management. Carbofuran is highly toxic by inhalation and ingestion and moderately toxic by dermal absorption. As with other carbamate compounds, it is metabolized in the liver and eventually excreted in the urine. The half-life of carbofuran on crops is about 4 days when applied to roots, and longer than 4 days if applied to the leaves. This research was conducted to develop immunoassay for detecting carbofuran residue quickly on the basis of surface plasmon resonance and to evaluate the measurement sensitivity. Gold chip used was CM5 spreaded dextran on the surface. An applied antibody to Immunoassay was GST (glutathione-s-transferase). The association and the dissociation time were 176 second and 215 second between GST and carbofuran. The total analysis time using surface plasmon resonance was 13 minutes including regeneration time, on the other hand HPLC and GC/MS was 2 hours usually. The minimum detection limit of a permissible amount for carbofuran in the country is 0.1 ppm. The immunoassay method using surface plasmon resonance was 0.002 ppm.

  • The problems caused by new biological organisms in Ogasawara Island of Japan include : (1) loss of native species' habitats and extinction of native species due to the multiplication of invasive species; (2) reduction of native species and confusion in the food chain in result of invasive species' predation; (3) confusion in genes due to hybridization of new and native plants; and (4) destruction of ecosystem and erosion of earth due to rapid increase of invasive species. The natural ecosystem of preserved areas in Korea is constantly confused and destroyed by new animals and plants, but Korea does not has any solutions because new animals and plants rarely affect human lives. Invasive species are manually introduced by humans and are considered disasters caused by humans. Korea is in desperate need of campaigns as the general public does not understand the seriousness of the destruction and confusion of natural ecosystem caused by new biological organisms and their indirect/direct influences on humans. It is necessary to evaluate the biological characteristics, ecological influence, and harms of invasive species in preserved areas to establish a system to manage invasive species and plan the priority removal of species that are highly harmful and locally distributed. Manual removal and suppression of new biological organisms that cause problems is effective, but it takes cost, effort, and time. Therefore, we would need to research and develop the most efficient and effective techniques and measures to manage invasive species in our ecosystem.

  • Recently, the number of jellyfish has been rapidly grown because of the global warming, the increase of marine structures, pollution, and etc. The increased jellyfish is a threat to the marine ecosystem and induces a huge damage to fishery industries, seaside power plants, and beach industries. To overcome this problem, a manual jellyfish dissecting device and pump system for jellyfish removal have been developed by researchers. However, the systems need too many human operators and their benefit to cost is not so good. Thus, in this paper, the design, implementation, and experiments of autonomous jellyfish removal robot system, named JEROS, have been presented. The JEROS consists of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), a device for jellyfish removal, an electrical control system, an autonomous navigation system, and a vision-based jellyfish detection system. The USV was designed as a twin hull-type ship, and a jellyfish removal device consists of a net for gathering jellyfish and a blades-equipped propeller for dissecting jellyfish. The autonomous navigation system starts by generating an efficient path for jellyfish removal when the location of jellyfish is received from a remote server or recognized by a vision system. The location of JEROS is estimated by IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and GPS, and jellyfish is eliminated while tracking the path. The performance of the vision-based jellyfish recognition, navigation, and jellyfish removal was demonstrated through field tests in the Masan and Jindong harbors in the southern coast of Korea.
