Technology is one of the major competitive advantages for small and medium enterprises (SME), especially ones operating in the manufacturing sector. Increasing technological capabilities is the basis for SME's business performance improvement. The main problem of SME's is a limitation in the areas of production facilities, technology, and human resources. Some of these constraints cause a decline in business performance and competitiveness of SME's. In this case analysis of technology components has to be carried out to determine the effect of technology on SME's business performance improvement. This study aims to measure the components of technology and to analyze the influence of each technology component on business performance of rattan processing SME's in South Kalimantan. The assessment is carried out on the technoware, humanware, inforware, and orgaware components using the technometric method (UNESCAP). Business performance is measured through a combination of financial and non-financial aspects deducted from financial and marketing figures. Analysis of the influence of technology components on business performance of SME's is done using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Partial Least Square software (PLS). Data is collected through interviews and questionnaires from 21 rattan processing SME's in South Kalimantan that produce rattan furnitures. The results show that the value of the contribution of technology (TCC) to the performance of rattan processing SME's in South Kalimantan is still quite low. Analysis of the results shows a direct influence of technoware and humanware on business performance, while orgaware influences business performance indirectly through humanware.

Finally, Musan-Bongdong section in Kyeong-Ui corridor opened on 11. DEC.2007, which is a historical event, because this connection means the restoration of 56 yrs' disconnection since 1951 and also starting point launching to connect china, Mongolia, Russia for continental railway logistic infrastructure. This is also one of master plans about the northern line in TAR, carried out by UNESCAP, so this study will touch up each country's railway status and the next tasks related with trans-continental railway such as North Korea, Russia, China. Also, this study reveal a mid-long term development strategy to improve the North Korea railroad for a continent rail link and international railroad transportation between China and Russia, and also checks the way of confrontation to the domestic infrastructure for the activation of the continent railway and the north and south, investigates concretely how to establish TAR northern part routes as soon as possible.

E-Business Platform for SMEs in GMS Countries(GMSEB) is a E-business service portal which based on Yunnan, face to ASEAN, connect with China's mainland. lt is established by Kunming Dongxun Sic&Tech Co.,Ltd and E-Business Centre of Yunnan University of Financial & Economics, who get supports from UNESCAP, Science and Technology Department of Yunnan Provincial and Yunnan SMEs Bureau. The portal will bulid a B2B & B2C E-business and. ASP portal to provide service of e-business and enterprise management informatization according with the different languages and situation to China and GMS countries. The paper starts with analysis of the policy in China of promoting GMS cooperation and exchanges, importance of Yunnan and cultural universality in GMS countries. It expounds the necessity of establishing such a regional e-commerce platform. The project explores how to develop the model of e-business and enterprise management informationization for SMEs under the condition of weak economic strength and scarcity of Information Technology talents. To promote the SMEs in GMS countries participate in the integration with the global economy through the international SMEs'E-business Platform, make a fairly rapid progress by full play to its advantages.

The continuing pace of technological change and the trend toward larger and faster ships is evident as shipping lines compete in seeking economies of scale in the global market and ports. become increasingly reliant on sophisticated equipment. Across the Asia and Pacific region some of the worlds most modern container ships are calling at an extensive network of mainline and feeder ports. This paper shows that during the period from 1999 to 2011, Asian container trade is expected to continue to increase more rapidly than the world average, i.e., 7.2 per cent per annum compared with the world average of 6.3 per cent. It is forecast that the total volumes of international containers handled at the ports in Asia and the Pacific will increase at an average growth rate of 7,2 per cent per annum. In order to handle the anticipated port container traffic in 2011, new container berths are required in nearly every country in the Asia and the Pacific region. This will entail very significant capital investment requirements. If countries in the UNESCAP region are to position their ports to meet the challenges of the next decade, there is an urgent need to implement more robust strategies to address important issues including prioritisation of port development projects, promotion of private sector participation in ports, emphasis on productivity and preparation for intermodal integration and logistics growth.

세계기상기구(WMO)에 의하여 홍수예경보시스템의 평가를 위하여 개발된 MOFFS Ver.3의 개선을 위하여 특정유역의 홍수방어체계의 취약성을 평가하고 홍수방어시스템의 완성도를 높이기위한 DSS-FOP를 개발하였다. DSS-FOP는 지점별, 홍수사상별로 예보시스템 운영결과를 간단한 평가양식에 나타내는 시스템이며, 홍수방어구조물(Flood control infra)과 홍수조절운영(Flood control operation)으로 분류한다. 홍수방어구조물은 수문관측, 홍수방어구조물, 홍수조절지휘소로, 홍수조절 운영은 자료처리 및 전송, 홍수예측모형, 예경보발령의 총 6가지 주요평가항목과 하부의 23가지 세부평가항목으로 구성하였다. 점수부여체계는 최대점수, 목표점수, 성과점수, 부족점수, 취약점수의 산정을 통하여 구조물인프라와 운영측면에서의 시스템취약부분을 평가 진단할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 DSS-FOP를 이용하여 국내의 한강유역과 UN/ESCAP 태풍위원회의 회원국인 태국의 Khlong U-Taphao 유역을 대상으로 적용하고 그 결과를 비교 평가하였다. 한강유역의 경우 하천정보센터 신설 및 조직강화로 인적자원측면에서 높은 성과점수를 보였으며, 향후 수문레이더 설치 등으로 관측분야에서의 개선이 기대된다. 태국의 Khlong U-Taphao 유역의 경우 목표수준을 다소 조정할 필요가 있으며, 비상행동계획의 마련이 시급하다. 더불어 홍수방어구조물에 대한 지속적인 투자가 필요한 상황이다. 이러한 DSS-FOP의 평가결과는 국가별, 유역별, 호우사상별로 관리되며, 태풍위원회 회원국의 적용 및 기술지침의 작성을 위해 많은 평가 및 조사가 축적되어야 한다.

'Green growth' is the development strategy for the sustainable society through the harmony between the environment and economy. The 'green growth' was defined and accepted by UNESCAP and countries in Asia-Pacific region. OECD also accepted it as their new development policy. 'Green New Deal' was also proposed as a new social/economic policy to response three global crisis: environmental, resources and economic. Social and environmental sustainability are the most important principles of this policy. In Korea, however, the 'green growth' is redefined and used by the government and politicians as an economic policy to support the new technology on energy efficiency and renewable energy. In here, the definitions of green growth in the world and in Korea are analysed and compared, and new term is proposed. Green growth is the development policy to response environmental crisis (ie. climate changes) to transform the society to environmentally and socially sustainable one. The possible contribution of geomorphologic researches to green growth was also proposed.
