This paper intends to suggest the positive, ecological vision of sustainability in Karen Hesse's Out of the Dust that Billie Jo Kelby recovers herself through her readjustment of interior consciousness and outer environment in her tragic situations caused by the Dust Bowl. In spite of her desires for happiness and affluence of home, she loses her mother and brother, and her musical talent as a pianist, and lies in self-abandonment. But she finally raises up herself with her courage and patience, reconciliating with the nature and ameliorating the community by taking care of the devastated landscapes. Hence it is appropriate to approach the loss-recovery process of nature and consciousness with ecological solutions, The Dust Bowl breaks down human mind and body, and eventually leads to the situations of despairs and death. Hesse proposes the primary solution that humans should reconstruct their interior consciousness and participate in recovering the nature because humans are inevitably linked with nature. In this novel, the nature takes a dynamic and active role as a catalyst, reconciling the self with other humans and settling with the conflicting situations in history and culture. This verse novel as an active, self-ordering, and corrective process gives the more intense ecological message. As Hesse defines the setting of Dirty Thirties as a channel of energy, she creates the utmost effects of ecological process that human and environment are part of a total situation, representing the transactional formulation, each conditioned by conditioning to the other. Therefore Billie Jo takes her part as an interpreter and actualizes herself, understanding the nature with metaphor and symbol. Eventually Billie Jo realizes that she should rebuild her environment not out of the dust but in the dust, accepting the reality of Dust Bowl.

The purpose of this study was to contribute to adolescents'welfare by investigating an actual condition of harmful environment and finding helpful ones. A total of 1125 questionnaires were used for the final data analysis. The study revealed the following results. 1. When it comes to spatial environment, adolescents go to PC rooms most frequently among facilities. They showed that the degree of use of harmful facilities is extremely low. The study revealed that frequency of exposure to harmful environment can be reduced more efficiently if adolescents are made to realize the harmfulness than when they are simply made to follow strict regulations. Significant differences were found in spatial environment according to gender and residence. 2. When it comes to informational environment, TV had an enormous influence on adolescent and they were exposed to computer at an early stage than expected. The frequency to see pornography was on the higher increase than ever, which showed outstanding difference according to gender. Also, pornography was mainly spread through friends.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel modeling approach called Services Ecosystem that applies the concept of ecosystems in ecology to Service-Oriented Software Development and Integration. For this purpose, an ecological system for software systems is proposed for the emerging Service-Oriented Computing paradigm, describing how participants interact with each other within their environments. Three emerging concepts, Service-Oriented Programming, Software Factories, and Service Grid, are employed to explain biotic and abiotic environments. Based upon the Services Ecosystem model, we demonstrate Services Ecosystem Model transformations by using a case example. The Services Ecosystem model is a novel approach for envisioning the Service-Oriented Computing paradigm in terms of an ecosystem in which the roles/perspectives of each participant and their relationships/interactions to environments are clearly described with a holistic view.

This study aims to develop strategic diagnosis framework of performance by identifying and analysing the dynamics of the technology commercialization ecosystem in innovative region. To achieve the purpose of this study, the systems thinking approach is used. The systems thinking approach connects feedback structure and behavior more explicitly to diagnosis vicious feedback loop in the regional technology commercialization ecosystem. In terms of an ecological point of view, it will be possible to explore dominant feedback structure and find leverages to overcome the limitations of regional technology commercialization performance. The diagnosis of reenforcing and balancing feedback structure is based on the statistical analysis of the survey data which has been collected in a cluster random sampling method, targeting on the 200 firm located in the Pangyo and Daeduk region. The results from this research showed that the regional technology commercialization ecosystem was immature and faced limit to the growth. An important finding of this study was that regional technology commercialization ecosystem need to activation of startups and reinforcement of virtuous feedback structures of technology commercialization market systems.

Purpose: This study applies an ecological model to investigate individual and organizational levels to identify factors influencing the HRQOL of industrial employees. Methods: Totally, 133 industrial workers of a vehicle company were enrolled, who understood the purpose and consented to participate in the study. The collected data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe Test and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 20.0 program. Results: Hierarchical regression analysis showed that job Stress(β=-.44, p<.001), and hobbies(β=-.21, p=.013) were the major influencing factors of the Physical Component Summary of HRQOL, which had an additional explanatory power of 11.5%. The influencing factors for the Mental Component Summary of HRQOL were job stress(β=-.43, p<.001), and coronary artery disease(β=.17, p=.034) with an additional explanatory power of 13.5%. Conclusion: Results of this study, reveal that a multidimensional approach based on an ecological model is suitable as a health promotion intervention strategy to improve the HRQOL. We further propose developing a multi-dimensional health promotion program that consider the individual and organizational factors such as job stress, activation of in-house clubs, and assessing and managing of the risk of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases.

The emergy concept was used to valuate the contributions of a tidal flat ecosystem included in the fourth stage reclamation plan for the Youngsan River area to the Korean economy. Emergy contributions of the ecosystem were compared with those of economic valuations performed on the same ecosystem. The tidal flat ecosystem contributed 3.55 million EmW/ha annually. This, however, cannot be compared directly with those of the economic valuations because both methodologies approach the valuation of ecosystems in different perspectives. The emergy methodology is a donor-based valuation in which what goes into making a product or service is measured, while the economic valuation is a receiver-based approach in which human receivers determine the value of an ecosystem product or service. An emergy valuation was conducted for the three ecosystem functions included in the economic valuations to compare the results of both methodologies on the same basis. Fishery production and pollutants removal contributed 9.86 million EmW/ha/yr and 0.88 million EmW/ha/yr, respective1y. The conservation value of the tidal flat ecosystem was 3.55 million EmW/ha/yr. Overall, the emergy valuation that try to include works of both human and nature on the same basis resulted in higher economic contribution of the tidal flat ecosystem than that calculated by the economic methodologies in which only human works are measured based on the willingness-to-pay of people. This study showed that the emergy concept could provide an alternative tool for policy decision-making regarding utilization and conservation of ecosystems by approaching the ecosystem valuation from a different perspective than that of economic methodologies.

다양한 생태계 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 습지는 지속가능한 수질 개선 및 기후변화로 인한 영향의 완충작용 등 중요한 자연기반해법기술로 간주되어 왔다. 특히 토지이용 변화, 기후 변화 및 수문 변화에 따른 영향 저감을 위한 습지 보전의 중요성은 부각되었으나 경관규모에서의 거시적 자연기반해법기술 가능성의 검토가 미비하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 생태 네트워크 분석을 통한 공학적 솔루션 제공 가능성을 검토하기 위해 습지경관 가상 서식종의 이동모델을 기반으로 형성된 습지 생태네트워크를 이용하여 토지이용변화에 따른 생태네트워크의 구조적, 기능적 특성 (연결성, 이동 효율성 및 집단화 계수)이 어떻게 변화하는지 분석하였다. 이를 위해 습지 밀도가 다른 네 구역의 토지이용변화를 가정하여 두 가지의 초기 면적조건에 대한 각 구역의 동시다발적 토지이용변화를 통해 생태 네트워크 특성의 변화를 분석하였다. 모든 분석결과에서 습지밀도가 높은 구역이 파괴된 경우 생태네트워크의 평균 연결성과 이동 효율성이 크게 감소하였으며, 특히 허브 (매우 높은 연결성을 지니는 노드)가 포함된 구역의 습지가 제거될 때 급격한 감소가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 반면, 집단화 계수는 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이를 통해 토지이용변화에 따른 생태네트워크에 대한 영향을 평가할 수 있으며 특히 향후 매개중심성 분석을 추가하여 적합한 대체습지를 조성할 수 있는 자연기반의 공학적 솔루션을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Small streams, despite their rich ecosystems, face challenges in vegetation assessment due to the limitations of traditional, time-consuming methods. This study presents a groundbreaking approach, combining unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs), convolutional neural networks(CNNs), and the vegetation differential vegetation index (VDVI), to revolutionize both assessment and management of stream vegetation. Focusing on Idong Stream in South Korea (2.7 km long, 2.34 km² basin area)with eight diverse revetment methods, we leveraged high-resolution RGB images captured by UAVs across five dates (July-December). These images trained a ResNeXt101 CNN model, achieving an impressive 89% accuracy in classifying vegetation cover(soil,water, and vegetation). This enabled detailed spatial and temporal analysis of vegetation distribution. Further, VDVI calculations on classified vegetation areas allowed assessment of vegetation vitality. Our key findings showcase the power of this approach:(a) TheCNN model generated highly accurate cover maps, facilitating precise monitoring of vegetation changes overtime and space. (b) August displayed the highest average VDVI(0.24), indicating peak vegetation growth crucial for stabilizing streambanks and resisting flow. (c) Different revetment methods impacted vegetation vitality. Fieldstone sections exhibited initial high vitality followed by decline due to leaf browning. Block-type sections and the control group showed a gradual decline after peak growth. Interestingly, the "H environment block" exhibited minimal change, suggesting potential benefits for specific ecological functions.(d) Despite initial differences, all sections converged in vegetation distribution trends after 15 years due to the influence of surrounding vegetation. This study demonstrates the immense potential of UAV-based remote sensing and CNNs for revolutionizing small-stream vegetation assessment and management. By providing high-resolution, temporally detailed data, this approach offers distinct advantages over traditional methods, ultimately benefiting both the environment and surrounding communities through informed decision-making for improved stream health and ecological conservation.

기후위기가 심각해지는 현 시점에 서식처 보호 및 복원과 생물다양성 보전 등 도시공원의 생태적 기능의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 생태공원은 「도시공원 및 녹지 등에 관한 법률」과 「자연공원법」이 정한 공원의 유형에 해당하지 않아 전국적으로 조성되는 수많은 생태공원의 법적 근거 역시 다양하고 관리주체도 상이하여 체계적으로 지정·관리되지 못하고 있는 현실이다. 도시공원 패러다임의 생태적 전환과 국토 생태계의 총체적, 통합적 관리를 위한 자연공원 체계의 개선을 위해 생태공원의 법적 지위를 명확히 하는 것은 중요하다. 이를 위해 관련 법령을 분석하여 문제점과 법제적 개선 방향을 도출하였다. 첫째, 국토교통부와 환경부 법률의 연계성이 떨어지고 이원화된 공원 체계 속에 생태공원의 법적 지위는 모호한 것으로 나타나, 공원 관련 법제의 개정을 통해 생태공원을 명확히 규정해야 한다. 둘째, 생태공원은 생태계의 보호와 복원, 생물다양성의 보전과 증진, 자연관찰과 생태학습 및 여가활동의 균형을 도모하며 생태적 방법으로 조성·관리되는 지속가능한 공원으로 정의할 수 있으며 지속적인 논의를 통해 다듬어가야 할 것이다. 셋째, 공원 관련 행정 협력 체계에서 국가와 지방자치단체의 역할을 체계화하고 거버넌스 구축을 통해 새로운 공원조성·관리 모형을 수립해야한다. 넷째, 생태공원 서식처의 특성은 개별법의 영향을 받으므로 시설 중복결정의 가능성을 열어둘 필요가 있다. 다섯째, 생태공원의 목표, 원칙, 시설물의 조성 기준을 갖추도록 세부 지침과 표준 조례가 필요하다. 여섯째, 법률의 개정과 더불어 지자체의 조례 역시 구체화되어야 한다. 이 연구는 생태공원을 제도적으로 명확히 규정해야 한다는 문제의식을 기반으로 현재 생태공원과 관련된 다양한 법적 현실을 추적한 문헌 연구이다. 다양한 이해관계자들의 의견을 실증적으로 반영하지 못한 한계를 가지나, 이러한 법적 고찰은 생태공원 조성 기반을 체계화하여 도시의 생태계를 보전하며 시민들에게 자연체험과 학습의 기회를 제공할 수 있는 정책 방향을 제시하는데 기여할 수 있다.
