Until now, the eco-friendly construction (green construction) has been focused on reducing environmental impacts in use(operation and maintenance) phase. Considering the environmental influence along the life cycle of construction project, the impact in execution phase is rather lower than that in use phase. However, that impact is thought to be greatly decreased by well-organized activities. Based on its urgency and requirement for timely action, this study aimed to discuss the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction plan in execution phase from a broad perspective. To achieve this purpose, the green building rating systems in domestic and foreign countries have been reviewed, and the practice in Japan was investigated. In order to improve current on-site greenhouse gas management, the integration among construction phases, participants, and environmental factors, and institutional supports are required as well as the contractor's efforts.

With developments of architectural and information technologies at the knowledge-information oriented society in the 21st century, there are the needs on intelligent buildings equipped with advanced systems to integrate both technologies. The intelligent building means a smart building which provides comfortable environments, realizes fast and speed information and telecommunication network services, and maximizes work productivities by adopting various systems suitable to uses, sizes, and functions of buildings. In order to meet these needs of the times, the domestic intelligent building certification system has been enforced in 2006. Recently, the intelligent building certification system was newly revised for revitalizing the spread of intelligent buildings. Thus, this paper investigates rating criteria and assessment standards of the new certification system focused on office building projects and suggests strategies for obtaining certifications by analyzing cases which were certified on the previous version of the system.

While many surveys show very positive attitudes on the part of consumers towards eco-friendly products, the market share actually reflecting green IT purchases remains low in most countries. The motivations behind green IT purchase behavior are still obscure. Several studies have addressed the question of green IT diffusion from economic and normative viewpoints in an attempt to interpret IT adoption behavior. This study comes at the question from a different angle, namely negative frame, examining threat and coping behaviors using the Ordered Protection Motivation (OPM) model and threat appraisal theory. The results show that attitudes toward fairness and positive change, which are precedents of threat appraisal, play an important role in determining threat appraisal. Perceived threats in the green IT arena include habit change and ecological change. Appraisal for coping with these threats directly affects initial adoption behaviors regarding available green IT, and then indirectly encourages the purchase of new green IT products.

기후변화의 영향으로 자연재해에 의한 인명 및 재산의 피해가 증가함에 따라 자연재해 취약성에 관한 연구들이 근래에 폭넓게 수행되고 있으며, 기후변화의 영향평가와 적응 방재대책 마련이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 종래의 재해영향을 평가한 연구에서는 대리변수를 이용하여 취약성 평가를 수행하였으나, 이는 정성적이고 상대적인 결과를 도출하여 절대적인 비교나 방재 또는 적응능력의 기준을 제시하기 어려운 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시스템 생태학적 접근법으로 재해를 Order와 Disorder의 관계로 인식하고 에머지평가법을 이용하여 정량적인 평가를 하고자 하였다. 먼저, 2003년 부산시를 대상으로 유입 에너지와 내부 자산을 파악하였고, 태풍 매미로 인해 발생 된 태풍 에너지, 태풍 영향 그리고 복구 에너지를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 유입 에너지는 4.66E+22 sej/yr, 내부 자산은 1.98E+22 sej, 태풍 에너지는 7.80E+18 sej, 태풍 영향은 4.55E+20 sej, 복구 에너지는 3.87E+20 sej로 나타났다. 이를 통해 재해 에너지에 대한 재해 영향을 허리케인 앤드류와 비교 고찰해봤을 때, 부산시의 방재능력을 증가시킬 경우, 매미보다 큰 태풍의 에너지에 대한 영향 정도를 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었고 피해에 대한 실질적인 복구를 통하여 추가피해에 대한 예방이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 재해에 대한 영향을 동일한 척도로 나타내어 자연환경과 인간의 경제 시스템별로 정량적이게 파악할 수 있었으며 이러한 정량적인 취약성 평가가 이루어지고 추후 태풍 크기에 따라 방재능력을 어느 정도까지 증가시키는 것이 효율적인 방재인지에 대한 추가적인 연구를 통해 도시의 방재정책마련에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The landscape systems in Korean island settlements can be recognized as results of ingabitants' ecological adptation to the isolated environment with the limited natural resources. Both the fishery dominant industry in island society and ecological nature of its environments seem to have influenced on inhabitants' environmental cognition as well as the physical landscape of island villages such as its location, spatial pattern in each village, housing form and so on. This study was done mainly by both refering to the related documents and direct observations in case study areas, and results of the study can be summarized as follows. 1. In general, the landscape of an individual island seems to take more innate characteristics of island's own, corresponding to the degree of isolation from mainland. That is, while the landscape of island in neighboring waters takes both inland-like and island-innate landscape character at the same time, the one in the open sea far from land takes more innate landscape character of all island's own in the aspects of village location, land use and housing density etc. 2. The convex landform of most islands brings about more centrifugal village allocation than centripetal allocation in most inland villages. And thus most villages in each island face extremely diverse directions different from the south facing preference in most inland rural villages. 3. Most island villages tend to be located along the ecologically transitional strip between land and sea, so called 'line of life', rather than between hilly slope and flat land as being in most inland village locations. So they are located with marine ecology bounded fishing ground ahead and land ecology bounded agricultural site at the back of them. 4. The settlement pattern of the island fishing villages shows more compact spatial structure than that of inland agricultural villages, due to the absolute limits of usable land resources and the adaptation to the marine environment with severe sea winds and waves or for the easy accessability to the fishing grounds. And also the managerial patterns of public owned sea weed catching ground, which take each family as the unit of usership rather than an individual, seem to make the villagescape more compact and the size of Individual residence smaller than that of inland agricultural village. 5. The folk shrine('Dand') systems, in persrective of villagescape, represent innate environmental cognition of island inhabitants above all other cultural landscape elements in the island. Usually the kinds and the meanings of island's communal shrine and its allocative patternsin island villagescape are composed of set with binary opposition, for example 'Upper shrine(representing 'earth', 'mountain' or 'fire')' and 'Lower Shrine(representing 'sea', 'dragon' or 'water') are those. They are usually located at contrary positions in villagescape each other. That is, they are located at 'the virtical center or visual terminus(Upper shrine at hillside behind the village)' and 'the border or entrance(Lower Shrine at seashore in front of the village)'. Each of these shirines' divinity coincides with each subsystem of island's natural eco-system(earth sphere vs marine sphere) and they also contribute to ecological conservation, bonded with the 'Sacred Forest(usually with another function of windbreak)' or 'Sacred Natural Fountain' nearby them, which are representatives of island's natural resources.

산업곤충은 부가가치를 창출하는 산업에 이용되는 곤충으로 정의된다. 일반적으로 국내 통용되고 있는 산업곤충의 대부분이 외래종이며, 인위적 유입으로 기인한 것이다. 산업곤충 시장의 급속한 확장에도 불구하고 산업곤충의 위해성평가를 위한 시스템은 적절하게 수행되지 않는다. 국내 수입곤충의 경우 농림축산검역본부에서 금지병해충으로 지정한 종에 대한 위험평가를 실시하여 외래종을 유입하고 있지만, 그 관리체계가"식물방역법" 체계에서 다루어지기 때문에 생태계 전반의 고려가 이루어지지 않는 한계가 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 국내 제도의 현황과 외국 평가체계를 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 우리나라 산업곤충 분야의 성공적인 제도적 관리를 위해서는 기본적 방향설정에 대한 합의가 필요한 것으로 분석되었고 이를 제안하였다. 또한, 위해성평가는 분류학 및 생태학적 정보의 통합 시스템이 준비되지 않는 한, 생태계를 보호하고 사전예방원칙을 따르도록 해야 하며 각 부처 간의 협력이 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께 산업용 곤충의 위해성 평가와 위해성 심사체계의 구분이 시급한 개선사항으로 분석되었다. 위해성 평가와 위해성 심사목적, 대상, 신청기관, 위해성 평가기준의 마련을 제안하였다. 국외에서 시행되는 위해성평가체계 중에서 아일랜드의 평가체계는 경제성, 생태적 안전성, 관리적 측면 등 다양한 요소를 균형적으로 고려한 평가체계이며 사전예방주의에 입각한 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 우리나라 곤충산업의 특수성을 고려하여 산업곤충으로 인한 피해를 사전적으로 예방할 수 있는 국내 시스템으로 응용할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to draw out objective bases for selecting various applicable facilities in case of the establishment of rainwater management strategies. To do so, sixteen facilities were selected from decentralized rainwater management systems that induce rainwater infiltration and detention as well as centralized end-of-pipe type infiltration and detention facilities in local areas. With these facilities, it attempted to evaluate them in terms of sustainability, pollutant elimination, flood control capacity and costs and subsequently analyzed correlations between each characteristic. The outcomes of the analysis were as follows: First was the analysis of characteristics between decentralized rainwater management systems and end-of-pipe rainwater management systems. From the decentralized rainwater management systems, the mulden-rigolen system and grass swale at street level had the highest in the total of the four items while the totals of the underground detention tank and temporary detention site were highest in end-of-pipe rainwater management systems. After analyzing the correlation between different types of facilities and each variable, it can be said that decentralized rainwater management systems have a higher correlation than end-of-pipe rainwater management systems in terms of sustainability whereas the latter are better in flood control capacity than the former. Second, the analysis of correlation in variables of each facility is as follows: first, there is a negative correlation between sustainability value and flood control capacity value; and there is a positive correlation between flood control capability and pollutants elimination. In addition, it revealed that the higher the flood control and pollutant elimination capability the higher the facility costs. Based on these assessments, it is possible to use them as objective selection criteria for facility application in case of site development project or complex plan.

The negative impact of monoculture rubber plantations on biodiversity and associated ecological processes/ecosystem services has led to suggestions on the use of integrated land use systems for rubber cultivation and production in order to ensure environmental sustainability. However, there is paucity of information on the effect of such integrated land use systems on the diversity and abundance of the rubber plantation undergrowth. We evaluated and compared undergrowth plant species composition, richness, abundance, diversity and interaction, in three integrated systems (Rubber-Strelitzia reginae Integrated System - RSrIS, Rubber-Podocarpus nagi Integrated System - RPnIS & Naturally Managed Rubber Plantation - NMRP) with three Rubber Monoculture Plantations (RMP₁, RMP₂ & RMP₃) adjacent to the integrated systems, respectively, at the Investigation and Experiment Station of Tropical Crops, Danzhou, Hainan, China. Undergrowth species density was higher in the rubber monocultures than in the integrated systems except in RSrIS. Species richness and diversity were also higher in the monocultures except in NMRP. Species similarity/interaction between the monocultures and the integrated systems was highest between RMP₃ and NMRP. The NRMP proved to be the best model of natural rubber integrated system for the conservation of undergrowth species richness, diversity and interspecific interaction. However, the conservation of undergrowth species in other forms of integrated natural systems can be enhanced by considering the ecology of species to be integrated in terms of their growth characteristics, competitive nature, and ability to grow in association with other species.

본고에서는 우주에서 장기간에 걸쳐 임무를 수행하는 인간의 생명지원을 목적으로 CELSS를 이용한 식물생산, 물과 공기의 정화 및 재생, 폐기물 처리 등을 위한 공학적 접근을 검토하였다. 이러한 공학적 접근에는 미소중력 또는 저압과 같은 우주 환경에 적용 가능한 폐쇄형 식물생산 시스템, 물질 순환, 물의 재생, 폐기물의 처리, 미량 유해가스의 제거, 조명, 배양액의 공급 등이 포함된다. 우주에서 재배 가능한 작물의 선택 기준으로 높은 생산성, 식용성, 소화성, 조리성, 자동화 가능성, 짧은 줄기, 높은 증산속도 등이 제기되고 있다. 화성 표면에서의 낮은 압력은 작물 생산용 온실을 설계할 때 주요 장애물에 해당한다. 때문에 저압하에서 식물 재배가 가능한 팽창식 온실의 개발에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 팽창식 온실의 구조, 내부 압력, 자재, 조명 방식, 방사선 차폐 등은 주요 설계 인자에 해당한다. 팽창식 온실 내의 낮은 압력은 구조물의 질량과 가스의 누출속도를 줄일 수 있다. 저압 조건에서는 증산속도가 급격하게 증가하여 식물의 수분요구도가 높게 나타난다. 증산 또는 수경재배시스템으로부터의 증발에 의해서 수분이 대기 중으로 방출될 때 증기압이 증가한다. 저압 조건에 있는 폐쇄계에서는 증기압의 변화가 전체 압력에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 저압 조건의 수경재배시스템은 누수로 인하여 기화되는 수분 손실을 줄이기 위해서 고도로 밀폐되어야 한다. 또한 저압으로 유지되는 온실내의 상대습도를 높게 유지할 수 있는 환경제어 기술이 개발되어야 한다. 향후 폐쇄생태계 생명유지 시스템의 핵심 기술은 우주뿐만 아니라 지구상의 사막, 극지방 또는 해저와 같은 열악한 환경 조건에서도 생명 지원을 가능케 할 것이다.
