This paper compares the environmental economic performance of the South Korean and the German economy during the last decade. The analysis is based on comparable data from the Environmental Economic Accounts (EEA). The EEA is a satellite account to the National Accounts which enhances the conventional economic accounts by a description of the interactions between the economy and the environment. The data from the EEA and the national accounts are fully compatible. In absolute terms the environmental pressures caused by economic activities were with regards to the environmental factors used for the analysis generally lower in South Korea than in Germany. If the use of environmental factors is related to each country's gross domestic product (environmental productivities) a lower level of environmental productivity can be observed for most of the environmental factors in South Korea compared to Germany. For example in 1999 energy and $CO_2$ productivity were about two fifths of the German level. This corresponds to the relation regarding labour productivity (Gross domestic product per employment).

It is almost impossible to aggregate environment-related information, simply because it is vast. Therefore, Recently, the development of an environmental index is attracting the attention in Korea and other nations, since it is taken to be useful for legislating environmental policies. When it comes to the development of an environmental index, the first necessary step is to organize environmental information by using an accounting framework that manifests outstanding consistency and inclusiveness. And then, this organized environmental information should be appropriately used, whenever required. Compared to these movements, it is necessary to point out that the environmental accounts in the agricultural section still suffer from numerous problems that need to be solved. According1y, this dissertation suggests and considers at least the following three matters. First of all, an integrated index evaluation method should be developed, taking domestic and foreign movements into consideration at the time of conducting the environmental evaluation. Secondly, a master plan for the environmental accounts should be developed for the agricultural sector. And thirdly and finally, problems and solutions incurred during the process of performing the aforementioned tasks need to be examined in detail.

기후변화 완화를 위한 정책에 있어서 가장 핵심적인 과제는 과거나 현재의 온실가스 배출량을 일정한 기준에 따라 측정하고 이를 기반으로 해당 감축노력의 온실가스 감축효과를 측정 및 평가하는 것이며, 이때 감축노력의 감축효과는 '기준배출량'과 '배출전망' 정보에 기초하여 평가된다. 일반적으로 많이 알려진 온실가스 배출량 개념은 IPCC 가이드라인에 따라 작성되는 '국가 온실가스 인벤토리'의 배출량 개념이다. 하지만 국가 인벤토리시스템이 제공하는 온실가스 배출량 정보는 배출원별 특성을 기준으로 작성되기 때문에 경제활동 관련 통계와 일관된 구조를 가지고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 UN이 제시하는 국제적인 기준에 따라 우리나라의 NAMEA-air를 편제한 과정과 그 결과를 제시함으로써 향후 온실가스 및 대기환경과 관련된 환경경제적 분석과 정책운영에 유용한 기초 자료를 제공하고 있다. 경제통계와 통합된 배출정보는 다양한 측면에서 경제적 변화가 온실가스 배출에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 핵심적인 정보를 제공하며, 이는 구조적 접근에 따른 기후정책의 수립과 운영은 물론 소위 '하향모형'이라 불리는 기후정책모형의 구축과 운영에 있어서도 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

90년대 중반부터 우리나라 산림계정에 대한 연구 결과가 발표되고는 있으나 아직도 체계화된 틀을 갖고 있지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 2004년에 새롭게 개편된 임업통계연보를 이용하여 산지와 임목을 대상으로 물적 자산계정 작성을 목적으로 하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 환경경제통합계정체계에 근거한 산림계정 구축의 틀을 마련할 수 있게 된 가장 큰 이유는 2004년 통계 자료에 벌채량에 대한 정보가 추가되었기 때문이다. 자료는 임업통계연보에 기초하였으며 계정 체계는 기초스톡과 기말스톡 간의 증가와 감소로 구분하였다. 산지계정에서의 증가 요인은 조림이고 감소 용인은 벌채이며, 임목계정에서의 증가는 생장이고 감소는 벌채이다. 이들 계정 항목에서 벌채의 원인을 자연발생적인 것과 인위적인 것으로 구분하였다. 또한 계정 항목으로 산입은 불가능하지만 산림의 상태를 평가하는데 중요한 기초 정보는 비고란에 기입하였다. 2003년의 산지 자산계정에서는 산지면적이 감소하는 것으로 나타났고 조림면적보다 벌채면적이 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 임목 자산계정에서는 벌채량이 전체 임목축적의 0.4%인 것으로 나타났으며 계획벌채량이 피해벌채량보다 3배 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 피해벌채량에서는 인위적 피해로 인한 벌채량이 약 300천$m^3$으로 자연적 피해 벌채량인 55천$m^3$보다 높게 나타났다.

This study was conducted to determine the major patent and analyze the patent trend of unmanned and automated agricultural production for the open field operation. As a result of conducting a search for patent applications related to these technologies, 1,080 valid patents were selected by evaluating the relevance of the patents and removing noise patents. As a result of the country-based analysis using the selected valid patents, it was found out that the largest number of patent applications were filed in the United States with 541 cases, followed by Japan with 326 cases, the European Union with 128 cases, and Korea with 85 cases. Upon classifying the valid patents into core technology, the path generation and tracking technology accounts for 33% with 353 cases; the implementing control with environmental condition technology accounts for 22% with 236 cases; the robot design technology accounts for 21% with 228 cases; the plant and environment sensing technology accounts for 19% with 206 cases; the yield and quality monitoring technology accounts for 5% with 58 cases. Finally, 10 core patents were selected by performing a patent index evaluation. The United States registered all of the 10 core patents. The results showed that Korea falls behind in the open field-related unmanned and automated agricultural production, compared to other developed agricultural countries.

This study found that introduction of environmental systems and increased environmental investment have a major impact on K company's sustainable development. The analysis indicated that the environmental investment variable has a close relationship with production quantity, sales, and the amount of sludge treatment variables in K company. However, all other variables including the cost of disinfection chemicals, and the expenditure of sludge treatment have no relationship with the environmental investment variable. Additionally, short-term results show that the company's environmental expenditure variable is conversely related with the environmental performance variable.

Recently, pollution by development in coastal areas is going from bad to worse. The Korean government is attempting to make policies that prevent water pollution, but it is still difficult to say whether such measures are lowering pollution to an acceptable level. More specifically, the general investigation that has been done in KOREA does not accurately reflect the actual conditions of pollution in coastal areas. An investigation that quantitatively assesses water quality management using rational prediction technology must be attempted, and the ecosystem model, which incorporates both the 3-dimensional hydrodynamic and material cycle models, is the only one with a broad enough scope to obtain accurate results. The hydrodynamic model, which includes advection and diffusion, accounts for the ever-changing flow and (quality) of water in coastal areas, while the material cycle model accounts for pollutants and components of decomposition as sources of the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles. In this paper, we simulated the rates of dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen(T-N) and total-phosphorous(T-P) in Korea's Ulsan Area. Using the ecosystem model, we did simulations using a specific set of parameters and did comparative analysis to determine those most appropriate for the actual environmental characteristics of Ulsan Area. The simulation was successful, making it now possible to predict the likelihood of coastal construction projects causing ecological damage, such as eutrophication and red tide. Our model can also be used in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of future development projects in the ocean.

For any particular development project or environmental regulations, decision-making criteria is required and conflicts among criteria should be resolved. It is necessary to investigate criteria that government agencies employ in making decisions that influence the environment. The evaluation of alternative development proposals and regulatory measures involves much more than environmental issues. Economic, technical, and social factors should be considered along with environmental impacts when making evaluations. Evaluation should be based on values of all individuals who may be affected by public or private decisions. There are many evaluation methods for determining how individuals and groups value alternative public actions. Numerous weighting-scaling methodologies can be used in such evaluations. These methodologies represent adaptations of multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute decision-making techniques. Environmental risk assessment which accounts for uncertainties in choosing among alternative policies and projects is increasingly used.

This study aim at demonstrating the environmental performance of freight transport of the rail and road mode through an indicator of embodied energy and $CO_2$ emissions. Using the concept of LCA, the scope of evaluation includes energy production, supply chain activity and operation. The results of embodied energy and $CO_2$ emissions are normalized by means of traffic volume. The results shown that embodied $CO_2$ emissions road mode is 607.07 $gCO_2-eq./tkm$ and 284.67 $gCO_2-eq./tkm$ for road and rail mode, respectively. This number reveals that road mode is 2.1 times larger than rail mode. The results also indicate that the main contribution of $CO_2$ emission from road mode is in the operation stage, which accounts for 70%; however, it is the construction and supply chain stage that accounts for over 50% of the emission of rail mode.
