  • The significance of gas sensors has been emphasized in various industries and applications, owing to the growing significance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management in corporate operations. In particular, the monitoring of hazardous gas leakages and detection of fugitive emissions have recently garnered significant attention across several industrial sectors. As industrial workplaces evolve to ensure the safety of their working environments and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the demand for high-performance gas sensors in industrial sectors dealing with toxic substances is on the rise. However, conventional gas-sensing systems have limitations in monitoring fugitive gas leakages at both critical and subcritical concentrations in complex environments. To overcome these difficulties, recent studies in the field of gas sensors have employed techniques such as mobile robotic olfaction, remote optical sensing, chemical grid sensing, and remote acoustic sensing. This review highlights the significant progress made in various technologies that have enabled accurate and real-time mapping of gas distribution and localization of hazardous gas sources. These recent advancements in gas-sensing technology have shed light on the future role of gas-detection systems in industrial safety.

  • Recently, due to the change to SASB(Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) and GRI(Global Reporting Initiative) Standards 2021, the paradigm for non-financial information disclosure is changing significantly, with the number of ESG topics and indicators that must be disclosed by industry from an autonomous material topic selection method. This study revealed that the number of compulsory topics in the oil and gas industry by GRI standards 2021 is up to 2.4 times higher than the average number of material topics disclosed when domestic companies publish sustainability reports using GRI Standards 2020. In the oil and gas industry, I analyzed the similarities and differences between the GRI standards 2021 and the ESG topics covered by SASB by environmental, social, economic, and governance areas. In addition, the materiality test process, which is different in GRI standards 2021, is introduced, and the issues included in the following 10 representative ESG-related initiatives are summarized into 62 and suggested improvement plans for materiality test used in the topic pool.

  • Environmental protection has been infused into the development of numerous fields by the Chinese government. The government's implementation of green development has also shifted its focus to green transformation and governance of highpolluting companies. In the context of green and sustainable development, this study employs DEA data envelopment analysis to compare the operating efficiency of listed firms that implemented Green Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in China in 2018. The conclusions of this study are as follows: First, China's green M&A enterprises are unevenly dispersed among the country's east, middle, and western regions. Second, compared to before the implementation of Green M&A, operational efficiency has improved in most industries. Third, the difference in Green M&A across industries is generally favorable, showing that most organizations have improved their operational performance as a result of Green M&A implementation. In 2018, however, the gap in operating efficiency is more negative. Fourth, whereas the eastern and western areas' operational efficiency has improved as a result of Green M&A, the central region's has not. Based on this conclusion, this study makes recommendations for China's future sustainable development of heavily polluted firms.

  • ESG is the hottest topic in recent business management or business administration. In particular, with the release of the IPCC's 6th comprehensive report in 2023, environmental issues have been further raised around the world, and ESG management for sustainable and permanent companies is accelerating by improving social and governance structures, including the environment, and thereby enhancing corporate value. This case study is analyzed based on the theory of sustainable growth, creating shared value, and corporate social responsibility. This study focuses on the case of Samsung Biologics, which is pursuing sustainable growth and management through ESG management. Samsung Biologics is the first Korean company to win the "Terra Carta Seal" award, part of a sustainable market initiative to respond to climate change, and externally, it has acquired the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, acquired the KCGS ESG comprehensive evaluation A grade, acquired the CDP B grade, and acquired the EcoVadis Gold grade. It has joined the Sustainable Market Initiative launched by King Charles III since the World Economic Forum in 2020 to chair the Supply Chain. It has joined RE100, TCFD, and UN Global Compact to lead sustainable management through ESG activities. Therefore, we would like to take a practical approach to ESG management strategies for sustainable growth through the example of this company.

  • The purpose of this study is to establish common indicators that constitute a "low-carbon green city" and determine their priorities from the perspective of Incheon Metropolitan City with a view to help develop its climate change strategy strategic city. Several major cities, domestic and overseas, were benchmarked to come up with preliminary indicators consisting of six areas, twenty two planning factors, and 74 indicators. In order to evaluate the validity and relevance of preliminary indicators, expert FGI (Focus Group Interview) was conducted that changed the numbers of final indicators to six areas, twenty two planning factors, and 82 indicators. Finally, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was conducted to assign relative importance (i.e. weights) to each indicator. Through the layering process of AHP, the upper category of "field" and lower category of "planning factors" were set up as policy prerequisites for constructing a low-carbon green city (6 fields, 22 planning factors). The AHP results for the first level (fields), green city space was ranked first, followed by energy and resource circulation, green traffic, ecological preservation, green logistics, and governance. Among all planning factors, land use, energy efficiency, traffic system improvement, location planning, securing of ecological area, efficiency of logistics, and cooperative organization showed the highest priorities.

  • 정부 주도의 대규모 개발사업은 개발과 환경보전이라는 가치관의 차이, 개발로 인한 공익과 환경 파괴로 인한 환경이익 침해와 같은 공익 간의 상충, 사업으로 예상되는 국익과 개인의 재산권 침해 등과 같은 문제를 초래하는 경우가 많았다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정부는 개발정책과 계획을 수립하고 개발사업을 집행하는 과정에서 발생되는 자연훼손이나 환경파괴, 경제적 타당성, 사회적 문제 등을 객관적이고 과학적으로 조사하거나 제대로 검증하지 않아 갈등이 빈번하게 발생하였다. 이러한 갈등을 해결하기 위한 기존의 연구는 대개 갈등의 원인을 이해관계, 가치관, 사실관계, 제도 측면에서 규명하고 해결방안으로 주로 주민참여와 거버넌스, 전략환경평가, 사회영향평가 등을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 한국에서 1980년대 중반이후 주요 개발갈등사례를 개발사업 종류, 갈등당사자, 갈등 쟁점, 갈등 원인, 선거공약 여부, 소송 여부에 따라 정리한 후, 갈등 예방과 해소를 위한 법과 제도를 고찰하였다. 그리고 선거공약 또는 개발정책 및 계획안 구상단계, 개발정책 및 개발계획 수립 단계, 개발사업 시행단계, 갈등 분쟁 발생단계 등으로 구분하여 갈등예방 및 해소방안을 제시하였다. 선거공약 단계에서는 공직선거법상 선거공약서 규정에 국가재정법상 예비타당성분석을 도입하고, 개발정책 및 개발계획 수립단계에서는 전략환경평가와 갈등영향평가의 연계, 전략환경평가과정에 사회영향평가 및 주민참여의 강화, 환경계획과 개발계획의 연계 등을 제시하였다. 개발사업 시행 단계에서는 환경영향평가 과정에서의 주민참여를 강화하고, 개발사업 시행단계에서 갈등이 발생하는 경우 거버넌스 구축과 환경분쟁조정법, 공공기관의 갈등예방과 해결에 관한 규정 등을 근거로 하는 갈등해소방안을 제시하였다.

  • 화석연료의 고갈과 국제 유가의 폭등, 기후온난화와 빈번한 환경 재난은 자원 및 환경 담론과 정책의 강화를 요청했으며, 이에 따라 지속가능한 발전의 개념이나 탄소 규제 전략에 바탕을 둔 정책들이 추진되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 기존 개념이나 전략들은 신자유주의화 과정에 포섭되면서, 실효성이 있는 성과를 얻지 못했다. 이러한 점에서 새로운 전략적 규범적 개념으로 에너지 전환과 더불어 에너지 자립의 개념이 제시된다. 대구시는 비교적 일찍 에너지 문제에 관심을 가지고 솔라시티 정책을 추진해 왔지만, 거시적 배경에 편승하여 도시 에너지 문제를 제대로 대응하지 못했다. 이러한 점에서 이 논문은 대구시의 에너지 문제 실태와 정책의 의의와 한계를 살펴보고, 도시 에너지 전환과 자립을 위한 4가지 원칙, 즉 화석에너지 및 핵에너지에서 재생가능 에너지로의 전환, 공급주도형에서 수요관리 중심 정책으로의 전환, 중앙집중형에서 지역분산형 에너지 시스템으로의 전환, 그리고 시장의존적 관리에서 시민 참여적 에너지 거버넌스로의 전환 등을 제안하면서 이에 바탕을 둔 구체적 방안들을 제시하고 있다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 충남지역 경제 발전에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 민간 중간지원조직의 현황을 조사 분석하고 이들의 역량을 강화시키는 정책적 방안을 도출하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 중간지원조직을 민간단체와 정부 사이에서 다양한 주체들 간에 원활한 관계를 형성, 유지하도록 하는 모든 기관과 프로그램이라고 정의하였다. 지금까지 대부분의 연구들은 공공기관 중간지원조직의 기능과 역할에 대한 분석이 중심이었지만, 이 연구에서는 충남지역을 활동 범위로 하는 민간분야 경제관련 단체 9곳을 선정하여 중간지원조직으로서의 역할과 기능에 대해 설문지와 면담조사를 통해서 조사하였다. 그 결과 아직까지 과거 산업화시대 이익단체로서의 역할에 국한된 활동에 초점을 두고 있으며, 자신들이 중간지원조직으로서의 역할을 수행해야 한다는 인식이 매우 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재정적으로 열악한 상황에 직면해 있기 때문에 중앙부처에서 예산을 지원하는 사업 이외에 자체사업을 추진할 수 있는 능력이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 이들이 충남지역에서 지역산업체의 요구를 수용해서 새로운 협력적 활동을 주도하는 중간지원조직으로서의 활동을 수행하기 위해서는 우선적으로 각종 지역개발사업의 운영과정에 참여하도록 함으로써 다양한 지역산업의 문제를 다룰 수 있는 역량을 향상시키도록 하는 정책적 지원이 필요하다.
