In this research, mortality rates of pathogen indicator microorganisms discharged from various point sources and diffuse sources in urban area were measured. Water samples were taken at domestic sewer, combined sewer overflow, effluent from a wastewater treatment plant, urban river, and sediment of an urban river. Mortality rates of indicator microorganisms in domestic sewer estimated by assuming the first order kinetics at $20^{\circ}C$ were as follows: total coliform = 0.092/day, fecal coliform = 0.185/day, E. coli = 0.252/day, and fecal streptococci = 0.281/day. Sensitivity of mortality rates of total coliform on temperature was estimated as $K_{temp}=K_{20}{\times}1.162^{(temp-20)}$ for the range of $10-20^{\circ}C$. Mortality rates due to sunlight were measured as 1.22-1.59/day while mortality rate due to settling for 40 min were estimated as $9.21{\times}10^3-20.0{\times}10^3/day$.

Characterization of sediment quality is important for the proper management of surface water quality, yet sediment has not been monitored sufficiently. In this study, fecal indicator microorganism concentrations of sediments in the Geum River Basin were monitored. Sampling was carried out at one paddy field, one lakeshore and five monitoring stations in the lower reach of the Geum River Basin. Surface waters and sediments were sampled four times during rainy season. Total coliform concentrations of sediments were 12 times higher in average to those of surface waters while E. coli concentrations of sediments were six times higher. No correlation found between indicator microorganism concentration between surface waters and sediments.

가축분뇨 처리시스템에 대한 환경영향을 분석하기 위하여 전과정 평가방법을 적용하였다. 전과정평가의 첫 번째 부분은 사용될 분석 항목을 구성하는 것으로, 가축분뇨 처리시스템에 대한 유입 및 배출에 대한 항목이다. 전과정 영향평가를 위한 다음 단계로서 전체 환경부하를 최종적으로 하나의 지수로 통합하기 위하여, 특정 항목에 대한 자료를 취합하고 분석하는 것이다. 전과정 영향평가를 위해, Eco-indicator 95 방법은 체계화 되었으며, 규칙적으로 적용된 영향평가 방법이기 때문에 선택하였다. 전과정 영향 분석을 위한 실례로서 호기 및 혐기소화 시스템과 같은 두 종류의 돈분 처리시스템을 선정하였다. 돈 분뇨 처리시스템에 대한 농업환경영향을 평가한 항목을 확립하였고, 혐기소화시스템에서는 전 인산 배출이 높았으며, 호기소화시스템에서는 이산화탄소 배출이 높은 것으로 관측되었다. 돈분 1ton을 처리하는데 관련된 돈분처리시스템에 대한 환경영향 평가에서 Eco-indicator 수치에 따르면, 호기소화 시스템에 있어 지구온난화 및 토양산성화에서 음의 지수를 보인 반면 혐기소화시스템은 수계 부영양화 부분에서 비교적 높은 양의 지수를 보였다.

Cheonggye-cheon is a partly restored urban stream located in central Seoul. We monitored fecal contamination using three different fecal indicators, total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC) and E. coli, to assess differences in each indicator on days of varying weather conditions. Presumptive TC, FC and E. coli colonies were identified by their 16S rRNA sequences. The results showed that enumeration of E. coli provided a better reflection of fecal contamination of the stream than TC and FC. The main sources of contamination were the inflow of fecal-polluted groundwater from the vicinity of a subway line and two inflowing streams. The fecal contamination was worsened on days with heavy rain because untreated sewage from a collecting facility flowed into the stream. Moreover, growth potential of fecal indicator (E. coli) in situ induced by algal exudates was measured. Our results suggest that an appropriate standard based on E. coli rather than TC and FC should be established for improving water quality management strategies of Cheonggye-cheon in the future.

본 연구는 생태계 조절 서비스 중에 하나인 기후 조절 서비스 산정을 위한 국내 주요 생태계의 탄소 저장 지표를 산정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 국내에서 진행된 선행 연구를 바탕으로 주요 생태계 (도시녹지, 경작지, 활엽수림, 침엽수림, 혼효림, 초지, 담수, 연안, 해양)의 탄소 저장량을 이용하여 탄소 저장 지표를 산정하였다. 또한 다양한 측정 방법으로 추정된 탄소 저장 지표의 불확실도를 국제기준에 따라 산정하였다. 국내 주요 생태계의 조절 서비스를 생태계 유형, 측정 방법 그리고 저장고별로 정량화한 결과 탄소 저장지표는 산림 생태계에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다.

In order to apply a water quality indicator as a certain target pollutant, the indicator should have the representability of an index for the management of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Scientific groundwork and treatment technologies also should be provided for the application of the indicator. This study analyzed the applicability of major water quality indicators for target pollutants. The results showed that four water quality indicators of TOC, T-N, SS & T-Coli can be considered as target pollutants besides existing BOD and T-P. These indicators can be applied with the preparations such as essential basic data, pollution load estimation framework as well as legal criteria setting when the need is raised. As the importance of TOC, which is considered as a replacement of BOD, is emphasized, technical and institutional terms are being prepared in order to determine TOC as another target pollutant in the near future. It could be considered to combine TOC with BOD for the time being during the $3^{rd}$ stage of TMDLs in view of the present conditions for the management of TOC. TOC can be the most effective index for the organic matter and help to be managed more systematically in the waterbodies where rivers and lakes are mutually connected.

녹색경영은 기후변화 대응이 전 세계적 이슈로 부각되면서 기존의 환경경영에 온실가스 저감, 대체에너지 개발 등 저탄소 녹색성장 요소가 추가된 확장된 개념으로 국내 외적으로 기업의 녹색경영 성과 측정에 대한 논의가 확산되고, 기업의 환경관리 수준 파악, 분석 및 평가의 중요성이 대두되면서 다양한 형태의 녹색경영 성과측정지표 체계가 개발되어 운영되고 있다. 하지만, 녹색경영에 관련한 구체적인 실행 방법론 제시는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는, 제시된 평가지표에 따라 기업간 녹색경영 수준 비교가 객관적으로 평가되게 하기 위해 가중치 산정을 위한 전문가 설문조사를 실시하였고, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 분석을 적용하였다. 국내외 10개 주요 정유/화학기업을 평가대상으로 선정하여 지속가능성 보고서 및 관련 문헌자료 등을 분석하였으며, 가중치가 부여된 세부 지표항목에 의거한 평가지표별 기업의 평가점수 도출 및 기업간 점수차이 분석을 실시 하였다.

Carbon Neutral is one of the magnifying pan-governmental tasks which aim for stabilizing pan-global ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to estimates carbon neutral degree in cities by using capacity of carbon storage, which is carbon sinks, on forest and to develop an indicator that could be utilized in establishing policy related to climate change respond. When the carbon emitted from city has been absorbed or stored, the value of the indicator aiming to achieve carbon neutral could be drawn. The result and implication are as follows. First, while the annual amount of carbon emission in Gyeonggi S city was 18,787 thousand (tons), which was the highest, that of Gyeongbuk U city indicated the lowest with approximately 112 thousand (tons). Second, Gyeongbuk U city represented the largest capacity of annual carbon storage with about 16,748 thousand (tons), whereas the smallest figure was shown in Gyeonggi B city with 151 thousand (tons). Third, as result of the estimation of carbon neutral degree, the value of the indicator in Gyeonggi B city was 3% referring the lowest point, while that of other cities demonstrated over 100%. Forth, it has the possibility to suggest the fixed quantity when the plan for achieving carbon neutral of city is being processed. In the near future, after the completion of the construction projects of greenhouse gas inventory in all local governments, by utilizing the relative dates, the value of the indicator can be calculated and a more general conclusion could be drawn. Moreover, as expanding case studies to all domestic cities, generalness is in need.
