지구온난화를 막기 위하여 전지구적 노력이 경주되고 있는 가운데 2005년 1월 EU ETS(European Union Emission Trading Scheme)가 본격적으로 시작되었다. EU ETS에서는 구체적 집행활동을 위하여 국가 할당계획(NAP : national allocation plan)을 제출하도록 하고 회원국은 각 개별 시설에까지 할당량을 부여 하도록 하였다. 이 과정에서 조기행동에 대한 문제가 회원국별로 선택적으로 처리되도록 규정하였다. 배출양의 BAU(Business As Usual)가 높게 설정되는 것을 예방하는 한편, 조기행동을 실시하지 않는 기업의 무임승차를 방지하기 위하여 조기행동에 대한 보상이 필요하지만, 조기행동과 관련된 보상은 개별시설의 할당량 및 공정한 경쟁에 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 할당량 수용성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 현재 온실가스 감축 의무부담국가가 아닌 우리나라에서 기후변화협약으로 인하여 진행될 국가할당계획을 효율적으로 수행하기 위해서는 배출권 할당 또는 제한이 이루어지기 전에 조기행동에 대한 보상원칙 정립, 할당규칙 및 데이터 수집에 대한 노력, 기타 정책과의 통합적 접근이 요구된다.

The EU recently adopted the policy for organic food and farming, Even though the EU enacted a regulation for organic farming in 1991, there has been no formal policy for supporting organic farming in the EU. This may mean that the EU regards the organic food and farming as an important sector for the future of European farming. Therefore, this study firstly explores the development processes and current situation of the EU organic food and farming policy, and then summaries the priorities of the EU organic food and farming sector. These were reflected to make up an action plan and a new regulation for the EU organic food and farming. The main features of the recent change in the EU policy would be the application of comprehensive perspective for dealing with organic food and farming issues.

The railway industry is constrained by barriers within itself, which prevent it from competing effectively with other means of transportation, particularly road transportation. Therefore, many countries have adopted the policies that aim to remove barriers to providing international transport services by creating a common framework for railway industry. Recently, the European Union has produced the European Interoperability Directives, which aim to remove the technical problems involved in running trains between member states. In this respect, it is important to harmonize the technical requirements and specifications of Korea railway industry. This paper presents an action plan for the advancement of railway technical specifications in Korea. For this, the railway law and regulations of other countries are reviewed. Also the technical problems and operational barriers of railway industry are analyzed in Korea. This will help transportation agencies to resolve the technical problems of criteria in Korea railway industry.

본 연구는 토머스 제퍼슨의 버지니아대학교 식물원 구상의 배경과 내용을 고찰한다. 제퍼슨이 식물원 설립을 추진했던 시기가 유럽에서 식물원이 약용 식물원에서 진화한 때이자 미국에서 여러 식물원이 설립된 초창기라는 사실에 주목하여 동시대 식물원과 비교하여 버지니아대학교 식물원 구상의 특징을 짚어내고자 하였다. 이를 위해 19세기 전후 구미 주요 식물원의 역할과 공간 구조를 분석하여 경향을 파악하였다. 이와 함께 식물학과 식물원에 대한 제퍼슨의 관점과 식물원 구상안을 검토하며 버지니아대학교 식물원을 당대 사례와 비교 검토하였다. 연구 결과 그 배경은 18세기 후반 유럽에서 두드러지게 나타난 국가 경제를 견인하는 실용 과학으로서 식물 교육과 연구의 중요성에 대한 사회 인식, 그리고 식물학과 식물원에 대한 정보와 식물을 교환하는 네트워크에서 찾을 수 있다. 버지니아대학교 식물원 구상은 공공 식물원의 역할에 대한 식물학자 코레아의 의견이 바탕이 되어 제퍼슨에 의해 부지 조성과 개략적인 공간 구성, 식물 수급 방안을 포함한 실행 전략으로 발전되었다. 동시대 식물원 사이에서 버지니아대학교 식물원 구상이 지니는 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초본 이외에 교목 정원을 별도로 구성하고 의학이 아닌 식물학 연구와 교육을 강조했던 측면에서 18세기 후반 유럽 식물원의 약용 식물원에서 식물원으로의 진화와 같은 경향을 보인다. 둘째, 장식적 요소를 배제하고 온실 설치를 거부하며 지역 기후에 적합한 해외 실용 식물을 확산시키려 했다는 점에서 유럽과 미국의 많은 식물원과 다르다. 본 연구는 버지니아대학교 식물원 구상을 사례로 19세기 전후 식물원의 역사와 문화에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓히는데 기여한다는 점에서 의의를 지닌다.

Global warming caused by greenhouse gases is one of the foremost challenges in the international community. As an alternative to solve this problem, the importance of CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) technology is increasing. However, due to the delay of European financial crisis recovery, some large-scale CCS projects were postponed. In turn, large-scale CCS projects in South Korea have not been launched as originally planned. Given these situations, it is important to review the latest R&D activities related to CCS in South Korea, and then adjust relevant national policy accordingly. The purpose of this study is to identify policy issues for the effective promotion of CCS technology in South Korea. Following the analysis of recent global trend on CCS policy, we evaluated the results and achievements from national CCS projects, which had been listed under the "Korean National CCS Master Action Plan (2010)". Especially, we tried to review the attainability for the original goal of each project. Through the present study, we identified the current status of CCS technology in South Korea and suggested efficient ways to be taken in order to increase efficiency in implementing national CCS policy in the future.

The United Nations Environmental Program Governing Council has regulated mercury as a global pollutant since 2001 and has been preparing the mercury convention, which will have a strongly binding force through Global Mercury Assessment, Global Mercury Partnership Activities, and establishment of the Open-Ended Working Group on Mercury. The European Union maintains an inclusive strategy on risks and contamination of mercury, and has executed the Mercury Export Ban Act since December in 2010. The US Environmental Protection Agency established the Mercury Action Plan (1998) and the Mercury Roadmap (2006) and has proposed systematic mercury management methods to reduce the health risks posed by mercury exposure. Japan, which experienced Minamata disease, aims vigorously at perfection in mercury management in several ways. In Korea, the Ministry of Environment established the Comprehensive Plan and Countermeasures for Mercury Management to prepare for the mercury convention and to reduce risks of mercury to protect public health.

Purpose: In spite of many Healthy Cities projects in Korea, there are few research about healthy urban planning. So we tried to use available recent models to a Healthy Cities project in a medium sized city in Gyeongnam province. Methods: Using mainly European Healthy Urban Planning Model and opinion leader survey, SWOT analysis, forum and discussion have been done to a city. Secondary city health indicator obtained from Ministry of Statistics. Results: There are strong need to develop health industry, green traffic and healthy living from survey using Healthy Cities policy direction of Korean Health Promotion Fund. Among the Healthy Urban Planning objectives, improvements of physical environments, prevention of accidents and crime, improvements of healthy esthetics rated highly. Although environmental pollution was problem local government push forward to the pilot healthy urban project as active healthy water-front development. Considering secondary healthy city indicators, change of external forces and internal capacity final task for healthy urban planning for Yangsan city were development of riverside physical education park and active living and anti-ageing environments etc. Conclusions: Comprehensive assessment and plan was possible through MAPP Model using European Healthy Urban Planning objectives to draw the direction of future urban planning for Healthy Cities Projects. Further research and formal introduction would be needed.

Poultry welfare has recently appeared as worldwide concern as well as Korea. The recent action plan for farm animal welfare introduced by the European Commission intends to expand the body of regulatory standards. In this context, many countries and/or organization are on the verge of establishing the most optimum poultry welfare standards. To establish the most optimum standards, comparative analysis of feeding regimen before and after welfare-bestowed environment need to be preceded. Most guidelines or standards for poultry welfare do not suggest the nutritional requirements and feeding system in detail, although it is deterimental especially for the farmer. This review intends to find scientific base to establish detailed welfare feeding guidelines. However, only limited research has been conducted in the view of actual poultry welfare. The results indicated the incidence of SDS, ascites, skeletal dysfunctions caused by fast growth rate in broiler, feather pecking and cannibalism in laying hen, and feed restriction in broiler breeder could be reduced by changing nutritional regimen and feeding strategies or both. The regimen and feeding strategies are certainly near to the direction that the poultry welfare ought to be in the right track. In this article, feeding and drinking guidelines in many standards as well as welfare feeding experiments have been reviewed and compared In the view of chicken productivity, welfare physiology and poultry health.

While the ability to develop nanomaterials and incorporate them into products is advancing rapidly worldwide, understanding of the potential health safety effects of nanomaterials has proceeded at a much slower pace. Since 2008, Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) started an investigation to prepare "Strategic Action Plan" to evaluate safety and nano risk management associated with foods, drugs, medical devices and cosmetics using nano-scale materials. Although there are some studies related to potential risk of nanomaterials, physical-chemical characterization of nanomaterials is not clear yet and these do not offer enough information due to their limitations. Their uncertainties make it impossible to determine whether nanomaterials are actually hazardous to human. According to the above mention, we have some problems to conduct the human exposure risk assessment currently. On the other hand, uncertainty about safety may lead to polarized public debate and to businesses unwillingness for further nanotechnology investigation. Therefore, the criteria and methods to assess possible adverse effects of nanomaterials have been vigorously taken into consideration by many international organizations: the World Health Organization, the Organization for Economic and Commercial Development and the European Commission. The object of this study was to develop risk assessment principles for safety management of future nanoproducts and also to identify areas of research to strengthen risk assessment for nanomaterials. The research roadmaps which were proposed in this study will be helpful to fill up the current gaps in knowledge relevant nano risk assessment.
