  • 이 연구는 세계자연유산으로서 백두대간보호지역의 가치와 경쟁력을 분석하기 위해 예비 타당성 검토를 실행하고, 향후 세계유산 등재를 위해 고려해야 할 사항을 제안하였다. UNEP WCMC, IUCN 자료를 바탕으로 백두대간보호지역의 국제적 인지도, 기존 세계유산들과의 차이 분석, 유네스코 세계자연유산 등재기준을 바탕으로 한 탁월한 보편적 가치를 분석하였다. 연구결과 백두대간보호지역의 가치에 대한 국제적 인지도 및 세계자연유산으로서의 탁월한 보편적 가치는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 및 최근 세계유산 동향을 고려하였을 때, 백두대간은 생태적 연결성, 생태 경관과 문화 사이의 상호작용, 국가적인 관리체계의 구축 측면에서 경쟁력이 있으며, 이에 따라 연속성 세계유산, 복합유산, 초국경유산으로의 잠재력이 큰 것으로 보인다. 추가적인 연구와 데이터베이스 구축, 그리고 인식 제고 노력을 통해 백두대간의 가치 증진이 이뤄지고, 궁극적으로 남북이 연계된다면 세계유산 공동등재가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Agriculture is probably the most weather-dependent of all human activities. Variations lil climate have been, and continue to be, the principal source of fluctuations in global food production, particularly in the semi-arid tropical countries of the developing world. Throughout history, extremes of heat and cold, droughts and floods, and various forms of violent weather have wreaked havoc on the agricultural systems that depend on for food.(omitted)

  • The purposes of this research are to estimate area of greenable roof and to monitor maintaining of green roofs using World-View 2 images. The contents of this research are development of World-View 2 application technologies for estimation of green roof area and development of monitoring and maintaining of green roofs using World-View 2 images. The available green roof areas in Gwangjin-gu Seoul, a case for this study, were estimated using digital maps and World-View 2 images. The available green roof area is approximately 12.17% ($2,153,700m^2$) of the total area, and the roof vegetation accounts for 0.46% ($80,660m^2$) of the total area. For verification of the extracted roof vegetation, Vworld 3D Desktop map service was applied. The study results may be used as a decision-making tool by the government and local governments in determining the feasibility of green roof projects. In addition, the project implementer may periodically monitor to see whether roof greening has maintained for efficient management of projects, and a vast amount of World-View 2 images may be regularly used before and after the projects to contribute to sharing of satellite images information.

  • Being a staple food for more than half of the population of the world and South Korea, rice is an important crop. For the past 20 years, global paddy rice cultivation area and production have shown an annual growth of 0.46% and 1.61%, respectively. Global rice consumption for food and processing has increased by 1.37% and 3.68%, respectively. Due to the main reason for such increasing human population, it is expected that from 439 million tons in 2010, additional 116 million tons will be needed in 2035. Global rice imports and exports have doubled in the last 20 years. However, in spite of such increment, global rice exports in 2013 were 8.4% of the total production. It is thought that rice protection policies in the producing countries are the main reason for such small scale of rice trading. In the past 5 years, India recorded the largest growth rate in rice exports (51.4%), whereas China showed the largest growth rate in imports (61.0%). For global utilization of milled rice during the same period, approximately 79.4% was used as food, 7.2% as animal feeds, and 1.4% for processing. Regionally, Asia has shown a similar pattern to the global rice usage, whereas utilization for processing in America, for food in Africa, and for animal feed in Europe was relatively higher than the global rice usage. Korea's cultivation area and production since the last 5 years, are 0.5% and 0.8% of those of the world, respectively. Its annual rice export is approximately 3,000 tons, which is 0.01% of the global rice export. Korea's rice utilization is high for food and low for feed and for processing relative to global rice utilization. Therefore, a review must be conducted to increase Korea's utilization of rice for processing and for feed production.
