  • Green building certification is being implemented in various countries around the world for the purpose of securing sustainability and reducing energy use and carbon emissions. Korea has been implementing G-SEED, a green building certification, for buildings since 2002, but in foreign countries, the evaluation target has been expanded from buildings to neighborhood units, cities, and infrastructure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish Korean green building certification system in terms of neighborhood scale. In order to make Korean certification scheme for neighborhood communities, three major international certification systems (BREEAM Communities, LEED-ND, and CASBEE-UD) were compared. Comparison was executed about definitions and goals, certification system and range, certification categories, and regulation relationship by literature review. Based on the results, the evaluation system proposal including the scope, subjects, and items for green building certification in Korea was proposed.

  • Green pepper was dried using 30%, 50%, or 80% maltodextrin as dehydrating agents, and the quality of the peppers was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples in terms of rehydration ratio, color, and sensory evaluation. The amount of moisture lost during drying increased with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin. The rehydration ratio of maltodextrin-treated pepper was greater than those of freeze-dried or hot air-dried peppers. The color of the 30% maltodextrin-treated green pepper was similar to that of freeze-dried pepper and better than that of hot air-dried pepper. On sensory evaluation of dried green peppers, maltodextrin-treated pepper scored better than did the freeze-dried or hot air-dried samples. These results suggest that drying of green pepper using maltodextrin is very efficient, because good rehydration capacity is retained and minimal cell destruction may be achieved.

  • With the diversification of research using UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)s, the possibility of remote sensing research for urban green spaces is increasing. UAVs can be used as an investigation method to monitor the successful construction of the park and the planting of vegetation since its creation. This study was carried out to investigate UAVs utilization of urban green space monitoring in Dosol Square. It was photographed three times on May 21, July 13, and September 16, 2018 using DJI Phantom3 pro, Inspire2, and Parrot Sequoia multispectral camera. Orthographic images were overlaid on the planting plan of the site and the construction results were checked, the change of vitality of the plantation area was analyzed by NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and SAVI(Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index). As a result, it was confirmed that the UAVs are very effective for surveying the view of the urban green space after the construction and recording the results, which can be grasped quantitatively by overlaying the planting plan map. UAVs are more likely to be used in terms of monitoring vegetation vitality. It is interpreted that SAVI is better than NDVI in the green space just after composition. Chionanthus retusus and Pinus strobus were analyzed for their low level of vitality, and partially damaged and their vitality was lowered. In addition, there was difficulty in grass planting area and flower garden due to drainage and summer drought problems. In the future, it is expected that orthoimage and multispectral data using UAVs will be useful in the early vegetation monitoring and management field of urban green spaces.

  • England's green belt policy as it delivered its framework to designating the development restriction zones(DRZ) in Korea is the key to address issues which try to change green belt boundary or/and housing development. Therefore it should necessarily be reviewed on the understanding of how England has been formulating a national policy to deal with the issues focusing on opportunities for housing development and recreation. This study explored the discourse and framework of England's green belt policy as well as driver changes of housing development and recreation. Results show several characteristics of England's green belt policy which are civil society consensus on conservation and management, limited small-scale housing development through management of release rates, a systematic procedure for application and approval, open-recreation space expansion and utilisation under the premise of conservation of natural green areas, and management structure by the involvement of NGO organisations. Therefore, five suggestions can be delivered to developing Korea's DRZ frameworks: first, preceding social consensus on the preservation value of development-restricted zones, second, addressing housing shortages in different alternatives e.g.) environmental-friendly small-scale housing, third, institutionalising the total proportion of release, fourth, establishing an open-recreation space, fifth, introducing expanded public-private partnerships. Ultimately securing the legitimacy of the nation's development-restricted zone system can contribute positively to the environment preservation and human health by promoting public leisure activities in terms of the recent increase in external activities caused by the Covid-19 crisis. Concluding remarks are here that the understanding of England's green belt policy can be delivered to and help formulate domestic policy addressing current issues.

  • Background and objective: To improve air quality, particulate matter (PM) can be reduced using green infrastructure. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the particulate matter reduction potential of climbing plants used for green walls, an element of vertical green infrastructure. Methods: A sealed chamber with controlled environmental variables was used to assess the PM reduction level caused by climbing plants. PM concentration in the plant chamber was measured after two and four hours of PM exposure, and the reduction potential was assessed based on the leaf area. Results: Compared to the empty chamber (Control), the PM reduction speed per hour was higher in the plant chamber, which confirmed that climbing plants contribute to the reduction of PM in the air. The PM reduction speed immediately after exposure in the plant chamber was high, but this slowed over time. Additionally, PM has been continuously reduced in plants with large leaves. As a result of calculating the particulate matter reduction level based on leaf area, it was found that there was a difference by particle size. Actinidia arguta, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Trachelospermum asiaticum, and Euonymus fortunei var. radicans showed a high reduction effect. The trichomes on the leaf surface of Trachelospermum asiaticum were found to affect PM reduction. Conclusion: PM adsorption on the leaf surface is an important factor in reducing its concentration. It was possible to compare different plants by quantifying the amount of PM reduction during a fixed time period. These results can be used as the basic data to select the plant species suitable for urban green walls in terms of PM reduction.

  • A soybean cultivar with a green seed coat and cotyledon contains high levels of lutein, which is beneficial for eye health. Plus, antinutritional components such as lipoxygenase, Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI), lectin and stachyose exist in the mature seed. The genetic elimination of these antinutritional factors is a necessary step in green soybean breeding. This research was conducted to improve a new green soybean line with the green cotyledon and tetra null genotype (lox1lox2lox3tilers2) in terms of lipoxygenase, KTI, lectin and stachyose. We used five germplasms to develop a breeding population. A total of 69 F2 seeds were obtained from the cross of parent 1 and parent 2, and from those, 21 F2 seeds were selected that had the green seed coat color, and which were free of lectin protein. Next, four F2 plants with the green seed coat and tetra null genotype were selected from the breeding population derived from four genotypes. The absence of lipoxygenase, KTI and lectin proteins was confirmed in the F5 strain. The breeding line has a green seed coat, green cotyledon and white hilum color. The 100-seed weight and stachyose content for the breeding line were 30.7 g and 2.40 g/kg, respectively. The line selected in this study could be used as a cultivar or parent to improve colored soybean cultivars through the removal of antinutritional components such as lip- oxygenase, KTI, lectin and stachyose.

  • One of the major factors which increase urban temperature is roads. This paper is aimed to investigate the effect of urban roadside vegetation on the road surface temperature. For this, surface temperature was measured at 18 spots using the thermal imaging camera in terms of road components including use of roadside land use, roadway, sidewalk, roadside vegetation and vegetation median barrier. The size of the roadside vegetation and related urban road characteristics were also measured. In terms of the effect of roadside vegetation on a decrease in road surface temperature, the roadside land use as a green area or open space was the highest, followed by the size of vegetation median barrier and the size of roadside vegetation. Besides road surroundings, an increase in the green zone such as roadside vegetation and median strip vegetation has a significant impact on lowering road surface temperature. Therefore, a good solution for reducing urban heat island effects would be to increase the area of roadside vegetation and green areas along roads.

  • This study focused on Jungchimak (coats with side slits) which was typically worn by men in the mid and late Joseon Dynasty. It was done research by examining the case of wearing Jungchimak centering on literature and paintings and analyzing its changes in terms of its form based on the relics that have been found in order to suggest the standard for the evaluation of the period of Jungchimak. Results are as follows. First, men who wore Jungchimak were the king, crown prince and Aristocratic under the official uniform or other robes or as ordinary clothes and shroud. Second, Jungchimak for king was mostly made of Dan (satin damask) and mostly jade green & navy in color, and it commonly used dragon pattern, cloud and treasure pattern, or grape pattern. The fabric used to make Jungchimak for crown prince was Dan & Ju (coarse-finished silk) and puple, green, jade green & navy in color. The fabric used to make Jungchimak for Aristocratic was Ju and indigo or white in color. Third, 251 relics have been announced until now. Most of them were made of silk fabric and had cloud and flower patterns. Fourth, Jungchimak showed changes through time in terms of collar and sleeve shapes, the ratio of armhole to sleeve opening, Geotseop (panel sewn on front opening for overlapping), Dang and Mu (side panel), the ratio of the total length of outer collar to the length of side slits, and the ratio of chest size to the width of lower end.
