Owing to the rapid growth of hypermarket/discount store formats since 1996, Korean retailing has suddenly attracted the significant attention from researchers. Before the emergence of large scale retailers such as E-Mart, Lotte Mart and Tesco Korea, there were the two retail formats who led the Korean retailing in the modern retailing history: department store and supermarket formats. Nevertheless, there has been little literature concerned about the two retail formats as a case study, while some authors have paid their attention to hypermarket/discount store formats. In addition, when mentioning the development process of retailing history, it is less likely that authors have made an effort to illustrate supermarket retailing history. In order to regard supermarket retailing as part of the Korean retailing, it is interesting to look at a representative supermarket retailer, Haitai, who was one of the subsidiaries of Haitai chaebol. Based on supermarket retailing, the company which was established as a joint venture in 1974 led a supermarket retailing in the Korean modernised retailing history. Before analysing whether Haitai failed or not, the definition of failure should be illustrated. With regard to the term, failure, in the academic world, authors have interchangeably used the following terms: failure, divestment, closure, organisational restructuring, and exit. To collect research data as a case study, the author adopted an in-depth interview method. The research is based on research interviews with 13 ex-staff who left after Haitai went bankruptcy, from store management department to merchandise department. By investigating Haitai's experiences through field interviews, the research found that Haitai restructured organisational decision-making process at the early stage when companies started to modernise organisational charts, benchmarking sophisticated retailing knowledge through the strategic alliance with a Japanese retailer. In respect of buying system, the company established firmly buying functions by adopting central buying system, and further, outstandingly allocated considerable marketing resources to the development of retailer brands with the dedicated team of retailer brand development. In the grocery retailing, abandoning a 'no-frill' packaging concept, the introduction of retailer brand packaging equal to, or better than national brand packaging design, encouraged other retailers to change their retailer brand development strategies. In product sourcing ways, Haitai organised for the first time the overseas sourcing team with the aim of improving the profit margins of foreign products and providing exotic products for customers, followed by other retailers. Regarding distribution system, the company introduced the innovative idea which delivered products ordered by stores directly to each store withboth its own vehicles and its own warehouse in which could deal with dry foods, chilly foods, frozen food, and non-foods, and even, process produce. In addition, Haitai developed many promotional methods to attract more customers like 'the guarantee of the lowest price', and expanded its own business to US in 1996, although withdrew, because of bankruptcy in 1997. Together with POS introduction in 1994, Haitai made a significant contribution to the development of the Korean retailing, influencing other retailers in many aspects. As a case study, the study has provided a number of lessons from Haitai's experiences for academicians and practitioners, suggesting that its history should be involved in the Korean modernised retailing.

도로퇴적물(Road Deposited Sediments, RDS)은 도로, 도로 시설물, 자동차 마모와 배가스, 그리고 도로 외부에서의 유입에 의해 형성되어 도로에 축적되는 입자 물질이다. RDS는 유기물, 휘발성 고형물, 영양염류, 각종 금속류 등 다양한 오염물에 고농도로 오염되어 있고, 강우유출수와 함께 주변 수계로 유출되므로, 도시 지역 비점오염물질의 축적과 이동에 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에, 본 연구는 RDS의 중금속 농도를 문헌에 의해 검토하여, 관련 부하저감 대책수립에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 도시지역 RDS의 중금속 농도는 매우 편차가 컸다. Norway, Spain, Australia, UK, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Angola, Canada, USA, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand 그리고 India의 도시 지역 RDS의 Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe, Zn, As, Cd, 그리고 Pb 농도는 각각 3.16-3,410, 1.15-1,382, 20.2-9,069, 2980-124,853, 81-2,550, 2.3-214, 0.19-21.3, 그리고 15.21-1,125mg/kg 이었다. 특히, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, 그리고 Pb의 농도가 높아, 인위적 요인에 의한 RDS의 중금속 오염이 확인되었다. RDS의 Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, 그리고 Pb 농도는 주거지역이나 공원 등에 비해, 교통지역이나 산업지역에서 높았으며, 입도가 감소함에 따라 중금속 농도가 높아졌다. 본 연구결과는 RDS에 의한 수계의 중금속 부하의 산정과, RDS 제어에 의한 비점오염 저감대책의 수립에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
