  • This study reviewed the type of the project and developmental plan related to ocean energy development in the coastal land boundaries and the ocean, and suggested the efficient scoping method through the diagnosis of the key items of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the coastal area. The major projects are the construction of tidal power plant, tidal current power plant, and offshore wind power plant in the public water, and also those are the construction of solar power plants in the coastal land boundaries. While the project plans on a large scale such as the construction of tidal power plant, it is important to consider both property of usefulness of the designated areas and harmony analysis with marine space availability based on the adequacy of the site selection and relevance of plan with the master plan for reclamation and strategic environmental assessment (SEA). And also it needs to be considered the careful checkup on the EIA checklist referring to the type of project, effective post-monitoring, and suggestion of mitigating methods to minimize the environmental impacts during the stage of actual environmental impact assessment. Introduction of a system of integrated marine environmental impact assessment should be considered for reasonable and effective manage to developmental projects on the marine spatial area.

  • Most developing countries are experiencing rapid urbanization and the associated growth of industry and services. Cities are currently absorbing two-thirds of the total population in the developing world. Korea has about 85 percent of urban dwellers. World population will shift from being predominantly rural to predominantly urban around the turn of the century. Although cities play a key role in development process and make more than a proportionate contribution to national economic growth, especially cities are also the main catalysts of economic growth in developing countries, they can also be unhealthy, inefficient, and inequitable places to live. Most developing countries are increasingly unable to provide basic environmental infrastructure and services, whether in the megacities or in secondary urban centers. Of particular concern is the strain on natural resources brought by the increasing number of people, cars, and factories. They are generating ever greater amounts of urban wastes and emissions. They also exceed the capacity of regulatory authorities to control them and of nature to assimilate them. The environmental consequences are translated into direct negative impacts on human health, the quality of life, the productivity of the city, and the surrounding ecosystems. Environmental degradation threatens the long tenn availability and quality of natural resources critical to economic growth. Cities, with their higher and growing per capita energy use for domestic, industrial, and transport purpose also contribute a disproportionate share of the emission leading to global warming and acid rain. An important priority is to develop strategic approaches for managing the urban environment. The design of appropriate and lasting strategic responses requires first an understanding of the underlying causes of urban environmental deterioration, it is necessary that longer tenn objectives should be set for urban area to avoid irreversible ecological damage and to ensure lasting economic development. As a means to the preventive policies against the adverse effect, environmental impact assessment (EIA) serve to identify a project's possible environmental consequences early enough to allow their being taken into consideration in the decision making process for urban planning. This paper describes some considerations of EIA for urban planning-scoping, assessment process, measurement and prediction of impacts, pollution controls and supervision, and system planning for environmental preservation.

  • In this study, we deduced the best estimation methodology for amount of carbon sequestration by vegetation, through the case study using the data obtainable from the environmental assessment procedure. Our results showed that the estimation methodology using the national vegetation map was the best for the strategic environmental assessment, whileas those using the vegetation growth equation were applicable for environmental impact assessment procedure. Furthermore, we found that the amount of carbon sequestration by farmland and/or grassland, not by vegetation, was not negligible. Therefore, we concluded that the area of farmland and/or grassland need to be taken into account during the landuse planning.

  • 환경영향평가는 대규모 개발사업을 대상으로, 계획 확정후 사업 실시단계에서 개발사업 시행에 따른 환경영향 저감방안을 중점 검토하는 제도인데, 사전환경성검토는 행정계획과 환경상 민감지역의 소규모 개발사업을 대상으로, 계획 확정 이전단계에서 환경적 측면에서 입지나 개발의 적정성 타당성을 사전에 검토하는 제도이다. 사전환경성검토는 2006년 6월부터 대상 행정계획을 구체적 개발사업의 상위 행정계획으로 확대하고, 계획의 적정성, 입지의 타당성을 미리 검토할 수 있도록 하고, 검토과정에서 주민, 전문가, 시민단체 등 이해관계자의 의견수렴을 거치도록 하는 전략환경평가 체제로 개편됨으로써, 환경갈등이나 사회 경제적 문제를 예방할 수 있는 기반을 보다 강화하였다. 환경부 주관의 사전환경성검토가 전략환경평가를 강화하는 동안 건설교통부가 중장기기본계획에 대한 전략환경평가를 시행하기 시작하였다. 우리나라의 전략환경평가는 건설교통부와 환경부가 전략환경평가를 별도로 운영하는 데 따른 비효율성, 국토계획과 환경계획의 연계성 부족, 선거공약으로 제안된 대규모 개발계획 등에 대한 객관적 환경평가의 어려움 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 전략환경평가제도의 정립을 위해, 환경정책패러다임의 변천, 환경영향평가와 사전환경성검토의 발전, 전략환경평가의 현황과 선거공약으로 제안된 대규모 개발계획에 대한 전략환경평가의 한계 등을 고찰한 후, 전략환경평가제도의 발전방향과 개발계획과 환경계획의 연계통합방안을 모색하고자 한다.

  • In the current conditions of world socio-economic development, the strategic support of the process of managing the development of universities has become a particularly important area. Strategic management requires reliable information and analytical support in the form of sound descriptions of strategic directions of development, assumptions, and forecasts. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and elaborate the crucial causes in the strategic management of university's development and to suggest the coherent prospects for advancements. The data analysis was performed using descriptive methods to identify the most significant causes that affect the university's strategic development; the expert assessment was used to rank the factors, ultimately to assess each factor that affects to some extent the university's strategic development; the abstract-logical method was used to ground the positive impact of computer technologies and e-learning on the strategic development of a university and to formulate proposals for its further progress. The main results provided in the given paper showed that significant and most important strategic cause of university's development lies in the field of improving the quality of education, expanding access to educational services based on computer technology and its functionality. In turn, its widespread use at all stages of the educational process allows providing a number of advancements for universities in strategic prospects.

  • It is essential to consider strategies, spatial planning, and reflection of sustainability for the creation of sound urban spaces. To this end, there is a need for plans that can secure better sustainability through strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of plans. This study examined the literature and available precedent to develop a SEA model for administrative plans for urban development including metropolitan plans, urban master plans and urban management plans. In the course of development of the model, environmental issues associated with the urban plans were analyzed by classifying them into ten categories, including "spatial planning," "conservation planning," "greenbelt systems," "habitats." and etc. according to their rank. Furthermore, those issues were reflected on the development of environmental evaluation indices for the plans. Overall and detailed environmental indices that can be applied to the administrative plans for urban development including metropolitan plans, urban master plans and urban management plans were devised for five stages: (1) Establishment of development goals and strategy, (2) Analysis of current status and characteristics, (3) Conceptualization of spatial structure, (4) Planning for each department, and (5) Execution and management. Sub plans are more detailed and concrete. Criteria based on the evaluation indices, when performing evaluations on plans based on each environmental assessment index in reference to experts and the literature, were used to forecast their effects, i.e. whether they had a positive, negative, or no effect or relationship, or whether their effects was uncertain. Based on the forecasts, this study then presents means to establish more improvable plans. Furthermore, by synthesis of the effects according to each index and integration of the process, plans were analyzed overall. This study reflects the characteristics of the present time period based on issues in the SEA process and techniques in upper level administrative plans being newly established, and presents them according to the stage of each plan. Furthermore, by forecasting the effect of plans by stage, this study presents proposals for improvement, and in this aspect, can be meaningful in promoting plan improvements through SEA.

  • This study aimed at reviewing the case examples of environmental assessment of development projects within management zones, identifying problems and improvement opportunities and suggesting the direction of environmental assessment for management zones that are increasingly segmented Findings showed that first, the assessment of environment soundness in management zones must incorporate the national land environmental map and wide-area ecological axes established by the Ministry of Environment. Second, regarding development activities in management zones, rather than an issue of simply destroying natural environment in a development site itself during a development period, an issue of permanently isolating ecosystems from surrounding areas in a mid/long-term perspective and continually polluting water in mid-stream/upstream regions where sites are located must be considered. Third, in the case of development projects with vast areas, existing plant communities will be disturbed and the naturalness of vegetation will gradually decline due to foreign tree species introduced for landscape architecture. Therefore, creating buffer forests at forest boundaries and planting native tree species that are same as nearby tree species must be examined. Last but not least, when assessing the environmental soundness of management zones, it would be crucial to comprehensively review the environmental, social and locational features of management zones, including surrounding areas, and set the direction of environmental assessment accordingly.

  • 정부는 지구온난화로 인해 기후변화에 대응하고 세계적 경제위기를 극복하기 위해, 저탄소녹색성장기본법(2010년 1월)을 제정하여 저탄소 녹색성장을 추진하고 있다. 저탄소 녹색성장은 신재생에너지, 탄소배출권 거래제도, 5+2 광역권개발정책, 저탄소 녹색도시 등으로 요약할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 저탄소 녹색도시계획 및 이에 대한 전략환경평가의 동향을 고찰하고, 저탄소 녹색도시계획에 대한 전략환경평가의 방향을 제시하는 데 있다. 저탄소 녹색도시 조성 관련 연구를 고찰한 후, 환경부의 사전환경성검토 업무매뉴얼의 도시계획의 환경성제고 방안과 국토해양부의 전략환경평가 업무처리규정, 도시계획수립지침, 저탄소 녹색도시 조성을 위한 도시계획수립지침(2009), 저탄소 녹색도시계획 표준모델(2010), 녹색도시개발계획 등을 포함하면서 개정된 도시개발업무지침(2011)이 도시계획에 제대로 반영되는지를 검토하고, 외국의 기후변화에 대응하는 전략환경평가를 고찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기후변화 대응 도시계획의 내용은 저감방안과 적응방안 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는 데, 저감방안은 경제적 및 기술적으로 한계가 있으므로, 향후 전략환경평가는 저감방안과 함께 적응방안을 강조할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 기후변화 대응(저감과 적응)을 위해 전략환경평가의 목표와 지표를 설정한다. 셋째, 국토해양부의 상위계획(광역도시계획과 도시기본계획)에 대한 전략환경평가와 환경부의 하위계획(도시관리계획)에 대한 전략환경평가의 긴밀한 연계가 필수적이다. 넷째, 전략환경평가는 도시기본계획 수립 후에 이뤄지는 독립된 과정이라기보다는 도시기본계획 수립과정에서 중요한 부분으로 인식하는 것이 중요하다. 장기적으로는 도시기본계획과 도시환경계획을 연계시키는 것이 바람직하다.

  • The present study is a preliminary attempt to effectively incorporate the environmental issue of coastal erosion into the environmental assessment process of Korea. We assess the status of the environmental assessment on coastal erosion for the previous development plans and provide potential directions for the improvement. The considerable project plans should be screened for the impact of coastal erosion, which occupies about 20% of the total project plans reviewed, and the ratio increased with project scale. In addition to screening process, most process including scoping, baseline study, impact assessment, and follow-up need to be improved. The potential directions of improvement are provided in terms of appropriate guideline development, employment of cumulative impact assessment, follow-up improvement and rearrangement of the preparation regulation of environmental assessment. Emphasis is given for follow-up process to review post-monitoring period, to employ science compensation, and to consider the establishment of relevant institution. Final suggestion is made for the establishments of comprehensive national plan to manage coastal erosion and streamlined environmental process from strategic to project levels based on the national plan.
