The first part of the study involved calculating emission factors from electricity production. The second part of the study aimed to analyze perceptions of the concept of carbon dioxide utilization and was conducted through a questionnaire survey with participants from Almaty and Astana. The results showed that there were no significant improvements in the decrease of carbon dioxide emissions between 2017 and 2020. Almost no change occurred in the rate of carbon dioxide emission throughout the course of the four years. According to the results of the survey, a number of respondents had reservations about the feasibility of using carbon dioxide utilization as a solution to tackle climate change. They felt that this technology would only offer a temporary solution to carbon emissions, without addressing the underlying causes of the problem. Despite these concerns, the participants acknowledged that carbon dioxide utilization had certain advantages in promoting sustainability.

Purpose: In the era of sustainable development, the role of consumers and businesses has become increasingly important by demonstrating the importance of social and environmental issues. Accordingly, firms widely adopt cause-related marketing to fulfil corporate social responsibility. The purpose of this study is to examine factors that affect consumer attitude toward cause-related marketing with perspectives of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and instrumental conditioning. Research design, data and methodology: Proposed research questions include effects of cognition, emotion, sustainability, and business ethics on attitude, effects of attitude on purchase intention, and effects of intention on satisfaction. This study collected the data via an online survey and applied factor and regression analysis. Results: Findings indicated that factors affect attitudes differently in cases of cause-related marketing with SDGs and instrumental conditioning. The results of this study found that business ethics affects consumer attitude and differ based on types of cause-related marketing. This study found that attitude positively affects purchase intention that also affects expected satisfaction. Conclusions: By applying perspectives of SDGs, findings of this study provide implications to producers, marketers, and policymakers to promote and achieve sustainability. In particular, the results found that business ethics should be more addressed to fulfill customer attitude.

This study looked at the factors that shaped the identity of the Bupo-dong community through Dong-gye and Sangyeo-gye, mainly in the case of Bupori, Yeah, and Adong, and to identify that Dong-gye and Sangyeo-gye, played an important role in shaping and strengthening the community culture of its members. As a result of his inspection, Bupo-dong formed and maintained his belonging and identity as a member of Bupo-dong through the Dong-gye, the town's autonomy code. We were able to confirm that bupo-dong, unlike other villages where community culture is largely destroyed, has been able to continue its own community culture as a bupo people to this day, with a sense of belonging, solidarity and intimacy through the Sangyeo-gye of cooperation and relief. And it can be seen that the fact that the Burawon space, which has symbolic meaning to the people of Bupo-dong, exists without being watered down. It is important to discuss the community culture of Bupo-dong, which is sustainable, mainly in Bura-dong, which continues to be an important cultural space for bupo-dong people to meet and town events.

High rise office buildings represent one of the most energy-intensive architectural typologies. The growth of urban population necessitates sustainable high rise towers that lessen environmental impacts and energy consumption. Among various sustainable strategies, the integrated design is long known to be an important process that has great impact on building's sustainability. The framework for this paper is based on the case study of integrated towers that are located in different climate zones. The paper specifically addresses to what extent climate conditions influence the design of a high rise building and what kinds of the climate integrated design has been implemented. Qualitative case studies were carried out using published data and architectural drawing set. The technical work presented in the paper is based on computer simulation that examines the insolation analysis using hourly recorded weather data. The analysis results revealed that the site and building envelope integration and the site and building service systems have shown the most frequently employed in the integrated towers through the implementation of renewable resource integration, high performance envelopes and sustainable building service systems. Internal comfort and further energy saving in the integrated towers are offered through an automatic building management system. Due to the dynamic climate conditions, integration of building systems requires a sophisticated approach to building sustainability.

Aluminum electrodeposition was carried out in dimethylsulfone ($DMSO_2$) baths containing 6.2-28.3 mol% $AlCl_3$ at 403 K. The electrochemically active species for Al electrodeposition in $DMSO_2$ baths were investigated. Electrochemical behavior of the electrolyte and the deposition mechanism were studied via cyclic voltammetry (CV). Properties of the deposits were assessed by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. In addition, structures of the ionic complexes formed with aluminum in the bath were characterized by $^{27}Al$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR spectra revealed that all baths contained two ionic species: $AlCl_4{^-}$ and $[Al(DMSO_2)_3]^{3+}$. Al electrodeposited when the $[Al(DMSO_2)_3]^{3+}$ concentration was the highest (23.3 mol% $AlCl_3$) exhibited fine grain sizes, relatively smooth surfaces, and high purities.

While green packaging related concerns are mainly studied in developed countries, there is a lack of knowledge to observe purchase behavior toward green packaging in developing countries, especially in Vietnam. Buying green packaged products in FMCG is not required to trade-off between sustainability and product performance. Hence, this present research aims to understand the gap attitude - behavior existing on FMCG green packaged products among Vietnamese young consumers with psychosocial factors (environmental concern, environmental knowledge of green packaging and green trust) and contextual factors (availability of desired green packaging and product attributes). With a sample size of 396 respondents, data was collected by convenient sampling method and then was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results reveal that all psychosocial factors are positive related to attitudes while purchase behavior is positively influenced. The findings also report that contextual factors have positive impacts on purchase behavior, which proves the important role of contextual factors in influencing consumer choices. It suggests that green packaging is receptive to Vietnamese young consumers but it should be considered within product-related context to enhance the difference in sustainability among similar FMCG products. Practical implications for marketers and future researches have also been discussed at the end of study.

We propose ID-exchange protocol for Connectionless Location-Awareness Service (CLAS) to locate mobile nodes in indoor sensor network. When adapting location-awareness service to sensor network, the target system must be designed in accordance with various metrics which reflect the system requirement. We especially consider sustainability of the existing service which has been provided for its original purpose, such as environmental monitoring. The detailed meaning of sustainability here is that, even if location-awareness service is newly added to the existing service, the system must be assured to retain a stable network condition, and to deal with newly caused traffic properly. The CLAS ID-exchange protocol is especially designed for fixture and mobile nodes communication to achieve these properties. The protocol operates on 802.15.4 MAC layer to make mobile node work independently of the procedure to build routing table of fixture node, so a stable routing condition can be achieved even if there are many mobile nodes. Moreover, the dedicated frequency channel is assigned only for this protocol, so that traffic caused by location-awareness service can be distributed to another channel. A real system adapting the protocol was implemented to monitor fire and authorities' positions. We verified the overhead and elapsed time for location-awareness. The result shows the proposed protocol has a high performance in detecting speed, traffic distribution, and stability of overall network.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are spreading rapidly and many counties are promoting hybrid and fully EVs through legislation. Therefore, an increasing amount of lithium ion batteries will reach the end of their usable life and will require effective and sustainable end-of-life management plan which include landfill disposal or incineration. The current research focuses on more sustainable methods such as remanufacturing, reuse and recycling in order to prepare for future battery compositions and provide insights to the need recycling methods to be developed to handle large amounts of batteries sustainably in the near future. The two most prominent material recovery techniques are hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy which are explored and assessed on their relative effectiveness, sustainability, and feasibility. Hydrometallurgy is a superior recycling method due to high material recovery and purity, very low emissions, high prevalence of chemical reuse and implementation of environmentally sustainable compounds. Expanding recycling technologies globally should take the research and technologies pioneered by Umicore to establish a sustainable recycling program for end-of-life EVs batteries. Emerging battery technology of Telsa show the most effective designs for high performance batteries includes the use of silicon which is expected to increase capacity of batteries in the future.

본 연구는 벽화작가의 콘크리트 담장 복원과 일부 주민에 의한 벽화훼손사건 등이 발생한 이화동 벽화마을을 대상으로 지속가능한 마을단위의 도시재생방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 기존문헌 고찰과 사전조사를 통해 마을단위에서 적용 가능한 도시재생 고려요소(환경지속성, 경제지속성, 사회지속성)를 도출하였고, 주민들을 대상으로 실증조사를 실시한 후 이화동 벽화마을의 문제점을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 주민들은 벽화마을의 활성화와 안정된 거주공간을 위한 고려요소로 벽화마을로의 접근성, 주차관리, 업종의 다양성, 새로운 일자리 창출, 주민들의 공동체참여가 도출되었다. 이화동 벽화마을의 경우, 조성 당시 거주민을 위한 물리환경적 요소들이 고려되지 못한 상황 속에서 벽화제작 예산위주로 마을이 계획되었고, 이후 경제적 혜택의 불평등으로 주민간의 갈등이 심화되었다. 또한 마을관광객에 맞춰진 업종 신설, 외부인 고용 등 공공혜택마저 주민에게 제공되지 못한 결과, 마을활성화의 주역인 벽화를 훼손하는 지속가능하지 못한 벽화마을 모습으로 나타났다. 그러므로 지속가능한 벽화마을로 존속되기 위해서는 계획초기부터 주거지역이 일부 관광지역으로 변화될 수 있다는 전제 하에 포괄적 계획이 선행되어져야 하며, 주민에게 지가상승과 같은 편파적 혜택이 아닌 도로정비 등의 생활환경 개선과 더불어 마을 자체가 주민들의 공동자산이 될 수 있도록 주민간의 소통과 화합을 위한 상생방안이 모색되어져야 한다.

본 연구는 공유지 비극의 극복 방안으로 공동체 자치 모델에 대한 기존 사례 연구를 분석하여 성공적인 공유지 관리의 필요 요소와 방해 요소를 도출한다. 이러한 요소를 성공적 공동체 자치 모델로 인정받는 제주해녀 공동체의 사회·경제적 속성과 비교 분석하여, 현재 당면한 내·외부적 변화 속에서 앞으로도 이러한 공동체 내부 기제가 유용하게 작동될 수 있을 것인지, 향후 제주해녀 공동체 자치의 지속에 필요한 사회·경제적 요소는 무엇인지 밝히는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 기존 사례에서 도출된 공동체 자치의 성공과 실패 요인에 따라 제주해녀 공동체 내부 작동 기제를 분석한 결과, 신뢰와 호혜성을 향상시키는 생산과 분배체계, 내재된 공동체 의식, 공식·비공식 조직의 역할 분담과 조직 내 제도화된 명시적, 암묵적 규범은 지속가능성의 내·외부 강점으로 작용했다. 그러나 네트워크의 폐쇄성, 생산성의 위기, 동질성의 약화와 새로운 주체의 등장은 내·외부 약점으로 작용했다. 결론적으로 향후 공유지 관리를 위한 제주해녀 공동체의 지속가능성을 위해서는 해녀학교를 활용한 노동의 재생산 기능의 재정비, 공동체 생업 및 문화 전승 주체의 명확성과 해녀 중심의 권한 유지, 그리고 해녀들의 기타소득 보장 방안 마련이 필요하다.
