When measuring the value of environmental attributes of housing, the conventional Hedonic Pricing Method assumes market equilibrium. Thus each attribute is believed to be implicitly valued based on the market price. The revealed preference is the basic logic in this approach. However, if the participants in the housing market are not perfectly informed or feel vagueness regarding the attributes of the housing, the conventional Hedonic Pricing Approach could not provide relevant value of the attribute in question. A Fuzzy Regression Method is suggested to handle with the lack of information or preference uncertainty problem m the Hedonic Pricing Approach. In this paper, our main concern IS given to the fuzziness effect on the airport noise in the metropolitan areas of South Korea.

The purpose of this study was to investigate what middle school Home Economics(HE) teachers perceive, practice and need for self-supervision at school related to HE. Questionnaires were sent by E-mail and 150 were collected. Descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA analysis were reported using SPSS/win 10.1. The results of this research were as follows: First, middle school HE teachers perceived that self-supervision at school was essential since it promoted self reflection of teachers themselves and improved professional skills. Furthermore, peer-coaching was highly preferred. Second, negative responses to the supervision of principal, vice-principal, and peer teachers overwhelmed positive answers. Information exchange among peer teachers was frequent, yet, approximately 22.6% of middle school HE teachers were still avoiding sharing information process for several reasons. About half of the teachers answered that all teachers needed to participate in this process. Third, they pointed out that self-supervision at school was not implemented well because of the lack of time due to the heavy work load, negative and passive attitude for the improvement of teaching-learning activities, administration-centered supervision that did not reflect teachers' opinion, and shortage of economical, and environmental support.. HE teachers perceived that peer teachers who were doing good practices were most helpful for the supervision. Also, they preferred self-evaluation at the end of the self-supervision at school. Forth, to improve self-supervision at school, there were very high demands for reduction of administrative work, additional time, fundamental philosophy toward HE education. Fifth, the purpose and detailed plans of self-supervision were recognized as the results that were democratically derived by the HE teachers. Sixth, class inspection and informal inspection were operated once in a year, and self-training was rarely operated. Peer coaching and self-coaching were operated occasionally. Self-coaching and peer coaching were reported as the most helpful types of supervision. In addition, HE teachers answered that supervision was helpful to teaching method followed by contents, evaluation, and philosophy of education.

This study analyzes the economic feasibility on the transition of production structure to increase income for a local forest village in Laos PDR. The study area was the Nongboua village in Sangthong district where the primary product is rice from rice paddy. Possible strategies were considered to increase the villagers' revenue, and Noni (Morinda citrifolia) was production in the short-term. We assumed that the project period was for 20 years for the analysis, and a total of 1,100 Noni tree was planted in 1 ha by $3m{\times}3m$ spacing. This study classified basic scenario one, scenario two, scenario three by the survival rate and purchase pirce of Noni. Generally Noni grows well. However, the seedlings' average survival rate (= production volume) was set up conservatively in this study to consider potential risks such as no production experience of Noni and tree disease. The scenario one assumed that the survival rate of Noni seedlings was 50% for 0-1 years, 60% for 0-2 years, and 70% for 3-20 years; the scenario two, 10% less, i.e., 40%, 50%, and 60%; and the scenario three, 10% less, i.e., 40%, 50%, 60% and purchase price 10% less, i.e., $0.29 to $0.26, respectively. Our analysis showed that all 3 scenarios resulted in economically-feasible IRR (internal rate of return) of 24.81%, 19.02%, and 16.30% of with a discounting rate of 10%. The B/C (benefit/cost) ratio for a unit area (1ha) was also analyzed for the three scenarios with a discounting rate of 10%, resutling in the B/C ratio of 1.71, 1.47, and 1.31. The study results showed that the Nongboua village would have a good opportunity to improve its low-income structure through planting and managing alternative crops such as Noni. Also the results can be used as useful decision-making information at a preliminary analysis level for planning other government and public investment projects for the Nonboua village.

에너지 기술은 개인가정으로부터 전력, 교통 및 산업에 이르는 국가전반에 관련된 복합기술로서, 에너지의 해외의존도가 극심한 우리나라의 여건하에서는 특히 중요시되는 개발분야라고 할 수 있다. 특히 국내산업이 지속적으로 발전하고 경제규모가 확대되며 생활수준이 점차 향상됨에 따라 에너지의 이용도 환경오염에서 탈피할 수 있고 사용하기에 편리한 전기와 같은 깨끗한 에너지의 사용욕구가 급격하게 증대될 전망이다. 전기가 에디슨에 의해 발명되고 사용되기 시작한 후 100여년이 지났으나 전기생산기술은 계속 회전기를 돌려서 발전하는 원리에 의존하고 있는 실정으로서 다른 과학기술분야의 괄목할 만한 발전추이에 비할 때 아주 뒤떨어져 있는 분야이다. 다행스럽게 1060년대 부터 기술개발이 활발하게 추진되어온 새로운 개념의 발전분야 에너지기술들이 20세기를 마감하기 전인 1990년대에는 조금씩 실용화되어 21세기의 대변화를 예고하여 줄 것으로 기대되고 있다.

This paper estimates optimal production of fish stock using discrete time bio-economic model to make zero profits or to maximize economic profits with maintaining sustainable resource levels under an open access and a sole owner. Particularly, this study generates optimal yields and efforts of large purse seine fisheries which catch mackerel and jack mackerel by using the logistic growth function, Cobb-Douglas production function, fisheries cost and profit functions. As a result, optimal yields of mackerel and jack mackerel under ecological equilibrium of a sole owner were approximately 172,512 tons and 16,937 tons respectively. Also, optimal fishing efforts of mackerel and jack mackerel under the same situation were about 8,508 hauls and 4,915 hauls respectively. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the large purse seine should reduce fishing efforts and increase fish stock to generate higher net present value in optimally managed fishery than that of the present large purse seine.

The purpose of this study is to derive implications for Korean home economics curriculum to emphasize consumer competency of adolescents by analyzing the content components of consumer competency presented in 'consumer life' area of middle school home economics curriculum of 3 states in the U.S. The analysis results and implications are summarized as follows: First, the U.S. home economics curriculum is composed of various contents, including credit management, savings/investment/ insurance, taxes, and financial situation, and financial decision-making, to improve adolescent's understanding of finance. In the next revision of Korean curriculum, for financial stability in prolonged life after retirement, it is would be necessary to include contents on basic financial knowledge and technology for financial information utilization so that students can establish financial plans for different life stages in consideration of various variables such as changes in economic environment, etc. Second, the U.S. home economics curriculum was developed to help students make better purchase decisions by applying economic concepts such as prices and interest rates, economic trends and the impact of demand and supply, purchase methods and contract conditions, etc. However, Korean home economics curriculum only focus on purchase plan and purchase decision-making process. It would be necessary to foster consumer transaction competency by introducing economic concepts suitable middle school level. Third, to emphasize "consumer civic competency", Ohio was focusing on "claim of consumer rights" and Wisconsin was focusing on the "acceptance of consumer responsibility." In order to enhance adolescent's consumer civic competency, it would be necessary for Korean curriculum to balance the claim of right and the acceptance of consumer responsibility in the following term, and to emphasize the contents on consumer policies, laws and consumer advocacy to create a consumer environment where consumer sovereignty is realized.

1989년 미국 환경청(Environmental Protection Agency : EPA)은 유독물질통제법(Toxic Substances Control Act : TSCA)에 의해 석면을 함유하고 있는 일부 제품의 제조, 수업, 가공 및 판매를 세 단계로 나누어 금지하였다. 본 논문은 석면규제를 금지여부결정과 금지우선순위결정으로 구분하여 각 결정에 내재된 EPA의 의사결정요인들을 추론한다. 특히 본 논문은 Magat et al.(1986), Asch and Seneca(1989), Cropper et al.(1992)이 EPA의 의사결정요인들로 제시한 내부신호(internal signals, 비용과 편익의 추정치)와 외부신호(external signals, 외부집단의 참여)를 석면규제에 적용하여 이들의 역할을 고찰한다. 한편 본 논문은 규제에 의해 영향을 받는 이익집단들이 EPA의 의견수렴기간(comment period) 동안에 제출한 의견서(written comments)가 외부신호를 나타낸다고 가정한다. Probit 모형으로 추정된 금지여부결정에 있어 EPA는 TSCA의 규정을 준수하여 비용과 편익을 균형하였고, 기업과 환경보호단체의 참여도 EPA의 의사 결정에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉, 어떤 제품의 금지에 소요되는 비용이 많으면 그 제품이 금지될 확률이 작았고, 그 제품의 금지를 반대하는 기업의 의견서가 많으면 그 제품이 금지될 확률이 작았다. 그러나 외부신호가 포함된 모형에서 내부 신호의 통계적 유의성이 낮아지는 문제가 나타났다. 한편 추정결과는 금지로 인해 감소된 암 한 건에 대한 EPA의 암묵적인(implicit) 평가가 5,000만 달러가 넘는다는 것을 보여 준다. Ordered Probit 모형으로 추정된 금지우선순위결정에 있어, 편익의 단위당 비용이 작을수록, 그리고 그 제품의 금지를 찬성하는 환경보호단체의 의견서가 많을수록 그 제품은 보다 이른 단계에서 금지되었다. 이 경우 외부신호의 계수의 통계적 유의성은 높은 반면 내부신호의 계수의 통계적 유의성은 상대적으로 낮았다.

The purpose of this study is to examine what is the path that family and socio-environmental factors of adolescents lead to school dropout called educational crisis behavior. To investigate these research problems, the path was analyzed on the basis of the related data and variations after interview with 120 crisis adolescents in 'J Youth Counseling Center' in Jeon-ju City. By the results of this analysis, the family ties as a familial factor and the deviation friends as a socio-environmental factor had an effect on adolescents' school dropout behavior. These results indicate the need to reform the interpersonal relationship in family and school friends for preventing and solving the adolescents' crisis behavior such as school dropout behavior.

지속가능한 발전과 저탄소 녹색성장의 개념이 대두되면서 우리나라를 비롯한 주요 선진국은 자국의 화석연료 의존도를 낮추고 대체에너지로 환경친화적이며, 청정에너지로 각광받는 신 재생에너지의 활용에 경제적, 정책적 지원을 아끼지 않고 있는 실정이다. 실제로 유럽에서는 바이오매스의 일종인 우드칩을 활용한 가정용 보일러가 보급되고 있으며, 동남아시아에서는 열대식물을 이용한 저온열분해를 활용하여 바이오디젤을 생산하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 대부분의 바이오매스는 발생되는 임야에서 재이용되거나 경제성이 있을 경우에 운송되어 재활용되고 있으며, 임부목과 같은 일부 바이오매스는 수익성이 없어 발생현지에 방치되는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서 주목한 왕겨의 경우 미곡종합처리장에서 대량으로 발생되지만 그 활용도에 있어서 축적된 바이오에너지에 비해 에너지회수율이 저조하다고 할 수 있다. 왕겨는 임야에서 발생되는 폐목재나 다른 바이오매스에 비해 함유되어 있는 수분이 적고(12%), 휘발분의 함량이 많으며(58%), 고정탄소(17%), 회분(13%)로 열분해/가스화에 적용가능하다. 본 실험에서 생산된 합성가스의 활용방법으로는 보일러를 이용한 스팀 및 전력생산, 가스엔진을 이용한 전력생산, 폐열회수 등이 있으며 생산된 합성가스를 활용하기 위해서는 오염물질의 정제특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 합성가스 내에 존재하는 분진, 타르, HCl, HCN, $NH_3$의 제거효율을 조사하였다.
