This study was carried out to identify the potential protected areas recognized by experts to conform to the international definition of protected areas for effective implementation of CBD Aichi Target-11. A policy forum of 13 experts on the protected area was formed and conducted four forums, two surveys, and examination in the context of international perspective to identify four potential protected areas including the water source protection area, riparian buffer zone, fishery resources protected area, and urban natural park area. Excluding the existing protected areas, the total size of the potential protected areas was about $5,643.9km^2$ composed of the terrestrial areas of $3,117.9km^2$ and the marine areas of $2,526km^2$. As such, we can expect the expansion of coverage of national protected areas by up to 3.11% of the terrestrial land and up to 0.67% of the terrestrial marine area. This study is meaningful in that it provides the fundamental information to achieve the national target of protected areas in response to CBD Aichi Target-11. Further research on improving the protected areas qualitatively and quantitatively and identifying and linking with other effective regional OECM are required to enhance the national protected area system.

Space law(or outer space law) and the law of the sea are branches of international law dealing with activities in geographical ares which do not or do only in part come under national sovereignty. Legal rules pertaining to the outer space and sea began to develop once activities emerged in those areas: amongst others, activities dealing with transportation, research, exploration, defense and exploitation. Naturally the law of the sea developed first, followed, early in the twentieth century, by air law, and later in the century by space law. Obviously the law of the sea, of the air and of outer space influence each other. Ideas have been borrowed from one field and applied to another. This article examines some analogies and differences between the outer space law and the law of the sea, especially from the perspective of the legal status, the exploration and exploitation of the natural resources and environment. As far as the comparisons of the legal status between the outer space and high seas are concerned the two areas are res extra commercium. The latter is res extra commercium based on both the customary international law and treaty, however, the former is different respectively according to the customary law and treaty. Under international customary law, whilst outer space constitutes res extra commercium, celestial bodies are res nullius. However as among contracting States of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, both outer space and celestial bodies are declared res extra commercium. As for the comparisons of the exploration and exploitation of natural resources between the Moon including other celestial bodies in 1979 Moon Agreement and the deep sea bed in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the both areas are the common heritage of mankind. The latter gives us very systematic models such as International Sea-bed Authority, however, the international regime for the former will be established as the exploitation of the natural resources of the celestial bodies other than the Earth is about to become feasible. Thus Moon Agreement could not impose a moratorium, but would merely permit orderly attempts to establish that such exploitation was in fact feasible and practicable, by allowing experimental beginnings and thereafter pilot operations. As Professor Carl Christol said until the parties of the Moon Agreement were able to put into operation the legal regime for the equitable sharing of benefits, they would remain free to disregard the Common Heritage of Mankind principle. Parties to one or both of the agreements would retain jurisdiction over national space activities. In so far as the comparisons of the protection of the environment between the outer space and sea is concerned the legal instruments for the latter are more systematically developed than the former. In the case of the former there are growing tendencies of concerning the environmental threats arising from space activities these days. There is no separate legal instrument to deal with those problems.

The investment environment in Korea and U.S. dramatically changed since Korea-US FTA. The key reasons for this successful change were liberalization and strengthened protection of investment along with trade liberalization which also brought investment market expansion. As the result of trade-diversion effect, investments between two countries have been enormously increased. Through a FTA with the big economy like US, Korea's FTA network has been largely expanded. Korea further needs to utilize this outcome when competing with other countries in investment markets.

With the recent increase in the use of disposable products, it is urgently necessary to reduce the use of disposable products and to increase the recycling rate as much as possible in order to prevent environmental damage. In this paper, we introduce , a smartphone application that provides recycling-related information and supports correct separation and discharge. This system automatically recognizes and automatically classifies the type of item, by applying an effective object recognition technique, when the camera points at the item to be discharged. It is more effective and convenient compared to other existing smartphone applications. This system is expected to contribute to environmental protection by increasing the recycling rate in daily life.

Over the past 30 years, China has maintained an annual growth rate of approximately 10%. But now China is confronted by an energy shortage and environmental pollution problems. In order to solve these environmental problems, China is not only making environmental laws and regulations to strengthen supervision, but also increasing the relevant budget. Environmental Management of Supply Chain is one of the most important tasks so that Chinese companies may effectively reduce environmental pollutions. Therefore, many empirical researches on environmental management of Chinese companies are very necessary. This study tested the actual effects on SCEM(Supply Chain Environmental Management) variables of Chinese enterprises in Shanghai and Shenyang. The results show that green design, green procurement, and extended producer responsibility have positive impacts on environmental outcomes.

Recently, the critical infrastructure is changing from the existing closed environment to an open environment, and it is becoming a new target of cyber-threats by expanding into cyberspace. In addition, due to the development of information and communications technology(ICT), the interdependence among critical infrastructure is increasing. Previous studies ranged from trend investigation and policy discussions to protection, but separate studies on the diagnosis of the current status and appropriateness judgment for efficient policy implementation were not performed. Therefore, this study compares and analyzes three international indicators that measure the level of cyber security in each country in order to build a new index to measure the level of cyber security of critical infrastructure in the USA, Japan, UK, Germany, Norway, and Korea. It is hoped that this study will serve as a basis for expanding Korean influence and building trust among countries in future cyberspace.

This objective of this study is to thoroughly analyze the policies of international organizations and major advanced countries relevant to the realization of Green port To construct Green ports, there first must be competition to build such ports in sustainable, fixed quantities. Second, there is a great need for cooperation and support networks made binding by mutual agreements on ship recycling. Third, there is a need for scientific research on responses to changes in environmental regulations and on environmental issues. Today, the majority of the world's ports use gasoline or electric energy, and improving capacities for self-sufficiency through development of new and renewable energy is judged to be a pressing task. The conditions for an eco-friendly port is that it must be an important center for economic and industrial activity, and valuable as a site where people live and work, with residences and work places existing in close proximity.

셀렝게(Selenga)강은 몽골에서 발원하여 세계최대의 담수호로 알려진 러시아 바이칼호로 유입되는 국제하천으로서 소비에트 연방해체 이후 계획경제가 무너지면서 다양한 물환경문제에 노출되어 있다. 몽골의 경우 도시개발이 급격히 진행되고 있으나 처리시설의 미비로 인한 오폐수 배출 및 무분별한 광산개발에 따른 수질오염문제가 현안이 되고 있으며, 러시아(브리아트공화국)는 계획경제의 붕괴에 따른 산업구조의 변화, 처리시설의 부족 및 운영의 비효율성, 산림자원의 개발에 따른 비점오염부하의 증가 등의 수질문제 해결이 요구된다. 몽골은 자연적인 특성상 광물질을 많이 포함하는 지표수 성상 및 매우 적은 강우량으로 인한 수자원의 부족, 지역별로 극심한 물공급량의 불균형, 산업개발에 따른 지하수 오염 등의 문제를 포함한 수자원 부족이 해결해야할 현안과제이고, 러시아는 수자원은 매우 풍부하나 공급시설의 낙후 및 비효율적인 운영으로 인한 물 공급 시스템의 개선이 절실히 요구되는 상황이다. 물 환경관리 체계를 보면 양국 공히 대내적으로는 이용 및 공급 주체별로 분화된 물 관리체제로 인해 부문간 통합성이 결여되어 있으며, 대외적으로는 셀렝게강 상 하류 물이용 개발, 수질보전 및 수생태계보호와 연관된 문제해결을 위한 몽골과 러시아간의 국제적인 협력시스템이 없는 실정이다. 경제개발에 따라 최근 수질오염 및 물이용 개발과 관련된 이해당사자 간의 갈등이 심화되고 있어 이를 지역, 국가, 국제적인 차원에서 조정할 수 있는 통합관리시스템의 구축과 이해당사자의 인식제고 및 자체적인 관리능력 배양을 위한 역량강화프로그램의 개발 운영이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동지역에서 기초현황조사, 물 환경현안 파악, 물 관리정책 및 체계와 문제점을 파악하고 향후 DPISR(Drivers-Pressures-Impact-State- Response) 분석이 가능하도록 물환경관리와 연관된 물환경상태, 현안, 원인, 영향 및 대책을 종합적인 관점에서 분석하며, 해외의 주요 국제하천의 물 환경관리모델에 대한 사례분석 및 비교연구를 통해 물이용 및 개발과 관련된 이해상충 조정체계를 개발하고자 하였다.
