This study conducts economic evaluation of alternatives for $CO_2$ reduction of thermal power plants. Two alternatives in reducing $CO_2$ emission are considered for the evaluation under the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) system; one is to perform renewable energy quotas and another is to construct green thermal power plants using CCS(Carbon Capture and Sequestration). As evaluation methods, DCF(Discount Cash Flow) and ROPM(Real Options Pricing Method) are employed. At a discount rate of 7.5% applied to the Electricity Supply and Demand Plan, it is shown that green thermal power generation has economic dominance under both evaluation methods.

WASP4. an estuarine or lake water quality model, wat applied to simulate future water qualities at alternative withdrawal sites for capital areas. Simulated water quality constituents were Chlorophyll a, nitrogen cycles, Phosphorus, BOD End DO. A Water budget analysis Using the monthly records of reservoir inflows and outflows between 1986 and 1990 was made to determine seasonally-averaged flowrates at model boundaries. Estimated flowrates were used. together with the seasonal water quality inputs simulated by the QUAL2E model, for the simulation of future water qualities. Sensitivities to the future pollutant inputs and possible future withdrawal alternatives were also analyzed. From simulations or future water qualities it is found that among the candidate withdrawal sites. the one located at the downstream end of the North Han River has the best future water quality in all quality constituents and the one at the downstream end of the South Han River has the worst Possible future withdrawal from the North Han River brings a slight increase or pollutant concentrations at existing withdrawal sites. but the aggravation of water quality is not significant.

Environmental problems and the shortage of natural resources are currently gathering more attention in Korea and international countries. With these problems, it is reported that most current domestic buildings are emitting approximately 138 million tons of greenhouse gas. According to a recent report from the investigation of Korean housing population, the total number of households is approximately 12.9 millions, and the apartments that were built more than 15 years ago amounted to 3.1 millions. This shows that the rates of old apartment housings are increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the deteriorated facilities and environmental improvement. Also, the construction industry is benefited by improving these housings which may need either remodeling or reconstruction. Environmental friendly buildings are a rising consideration for remodeling and reconstruction projects; it helps to determine many business matters in construction. The main purpose of this research is to improve environmental condition in apartments with comparison analysis between remodeling and reconstruction alternatives. This research is focused on characteristics of remodeling and reconstruction and it sets up the same condition with each level in order to evaluate the value of environmental friendliness and analyze its definition. The result of this research provides a unique emitting rate at a novel framework and this will cause the reduction of $CO_2$. It is analyzed that the remodeling construction can reduce the great amount of $CO_2$. Therefore, it will be a good decision guideline in selecting the most eco-friendly alternative to improve environment for building construction. Although reconstruction is a popular alternative nowadays in Korea, this research can provide a reason why decision makers should put more emphasis on remodeling as an environment-friendly alternative.

Recently, the frequency of extreme rainfall event has increased due to climate change and impermeable area also has increased due to rapid urbanization. Therefore, we ought to prepare countermeasures for flood reduction to reduce the damage. To consider climate change, the frequency based rainfall was calculated according to the aimed period(reference : 1971~2010, Target period I : 2011~2040, Target period II : 2041~2070, Target period III : 2071~2100) and the flood discharge was also calculated by climate change using HEC-HMS model. Also, the flood elevation was calculated by each alternative through HEC-RAS model, setting 5 sizes of drainage pumps and reservoirs respectively. The flood map was constructed using topographical data and flood elevation, and the economic analysis was conducted for reduction of flood damage using Multi dimension - Flood Damage Analysis, MD-FDA. As a result of the analysis on the flood control effect, a head of drainage pump was reduced by 0.06m up to 0.44m while it was reduced by 0.01m up to 1.86m in the case of a detention pond. The flooded area shrunk by up to 32.64% from 0.3% and inundation depth also dropped. As a result of a comparison of the Benefit/Cost index estimated by the economic analysis, detention pond E in period I and pump D in period II and III were deemed appropriate as an alternative for climate change. The results are expected to be used as good practices when implementing the flood control works considering climate change.

현재 안양천 유역에서는 하천 유지유량 확보 및 건천화 방지를 위해 지하철 용출수, 하수처리장 방류수 및 재이용수가 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광범위한 유역에 적용이 가능하고, 점오염원 및 비점오염원 분석과 처리 대안의 효과 분석을 실시할 수 있는 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program - Fortran) 모형에 대해 민감도 분석을 실시한 후 안양천 중상류 유역에서 현재 활용되고 있는 유지유량 확보 방안에 대한 효과 분석을 수행하였다. 총유출량과 첨두유량에 대한 매개변수 민감도 분석 결과 AGWRC, DEEPFR, INFILT, LZSN, UZSN, IRC, INTFW, LZETP 순으로 민감하게 반응하였으며, 이 중 유출에 1% 이상 변화를 주는 매개변수 AGWRC, DEEPFR, INFILT, LZSN, UZSN, IRC를 모형의 보정 및 검증에 사용하였다. HSPF 모형을 이용하여 2004년 안양천 유역을 모의한 결과 갈수량 기준 시 안양천 중류 유량의 82%가 안양하수처리장에서 방류되는 방류수에 의한 것으로 나타났으며, 하수처리 재이용수와 지하철 용출수는 각각 4.6%와 1.3%의 영향을 보였다. 따라서 안양천 유역과 같은 건천화가 진행되고 있는 도시하천의 경우 지하철 용출수 및 하수처리수 등의 하천 유지유량 확보 방안은 물순환 건전화의 중요한 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.

자연 하천의 홍수 유량 측정은 매우 어렵고 많은 비용과 시간, 노력을 요하는 작업이다. 보다 안전하고 경제적인 유량 측정의 대안으로 제시된 것이 하천 표면의 영상 분석을 이용하는 표면영상유속계이다. 이처럼 영상유속계로 하천 유속을 측정할 때, 적절한 품질의 영상을 취득하는 것은 기본이며 매우 중요한 단계이다. 특히 홍수 첨두는 야간에 발생하는 경우가 많으므로, 야간에 영상 분석에 적절한 품질의 하천 표면영상을 취득하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 야간 영상을 측정하기 위해 별도의 조명을 이용하거나 발광체를 이용하는 방법이 대안으로 제시되었으나 여전히 실용적인 차원의 적용에는 이르지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계의 영상 취득 장치로 원적외선 카메라를 이용할 수 있는가 시험하였다. 원적외선 카메라는 별다른 조명의 도움없이 야간의 하천 표면영상을 취득할 수 있다. 안동하천실험센터의 인공수로에서 주야간 촬영을 하고 영상 분석을 통해 원적외선 카메라의 적용성을 검토하였다. 비교를 위하여 일반적인 캠코더와 근적외선 카메라를 동시에 적용하였다. 세 종류의 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 시공간 영상의 상호상관 분석법을 통해 유속으로 환산하고, 미속계로 측정한 표면 유속과 비교하였다. 비교 결과 원적외선 카메라 영상은 주야간에 상관없이 적절한 유속을 분석해 낼 수 있음을 보였다. 다만, 공간 해상도가 높지 않아 영상 분석의 정확도는 최적의 조건에서 다른 카메라로 촬영된 영상에 비해 떨어진다.

This study was performed to acquire the information on the foodborne pathogen risk management programs in a couple of developed countries by the expert meeting and searching the information on the web. The backgrounds, strategies and effects related to microbial hazards of the foodborne pathogen reduction programs in fresh produce (US), Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef (US), Salmonella in chicken, pork and eggs (Denmark), and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood (Japan) were investigated for case study. A comparison among the pathogen reduction programs was conducted to find advantages and disadvantages and implications of the policies to bring out implications of the programs. A model for foodborne pathogen reduction program was developed based on both the CODEX risk management scheme and the case studies as follows; 1) preliminary risk management activities, 2) planing a foodborne pathogen reduction program, 3) option identification and selection, 4) implementation (conducting the each stake-holders role and applying the intervention methods), 5) monitoring activities, 6) interim review, 7) continuation or amendment of implementation method by the interim review before achieving the goal, and 8) final review and additional cost-benefit analysis if necessary. This proposed model according to the role of the stake-holders can be used to conduct microbial risk management programs in Korea in the near future.

The purpose of this study is to propose the alternative development method by means of determining the optimal project size from the economic viewpoint, improving the existing method depending on engineering aspects. To this end, this study defined the flood mitigation projects as the production activities carried out by inputs and outputs, and proposed the alternative development method on the basis of optimizing input and output combinations. This paper, as the case study of the proposed method, developed alternatives for the flood mitigation planning of Youngsan River Basin by determining the optimal project scale. As the result of determining optimal project size, the net benefit of the optimal alternative tended to be dependent on the net benefits of the large individual proposals. Due to such problem, the effect of relatively small individual proposals are underestimated and possibly be excluded from the optimal alternative, which may result in exclusion of the potential damaged regions protected by them from the flood mitigation project. Thus for the selective flood protection by region, individual proposals need to be categorized into the global measures and local measures according to the flood protection area.

The integrated basin-wide flood mitigation planning has a numerous individual proposals with different characteristics. So, it makes difficult to develop the optimal alternative that combines such elements. To develop the optimal alternative, it's necessary not only to assess the flood damage but also to define a tolerable degree of damage. Such a definition is made in a way, dubbed the 'social consensus' in a broad sense; but initially, it requires the analysis of the economic efficiency within a scope, which is technically achievable. This study aims to propose the alternatives development method so that the combination of the individual proposals could be economically efficient. To this end, this study defined the flood mitigation projects as the economic production activities carried out by inputs and outputs, and proposed the optimal project size as the principle of developing alternatives. This study may have the worth in improving the alternatives development method by considering the optimal project scale from the economic viewpoint while the existing method depending on engineering aspect. Such approach is expected to correspond to the current government's policy that avoids the passive flood mitigation focused on channel-wide planning but pursues the basin-wide flood mitigation planning focusing on damaged area, thereby provide efficient tools to come up with the solution.
