To identify the detailed attenuation structure in the southern Korean Peninsula, a numerical test was conducted for the Q tomography inversion to be applied to the accumulated dataset until 2005. In particular, the stochastic pointsource ground-motion model (STGM model; Boore, 2003) was adopted for the 2D Q tomography inversion for direct application to simulating the strong ground-motion. Simultaneous inversion of the STGM model parameters with a regional single Q model was performed to evaluate the source and site effects which were necessary to generate an artificial dataset for the numerical test. The artificial dataset consists of simulated Fourier spectra that resemble the real data in the magnitude-distance-frequency-error distribution except replacement of the regional single Q model with a checkerboard type of high and low values of laterally varying Q models. The total number of Q blocks used for the checkerboard test was 75 (grid size of $35{\times}44km^2$ for Q blocks); Q functional form of $Q_0f^{\eta}$ ($Q_0$=100 or 500, 0.0 < ${\eta}$ < 1.0) was assigned to each Q block for the checkerboard test. The checkerboard test has been implemented in three steps. At the first step, the initial values of Q-values for 75 blocks were estimated. At the second step, the site amplification function was estimated by using the initial guess of A(f) which is the mean site amplification functions (Yun and Suh, 2007) for the site class. The last step is to invert the tomographic Q-values of 75 blocks based on the results of the first and second steps. As a result of the checkerboard test, it was demonstrated that Q-values could be robustly estimated by using the 2D Q tomography inversion method even in the presence of perturbed source and site effects from the true input model.

The aim of this article is to assess the application characteristics of the site by remediating oil-contaminated area using DSB (Deep-site Biopile) system. In the contaminated area, the soil was composed of penetrable sand and the leaked oil was spread widely (total 7,201 cubic meters) through 2.5 meter deep underground water flow. DSB system was operated for 30 minutes intervals for 24 hours in a day (30 minutes opεration and 30 minutes stop). To check contamination level change in the contaminated area after DSB system was operated, samples were taken. The result from the site shows that BTEX/TPH contamination level was dropped 50% after 30-day operation of DSB system, and that contamination level was dropped below contamination level check standard after 165 days and the remediation was completed. Unlike traditional biological remediation methods DSB system could efficiently process soil and water which were contaminated by high levels of oil compounds.

Recently, housing prices in metropolitan areas is also increasing in the UK and Australia. Their governments are trying to solve this problem by the housing development in the quarry sites near cities. The cases reviewed in this study, Erith Hill Quarry (The Quarry), Plymstock Quarry, Lilydale Quarry (Kinley), and Bombo Quarry are the mixed-used development cases in the closed quarry sites through the urban planning system. In the UK, the local government uses the urban planning scheme such as the planning permit system, section 106. The local government permits the quarry site development on the condition that it provides necessary public facilities, such as schools and affordable housing for the local community. In Australia, local governments use up-zoning permission rights to convert land uses in quarries from industrial to mixed-use. Development plans have to include urban infrastructure and open space in addition to affordable housings. In the case of Australia, establishing a development plan in advance and filling the quarry pit with overburden through a phased development is expected to have the effect of reducing the project cost. Both countries think that developing brownfields, such as quarry sites, is a more sustainable and eco-friendly development from the perspective of future generations than developing new green fields. Such a perspective of the UK and Australia will be able to give policy implications for our slightly rigid urban development system.

Industrial parks have played a pivotal role in leading and sustaining economic and regional development in Korea. It is conventionally known that industrial parks induce a variety of effects in regional economy from a formation stage to an operational stage. Notwithstanding it is surprising that there is almost no literature on economic effects of the formation and operation of industrial parks. In this paper we attempt to measure economic effects of the formation of industrial parks in Gimhae, Sanmak (Yangsan) and Haman in Gyeongnam. The formation stage of industrial park is divided into a site renovation stage, a firm location stage and an operational stage. This research shows that economic effects of the formation of industrial parks can be different by the characteristics of individual industrial park. Particularly, the main sectors of industry to be located in an industrial park can be to a great extent influential for the effects of the new creation of industrial park on productive inducement and job creation.

하천은 자연의 현상 또는 인위적인 작용에 대해 끊임없는 반응과 응답의 과정을 통하여 복잡한 형태의 안정화를 이루고 있다. 하지만 인간은 경제적인 논리와 편의성 측면등의 이유로 하천에 대해 인위적인 간섭이 지속적으로 이루어져 왔다. 이는 하천이 본래 가지고 있던 자연적인 하도 특성의 급격한 변화를 초래하였다. 이러한 영향으로 인한 많은 변화들 중, 하도 내 수역이 식생으로 천이가 진행되면서 최종적으로 육지화되는 육역화 현상은 수리학적 문제 및 환경생태적 측면에서 큰 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하도육역화를 제어하기 위해 하도 내 친환경적인 육역화 관리기법을 개발하고 이에 대한 적용성을 수리모형실험을 통해 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서 제시한 친환경적인 육역화 관리기법은 자연적인 배수효과를 이용 하였다. 이러한 친환경적인 육역화관리기법은 인공하도가 가지고 있는 하도와 고수부지의 수문학적 및 생태학적인 단절을 해소하였으며, 이를 물골 공법이라 명명하였다. 본 수리모형실험은 물골의 형상을 제시하기 위하여 하폭에 따라 물골크기를 무차원화 하였다. 또한 유사 제어 검증을 수행하기 위한 실험은 물골의 폭, 높이, 주기 및 가속수로 폭을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 물골 모형의 기본적인 흐름특성 분석을 위해 유속 및 수위를 측정한 결과 유속 및 수심은 하류를 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 유사 제어 효과 검증을 위해 소류력 및 마찰속도를 산정하여 도시하였으며, 이는 세굴 및 퇴적의 현상이 물골 주기에 따라 반복적으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 수위하강시 물골의 형상에 따라 흐름이 원활하게 배제되어 고수부지에 유사퇴적 방지 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되며, 물골공법이 친환적인 육역화 관리기법으로 활용가능성이 있는 것으로 기대된다. 향후 보다 상세한 수리모형실험이 수행된다면, 물골 공법 설계 및 현장적용을 위한 기초자료를 확보 할 수 있을 것이다.

모래저장형댐(sand dam)은 계곡이나 하천을 가로질러 보를 설치하고 확보된 공간을 모래와 같은 공극이 큰 투수성 재료로 채운 후 그 채움재 안에 물을 저장하는 구조물로서 증발량이 큰 건조지역에서 수자원 확보 수단으로 널리 이용되고 있다(Hanson and Nilsson, 1986). 국내에서는 차수 및 저류를 위한 제체를 지하 땅속에 설치한 지하수댐을 운영하거나 사방댐을 소규모 수자원공급시설로 개조하여 활용한 일부 사례가 있으나, 전형적인 모래저장형댐의 설계, 시공, 운영 사례가 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 A지역을 대상으로 모래저장형댐의 저류용량을 설계하고 수자원 확보효과를 분석하기 위해서 유역수문모형 SWAT으로 모의한 장기유출량과 방류구, 위어 등을 고려한 저수지 유출추적을 수행하였다. 모래저장형댐의 형태, 규모, 취수량, 지형조건, 수문학적 조건 등에 따른 댐내 수위, 저류량, 방류량 등의 변화를 분석하여 설치 부지에 대한 적정 설계 인자를 도출하였다. 또한 평시 및 가뭄시 물공급 효과와 유황개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석, 제시하였다.

There are several remediation technologies for heavy metal contaminated soils but increasing cost limits the application of the technology if the contaminated area is large. Therefore, stabilization, which blocks the release of heavy metals or makes slow the release, is one of the applicable technology for the heavy metal contaminated soil. Current study is an applicability test for a smelter area with various stabilizer such as magnetite, hematite, zeolite-A, zeolite-X, zeolite-Y, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide, manganese dioxide, fish bone, sodium phosphate. The soil contaminated with arsenic, lead, copper, nickel, and zinc could not be stabilized only one stabilizer which is known to have stability for certain metal. Many of the stabilizer works for a few metal but not all of the heavy metal. In several cases, stabilizers increase the release of the other metals while they stabilize some metals. In general, the stabilizing efficiency was increased with time. For Ni, Pb, calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide had good stabilizing effect in water extractable portion. For Cu, manganese oxide, zeolite showed good results especially in the exchangeable portion of the sequential extraction. For As, magnetite had good ability but most of the metal oxide which showed good result for other heavy metals increased with the release of As. Current study suggest that multiple stabilizers are needed for the contaminated soil and dose of the stabilizer and stabilizing time should be carefully considered for the soil contaminated with various metals.

Field study was conducted for 5 months to investigate the effect of leachate recirculation on aerobic landfill stabilization at active landfilling site. The area of field experiment was $24{\times}24m$ and 9 vertical air injection wells with screen ranging 3~9 m were installed. Aerobic landfill operation for 5 months increased average internal landfill temperature to $70^{\circ}C$ and 8 % of landfill height was settled down. $94m^3$ of leachate was recirculated for 1 month to increase moisture content of landfill to favor microbial degradation of organic matter, which resulted in temporary increase of groundwater level and anaerobic environment. But leachate recirculation triggered increase of internal landfill temperature of neighboring monitoring well. Because excessive leachate recirculation decreased internal landfill temperature by cooling effect, internal landfill temperature should be checked to avoid abrupt decrease of temperature during leachate recirculation. Also, to prevent anaerobic environment, intermittent leachate recirculation was recommended.

The ports have been confronted with rapid environmental changes. This means that it is imperative to enhance the competitiveness by resolving the chronic and difficult problems regarding Busan New Port. This paper, hence, suggests how to activate the hinterland of the New Port. The New Port was designed to become a leading logistics port in Northeast Asia and its economic ripple effect was expected to be much greater with the construction of New Port Hinterland. The government should also seek to supply the sufficient land as well as establish port clusters with various port-related industries, which enables the New Port to survive the forthcoming harsh environmental changes and meet the diverse demands. Those measures also enable the New Port to overcome the deterioration of the competitiveness and enjoy the economies of scale. The cluster-based hinterland policy framework is sure to be very efficient but should be complemented with infrastructure policies for the better policy-mix.

It is expected that the temporary storage facilities at the nuclear power plants will be full of the spent fuels within 10 years. Provided that a centralized interim storage facility is constructed along the coast of the Korean peninsula to solve this problem, a substantial amount of spent fuels should be transported by sea or by land every year. In this paper we developed a computer program for the analysis of transportation logistics of the spent fuels from 4 different nuclear power plant sites to the hypothetical centralized interim storage facility and the final repository. Mass balance equations were used to analyze the logistics between the nuclear power plants and the interim storage facility. To this end a computer program, CASK, was developed by using the VISUAL BASIC language. The annual transportation rates of spent fuels from the four nuclear power plant sites were determined by using the CASK program. The parameter study with the program illustrated the easiness of logistics analysis. The program could be used for the cost analysis of the spent fuel transportation as well.
