The objective of this study is to estimate Korean transportation service index (KTSI), and to explore possible uses of the KTSI. The KTSI was monthly index to represent the level of passenger and freight services by road, railroad, air and maritime modes, which was developed from eight series. Four of these series measure the level of passenger services (passenger-kilometers) by road, railroad. air and maritime modes : monthly data from January 1995 to December 2004. Similarly. the remaining four series measure the level or freight activity (tonnage) by four modes during the same period. Given the weights of modal revenues, component series were aggregated into two indexes (passenger index and freight index) and a composite index using Chained Fisher Ideal index. which was a geometric mean of the Laspeyres index and the Passche index. The Fisher Ideal index is one of the 'superlative' indexes, which diminish 'substitution bias' as current-weighted indexes. As a result, the freight index and the composite index explain economic conditions better than the passenger index. Based on the composite index. the newly estimated KTSI shows an average lag time of one and a half years at peaks and three months at troughs in comparison with domestic business cycles. Nonetheless. the following efforts are needed for more credible and useful estimates; establishment of data collection scheme in time. credibility uplift of used data, development of various indexation methods.

The industrial by-products market has increased at a geometric rate worldwide with the rapid economic growth. Among the wide variety of industrial by-products, fly ash which is generated by the combustion of coal is one of the more troublesome industrial wastes because they entail substantial disposal cost and also cause a shortage of disposal sites. In Korea alone, fly ash generation is expected to increase to 5.8 million tons by 2009, and to 6 million tons by 2010. Given the accelerated industrial development in developing countries, the amount of fly ash generation is predicted to reach enormous levels throughout the world. An increasing number of studies have currently focused on the feasibility of recycling industrial wastes i.e., fly ash in terms of environmental advantages. In this study, the optimized mix proportion of high performance shotcrete using fly ash was determined for the purpose of promoting recycling and reuse of resources.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be released to humans and the environment through the generation of waste containing engineered nanomaterials (WCNMs) and the use and disposal of nano-products. Nanoparticles can also be introduced intentionally or unintentionally into waste streams. This study examined WCNMs in domestic industries, and target nanomaterials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were selected. We tested 48 samples, such as dust, sludge, ash, and by-products from manufacturing facilities and waste treatment facilities. We analyzed leaching and content concentrations for heavy metals and hazardous constituents of the waste. Chemical compositions were also measured by XRD and XRF, and the unique properties of nano-waste were identified by using a particle size distribution analyzer and TEM. The dust and sludge generated from manufacturing facilities and the use of nanomaterials showed higher concentrations of metals such as lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and zinc. Oiled cloths from facilities using nano silver revealed high concentrations of copper, and the leaching concentrations of copper and lead in fly ash were higher than those in bottom ash. In XRF measurements at the facilities, we detected compounds such as silicon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. We found several chemicals such as calcium oxide and silicon dioxide in the bottom ash of waste incinerators.

Resource productivity (GDP/DMC) is defined as GDP divided by DMC. However, it has shortcomings when estimating the value-added generated from material processing. In this paper, an energy coefficient is applied to GDP to develop a sub-indicator (referred to as GDPe/DMC). Consequently, South Korea, which is a secondary industry-oriented country, created 1,094.60 USD/ton from input materials and was ranked 4th on the OECD list, which is 10 levels higher than the level estimated by GDP/DMC. However, Luxembourg, which is a tertiary industry-oriented country, is ranked 16th on the OECD list, which is 12 levels lower than the level estimated by GDP/DMC. The resource productivity estimated by the sub-indicator (GDPe/DMC) developed in this study indicates that secondary industry-oriented countries are undervalued in the existing main GDP/DMC calculation. On the other hand, tertiary industry-oriented countries are downgraded due to the industrial features of the GDPe/DMC calculation. As a result of this paper, GDPe/DMC could be considered a more reasonable indicator to directly reflect the material input effect compared to the existing main indicator, GDP/DMC. This means that GDPe/DMC-induced resource productivities could be estimated to be slightly higher than the GDP/DMC-induced resource productivities for secondary industry-oriented countries. It is expected that the sub-indicator, GDPe/DMC, proposed in this study could be useful especially for comparing and analyzing the resource productivities between countries that have different industry structures. This study intended to consider a structurally energy/resource-intensive industry in estimating and analyzing national-level resource productivity. Thus, the sub-indicator, GDPe/DMC, may help minimize the distortion of interpreting national resource productivities in various situations, and be utilized as a more efficient tool when used together with GDP/DMC.

산업연구원이 지난 12월 21일 발표한 '2007년 경제.산업 전망'을 통해 2007년 성장률을 4.5%로 예상했다. 이는 한국은행(4.4%), 삼성경제연구소(4.3%)가 제시한 전망치 중 가장 높은 수치이다. 산업연구원은 올해 민간소비 증가율이 3.7%로 완만한 회복세를 지속하는 가운데 설비투자 증가율도 전년과 비슷한 7.2%에 이를 것으로 예상했다. 반면 건설투자는 민간 부문의 부진으로 2.3% 증가에 그치고 수출 증가율도 10%선에 머물러 전년(14.6% 추정)보다 주춤할 것으로 내다봤다. 이와 함께 경기순환 주기가 짧아진 가운데 올해 경기가 1.4분기 중 저점을 통과한 뒤 상승세로 전환될 것으로 내다봤다. 이에 따라 성장률은 상반기 4.0%로 다소 부진하다가 하반기 5.0%로 회복되는 '상저하고'의 양상을 보일 것으로 내다봤다. 산업연구원은 그러나 세계 경기에 따라 1.4분기 저점이 3%대로 떨어질 가능성도 배재할 수 없다고 전망했다. 올해 주요 기간산업 가운데 반도체 분야는 마이크로소프트의 윈도비스타 출시 등의 영향을 받아 고성장을 이룰 것으로 내다봤다. 생산은 IT제조업이 성장을 주도하고 수출은 기계산업군이 주도 할 것으로 내다봤다.

This paper examines the development process of China's venture capital industry and the characteristics of its capital spatial configuration. The results reveal that the development of China's venture capital industry has its unique modality, which varies greatly from existing studies, namely, the desynchronized paces of industry development as well as the regional real capital supply and demand trend. More detailed observation shows the Chinese venture capital's spatial configuration has three main characteristics: first, the separation of the registered location and the actual location of business operation; second, the division and spatial configuration of the venture fund's capital circulation. To find the relevant factors related to the above phenomena, a correlation analysis was conducted between both market factors and non-market factors with the above capital spatial configuration. The analysis confirmed that besides the market factors, local legislative condition also presents a high correlation with the phenomena.

The automotive supply chain is increasingly complex as automakers seek more profitable solutions with global out-sourcing and manufacturing strategies. In the automotive industry, using returnable plastic containers (RPCs) is very common for domestic operations, but for internationally, it has not been considered by many companies because of issues such as overall distance and difficulty of control. The results of this simulation can help to analyze the interactive and coherent behavior of packaging and supply chain systems. The data obtained from the model can be applied to make substantial decisions for choosing the most profitable packaging types, at the same time as it can lead to designing an optimum supply chain for RPCs used in international supply chains.

최근 급격한 기후변화와 도시화로 인하여 강우량 및 강우강도는 약 20% 증가하고 강우일수는 14% 감소하며 도시 기온이 최대 $3^{\circ}C$까지 증가하는 등의 현실적인 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이로 인한 도시 물순환체계의 파괴는 도시물관리 여건의 악화로 이어지고 특히 불투수면적 증가로 인한 도시 홍수 및 침수의 증가, 잦은 도시 고온 현상, 도시하천의 건천화로 수질 악화를 야기하는 실정이다. 이에 국토의 자연자원을 보전하고 기후변화에 적응하면서 도시의 안전도와 가치를 높이기 위한 물관리 정책은 먼저 물을 순환을 보다 적극적으로 반영하고 통합적인 물관리 체계 확보를 요구한다. 이를 위해서는 발생원 관리를 포함한 소규모 분산관리 체계로 변화하여야 하며 이들 시설에 대한 네트워크화를 통해 기후변화에 강건하고 통합관리쳬계를 구축하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 저영향개발(LID, Low Impact Development) 및 그린인프라(GI, Green Infrastructure) 기반의 분산식 빗물관리기법의 도입이 절실하다. 현재 국내에서는 제도적으로 기후변화 대비, 지속가능한 도시환경 구축을 위한 물순환 건전화를 위해 100대 국정화제에 포함시키는 등(2013.2) 도시계획 및 기반시설 설치 LID기법의 법제적 산업적 도입을 추진중에 있으나, LID 기술의 수자원 치수, 이수 및 환경 효율성에 대한 객관적인 정보의 부재, LID 기술에 대한 효율성 검증 및 인증시스템의 부재, LID 기술의 무분별한 국외기술 도입으로 인한 효과 저감, LID 기술의 설계, 시공, 관리를 위한 매뉴얼 및 가이드라인의 부재, LID 기술에 대한 지자체 지원 및 전문가 양성 시스템의 부재 등 복합적인 문제를 안고 있어 GI 및 LID 기술의 적용을 통한 새로운 도시 및 유역차원의 수자원확보와 재해경감기술 패러다임 확보가 용이하지 않다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 강우유출수 관리를 위한 LID기술 신뢰도 향상 및 단일화, 표준화된 효율성 검증 기술 개발과 더 나아가서 도시-건축-수자원-도로-조경 등의 종합적인 인프라를 바탕으로 LID기술 통합관리 및 기술 고도화를 위해 부산대학교 GI LID 물순환 실증단지의 계획 및 구축을 수행하였다.

월성 원자력발전소와 같은 중수로에 쓰이는 개량 핵연료(CANFLEX)가 새로이 개발돼, 중수로형 원자력발전소의 안전성은 물론 경제성을 크게 향상시키게 되었다. 한국원자력연구소와 캐나다원자력공사는 최근 천연 우라늄을 사용하는 개량 핵연료(CANFLEX-NU)와 순환 우라늄을 사용하는 고연소도 핵연료(CANFLEX-RU)의 공동 개발에 대한 협정을 체결하였다. 이를 통해 우리 나라는 중국$\cdot$아르헨티나$\cdot$터키 등 중수로 발전소 건설을 추진중인 제3국 핵연료 시장에 단독 진출할 수 있는 교두보를 마련하였다. 개량 핵연료를 노후되는 기존 중수로 원전에 사용할 경우 향후 10년간 약 400억 원의 비용절감효과가 예상된다. 한국원자력연구소 중수로핵연료개발팀(팀장 석호천 박사)이 캐나다원자력공사와 공동 개발한 중수로용 개량 핵연료의 개발 경위 등을 알아본다.
