Ecological risk assessment(ERA) to 5 abandoned mine drainage was investigated by using chemical measurement and bioassay experiment. From the results of chemical analysis, the high concentration of heavy metals are detected in most area. The Arsenite were mostly detected in Songcheon, Nakdong, and Dukum abandoned mine area, and various heavy metals were highly dispersed in Nakdong area. The study area have also high biological toxicity, resulted from the bioassay based on WET(Whole Effluent Toxicity) test by using Vibrio fisheri, Selenastrum copricornutum, and Daphnia magna. The maximum toxicity was shown in the point where the mine waters start to flow. The sensitivity of toxicity by S. capricornutum was relatively high considering the values of toxicity in all samples, from 1.3 to 32.0 TU. The different sensitivities of toxicity recommends the use of battery system, resulted from at least two test species for bioassay or ecological risk assessment of mine drainage. Besides, the results showed high hazard quotient(i.e., greater than 1 HQ value indicating potentially significant toxic risks) with regard to abandoned mine drainage area in this study. On the other hand, the biological toxicity results were sharply decreased by attenuation along further distance from discharging of mine waters. Therefore, environmental parameters including the dilution factor, dissolved organic matter, and hardness should be considered when the remediation and ERA of abandoned mine drainage is planned.

The sediment makes up the sea floor and plays an important role as a habitats for living things in the sea. However, pollution of coastal sediment due to internal and external factors such as inflow of contaminants from land and self-pollution becoming more serious, the needs for management of sediment that play an important role in ecology, is increasing. In particular, the review and evaluation of the effects of sediment in marine development projects including reclamation and dredging, have significance in terms of proactive protection and management of surrounding ecosystems. This study proposed the improvement measures for marine sediment management standards on the sea area utilization consultation for the development of public water. For the purpose, The evaluation and management standards of domestic and overseas marine sediments were reviewed and compared. The sediment environment guidelines under the Marine Environment Management Act of Korea were reviewed. Accordingly, the cases of Canada and NOAA, which have various evaluation standards consist of comprehensive factors, were analyzed. For analysis of operational cases, the port and fishing port development projects for the last five years (2016-2020) that are considered to have the greatest impact on sediments among the sea area use consultations were also reviewed. Finally, this study suggested that the assessment factors for ecological hazards and potential human risks should be considered in the sediment environmental standards in the sea area utilization consultation system.

'기업 생태계'에서 '유니콘'이란 표현법은 2013년 'Aileen Lee'에 의해 명명된 이래, 특히 한국에서 '스타트업 생태계'의 국제적 수준 비교의 차원에서 활발하게 다루어졌다. 정부 차원에서는 이를 정책적 목표로 설정하여, '2022년까지 유니콘 기업 20개 목표'를 제시한 바 있다. 이와 같이 '유니콘 클럽 기업'에 대한 현상이 정책적 목표 차원에서 다루어지며, 대중적으로 더욱 확산된데 반해, 이에 대한 실체적 및 본질적 이해 목적의 학술적 연구는 충분치 못하였다. 본 연구는, 첫째, 2018년 기준 '유니콘 클럽' 기업 326개 및 2019년 479개의 기업을 대상으로 이들의 특성을 심층적이고 다면적으로 분석하였다. 그동안 주로 국가 별 '유니콘 기업' 수 및 산업 분류 기준 일반현황 중심의 대중적 소개가 주된 내용이었다. 그러나, 본 연구는 투자자를 포함한 기초 현황을 상세 분석하였고, 사례분석을 포함한 질적 탐색을 수행하였다. 또한 군집분석, 판별분석, 다층 회귀분석 등 양적 탐색을 함께 수행하였다. 개별기업의 '기업가 요인-산업(시장)환경 요인-자원 요인-전략 요인', 즉 'ERIS 모델'에 기반하여 그 특성을 살펴보았다. 둘째, 기업가치에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 앞서 분석한 특성 요인 및 투자자 특성과 연계하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 마지막으로는 이들을 토대로 '기업 생태계' 관점에서 유니콘 현상'을 바르게 이해하고, 또한 정책적 측면에서 이를 생산적으로 활용하는 방향을 제시하였다.

청계천 복원의 효과가 하천의 형상, 종 조성, 종 다양성 변화의 유연성 및 환경 개선 효과 측면에서 검토되었다. 복원된 청계천은 하천의 종단 및 횡단 형상에서 모두 낮은 자연성을 나타내었다. 종 조성은 부분적으로 자연하천과 유사한 조성을 보였으나 전반적으로 낮은 자연성을 보였다. 종 다양성은 비교적 낮았지만 복원의 역사를 고려할 때 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 하류와 수변에서는 홍수 후 많은 변화를 가져와 자연으로 회귀할 가능성도 보였지만 상류와 홍수터 이상에서는 변화의 유연성이 낮아 자연으로 회귀하는데 많은 시간이 소요될 것으로 평가되었다. 인공위성 영상 분석 결과, 복원된 청계천은 기온 완화 효과를 나타내었다. 그 밖에 복원된 청계천은 그 주변의 분산된 녹지를 연결하여 그린네트워크를 구축하고자 할 때 핵심적 역할을 할 것으로 기대되어 경관생태적 측면에서의 환경개선효과도 기대되었다.

The goal of current study is to carry out comparative analysis on the relationship between nature perspectives and their corresponding utilities by taking integrated approach combining economic values with environmental ones. The results are as follows. First, empirical evidence shows that the structures of happiness function differ according to nature perspectives. The anthropocentric-nature perspective is centered on economic value. Whilst, environment and social trust play an statistically insignificant role in deciding happiness levels. Secondly, the eco-centric perspective possesses a multi-facted structure of happiness function composing of income, environment, and social trust. In this vein, it is no reasonable behavior, from happiness maximization view, to focus on economic value vis-a-vis use value.

Ecotourism is an alternative tourism which can be defined as responsible tourism in natural areas. This study deals with changing the tourists' environmental attitudes of ecotourism activities based on the elaboration likelihood model(ELM). The surveys were conducted based on the same participants to clearly measure the differences of environmental attitudes between pre and post-participation ecotourism activities. A total of 183 samples were collected in Upo Wetlands. The results showed that there were significant differences in the tourists' environmental attitudes between pre and post-participation ecotourism activities. This indicates that ecotourism participants delicately reinforce their eco-friendly attitudes through various ecotourism experiences and educational programs. The most significant finding is that anti-environmental behavior can be relieved with eco-friendliness through participation in ecotourism.

추계학적 기상모형(Stochastic weather generator)은 기상자료의 결측치 보완, 장기간의 기상 시계열 자료 생성, 지역적 기후변화 시나리오의 통계학적 다운스케일링에 적용되어 왔다. 이러한 추계학적 기상모형은 수자원, 농업, 환경, 생태 등의 분야에 적용되어, 수자원 설계, 점/비점오염 거동, 생태 및 수문학적 영향 평가의 중요한 도구로 이용되어 오고 있다. 또한, 최근 가장 큰 이슈가 되고 있는 기후변화의 영향을 평가하는데 필수불가결한 분야이다. 이 분야의 중요한 변화는 과거에는 지점별로 각각 기상자료를 생성하였으나, 최근에는 지점간의 상관성을 고려한 다지점 해석이 계속적으로 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유역규모에 적용하기 타당한 기상자료생성을 위하여 관측지점간의 상관성, 강수장(rainfall field)의 생성, 호우이동(storm movement)을 고려한 추계학적 기상모형을 제안하고, 충주댐 유역을 대상으로 그 적용성을 평가하였다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the trend of ecosystem water quality regulating services in Odaesan National park of the last five years and the corresponding economic values. Recently the climate change makes increased the value of the water, it is more important to protect the source of the riverthan to purify the contaminated water. To evaluate the water quality regulating services, we calculated the difference between purification and pollution from national park and estimated the quantitative value of the water quality regulating services. As a results, the amount of the value of the water quality regulating services from 2017 to 2021 was increased from approximately BOD 128.21 kg/Day, T-P 12.11 kg/Day to BOD 161.38 kg/Day, T-P 13.24 kg/Day and the economic value also increased from 2,304 million won to 2,817 million won.

The frequency and intensity of abnormal climate caused by climate change is increasing in Korea. Also, the amount of damage from disaster is increasing rapidly. The research on vulnerability assessment analyzes environmentally, socially and economically vulnerable indicators and is ongoing to reduce the intensity of damage and establish adaptation policies for climate change. Therefore, in this study, we assessed vulnerability using weighting value derived by the regression equation. There are 3 evaluation items : vulnerability assessment for farmland erosion to flood, vulnerability assessment for health to heat wave, vulnerability assessment for forest fire to drought. For this study, indicators for each sectors were selected and spatial data for each sectors were established using GIS program. Results showed that vulnerability to heat wave was more affected by climate factors. On the other hand, vulnerability to flood and drought was more affected by social-economic factors. Then, to analysis efficiency of the regression analysis, vulnerability result was compared between the existing vulnerability research with no weighting applied and the vulnerability research with the influence of weighting value derived by the regression. This study showed that the regression analysis is efficient to provide practical and feasible alternatives in terms of planning climate change adaptation policies and it is expected to be utilized for vulnerability assessment in the future.
