This paper decomposed energy productivity changes across 14 Korean manufacturing industries into 5 components, technological catch-up(EC), technological progress(TC), and changes in labor-energy ratio(LC), capital-energy ratio(KC) and energy mix(EMC). Then we also figured out the possible relationship between energy productivity change and export growth rate across the industries. It is found that (1) technological progress, changes in capital-energy ratio and energy mix contribute to energy productivity growth in Korea during the sample period, (2) technological progress is the primary driving forces for energy productivity growth, (3) increase in export growth rate had a positive impact on energy productivity growth excepting a part of energy-intensive industries.

Approximately 0.7 millions dining business exist all over the country and the industry gains 33 trillions sales every year. Although the characteristics, preference factors, and consuming trends of the consumers in this area are diverse and unpredictable than those in other segments, it is actual that the industry has not been divided as a specified market suited to the real state of affairs in the nation. Therefore, in order for appropriate marketing strategies, it will be necessary to focus on extending product classification, diversifying brands, health marketing, and marketing by ages, by generations, and by life patterns. In addition, economically superior position can be established by subdividing strategies meeting various needs and expectations of consumers.

After the second world war the vulgar functionalism, which was called as the international style, was developed in the interest of the post capitalistic society. The vulgar functionalism reflected only inhuman commercialism and brought to psycho-mental and social problems. By the result in the mid-sixties the criticism movement of the functionalism had began as a king of the 68-movement in the german architecture and design scene. And it went on in the seventies, and had a decisive influence on the forming of the extended functionalism. The extended functionalism is bases on the definition of functions in the using process of the mass production and consumption society. Those functions, viz. Practical Function, Theoretical Function, Ecological Function, (formal-) Aesthetical Function, Indicating Function, Symbolical Function, have been the core criteria in the analysis and developing phase of the todays' german design scene.

From a general perspective of design history, the design methodology movement is interpreted in relations to the rationalistic and universal characteristics of modernism. This essay explores a historical context of the movement, focusing on its discursive and practical relations to cyborg sciences that has been shaped by the research and development of military technology in Cold War America. The formation of such relations could be largely devided into two processes: One is the process in which methods and techniques of system science that included operation research, system analysis, and system engineering, were appropriated by the first generation methodologists who had tried to establish "the science of design", and the other is the one in which Herbert Simon's studies on problem solving and artificial intelligence became profoundly embedded in theoretical frameworks of design methodology after the first generation. Examining such processes critically, this essay argues that a design process became finally redefined by the third generation methodology, as a 'feedback loop' of circulation of production and consumption, that is, an apparatus of information-processing which gives a concrete form to the "invisible hand" of markets.

From environmental point of view, the foreign exchange crisis has motivated the Government to make the positive promoting policy for holding the foreign currency, leading to a series of small companies' bankruptcy due to foreign distribution companies' advance into our country, creating a new consuming culture. Though inaugurations have been vividly in progress in the aftermath of recession, reduced staffs and arranged layoff, their way gives priority to the reduced frame of the existing method rather tham the development or improvement of a new distribution. It is difficult to attain the sales goal unless a marketing analysis is not properly made, due to store managers' lack in expertism of management. In view of culture, the change of retail stores is imperative at the point that the type of consumers' purchase is rapidly changing and a more positive business system is needed. preventing an opportunistic loss of management through the analysis of outcome such as consumer management, sales management and account management by using computers. In view of design. the display in sale is to interpret products more charmingly, and should make interpretation accurately by selecting an important theme. For this, taking the store for valuables for instance. the progress on the effective foundation and store dinic business by presenting the design blue print can be made, and the strategy coping with the foreign distribution market's rush into Korea can be established. through the advanced store management.

2008년 상반기 국내 민간최종소비지출 중 카드 사용비중은 54%로, 이제 카드는 결제수단의 최대 강자로 자리잡았다. 경제활동인구 1인당 신용카드 소지수도 2002년 4.6매에서 2005년 3.5매로 떨어졌다가 2008년도까지 3.8매 선으로 안정되고 있다. 신용카드 이외의 은행, 증권, 저축은행 등의 현금인출용 카드와 교통카드, 모바일 칩카드, 백화점카드, 학생증카드, 직원ID카드, 마일리지카드, 기타 멤버십카드 등을 합하면 국민들의 지갑은 현금보다도 플라스틱카드로 두툼해져 있다. 이동통신서비스 사업자들은 이동통신단말기를 이용하여 다양한 서비스를 개발 제공함으로써 시장의 주도권을 노리고 있고, 교통카드 사업자들은 자사의 전자화폐인 교통카드로 주도권을 지키려 하고 있으며, 기존의 강자였던 은행과 카드사들은 고객을 빼앗기지 않기 위해 고객이 필요로 하는 다양한 서비스는 제공하면서도 주도권은 지키려고 하는 경쟁과 협력이 활발하게 전개되고 있다. 한편, MS카드는 읽기/쓰기가 쉬워 정보유출, 위변조, 복제 등을 통한 사고의 위험이 커서, 선진국뿐 아니라 중동, 중남미, 아시아 국가들까지도 IC카드로의 전환이 진행되고 있다. 국제브랜드 카드사들은 2006년 1월부터 IC카드가 MS 단말기에서 부정 사용될 경우 그 책임을 매입사에 전가시키는 제도(Transitional Chip Liability Shift Program)를 시행하고 있어 국내 카드사들의 피해도 예상된다. 금융감독 당국은 2003년 2월 “IT및 전자금융 안전성 제고대책”에 의거 2008년 말까지 100% IC카드로 전환을 목표로 연도별 전환목표를 통보하고 지도감독하고 있다. 이에 따라 은행의 현금카드는 2008년 6월까지, 신용카드는 2008년 12월까지 전환을 수행하고 있으나, 기타 금융권이나 카드사용자들은 비용부담, 재고소진 등의 문제로 잘 지켜지지 않고 있다. 특히 가맹점 단말기를 교체하여야 할 VAN사 들은 교체비용이 자기 자본을 상회하는 어려움으로 POS나 CAT단말은 거의 전환이 진행되지 않고 있어 IC카드를 가지고 있어도 MS를 이용하는 형편이다. 카드의 종류는 주도권 경쟁으로 늘어만 가고 있어 애초 취지처럼 하나의 카드로 다양한 사업자의 서비스가 통합되기 어려운데다, 단말기의 표준화도 어려워 막상 카드를 안전하고 편리하게 사용하여야 할 소비자들의 지갑만 무거워지고 있다. 본고는 이렇게 우리의 생활 깊숙이 들어온 카드를 편리하고 안전하게 사용할 수 있도록 하는 인프라는 과연 어느 수준이고 시장의 주자들은 어느 방향으로가고 있는지 살펴보고 그 문제점과 과제를 제시하고자 한다.

It is well agreed that transportation is not the end by itself, rather it is a means to achieve other goals to enhance the quality of life. Accordingly, various social impacts of transportation systems, such as destruction of community social life of urban residents, separation of community area, and accessibility restriction on the transportation handicapped, which can deteriorate the quality of life of the residents should be considered seriously in the process of urban transportation planning. The urban transportation planning process of Korea which emphasizes too much on the of efficiency objectives of transportation, however, have neglected greatly the social sides of urban transportation systems. This paper discusses major social impacts of urban transportation systems in Korea and proposes several research fields related to the social impacts of urban transportation.

Global warming has been hot issue world wide. Korea has been dealing with the global issue under the slogan of low carbon and green-growth such as setting national greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and allocation to each industrial sector. Infrastructure construction, in which enormous social overhead capital (SOC) is input, has great role as one of the actions. Road is one of the representative infrastructure and large amount of resources is utilized in its construction, operation and maintenance stage. The estimation methodology of life cycle carbon emissions was developed and applied to a case study of highway currently under construction in this study. Also, total carbon emissions of all the highway in South Korea at present (2009) and cumulative carbon emissions from 2009 to 2020 were estimated using the results of case study.

This study is concerned with analysing complexity, flexibility and dynamism of social discoursive space. The developmental process of social discourse is analogous to that of a spatial structure of social discourse. Post-capitalist society has seen New-Liberalism and New-Conservatism have become dominant, resulting in the deterioration of the cultural politics of citizenship. It is argued that the position of otherness, in which those binary structures (inside/outside or centre/margin) collide and collapse, is where subversive discourse can emerge to dominant discursive power. Furthermore, it is necessary to democratize social discursive space, through which the Other becomes able to. participate in the social production, distribution and consumption of social discourse.

Colonialism heretofore described merely as a political economic phenomenon denotes another aspect, namely, an ecological imperialism that accompanies the biological implantation of human beings, crops, weeds, domestic animals, and pathogens onto colonized lands. Foremost, the Korean Peninsula during the colonial period served as a testing ground for the transplanted Japanese varieties of rice. Near the mid-1940s, the new varieties came to dominate over 90% of cultivated rice paddy. The speedy diffusion of transplanted rice was attributable to the aggressive promotion of agricultural institutions led by the Institute of Agricultural Tests and Experiments. Various policies and tactics were also instrumental to the nationwide distribution of new varieties, and they included naming recommended varieties, sponsoring rice contests, establishing crop inspection offices, educating young farmers at training camps, and publishing newsletters for agricultural societies. The forward and backward linkages that came along with the new varieties of transplanted rice helped to consolidate colonial status quo and to create hybrid agricultural landscapes in the Korean countryside.
