In this paper, we analyze the components and trends of carbon emissions using the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index decomposition method in Korean electricity industry during the period 1991~2007. In the demand side, carbon emissions are affected by electricity intensity and structural shift and especially electricity intensity is identified as the major factor which has lead carbon emissions decreasing. In the supply side, the result in variations of carbon emission for electric power generation depends on the influences of fossil fuel mix, fuel intensity, generation mix and so on. As a result fuel intensity is the most negative effect on both carbon emission intensity and the amount of carbon emission while the change of generation mix has a positive effect on increasing carbon emissions. And to conclude it needs to make the strategic policies to improve electricity intensity in the demand and to rise emission efficiency as well as to substitute thermal power generation in supply side.

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 aims at providing an economic assessment for incineration plants which recover heat during its incineration process. In this study, Life Cycle Cost(LCC) of incineration plants is performed based on each regression analysis formula for construction cost, operation cost, and heat generation in order to compare economic feasibility. The result shows that the incineration plant recovering waste heat while processing 80 tons of waste per day increases both initial investment and operation cost but this type of an incineration plant has economical predominance from the recovered waste heat over the one that does not recover heat when being operated for more than eleven years if the retrieved heat replaces the use of LNG. And its payback time reaches more than 19 years in case of selling heat and performing emission trading.

From the perspective of climate-smart agriculture, it is becoming more critical to accurately estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector. In order to accurately ascertain the methane emissions from rice paddies, which account for a significant portion of the emission from the agricultural sector, we used the data from the 2010 Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census, the revised water management scaling factors and their calculation program. In order to facilitate the analyses and understanding, the results were mapped using the ArcGIS software. The fact that the validation of the mapped values against the actual field measurements at one site showed little difference encourages the necessity to further this study. The administrative districts-based map of methane emission can help clearly identify the regional differences. Furthermore, the analysis of their major controlling factors will provide important scientific basis for the practical policy makings for methane mitigation.

According to the issue "global warming", many regulations and agreements with countries in the world are becoming set and it is being fulfill now. Under the progress of Post Kyoto Protocol agreement, It will be sure that Korea rave a duty to reduce $CO_2$ emission from 2013. For them, Korea have to make a strategies about the Climatic Change Convention for all industries. Recently, a great attention about $CO_2$ emission in the world is focused on port, shipping line and airline. Most countries are establishing policies to prevent environment from these industry fields, but Korea has not yet made for them. Thus, Korea need to collect $CO_2$ emission data not only the routes of container from port but also activities in the port. In this paper, an estimation of $CO_2$ emission under the route of container transportation at Korea by using O/D analysis will be addressed. And then, it will be used to make a optimal routes of container transportation which can reduce $CO_2$ emission in future.

산업혁명 이후 인간사회의 산업화 및 도시화의 가속으로 지구온난화는 기후변화를 야기해 왔으며, 이로 인한 각종 부정적인 영향과 심각성은 날로 커져가고 있는 현실이다. IPCC(Intergoverment Panel on Climate Change)는 기후변화의 주범인 온실가스를 감축할 지라도 기후의 탄성 때문에 앞으로 수세기 이상 계속 진행될 것으로 전망하였으며, 기후변화 영향의 근원적 방지는 불가능하기 때문에 결국 수자원 관리 측면에서도 기후변화에 적응하기 위한 각종 적응전략 개발의 필요성을 강조하였다(IPCC, 2007). 또한, 극한강수의 발현비율이 도시 및 비도시 지역의 구분 없이 과거 30년에 비해 크게 증가하고 있으며 이러한 추세는 수공구조물의 치수안전도 저하에 큰 영향을 준다. 우리나라는 그동안 하천, 유역 홍수저감 시설물과 댐 등 대형 수공구조물에 대한 안전성 평가를 주기적으로 수행해 왔으나 단순히 모니터링을 통하여 현재의 안전기준의 부합 여부만을 판단하는 수준에 그치고 있다. 장래 증가하는 홍수피해에 대처하기 위해서는 다양한 극한강우 및 극한홍수시나리오를 기반으로 시설물 설계기준별 홍수 위험도와 취약성을 평가하고, 극한홍수 방어기준을 재설정하여 현재 설계기준을 제고할 필요가 있으며, 시설물별 안전도 평가와 위험도 저감계획 및 경제성 평가를 종합적으로 고려한 실행프레임워크 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도림천 유역에 대하여 최적화된 도시유출모형을 통하여 기후변화가 도시유역에 미치는 유출영향을 분석하였으며, MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation)을 통한 극치수문사상의 적용 및 유출분석을 통한 하천제방의 취약성 평가와 위험도 분석을 실시하여 도시하천의 기후변화 영향을 정량적으로 표현하고자 하였다. 또한 기후변화에 따른 도시하천의 수문특성 변화분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 발생할 수 있는 극치 수문사상의 값을 반영한 설계기준 강화 수방시설 계획 등의 연구에 활용하며, 여러 가지 수문학적 불확실성에 의하여 가변 가능한 도시하천 유역의 취약성 평가 및 위험도 분석을 통한 기후변화 대응과 수공구조물 설계 및 수방전략 수립에 활용하고자 한다.

산업혁명 이후 인간사회의 산업화 및 도시화의 가속으로 지구온난화는 기후변화를 야기해 왔으며, 이로 인한 각종 부정적인 영향과 심각성은 날로 커져가고 있는 현실이다. IPCC(Intergoverment Panel on Climate Change)는 기후변화의 주범인 온실가스를 감축할 지라도 기후의 탄성 때문에 앞으로 수세기 이상 계속 진행될 것으로 전망하였으며, 기후변화 영향의 근원적 방지는 불가능하기 때문에 결국 수자원 관리 측면에서도 기후변화에 적응하기 위한 각종 적응전략 개발의 필요성을 강조하였다(IPCC, 2007). 또한, 극한강수의 발현비율이 도시 및 비도시 지역의 구분 없이 과거 30년에 비해 크게 증가하고 있으며 이러한 추세는 수공구조물의 치수안전도 저하에 큰 영향을 준다. 우리나라는 그동안 하천, 유역 홍수저감 시설물과 댐 등 대형 수공구조물에 대한 안전성 평가를 주기적으로 수행해 왔으나 단순히 모니터링을 통하여 현재의 안전기준의 부합 여부만을 판단하는 수준에 그치고 있다. 장래 증가하는 홍수피해에 대처하기 위해서는 다양한 극한강우 및 극한홍수시나리오를 기반으로 시설물 설계기준별 홍수 위험도와 취약성을 평가하고, 극한홍수 방어기준을 재설정하여 현재 설계기준을 제고할 필요가 있으며, 시설물별 안전도 평가와 위험도 저감계획 및 경제성 평가를 종합적으로 고려한 실행프레임워크 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SEEP/W 모형을 이용하여 일반적인 하천 제방을 바탕으로 침투해석을 실시하여 그 결과를 이용하여 안정성 평가에 대하여 검토하였다. 또한 기후변화에 따른 도시하천의 수문특성 변화분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 발생할 수 있는 극치 수문사상의 값을 반영한 설계기준 강화 수방시설 계획 등의 연구에 활용하며, 여러 가지 수문학적 불확실성에 의하여 가변 가능한 도시하천 유역의 취약성 평가 및 위험도 분석을 통한 기후변화 대응과 수공구조물 설계 및 수방전략 수립에 활용하고자 한다.
