팔머가뭄지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI)는 미국의 서부 캔자스와 아이오와 지역을 기반으로 Palmer(1965)에 의해 개발된 가뭄지수이다. PDSI는 가뭄을 정량적으로 표현하기 위해 제안된 최초의 포괄적인 가뭄지수라 할 수 있으며, 하나의 기상인자가 아닌 수문순환을 구성하는 여러 가지 인자들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 가뭄이 나타난다는 점에 착안하고 있다. Palmer(1965)는 캔자스와 아이오와 지역의 자료를 이용하여 산정된 수분 편차지수를 이용하여 가뭄지속기간에 대한 합을 산정하고 각각의 지속기간별로 가장 작은 값의 분포를 검토한 후 이를 기반으로 가뭄심도 분류를 위한 가뭄단계를 제시하였으며, 수분편차지수와 이전 월의 PDSI를 이용하여 분석 대상 월의 PDSI 산정을 위한 관계식을 유도하여 제시하였다. Palmer(1965)는 최대 가뭄지속기간에 대한 검토를 통해 유도된 가뭄지수 산정공식을 가뭄기 및 습윤기에 관계없이 동일하게 적용하였다. 그러나 습윤기의 경우 가뭄기간에 대해 분석된 직선과는 다른 패턴을 보일 수 있으며, 이로 인해 습윤 상태에 대해 산정된 지수는 실제 상황과 다른 결과를 나타낼 가능성이 있다. Wells 등(2004)은 이러한 점을 고려하여 가뭄기와 습윤기에 대한 지속기간별 최대 수분편차지수의 합을 도시한 결과를 나타낸 후 가뭄기와 습윤기의 특성이 다르게 나타남을 제시하였으며, 최종적으로 가뭄기와 습윤기에 대해 PDSI 산정공식의 지속기간 인자(duration factor)를 분리하여 산정할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 Wells 등(2004)에 의해 제시된 PDSI 산정공식 유도방법을 우리나라의 관측자료에 적용한 후 그 결과를 검토하였다. 그 결과 가뭄기의 경우 기존 Palmer(1965)의 결과와 매우 유사한 가뭄지수 산정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 습윤기에 대해 산정된 결과는 매우 다른 특성을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다. PDSI는 가뭄 모니터링 및 관리를 위한 지표로 널리 이용되고 있으므로 적절치 못한 지수 값이 제시될 경우 효율적인 가뭄 대책 수립을 어렵게 하는 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 결과는 가뭄관리 및 모니터링을 위해 PDSI를 이용함에 있어 보다 정확한 지표를 제공하기 위해 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, buildings have become larger, more complex, and various construction methods have been tried. As a result, the use of construction equipment continues to increase, as well as safety accidents. According to the Ministry of Employment and Labor's report on industrial accidents, the rate of deaths caused by construction equipment among construction accidents has been increasing steadily since 2009. In the safety field of other industries such as crime and traffic, research has been continuously conducted to develop quantitative indicators due to demands for development of evaluation indicators or risk index development. On the other hand, construction equipment has been studied to analyze disaster cases and come up with improvement measures, but there is no research related to risk index. Therefore, the research will develop a quantitative index that can determine the risk level of construction equipment in the field based on the accident case and verify the possibility of use in the field.

World population has increased rapidly following the industrial revolution, reaching 7 billion in 2012. Several forecasts estimate that this number will rise to about 8 billion in 2025. Improvements of living standards in developing nations have also raised resource and energy demands worldwide. In consequences, human beings have faced many global and urgent problems, such as global warming, water and food shortages, resource and energy crises, and so on. Many ocean utilization technologies for avoiding or reducing such big problems have been developed, for examples $CO_2$ ocean sequestration, seawater desalination, artificial upwelling, deepwater mining, and ocean energies. It is important, however, to assess such technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy, since the aims of those technologies are to develop sustainable social systems rather than conventional ones based on fossil resources. Inclusive Marine Pressure Assessment and Classification Technology Research Committee (generally called IMPACT Research Committee) of Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers, has proposed Inclusive Impact Index "Triple I" as an indicator, which can predict both environmental sustainability and economical feasibility, in order to assess the ocean utilization technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy. This index was considered by combining Ecological Footprint and Environmental Risk Assessment. The Ecological Footprint and the Environmental Risk Assessment are introduced in the first part of this paper. Then the concept and the structure of the Triple I are explained in the second part of this paper. Finally, the economy-ecology conversion factor in Triple I accounting is considered.

In this paper, economic performance was measured through portfolio analysis for environmentally friendly companies from September 2004 to September 2005. By using portfolio analysis, rate of revenue for environmentally friendly company is twelve to seven teen percent higher than the KOSPI, and KOSPI200 based companies. Except medical and pharmatical industry, environmentally friendly companies had shown low risk and high returns of revenue for banking and financing, chemical and electronic industry. As SRI fund is emerging as a important guideline in recent years, valuation of a cooperate will be very important tool for the financing business area in the future.

The National Pension of Korea is a public social security system designed to alleviate social risks and poverty that has had a major impact on the quality of life for the aging population. However, a rapidly aging population and low fertility threaten the sustainability of national pension in Korea. The National Pension Research Institute publishes a nancial projection every ve years; consequently, the government has lowered the entitlements for the sustainability of national pension based on the projection results. The current reform of the pension system that arbitrarily reduces the entitlements might detract from the income security role of the national pension for pensioners without accounting for the highest elderly poverty rate in the OECD countries. We first discuss methods for the financial projection of the national pension in terms of population, subscribers, and pensioner projections in order to estimate the pension reserve fund and the financial depletion year. We also conduct a sensitivity analysis for population variables, institutional variables, and economic variables based on pension reserves and the financial depletion year. We evaluate intergenerational fairness between the income hierarchy by conducting a money's worth analysis. Finally, we investigate the possibility of the sustainability of national pension by adjusting pension contributions and entitlements (income replacement rate). A new dependency ratio shows that a simple reform of the national pension does not secure the sustainability of the national pension without adapting a pay-as-you-go system.

The recent increase of chonsei has raised the degree of lease burden of households, and a new residential lease price index needs to be introduced to measure such degree of lease burden. In order to convert the burden into an index, the calculation method of the K-HAI, which is announced by the Korea Housing Financing Corporation, is applied by replacing house purchase with lease. From the calculation, the residential lease prices index of the first quarter of 2014 is estimated to be approximately 114, indicating that the cost of lease exceeds 35% of income. The result of analysis on the trend of the residential lease prices index from the first quarter of 2012 to the present in Seoul indicates that the residential lease prices index in Seoul has continued to increase, compared to that of the entire country. The results of this study will be a foundation to find a solution for the stabilization of chonsei and investigate the degree of lease burden by region when establishing a sustainable housing policy.

In this study, the impact of climate change on extreme drought events is investigated by comparing drought severity-area-duration curves under present and future climate. The depth-area-duration analysis for characterizing an extreme precipitation event provides a basis for analysing drought events when storm depth is replaced by an appropriate measure of drought severity. In our climate-change impact experiments, the future monthly precipitation time series is based on a KMA regional climate model which has a $27km{\times}27km$ spatial resolution, and the drought severity is computed using the standardized precipitation index. As a result, agricultural drought risk is likely to increase especially in short duration, while hydrologic drought risk will greatly increase in all durations. Such results indicate that a climate change vulnerability assessment for present water resources supply system is urgent.

본 논문에서는 대규모 송전계통의 확률론적 공급신뢰도 평가 프로그램인 TRELSS를 이용하여 우리나라 전력계통에의 적용가능성을 검증하고, 2006년${\sim}$2013년 및 2017년 첨두부하 계통에 대한 공급신뢰도를 확률론적으로 평가 분석함으로써 미래의 선진국형 계획기법으로의 도약을 모색하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 시기적절한 계통보강으로 연차별 공급지장발생확률(LOLP) 및 공급지장전력량(EUE)이 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 효율적인 설비투자 및 계통계획의 일관성 유지로 공급신뢰도 지수의 연도별 편차는 상대적으로 크지 않았다. 향후 보다 정확한 공급신뢰도 평가지수를 확보하기 위하여 송전선로별 고장발생건수, 평균 고장지속 시간 등과 같은 상세 송전선로 고장발생확률 Data의 확보방안을 강구할 예정이며, 사용자 편리를 고려한 TRELSS 프로그램의 수정 및 보완도 지속적으로 추진할 예정이다.
