One of the foremost environmental challenges, alongside the contemporary focus on achieving carbon neutrality, pertains to the pervasive issue of plastic waste. Thermochemical recycling technology, operating under high-temperature conditions to covert organic matter and recycle it into raw materials and energy, represents a transformative approach surpassing the conventional bounds of material recycling predominantly applied in plastic waste management. The thermochemical recycling paradigm is emerging as a pivotal technology within the circular economy, capable of transforming waste plastics into raw materials for producing original plastics. Its significance extends beyond national borders, garnering global attention due to its versatility as a chemical or energy recycling method, contingent upon the subsequent processes and final products. This study aims to scrutinize three quintessential thermochemical recycling technologies: combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. Furthermore, the study discusses the recent major technology trends of these technologies.

모든 도시가 발전하고 번창하기 위해서는 핵심기반시설의 재난 및 안전이 선제적으로 확보되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 환경핵심기반시설을 중심으로 지역사회가 지속 가능한 녹색도시로 거듭나기 위해 재난준비태세 증진에 실제 활용 가능한 위험지도를 드론에 장착한 LiDAR 센서를 통해 수집한 고도 데이터를 바탕으로 제작하였다. 나아가 지진과 같은 재난 발생 시 시설에서부터 확산하는 관리 오염물의 경로 및 범위를 시범 모의하여, 기능 연속성 계획 및 재난대응 가이드와 연계를 하는 방안을 제시함으로 지자체 중심의 통합적 지역사회의 노력이 발현될 수 있도록 기초적 연구를 진행하고, 전략적 활성화 방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 끊임없는 성장과 거듭되는 개발로 인해 변화하는 도시의 형상에 따라 리스크를 최신화하여 대응력을 높이고, 이해관계자들에게 시각화된 재난 범위 모의를 제시함으로써 지역사회와 지자체 역량에 따른 협력적 재난대응태세에 필요한 프레임워크 도출 및 계획수립을 가능하게 한다는 점에서 큰 의의를 지닌다. 또한, 각 영역별 전문가들의 자문을 통하여 본 논문에서 제시된 확산 모의의 방법론이 타당함을 확인하였다. 무엇보다 모호한 "가능한 신속한 자원관리"와 같은 추상적인 대응계획이 아닌, 객관적인 재난자원관리계획을 수립할 수 있게 함으로써 추후 국가적 재난 및 안전역량을 계량화시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

현대의 건설기술은 자원절약과 환경보전이라는 시대적 흐름 속에, 자원순환과 지속 가능한 친환경 건설기술 개발은 차세대 연구분야로써, 연구가 시급한 분야가 되었다. 최근에는 골재 수급불균형 문제를 해결하고 동시에 자원순환을 위한 방안으로서 건설폐기물로부터 생산된 순환골재를 콘크리트용 천연골재의 대체재로 활용하기 위한 연구개발이 이루어지고 있다. 지속가능형 건설기술을 국내 독자 기술로 확립하고 건설현장에서 발생하는 폐기물의 순환시스템을 확고하게 구축하여 순환자원에 의한 국가경쟁력 강화를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 순환골재 콘크리트의 역학적 특성을 개선하기 위해 순환골재 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 강도 및 강성을 검증하는 것이다. 실험방법으로 순환굵은골재의 치환 비율을 0%에서 100%까지 변화시킨 공시체를 제작하고 각 공시체의 정적 극한강도 거동을 비교 분석하였다. 하중은 공시체가 파괴가 발생 할 때까지 변위제어 방식으로 재하 하였으며 이 때 공시체의 파괴거동은 설치된 계측센서들을 이용하여 계측 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 공시체의 압축강도는 순환굵은골재 치환률이 25% 미만일 경우 일반 콘크리트 압축강도의 95% 이상의 구조성능을 갖지만, 순환굵은골재 치환률이 100%인 경우, 일반콘크리트 압축강도의 85% 수준의 구조성능을 나타냈다. 강성은 FRP 부재의 순환골재 치환률에 따라 최대 14%의 강성차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 순환골재 치환률이 높을수록 순환골재 표면의 폐모르타르와 이물질의 영향으로 재료간의 부착강도가 감소되어 강도와 강성이 저하되었음을 확인하였다.

Surfing is a sport sensitive to changes in the natural environment, using naturally occurring waves. In other words, factors such as the construction of coastal structures, coastal erosion, and sediment transportation could cause the wave to change into a direction inappropriate for surfing at the shore where surfable waves were reaching. In this study, we call the characteristics of the coastal environment that affect the formation of surfable waves as surfing resources, which is subsequently analyzed by coastal engineering methodologies. Also, using Delft3D-WAVE module (SWAN model), a way to evaluate sustainability of surfable wave is suggested through analysis of surfing resources at Jukdo, Yangyang, Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea.

Germany has carried out its environment friendly energy policy to prevent $CO_2$ emission that affects directly to the global warming phenomenon. Based on this direction, it has performed a sustainable development strategy through the R & D activities in environment and energy technologies. Accordingly, the core elements of German energy and sustainable development policies are renewable energy, ecological energy tax, and emission trading system. In particular, Germany has supported to develop renewable energy resources that prevents from consuming fossil energy resources. At the same time, it has set the ecological energy tax and initiated the emission trading system in order to support the renewable energy policy continuously. This paper analyze whether or not it is possible to generate an economic growth and a sustainable development while using renewable energy resources based on the renewable energy policy that minimize the negative effects on the environment. For that, the paper adopts Germany as a model country. In fact, it is possible to achieve the economic growth and the sustainable development if a nation can substitute increasing energy consumption for the economic growth to renewable energy resources that does not affect to the environment negatively. This model is the German energy policy and sustainable development strategy, and it is the purpose of the paper to prove it logically.

This paper is intended to measure sectoral sustainabilities and inter-industry linkage effects of natural capital depletion of the Korean industries, and to analyze sources of their change over time using the familiar input-output model. The sustainability indicator that we are measuring in this paper is based on the so-called genuine saving concept proposed by the World Bank(1997). We accommodated the concept in the extended analytical framework of Proops et al.(1999) to analyze sectoral sustainabilities of the Korean industries. We decomposed sectoral sustainabilities so measured into their composing factors based on the decomposition method devised by Chung & Rhee (2001). According to our analysis, overall sustainability of the Korean industries has been declined since 1995. In heavy and chemical, transportation, and electricity sectors, their sustainabilities has been gotten worse. Among four major factors influencing the sustainability, change in GDP was the most important followed by changes in savings, industrial structures, and demand patterns.

This study was conducted to establish ecotourism as an introduction to sustainability and international cooperation. As a plan to retain the original meaning of ecotourism, the introduction of a program to certify/designateecotourism is being vitalized in many countries around the world. In Korea as well, an agenda to the introduction of an "Ecotourism Designation System,"which aims to ensure the quality of ecotourism at a certain level, was submitted by the Ministry of Environment to the National Assembly in June 2011, and the promotion for a demonstration program is planned this year to introduce the system. Japan has been carrying out the certification systems Good Eco-tour, which certifies the sustainability of ecotourism providers and accommodations since 2006, respectively, and has been securing the sustainability of ecotourism by enactment in 2008, as the world's first law to promote ecotourism. And the second general conference of the first Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism(GPST) was held in Korea in March 2012, particularly, there was an agreement that the promotion of Asia and the Pacific Area Network for sustainable tourism would center around Korea, and accordingly, it is expected that Korea's status as a core country for ecotourism in the Asia-Pacific Area will increase. While the demand for an approach to natural resources is rapidly increasing, we should be active in providing an institutional strategy such as a designation system to secure the sustainability of ecotourism and seeking a plan for cooperation and network vitalization in the Asia-Pacific Area where similar natural resources and cultures are shared.

Education for Sustainable Development is an imperative mean to achieve the sustainable development which is the key idea that meets the needs of both present and succeeding generations by reconciling environmental protection, social development and economic growth. This study addressed the following question. First, what is the overall structure of the ESD contents presented in the textbooks? Second, How are the sub-contents of ESD distributed in the textbooks? Lastly, How are the ESD contents connected to mathematics in the textbooks? For this purpose, the contents in the elemtentary mathematics textbooks from 1^st to 6^th grades were analyzed at both macro and micro levels through quantitative and qualitative research methods. As results, contents related to environmental, social, and economic dimensions were presented from the first grade. The contents were involved the mathematics content domains of Numbers and Operations, Data and Possibilities, and Patterns. However, the contents were presented intensively in middle and high grades, and environmental topics accounted for a high proportion. Among the activities related to ESD, many were focused on solving problems mathematically while some were presented to solve problems as well as to consider sustainability through the activities. Based on the results, the study aims to provide implications for the direction of mathematics education for sustainable development in elementary school.

자연은 인간이 만들어낸 기술적 해결책들보다 현저히 적은 양의 에너지를 소비하며, 적은 물질로 다양한 구조를 창출해 내는 고효율 최적화 시스템이며, 스스로 정화작용과 선순환을 유지하는 환경 친화적 시스템이다. 이러한 자연에서 영감을 얻어 활용하고 응용하는 기술은 최근 나노-바이오기술의 급속한 발전과 더불어 새롭게 각광받는 융합기술 분야로 부각되고 있다. 나노스케일의 생체물질을 관찰하고 특성을 평가할 수 있는 고성능의 장비가 개발되고, 생체 물질을 분자 단위로 조합하고 합성하는 등의 첨단기술이 발전됨에 따라 자연모사기술도 새로운 전기를 마련하고 있다. 자연 생명체/생태계가 지닌 혁신적인 해결 가능성(Innovation Potentials)을 구현하기 위해서는 자연모사기술 분야에 좀 더 체계적이고 지속적인 관심과 지원을 기울여야 할 것이며, 이를 바탕으로 인류가 당면한 에너지 자원 기후변화 환경 문제 등의 글로벌 이슈를 극복하고 선순환의 개념의 자연모사 에코 기술과 지속가능한 혁신 기술 달성이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
