This study aims to suggest an improved groundwater management plan for future policy decisions in Korea by examining representative groundwater management cases abroad. In the United States, the Ground Water Resources Program is operated both locally and regionally. In order to manage appropriate levels of groundwater in Japan, groundwater resource management programs are conducted according to small, medium, and large watersheds. In Europe, the watershed unit manages groundwater and surface water by way of an integrated approach. In Korea, groundwater development at the national level is designated and managed in a top-down manner, whereas in the United States and Japan, groundwater is managed from small-scale regional units to large-scale watersheds. In order to evaluate the sustainability of groundwater resources, groundwater must be evaluated through a dynamic process including continuous monitoring, groundwater flow analysis, and management priorities.

In Chapter 40, "Information for decision-making", of Agenda 21, it was Slated that, "indicators of sustainable development need to be developed to provide solid bases for decision-making at all levels and to contribute to a self-regulating sustainability of integrated environment and development systems." Sustainable development has been defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs", An indicator that measures sustainability should therefore focus on this definition. One of the most widely used frameworks for environmental indicators is the Pressure-State-Response model proposed by the OECD. And we introduced the the Driving force-State-Response framework, the adaptation of Pressure-State-Response model, for UN sustainable development indicators. Therefore, in our country, indicators for sustainable development should be developed by using the DSR framework.

The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable tool that can classify and measure detailed indicators related to the performance of ESG implementation in the country and verify their applicability. Based on World Bank's data as input data, 67 types of ESG-related detailed indicators measured in a total of 239 countries were tested to derive an optimal model that could group detailed indicators into three categories: environment, society, and governance. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that a total of 10 detailed indicators had a statistically significant relationship with the country's ESG performance. In addition, the detailed indicators showed a positive correlation with the primary latent variables E, S, and G, and showed a high overall index in the suitability of the model to secure the validity and reliability of variable input. As a result, this study confirmed that several detailed performance indicators constituting ESG can be classified as latent variables, and it can be said that clear criteria for the selection method and input validity of variables were presented.

최근 도시화가 진행되면서 지표의 불투수화가 급격하게 진행되고 강우의 지표면 유출량이 급격하게 증가하여, 강수 시 첨두유출 시간이 감소하고 단기간 집중유출이 증대되어 폭우로 인한 도시 홍수등이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 현상에 효과적으로 적응하기 위해 환경적으로 지속가능한 도시 개발을 위한 그린인프라(GI, Green Infrastructure) 및 저영향개발기법(LID, Low Impact Developpment)이 국내에 도입되고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 투수성 포장의 물순환 성능 평가 및 설계 방법에 대한 기준이 명확하지 않으며, 많은 경우 투수성 포장의 적용은 유출저감효과에 대한 정량적 해석 없이 적용되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경남 양산시 부산대학교 제 2 캠퍼스에 있는 "한국형 GI&LID 실증실험단지"에 투수 도로형 실증실험시설을 구축하였다. 실험 시설은 불투수 아스팔트와 투수 아스팔트, 불투수 콘크리트와 투수 콘크리트 비교실험 할 수 있으며 도로표면 유출수 및 침투수에 대한 유량 및 수질 측정 모니터링을 통해 침투효과 및 특성을 분석할 수 있으며 차후 투수성 포장의 클로깅 현상으로 인한 투수성능의 감소 등 여러 가지 실험을 할 수 있을 것이다.

Congestion on expressways is increasing in spite of continuous road construction. In enlargement of expressway capacity to lessen congestion, a long period is needed and in the case of traffic congestion, it would be impossible to avoid long periods of traffic congestion. So, it is necessary to cope with traffic congestion through continuous traffic condition monitoring, analysis of the causes of congestion and the development of alternatives before traffic conditions worsen. A congestion index that can express traffic operating conditions measurably is needed to monitor those conditions. Thus, in this research, a new congestion index, the Traffic Condition Index (TCI), is developed. TCI is able to evaluate roads that have different grades (or design speeds) and to judge traffic condition as good, fair and poor (congested). In addition, TCI has merits in that it can strengthen the function of existing Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS) and can be applied to congestion management easily: TCI calculates congestion intensity and severity using data obtained from existing FTMS. In order to validate TCI, it was applied to the Kyungbu Expressway and the Seohaean Expressway. As a result, TCI shows a good performance in the aspect of applicability and ability of presentation of traffic conditions compared with travel speed and Travel Time Index (TTI).

Quality is the core competence for customer satisfaction in current competitive business environments. The manufacturing companies regard the quality as the success factor in enhancing competitiveness and foremost concept of the management innovation. But in many cases, the basis for the quality management and the action programs are not prepared yet. In construction industry, normally schedule and cost have priority over quality and the level of overall quality is relatively lower than other industries. This is caused by the vague quality goal and result-oriented management. This study suggests the quality performance indicators for measuring performance objectively, and develops the continuous quality monitoring system based on those indicators. By using this system, the quality improvement can be expected and corporate quality competitiveness can be ensured.
