In recent years, various perspectives on the sustainable regeneration based on culture, history, identity, and the ecosystem have arisen in attempt to harmonize the environmental, economic, and social issues of the city. However, these ideas did not consider the importance of urban structure for sustainable regeneration. This research attempts to reveal the fundamental characteristics of sustainable regeneration of Lubbock, Texas in the United States through the analysis of urban structure, city planning and city regeneration planning. Despite the 300% expansion of city area in the 1950s, since the 1970s Lubbock's civic center has decreased in population due to middle class migration into southwestern and western suburbs. In the 1980s, a redevelopment organization was established, and a private sector-centered regeneration plan was implemented. In this study, a new approach for urban regeneration was introduced, resulting in strategies focusing on the linkage of urban regeneration into the characteristics of the entire city.

The purpose of this study is to develop community design evaluation factors for sustainable urban regeneration and to suggest considerations for sustainable community design by analyzing excellent community design cases. Through literature review, previous studies on the concept and core items of sustainable urban regeneration, and the concept and components of community design were considered. In addition, evaluation indicators for sustainable community design were developed in the socio-economic, physical, environmental, historical and cultural dimensions through the analysis of the linkage with the evaluation factors of community design through the analysis of previous studies. The evaluation index consists of 3 evaluation items and 9 items including social performance and participation at the social level, economic feasibility at the economic level, environmental characteristics at the physical and environmental level, accessibility, contextuality, locality at the historical and cultural level, identity, and artistry. Includes dog evaluation factors. Reliability and effectiveness are secured through the developed evaluation index and detailed description and expert verification. Exploratory factor analysis and expert interviews were conducted through the survey, and as a result of the analysis, the stability and Cronbach'α coefficients were verified, and the validity of the community design evaluation index considering sustainable urban regeneration was recognized through expert interview. The results of this study are considered meaningful in that they can provide basic data for the improvement of community design for sustainable urban regeneration in the future.

This paper was intended to evaluate environmental policies of South Korea and compare its environmental sustainability with other Eastern Asian countries in terms of some sustainability measures. To meet the purpose, the paper is composed of three parts: a brief and critical review of Korea's current environmental policies, comparison of its sustainability with other Eastern Asian countries in terms of well-known environmental sustainability indices, and comparison in terms of a less well-known alternative measure. Korea's environmental policies as stipulated in "Green Vision 21", "Green Korea 2005" were evaluated in light of OECD EPRK 2006. Korea's environmental performance is then compared with other countries based on such environmental sustainability indices as EF, ESI, EPI and EVI. Unfortunately the well-publicized indices to measure sustainable development (SD) seem to fail in measunng SD and in providing comparability, because it does not base on the genuine concept of SD. Therefore, we tried to suggest an alternative measurement in terms of sustainability quantity (SQ), which is presented for South Korea and her major trading partners, such as USA, Japan and China.

In 2015, Summits of State and Government at United Nations General Assembly agreed to set the world on a path towards Sustainable Development(SD) through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda. 2030 Agenda adopts 17 Sustainable Development Gooals(SDG) to achieve 3 pillars of social security, economic efficiency and environmental integrity. Sustainable Development Indicators(SDI) which are suggested by UN SDSN(United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network), have been developed for measuring SDG implementation, by which Sustainability Assessment(SA) can be accomplished to check through more holistic approaches to poverty alleviation, social inclusion and environmental management. In Korea, Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment(SEIA) has been applied to PPP(policy, plan, program) by 'Ministry of Environment', whereas 'National Land Planning Assessment(NLPA) which is one sort of SEA has been implemented to evaluate PPP of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport'. Although SEIA and NLPA have been utilized as decision-making support tools for stakeholders including high authorities, the reference criteria of these institutions are not considered as convincible and communicable. Evaluation criteria of alternatives which are core principles for SEIA and NLPA seem so ambiguous and unscientific. Through incorporation of SDI into SEIA, a convenient, quick and credible diagnosis of the key dimensions of SD comprising social equity, economic development and environmental management, can help develop a shared understanding of priorities of implementation of SDG.

This study is an exploratory study on the sustainable management of MICE events, and was conducted using the FGI method. Twelve experts in the MICE field, industry, and academia were selected as the subjects of the study. The reason is that understanding and specialty of those targets provides research reliability and validity. The study period was 3 months from June to August 2021. As a result, it is very important to prepare a sustainable development strategy in the MICE industry, and in particular, the need for guidelines to be practiced during event operation from the organizer's point of view was derived. In addition, to derive items that can be used in practice based on the theoretical basis, and it was necessary to derive research results using internationally recognized Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and sustainable MICE research developed in the fields of tourism and MICE. Therefore, through the verification of such experts in the field of MICE, theoretical and practical guidelines from the perspective of the organizer that can be used when holding MICE were developed. The results of the study will provide implications for establishing more effective strategies for hosting sustainable MICE events in the future.

Sustainable resource management(SRM) is regarded as the core strategy to achieve Dematerialisation and Decoupling of economic growth from the use of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper presents status SRM policy and research in worldwide, and analyzes decoupling of economic activity from energy consumption of domestic manufacturing, using decoupling factor. Also This paper suggests methodologies and strategies of SRM in Korea. SRM is established through various analysis and survey as following; forecasting of resource demand, material flow analysis and value chain analysis, resource market structure analysis. Through these analysis, we can obtain hot-spot and solution of environmental burden, recycling market management, recycling technology and best-optimal supply rate of primary and secondary resource. In Korea, resource management system must be linked with national and regional material flow analysis, and it is necessary to make SRM-law of national dimension for effective run of sustainable resource management system.

This study aims to suggest a direction to develop Korea's certification system by comparing the evaluation items between Korea's G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design) and Germany's sustainable building certification. A number of eco-friendly building certification systems are being implemented globally. On the other hand, mutually comparable evaluation items have not been suggested up until now. Therefore, international standards have been trying to establish evaluation criteria for eco-friendly buildings, and Germany's sustainable building certification is the first certification standard that has accepted those evaluation criteria. According to the result of comparing Korea's green building certification with Germany's sustainable certification, the green building certification has evaluation items not only on environmentality (62.6%), but also on social aspects (25.4%) and economic aspects (3.0%). This suggests a crucial direction to the development of evaluation items regarding the social and economic aspects of green building certification.
