This study was carried out to analyze national and regional distribution of the organic wastes generation and build their distribution maps including food wastes, paper and wood wastes, wastewater and slaughterhouse wastes. The information for the annual waste production was modified using statistics from Ministry of Environment (MOE). Based on waste generation resources data, we established database architecture table about waste generation. The distribution maps for food wastes were built up in both national and regional scales and distribution maps for paper and wood wastes, wastewater and slaughterhouse wastes were also produced, respectively. The distribution maps of waste generation graphically provide the information regarding biomass resources to policy-makers, farmers, general users and it is highly expected to be utilized for policy-making of environmental-friendly agriculture and bioenergy.

It is general that mostly congested sections of national backbone networks have been improved based on the national network expansion plan. However, in case of intermodal terminals which are origins of logistics, it is still so congested that travel time between origin and destination is long. Therefore, intermodal transportation systems plan of major intermodal terminals for the intermodal connector networks between intermodal terminal and national backbone network or intermodal terminal was established. With the limitation of priority methodology applying to intermodal connector facility under existing methodology, this study suggests an improved priority methodology. This study includes characteristics of terminal on the hierarchical structure and assessment list, but it does not concentrate on the specific terminal type through survey. To avoid a certain concentration, budget constraint for each terminal type was considered ahead of priority. Finally priority methodology was developed with two-step assessment under consideration that specific terminal is not involved in intermodal connector facility project. As a result of calculating weights by survey, effects such as d/c and accessibility fluctuations index through project implementation gain high weight, and degree of region underdevelopment gets next. Although the methodology in this study could not yields the priority by assessment list, it will be useful for setting the direction on policy related to intermodal connector facility projects.

Northeast Asia where is an epicenter of the global financial crisis's conquest is traditional imbalanced region of oil production and consumption. In recent years, the region has been suffered by the shortage of oil storage and transportation facilities due to surging oil trading and necessity in strategic reserves. Therefore, since independent petroleum logistics with the storage facilities and oil trading hub is required to form efficient oil market in this region. In this study, we analyzed the efficiency of refinery facilities by country that is of importance in being a logistics hub in Northeast Asia by employing non-static and dynamic efficiency analysis, which are a part of DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) and then policy implications have been drawn. The result illustrates Korea's is the highest country in terms of efficiency of oil refining facilities in Northeast Asia. It implies that Korea has strong position to be the oil hub in Northeast Asia.

With increasing uncertainty of energy market in the world, the policies for the energy resource security have become crucial Several countries with poor energy resource like Netherlands and Singapore have pursued the policy for becoming an oil hub in the region. Singapore has been an oil hub in East Asia for a long time not only because it is well located with a large number of countries exporting and importing oil but it has also pursued strong policies to become an oil hub while establishing favourable institutional, regulatory and business environment for accommodating major refineries and petro-chemical companies. However with growing trading volume of petroleum products in Northeast Asia and a record high price of oil in these days, the necessities of another oil hub in the region are considered in order to reap benefits of the security of economical and stable oil. South Korea is situated astride the main North Pacific shipping route, with deep water ports and proximity to Chinese and Japanese industrial centres that make tank terminal operators Ideal choices for the oil hub in Northeast Asia although it has several disadvantages such as lack of independent storage facilities, underdeveloped oil trading market and unfavourable business friendly climates etc. This study is focused on examining the globalization strategies of tank terminal operators such as Vopak, Oiltanking and Odfjell in order to suggest the policy implications for becoming an oil tub in Northeast Asia.

Yangsan ICD (Inland Container Depot) has played an important role for Busan Port and Korea's port & logistics industries, increasing international logistics competitiveness and containers' transportation competitiveness in Busan region dealing with 1330 thousand TEU in 2005, since its opening in March 2000. However, it is necessary to seek new measures to revitalize Yangsan ICD, since its cargo volume decreased rapidly owing to the opening of Busan New Port and hinterland in 2006. This study constructed an evaluation model using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and conducted a survey targeting local businesses and persons concerned in Yangsan ICD to seek measures for revitalization. The results suggest that Yangsan ICD needs to switch functions to logistics centers (terminal facilities, logistics warehouse) for revitalization considering its advantage of facility location. Moreover, by extending the utilization period and securing building-to-land ratio, existing and new businesses' stable activity should be guaranteed. Furthermore, utilizing facilities such as the railway station in ICD, an active railway revitalization policy may increase cargo volume. Yangsan ICD should perform its role as an inland logistics depot through the revitalization of railway freight transportation in the national logistics system focusing on road freight transportation.

This study endeavors to propose factors that should be intensively managed by using an IPA model to analyze the strengths of military logistics. Based on the improvement measures, we constructed a questionnaire with 5 points of Likert scale and analyzed the importance and satisfaction through SPSS 23. Examination of several evaluation factors revealed 'expansion of and modernization storage facilities' as the most important factor, 'merger and abolition of regional logistics work' (3.56) had the highest satisfaction level. Factors involving the expansion and modernization of the storage facilities showed the largest difference between importance level and satisfaction level, at 2.01. This indicates the necessity for an overall review of the expansion and modernization of storage facilities related to military logistics. This study aims to identify the areas that should be improved firstly in military logistics and concentrate on management to create more effective results. Thus it suggests that this study has a concentration on management for the streamlining of military logistics.

대도시 도심상업지역에서는 하역을 위한 적절한 대책이 수립되지 않아 노상에서 빈번히 하역이 이루어져 도로교통혼잡과 보행환경악화 등의 여러 가지 문제가 초래되고 있다. 이와 같은 도시내 물류에 관한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 근본적으로 화물수송에 있어 공동집배송 등의 물류합리화를 통해서 대처하여야 하지만 아직 도시내 하역의 실태조차도 정확히 파악되고 있지 않은 실정에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제에 대해서 도심상업지역 중 조사구간을 선정하여 실측조사와 5설문 조사를 실시하여 하역의 실태와 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 부산시 도심상업지역의 점포에서 반·출입되는 화물의 수송형태는 공동수송보다 개별적으로 수송되는 경우가 더 많았다. 그리고, 도심상업지역의 시각별 순간 노상주차 현황을 보면 승용차의 비율이 높으나 화물의 반출·입에는 소형트럭이 가장 많이 이용되고 있으며 목적시설과 가급적 가까운 곳에 주차하려는 경향을 보이고 있다.
