The Yellow Sea is a marginal sea, surrounded by Chinese Continent and Korean Peninsula, with wide continental shelves and long coastlines. And the Yellow Sea is abundant with living resources and with coastal areas for leisure and aesthetic qualities. However, the Yellow Sea being a semi-enclosed water body, its water quality has been recently deteriorated due to rapid industrialization and urbanization of the coastal countries. Since marine pollution is transboundary, the needs for international cooperation among China, North Korea, Japan, Russia and Korea are urgent for the environmental protection of the Yellow Sea. The objectives of the present paper are to review the on-going research and to proposed the future prospects on international cooperation for the protection of water qualities of the Yellow Sea.

The present study estimated nitrogen budget of South Korea including nitrogen oxides (NOx) in 2011. Emission sources of NOx were calculated with the higher contributors, such as vehicles, businesses, power plants, based on the IPCC and EPA reports. Moreover, nitrogen budget was separated for city, agriculture livestock and forest. Input and output were chemical fertilizer, crop uptake, fixation, irrigation, compost, leaching, volatilization, imported food, denitrification, runoff, and so on. Annual nitrogen input were 1,692,650 ton/yr and output were 837,739 ton/yr which were increased from 2010 budget. In 2011, NOx emissions by vehicles, power plants, and businesses were 308,207 ton/yr, 601,437 ton/yr, and 469,946 ton/yr, respectively. Including nitrogen oxide, total nitrogen input and output in 2011 was calculated as 5,652,366 ton/yr and 1,425,371 ton/yr, respectively.

Atmospheric pollutant emissions, mainly exhaust gas emissions from vessels, and the resultant social costs of pollution in the Korean harbor cities of Incheon, Mokpo, Gwangyang, Busan and Ulsan, are examined in this study, and the need for an emissions reduction plan is highlighted. Busan had several vessels entering its port, while Mokpo had few vessels, yet the vessels emission contribution was high in both the cities. Ulsan had world-class heavy-chemical industries, Gwangyang had steel mills and Incheon had a manufacturing industry and more vessels entering its port than Mokpo, yet the emission contribution was low in these cities. By calculating exhaust gas emissions from the vessels, it was found that CO₂ was the highest, followed by NOx and SOx. By vessel type, Busan, Ulsan, and Incheon had more oil tank vessels, Gwangyang had more cargo vessels, and Mokpo had more ferries. As a result of social cost, Busan paid the highest, while the highest emission was PM. The use of low-sulfur oil can directly reduce PM and, SOx emissions and indirectly reduce NOx emissions. However, in order to reduce high CO₂ emissions, only low-sulfur oil will not help. Therefore, the study suggested the need for reduction plan that use of fossil fuels, by using alternative maritime power (AMP).

Today transportation problems are severer with the increase of the vehicles and travel demand in urban areas, but could not be completely solved with only the expansion of the new transportation facilities. Because the expansion of the new transportation facilities are limited in urban areas. As one of the Transportation System Management(TSM) techniques in this study, the simulation results of the existing signal systems which were operated based upon the peak time periods for increasing the efficiency on the pretimed signalized intersections(PSI) during the different time periods : the AM on-Peak, the AM off-Peak, the PM off-Peak, and the PM on-Peak, were as follows : i) There was no distinct difference in the total traffic volumes concentrated on the signalized intersections during the different time periods, but a considerably big difference in the directional traffic volumes for those time periods. ii) There were about 53% reduction of the average delay and 51% reduction of the fuel consumption when applying the different signal systems to the different time periods regardless of the CBD and Non-CBD. iii) There were about 36% increase of the average delay and 33% increase of the fuel consumption when applying the same signal systems during the peak time periods to the different time periods regardless of the CBD and Non-CBD. Based on the above results, it was concluded that constructing the different signal systems for the different time periods would be better than construction the same ones for those periods on the pretimed signalized intersections in urban areas.

The purpose of this study was to propose technology to detect the wave in the image in real-time, and calculate the height of the wave-overtopping through image analysis using artificial intelligence. It was confirmed that the proposed wave overtopping detection system proposed in this study could detect the occurring of wave overtopping, even in severe weather and at night in real-time. In particular, a filtering algorithm for determining if the wave overtopping event was used, to improve the accuracy of detecting the occurrence of wave overtopping, based on a convolutional neural networks to catch the wave overtopping in CCTV images in real-time. As a result, the accuracy of the wave overtopping detection through AP50 was reviewed as 59.6%, and the speed of the overtaking detection model was 70fps based on GPU, confirming that accuracy and speed are suitable for real-time wave overtopping detection.

This study examines relationships between climatic factors and spatial-temporal patterns and recent changes of tropical night phenomenon(TN) occurring through nighttime stages in South Korea. Frequencies of daily TN at different times of night are extracted from long term(1973-2004) 6 hourly nighttime(9PM and 3AM) temperature and daily minimum temperature data at 61 weather stations. Temporally, the occurrences of TN are more pronounced in the evening(9PM) and during the Changma Break period(late July - early August). Spatially, the TNs in the evening frequently occur in the urbanized inland cities at low latitudes due to urban heat islands, whereas the TNs in the middle of night(3AM) or at dawn frequently appeared along the coastal areas within 30km from ocean due to the thermal inertia of ocean. By contrast, the evening(dawn) TN is not seen in the highlands whose elevation is greater than 800m(300m) along the Taebaek and Sobaek mountain ridges due to temperature lapse rates with height Correlation and multivariate regression analyses reveal that the impacts of human or physical climatic factors, such as latitude, elevation, proximity to ocean, and population density, are diverse on the frequencies of TN according to nighttime stages. Recent temporal changes of the late Changma period and intensified urbanization during the 1990s have increased the occurances of TN in urban areas. Therefore, strategies to mitigate the increasing urban TN should be prepared in the near future.
