  • In order to make the best choice for $CO_2$ abatement using renewable energy technologies, it is important to be able to adapt these technologies on the basis of their sustainability, which may include a variety of environmental indicators. This study examined the comparative sustainability of renewable technologies in terms of their life cycle $CO_2$ emissions and embodied energy, using life cycle analysis. The models developed were based on case studies of bioenergy pilot plant in P city of Kyungki province. Final results were total emission of $CO_2$ in Pocheonsi is 670,041 $tCO_2$, around 500,877 $tCO_2$ for electricity and for heat generation, and 169,164 $tCO_2$ for transportation. When used $1,984\;m^3$/day of waste (pig manure etc.) and operated CHP with wood chips of 144,664 ton/year, the $CO_2$ emission in P city was left as is an emission of 449,274 $tCO_2$ and an abatement of $CO_2$ in this region was increased by 32.9%.

  • Horatio Alger's Ragged Dick (1868) betrays the economic and social system of nineteenth-century America through a self-reformative bootblack's quest for respectability. Being considered a space of constant danger, nineteenth-century New York City serves as a game board, and both visitors and residents of the city are supposed to avoid dangers while moving across its space. Dick Hunter, the juvenile protagonist of the novel, illustrates a street-child who starts his game of life from the backline of the game board. Continuing his quest for respectability, not only must he abandon the bad habits that he acquired as a street-child, but he also must avoid thieves and swindlers just like a tourist or like a player of nineteenth-century American board games. As Dick's social rise goes parallel with his movement in the city space, his entrance to a bank brings him the access to other respectable places, and a series of entrance turns him into a legitimate subject in the official system of the American society. While he continues his game of life successfully with the help of gentlemen patrons, in reality it is almost impossible for a disadvantaged player to escape the backline of the society. Thus, Dick's success story presents Alger's fantasy about the ideal economic system in which materials and persons are endlessly circulated.

  • 유비쿼터스 도시의 개념이 등장하면서 도시 관리에 대한 중요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. GIS는 도시를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 기반이며 u-City 구축사업에 있어 필수적인 기술이다. 시민의 삶의 질 향상을 목표로 하는 u-City는 공공서비스를 중심으로 발전된 IT기술과 접목되어 다양한 서비스의 제공을 시도하고 있으며 기술의 진화에 따라 더 많은 서비스를 추가로 적용할 예정이다. 이러한 추가 서비스가 쉽게 개발되어 더 많은 양질의 서비스를 시민에게 제공할 수 있게 하며 유기적인 정보공유 환경을 제공하는 것이 u-City 통합운영플랫폼이다. 이러한 통합운영플랫폼에 u-City 서비스를 위한 GIS 요구 기능을 정의하고 공통 구현이 가능한 기능들을 통합하여 제공한다면 보다 효율적인 도시 관리를 실현할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 u-City 서비스를 위해 구축되는 통합운영플랫폼들에 적용되고 있는 GIS 요구 기능을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 실제 u-City 서비스 중가로등관리 및 화재감시에 대한 GIS 모듈을 구현하였으며 이의 서비스 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 통합운영플랫폼의 GIS 공통 기능 적용에 대한 활용성 검증을 수행하였다.

  • For the comfortable housing life, comfortable and pleasant urban environment should be created for the people living in house and in city. There are lots of environmental conditions in city affecting house and life. Also most of all the noise pollution have been become major factor that makes people's life uncomfortable. Recently soundscape researches have been performed to create comfortable urban environment and various studies on the evaluation of urban environmental sounds are now undergoing. This study aimed to analyse the subjective characteristics through the subjective evaluation to the sounds measured with physical parameters and eventually to find out alternative evaluation method for urban environmental sounds. Adjectives applied to previous studies were used for the subjective evaluation and sound sources recorded in specific places were presented with picture at the same time. As a result, new physical parameters such as Lmax, Unbiased Annoyance, G, N and EmT have a feasibility to evaluation of urban environment sounds in terms of acoustic comfort.

  • Place based intervention has become an important strategy for the ubiquitous city initiative. However, the role of the ubiquitous built environment in determining urban quality of life has not investigated fully. Using place as a relational space where people access u-infrastructure, u-health and u-services, this paper examines the relationship between spatial variations in the provision of ICTs and the spatial reconfiguration of quality of life operating at different geographical scales across Australia. Based on a case study of the state of Queensland in Australia, we emphasize the need for a place based approach to ubiquitous technologies and infrastructure provision in different socio economic hierarchies of space and place.

  • This study is aimed to discover the deciding factors in senior employment programs for improving the quality of life for the elderly. The dependent variable used in this study was the quality of elderly persons. Personal and familial characteristics, and the community involvement of the elderly were used as independent variables in a Multiple Regression analysis. First, the most influential factor encouraging the elderly to participate in a senior employment promotion program was previous experience of senior employment programs. Second, health condition, residence in city areas, experience of volunteer work, and knowledge of senior employment programs had positive effects on the continuous participation of the elderly men and women. However, living arrangements had an effect solely on elderly men, and home ownership and participation in economic activities had effects solely on elderly women. Third, the life quality of the elderly was affected differently by sex. Health condition had the greatest effect on male elderly persons, whereas, the effective variable, the composition of the family had the most effect on female elderly persons. Thus, active campaigns through various mass media and information sessions are needed to promote participation in senior employment programs, according to the above mentioned deciding factors. In particular infrastructure providing the elderly with more volunteer work opportunity needs to be built for baby boomers to improve their quality of life. In addition, diversified senior employment programs are needed. Because the elderly living in city areas are more willing to participate in senior employment programs, specialized programs suitable for the elderly in city areas are needed. The government should also prepare programs that help the elderly stay healthy while they are working.
