In order to prospect current recycling status in Korea, wastes generation and recycling rate were reviewed. Approximately 188,600 ton/day of wastes was generated in 1998; 44,600 ton/day of domestic waste and 144,000 ton/day of industrial waste. During the last five years, waste management laws such as recycling law and environment friendly industry law were prepared. In this article, concerning over waste generation and recycling, the problems and technological developments associated with recycling were summarized.

Lichen is one of the most widely distributed eucaryotic organisms in the world. Lichen is the result of a symbiotic association between two unrelated organisms - a fungus and an alga (or cyanobacterium). Researches in Korean lichens were mainly focused on investigation of Korean lichen flora and most of them were primitive and short-term based projects until 1990's. In this communication, current status and prospect of Korean lichen research are briefly discussed with emphasis of KoLRI (Korean Lichen Research Institute) activities and roles in national research projects on bioresource development in Korea.

IT technologies(Chips, Grid and e-Science) are rapidly changed from 1965. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Mooresaq the future. His prediction popularly known as Moore's law, state that the computer chips double in power every 18 months Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems by making use of the unused resources of large numbers of disparate, often desktop, computers treated as a virtual cluster embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure. In this paper, I will discuss current status of supercomputing technology and haw we can use these on CFD. Functionally, one can classify Grids into several types:

Human factors engineering has been taught in the design fields and considered as a necessary course for design students, We, ergonomists working with a design department, analyzed the current status of ergonomics curricula in the Korean design colleges. Sixty one percent of schools with design departments were offering ergonomics courses and most courses were electives. Comparatively more ergonomic courses were offered in industrial design and digital media departments. Ergonomic and human factors knowledge might not properly be acquired with this current status of the design curricula and systematic solutions should be considered and prepared for the future Korean designers.
