This study was intended to analyze the pro-environmental housing consciousness and behavior of housewives in Ulsan, Korea, according to their socioeconomic characteristics and other variables. The sample consisted of 175 housewives living in Ulsan, with descriptive analyses and multiple regressions used to analyze the aforementioned data. In general, the respondents showed high levels of pro-environmental housing consciousness and behavior. The results of the analyses indicated that the experiences of environmental education, recognition of the environment in general and pro-environmental housing consciousness were significant explanatory variables of the actual pro-environmental housing behavior. This implies that the provisions of education and information relating to the overall environment including pro-environmental housing should be emphasized.

The study investigates some psychological and environmental factors affecting the intention to purchase organic foods of consumers in the inner-city of Hanoi. Impact factors applied for the study include three psychological factors (health concern, environmental concern, consumer awareness of organic foods) and seven environment factors (family's opinion, friends and colleagues' opinion, influence of celebrities, expert's opinion, social status, mass media, state's encouragement). We analyzed research data from 396 consumers to measure the impacting level of these factors. The convenient sampling method was used to collect the research sample. The measurement applied a 5-point Likert scale classifying from 1-completely disagree to 5-completely agree. Based on previous studies, the research model was recommended. We had estimated the reliability of the scales through Cronbach's Alpha and composite reliability. The research data is analyzed by using Structural Equation Model method (SEM). The findings of the study suggest that psychological factors (health concern, environmental concern, consumer awareness of organic foods) had a significantly positive influence on consumer's purchase attention toward organic food. The results also revealed that environmental factors (family's opinion, friends and colleagues' opinion, influence of celebrities, expert's opinion, mass media) were positively linked to consumer's purchase attention toward organic food.

This study investigates the impact of globalization, coal consumption, and economic growth on CO₂ emissions in Malaysia by applying the Kuznets Environmental Curve model. The study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag modeling technique on time series data over the period of 1970-2018 to determine the short and long-run relationship between CO₂ emissions and a number of variables, including globalization, coal consumption, and economic growth. The results show that globalization increase CO₂ emissions in both the short and long run in Malaysia. Furthermore, the results reveal that economic growth and coal consumption degrade the environmental quality by accelerating the CO₂ emissions in the short-run and long run. As a result, the findings validate the Kuznets Environmental Curve hypothesis of an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO₂ emissions in the long run for Malaysia. The findings of this study suggest that higher globalization levels and usage of coal consumption degrade the environmental quality in Malaysia. The findings also indicate the effect of economic growth on environmental degradation is positive at the initial stage but improves after the economy achieves a threshold level of income per capita in the economic development process with an inverted U-shaped pattern in the long run.

본 연구는 비용조건이 다른 오염배출기업이 가격경쟁을 할 때 환경에 대한 사회적 책임(ECSR)의 정도가 시장균형과 환경오염, 그리고 사회후생에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 주요한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 순차적 ECSR은 상호보완성을 지니고 있으며 비용조건에 상관없이 후발 기업이 항상 더 높은 이윤을 얻게 된다. 둘째, ECSR의 선택시기를 내생화하는 경우 순차게임이 항상 균형이 되고, 비용 비대칭성이 유의하면 효율적인 기업이 ECSR을 선도하는 것이 보수우위균형이 된다. 마지막으로, 순차적 ECSR이 환경오염과 사회후생에 미치는 효과는 오염의 사회적 한계비용에 의해 영향을 받는다. 사회적 비용이 충분히 크다면 효율적인 기업이 ECSR을 선도하는 균형이 사회적으로 바람직하지만, 비효율적인 기업이 ECSR을 선도하는 균형에서는 사회적 비용의 크기에 상관없이 항상 환경오염이 더 심각해질 뿐만 아니라 시장규모가 작아서 비용 비대칭성이 유의하다면 사회후생은 더 낮아진다.

본 연구는 2015 개정 기술·가정 교과서의 '의복관리와 재활용' 단원을 ESD의 측면에서 분석하여 '의복관리와 재활용' 단원과 ESD와의 연관성을 찾고자 하였으며, 지속가능한 의생활 교육에 대한 학생들의 수업 참여도를 높이고 실천적 행동을 이끌어내는데 중요한 요소인 교과서의 탐구성향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 유네스코 통영 지역전문센터(Regional Centers of Expertise on ESD, RCE) 출판물의 ESD 핵심내용을 준거로 '의복관리와 재활용' 단원의 학습내용을 사회·정치·문화적 관점, 환경적 관점, 경제적 관점에 따라 분석하였다. 또한 Romey의 탐구적 교과서 분석방법을 변형하여 '의복관리와 재활용' 단원의 본문문장, 그림 및 도표, 학습활동 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 사회·정치·문화적 관점에서는 안전과 건강 및 식품, 환경적 관점에서는 자연자원과 에너지, 환경문제, 경제적 관점에서는 지속가능한 생산과 소비에 대한 내용을 찾아볼 수 있었다. 따라서 '의복관리와 재활용' 단원의 ESD 내용은 환경적 관점에 치우쳐져 있어 세 관점이 균형을 이루는 교과서 개발이 필요할 것으로 보았다. 또한 모든 교과서가 사실이나 정의적인 내용이 많아 탐구능력의 개발 기회를 얻기 어려운 성향을 지닌 것으로 나타났다. '의복관리와 재활용' 단원의 탐구성향 분석값과 ESD 관련 내용을 비교한 결과, 학습자의 수업참여를 높이기 위하여 글의 결론 부분에 ESD 관련 내용을 반영하고, 학습활동의 내용으로 ESD 관련 주제를 다루는 것이 필요할 것으로 보았다.

Evaluating environmental impacts of regional development projects has critical importance in environmental management aspect. This paper uses multi-attribute utility theory as a basis for obtaining a value index to assess the environmental impacts and applies the theory to a specific Korean case study. To structure and quantify basic values for the assessment, we elicited important attributes, then refined and structured them into a hierarchy. An environmental multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of technical experts, policy makers, and a decision-maker at Korean Ministry of Environment. The implications of the results are also discussed. We found that the work and results can provide valuable insights for assessment of environmental consequences.

The objectives of this study are (1) to identify sub-areas of the pro-environmental behavior, (2) to examine the level of the pro-environmental attitude and behavior, (3) to examine the degree of inconsistency between attitude and behavior, and (4) to investigate the reasons of the inconsistency. Data was collected from the questionnares with 299 married men and 378 married women and the deep interviews with 10 married women. The major findings are follows : (1) The pro-environmental behavior can be classified into 2 sub-areas : social-oriented area and individual-oriented area. (2) The level of pro-environmental attitude and behavior in the social-oriented area is lower than those in individual-oriented area. (3) The attitude-behavior inconsistency in the social-oriented sub-area is stronger than that in the individual-oriented sub-area. (4) The reasons of the pro-environmental attitude-behavior inconsistency are the lack of the sincere environmental consciousness and the existence of the pro-environmental behavior restriction factors.

This study discusses the environmental awareness and the second-hand clothing usage of those consumers who actively purchase used clothing through a clothing swap at a used clothing market. The study used the questionnaire method, weか the subjects being those with experience of buying second-hand clothing. The findings were as follows. 1. The group of higher environmental awareness differed from the group with low environmental awareness in terms of donating or swapping clothing at a green store or in terms of discontinuing the wearing of used clothing bought from a green store. 2. The higher environmental awareness group valued fashion, status symbols and the alignment with others while the group with low environmental awareness valued comfort and economy more than those with the higher environmental awareness. 3. It was discovered that environmental awareness, education and income levels were interrelated.

In this paper, we present a nonrenewable resource model including environmental pollution stock as a state variable to analyze the dynamic structure of environmental tax. Based on the optimality conditions of our model, we showed that the optimal time path of the shadow cost for environmental pollution stock is the same as that of the costate variable for environmental pollution stock. We did this by applying the theorem, Continuous Dependence on Initial Conditions (Coddington and Levinston, 1985, pp. 22~27), to the optimal control problem. Thus, this result provides a theoretical basis to determine the magnitude of environmental tax to be imposed over time. In addition, we also identified that the costate variable for environmental pollution stock is solely due to the disutility effect.
