The aim of this study is to investigate fashion activism that supports sustainability by pursuing social transformation through social media. This is achieved by publicizing the environmental and labor problems of the fashion industry. For this study, a literary survey and netnography were conducted from January 2017 to November 2020. We classified and analyzed environmental and labor issues that could be considered fashion activism on social media. The results are as follows. First, movements for conscious consumption appeared as #haulternative, #fashionourfuture, #SecondHandSeptember, and #wornwear projects. These movements are concerned with buying used goods, re-dressing clothes owned by individuals, and transforming and wearing them with new methods. Second, activism for environmental protection includes #fashionOnclimate by Global Fashion Agenda and Sustainable Fashion Matterz' #Watermatterz. These movements are directly involved in learning about the seriousness of environmental destruction caused by the fashion industry and participating in environmental protection with critical awareness. Third, the #whomademyclothes and the Clean Clothes Campaign are activism for improving the working environment, and are playing a role in publicizing labor issues by informing the general public about inadequate working conditions linked to the fashion industry. Thus, fashion activism on social media examined in this study can contribute to visualizing chronic problems that hinder sustainable development within the fashion industry.

Purpose - This study aims to lay the foundation for a desirable direction to solve future environmental problems through framework research on environmental cooperation according to distribution of urbanization between South and North Korea. The article also attempts to explore solution to two Koreas' environmental problems from the cooperative perspective between South and North Korea and draw future policy tasks. Research design, data, and methodology - For methodology, North Korea's legal system to cope with disasters is taken into consideration in terms of literature review. This study also analyzes a series of processes related to North Korea's disaster management through case study, and draws policy measures for North and South Korea's cooperation scope and methods. Result - The results support that North Korea is very vulnerable to environmental disasters due to food shortages, economic sanctions, and enormous natural disaster damages including flood damages occurring each year, because of the lack of disaster prevention infrastructure such as river maintenance. Conclusion - At the current time when North and South Koran exchange and cooperation increase, a disaster management cooperative system is needed for the areas where South and North Korea manage through division. It also suggests that there is a need to establish regulations and procedures for support items in advance for a quick response to disasters in North Korean region.

In this paper, attendance in distance learning courses of a cyber university has been surveyed in an effort to verify the effectiveness of distance learning. Based on survey data from 4,749 distance learning participants, major attending place, major reasons for attending online class, fidelity to online classes, attending time per week, perceived educational effectiveness, perceived and relative seriousness of problems, and other variables have been evaluated. The results indicate that perceptional seriousness of the investigated problems is not statistically important. The findings indicate that, among operational problems, self willingness and cheating are the most remarkable. In contrast, the relative seriousness of traditionally recognized problems such as H/W availability and network speed among environmental problems is least remarkable. An analysis of demographic differences such as sex, employment, and school year in terms of seriousness of problems is also performed. The results reveal the existence of statistically significant differences according to sex, employment, and school year with regard to almost all elements of environment, actual current conditions, and seriousness of problems, with the exception of some elements such as attending place and perceived fidelity.

본 연구는 청소년의 환경친화적 행동과 배경변인인 인구사회학적변인, 환경교육변인과 환경문제에 대한 지식과 인식의 관계를 밝혀, 청소년에게 가장 많은 영향을 주는 학교교육에서의 환경교육방향을 제공하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기도의 중 고등학생 654명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 기술통계방법, 위계적 회귀분석을 적용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과 환경친화적 행동에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 변인은 환경교육 필요성, 환경정보 습득경로, 환경오염에 대한 인식, 성별, 학년, 용돈수준으로 나타났다. 이들 변인들은 환경친화적 행동의 총분산을 20.5% 설명하고 있는데 환경 교육 관련변인군은 7.2%, 인구사회학적변인군은 6.8%, 환경문제 인식변인군은 5.4%, 환경에 대한 지식변인군은 1.1% 환경친화적 행동의 분산을 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 환경교육의 필요성을 크게 인식할수록, 환경정보를 얻는 경로가 대중매체보다 친구와 환경단체인 경우, 대기 오염과 자원 및 에너지고갈에 대한 인식의 수준이 높을수록, 여학생보다는 남학생이, 용돈수준이 낮을수록, 환경친화적 행동을 많이 보였다. 환경에 대한 지식은 환경친화적 행동에 미치는 영향이 미미한 반면, 환경교육관련 변인과 환경문제에 대한 인식은 환경친화적 행동에 영향을 미치므로 이론위주의 환경교육보다는 청소년 스스로 경험을 통해 터득할 수 있도록 실생활과 연관성이 있는 실천적인 방법을 적용하여 환경교육을 실시하는 것이 요구된다.

본 연구는 20세기 이후 급속한 과학기술의 발달로 산업의 공업화 및 인구의 도시화 등으로 인류의 생활터전인 환경이 위협받는 현 시점에, 이슈가 되고 있는 환경문제의 해결방안인 환경규제를 복잡계적 사고로 해석을 한 것이다. 산업혁명이후 출현한 산업의 고도화 과정에서 발생하고 있는 다양한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 오래전부터 많은 노력들이 시도되었다. 하지만 이러한 현상을 이해하기 위해서는 단순한 무역수준이나 경제 기술적 수준에서 해석할 수 없는 문제가 제기 되고 있다. 이러한 이슈들에 대해 복잡계적 사고를 통해 기술의 진화에 대한 우발성이 아니라 그들이 만들어낸 차이를 인식하고 혼돈의 가장자리에서 새로운 질서를 창발하는 현상에서 복잡계 시스템을 이해하고 선제적 대응 및 관리에 대한 기술적 혁신을 예측할 수 있는 기반을 제공하고자 한다. 복잡계적 사고로 분석해보면 지구가 처한 환경문제는 혼돈의 가장자리에 자리잡고 있다. 이러한 부분은 공공적인 부분에서 주도를 하고 있지만 이들만의 노력만으로는 해결이 되지 않는 다양한 구성요소들 간의 상호작용을 통한 인과관계를 형성하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 상호작용으로 환경규제에 대한 새로운 질서의 창발현상을 설명하고 있으며 환경규제를 공공적인 부분만의 질서가 아니라 민간 혹은 기업에서의 의지와 행동이 임계점에 도달하여 새로운 질서를 창발하는 노력이 필요함을 제시하고자 한다. 따라서 불확실성에 대한 환경규제의 새로운 질서를 이해하려는 기반을 제공하고자 한다.

This study was carried out to find the problems of assessment on terrestrial ecosystem part in environmental impact analysis(EIA) and to suggest the proper amelioration measures by analyzing 19 environmental impact statements(EIS) published during the period from 1991 to 1994. The results obtained from this study were as follows. Field survey for the investigation of fauna and flora in project areas should be conducted at least 3 times a year and name of investigator should be written on the EIS clearly. Increase or decrease in degree of green naturality and productivity cannot be an absolute criteria for expressing the amount of changes in ecosystem. Evaluation for the ecosystems and their composition in project area is more important than presenting merely the increase or decrease in degree of green naturality and productivity. Alleviation measures in 19 EISs analyzed in this study were summarized into 6 types: They are establishment of landscape plan, transplanting of useful trees preservation of big tree and protected species, restoration and preservation of existent vegetation, establishment of soil conservation measures and diminution of the impact on animal. However, they were somewhat insufficient because they wouldn't suggest the alleviation measures in detail. The more positive counter-proposals are needed to decrease the impact of the project on terrestrial ecosystem.

The purpose of this study is to enhance elementary students' awareness of environment-friendly life and help them to prepare for a better life in the future. To achieve this purpose we examined the effect typical environmental experience-based learning activities, which were based on the local circumstances with high environmental-educational potential, have on the attitudes toward environment-friendly life. This study was carried out on the basis of typical environmental experience-based learning in the small class size. The research group used was composed of one sixth grade elementary school class called Sangroksu, whose total students were 9. The research period lasted from March 2005 to February 2006. To analyze the result of this study, two research methods were applied simultaneously : quantitative research methods and qualitative research methods. Especially statistical analysis in quantitative research methods by self-administrated questionnaire was done with SAS program. Qualitative research methods were analyzed in a cyclic pattern, including the processes of domain analysis, classification analysis, and factor analysis which continued to be associated with data-collecting methods. This research shows the following results. First of all, students have shown meaningful differences after typical environmental experience-based learning activities.(p<.05). Followings are fields of the differences - students‘ interest on the subject, their understanding levels of necessity for basic environmental facilities around us as well as for the kinds of environmental experience-based learning, awareness levels of various environmental problems, consciousness on environment conservation, and the practicing ability of environment - friendly lifestyles. Secondly, We have discovered improvements in the following fields after this study - the knowledge and understanding levels on our environment and human relationships, students' fundamental abilities to work out environmental problems, right ideas and appropriate attitudes on environment protection, the practicing ability of environment-friendly life styles, and their parents' understanding levels on the education related to environment. In conclusion, typical environmental experience-based learning activities have a positive effect on the improvement of elementary school students' environment-friendly life styles.

Background: Social distancing by working-from-home is an effective measure to decrease the spread of COVID-19. However, this new work pattern could also affect the well-being of workers. Therefore, the aim of the study was to study the magnitude of occupational health problems and lifestyle changes among workers who have only recently started working from home. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using online self-administered questionnaires during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in the Bangkok metropolitan area, Thailand. The participants were from any organization that allowed working from home. The demographic data including the analysis of the characteristics of working from home, the occurrence of occupational health problems, and the lifestyle changes caused by working from home were analyzed. Results: A total of 869 workers were included as study participants. The highest prevalence of physical health problems among all workers was identified to be weight gain at a rate of 40.97% (95% confidence interval = 37.69-44.24), and the highest prevalence of psychosocial problems was identified to be cabin fever at a rate of 31.28% (95% confidence interval = 26.66-35.90%) among full-time working-from-home workers. The health effects that were significantly related to the intensity of working from home (p for trends <0.05), either positively or negatively, included body weight changes, ergonomic problems, indoor environmental problems, and psychosocial problems. Meanwhile, the lifestyle changes related to work intensity included eating pattern, sleep habits, and exercise. Conclusions: Working from home can affect workers' well-being in various aspects. Hence, occupational health providers must prepare for risk prevention and health promotion in this "new normal" working life pattern and for future pandemics.

Most countries have problems regarding the quantity and quality of their fresh water resources, and many countries are suffering from the e(feces of pollution of their inland and coastal waters. Italy is one of the country in which water supply is extremely uneven, and there are wide areas where it represents a real emergencies during periods of drought. All the watershed's water resources, however, are subjected to considerable anthropogenic pressure such as organic load with heavy metals. The high values of organic materials are accounted for mainly by runoff and percolation waste water from urban and agricultural land extensively ma- nured with effluents (rom livestock farming, while high concentration of heavy metals are found in watersheds of national and interregional significance. More than 35% of the underground water bearing strata of certain basins are already contaminated by pollution boih industrial and agricultural pollutants. In these connection, the problems and new measures of water resources in Italy are overviewed.
