Purpose: Global warming is increasingly aggravated by environmental degradation, a challenge that can be mitigated through strategic logistic policies. This study introduces the dynamics of green trade in environmental goods for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) nations. It is a region known for its high environmental degradation, political risk and instability. This study examines how technological innovation and political factors influence the geographic distribution of green trade among OIC nations from 1994 to 2021 using the structural gravity model. The COVID-19 pandemic further emphasised the need for resilient and eco-friendly approaches. Research design, data and methodology: The main objective of the study is to analyse the impact of technological innovation along with scrutinising political determinants of green trade in the OIC region from 1994 to 2021 using the structural gravity model. Results: The results reveal geographic proximity, RTA, and innovation significantly boost green trade. Similarly, OIC's green trade performance has been impeded by high political risk and instability. Conclusions: The research recommends fostering political stability, and conducting further research using longitudinal studies and machine learning to strengthen the understanding of innovation and green trade in the OIC. This will inform policies for sustainable economic growth through green trade.

Purpose - Population is the foundation for maintaining and growing the strength of a nation, and a certain number must be maintained for the growth of the national economy. and Amidst the changing population structure where the elderly population is steadily increasing while the productive population is gradually decreasing, there is a practical need for devising solutions to overcome the low birth rate. Design/methodology/approach - For conducting this study, data was collected from a total of 1,000 residents of Goyang city, aged 19 and above. Out of these, empirical analysis was conducted using the SPSS 29.0 statistical program on the response data of a total of 247 individuals, including 156 individuals in their 20s and 191 individuals in their 30s, who belong to the MZ generation. Findings - The results showed that first, the awareness of the childbirth encouragement policy did not significantly affect the child-rearing environment. The perception of the importance of the childbirth encouragement policy had a positive and significant effect on the child-rearing environment. Moreover, the child-rearing environment had a positive effect on marital attitudes. Research implications or Originality - Thus, rather than the effects of awareness through the promotion and education of national childbirth policies, it is preemptively necessary to realize substantial childbirth encouragement policies for improving the child-rearing environment.

Purpose - In order to gain the upper hand in competition between container terminals, efforts to improve container terminal productivity continue. Export containers arrive randomly in the container terminal and are carried in the container terminal yard according to the arrival order. On the other hand, containers are carried out of the container terminal yard in order based on container weight, not in order of arrival. Because the carry-in order and the carry-out order are different, rehandling may occur, which reduces the performance of the container terminals. In order to reduce rehandling number, containers can be moved in advance when they arrive, which is called preprocessing. This paper proposes an effective preprocessing algorithm and analyzes the factors that affect the productivity of the container terminals. It also provides a way to choose the best factors for preprocessing for a variety of situations. Research design, data, and methodology - To analyze the impact of factors affecting the performance of preprocessing algorithms presented in this paper, simulations are performed. The simulations are performed for two types of bays, 12 stacks with 8 tiers, and 8 stacks with 6 tiers. Results - The results of the factor analysis that affects the performance of the preprocessing algorithm were as follows. (1) As the LMF increased, preprocessing number increases and rehandling number decreased. (2) The LML effect was greatest when the LML changed from 0 to 1, and that the effect decreased when it changed above 1. (3) The sum of preprocessing number and rehandling number was then shown to be increased after decrease, as the LMF increased. (4) In the case of NCI, a decrease in NCI showed that the containers would become more grouped and thus the performance was improved. (5) There was a positive effect in the case of EFS. Conclusion - In this paper, preprocessing algorithm was proposed and it was possible to choose the best factors for preprocessing for a variety of situations through simulations. Further research related to this study needs to be carried out in the following topic : a study on the improvement of container performance by connecting the preprocessing with remarshalling.

As the quantity of goods transported, port industry and inland transport industry have developing to transport 630million ton goods annually. And the inland transport industry consists of ground transport for almost 80% of total transported goods. But, ground transport causes some serious problems especially the emission of greenhouse gases from trucks. According to issue "global warming", many regulations and agreements with countries in the world are becoming necessary and it is being fulfilled now. It is sure that Korea will have duty to reduce CO2 emission from 2013. Thus inland transport must cut off CO2 emission level. Therefore this paper will address that the calculation of CO2 emission under route of transportation container from six major container ports in Korea. And then, it will predict CO2 emission of inland transport industry according to increasing container traffic rate at ports.

Paperless trade is a new trade paradigm that has innovated on traditional trade procedures, which relied on manual work in the past, and applied an IT-based e-document standard. To realize paperless trade in Korea, a lot of efforts have been made. Korea has overcome many difficulties, a lack of awareness, trials and errors, etc. at the initial introduction stage and strived to establish a stable infrastructure through the government's policy support and active cooperation with the trade business communities and related organizations. Now, Korea became a well-known leader in IT industry, especially in the paperless trade infrastructure and strategic policies. The one-stop trading system named 'uTradeHub' is operated by a paperless trade service provider, Korea Trade Network(KTNET). uTradeHub includes trade finance and settlement, customs clearance and export and import logistics, improving trading procedures and reducing related expenses. Private-Public joint efforts from Korean government and private sectors which have respectively fulfilled their role and function with market-oriented practical policies and strategies has lead Korea a world leading country in paperless trade. Moreover, Korea expended its efforts to the global areas. Korea has started to activate multi-national paperless trade alliances such as PAA(Pan-Asia e-Commerce Alliance), ASEAL(Asia Europe Alliance for Paperless Trading) as well as established the bilateral cooperative networks with China and Taiwan. The one-stop trading system, uTradeHub should keep close cooperations between nations since trade itself is implemented in a cross-border ways. In the near future, it is expected uTradeHub can achieve best results in the simplification of procedures and cost savings when an international linkage is completely established with international cooperations.

In today's world economy, technology and knowledge have become the key words for value creation. Since 1998, various research institutions and universities in Korea, with support from Small and Medium Business Administration, have buckled to establish and operate incubating centers in order to foster such industries. Even though these centers have been operated in accordance with the purpose of the establishment, it has been over six years now, and it is necessary to evaluate its overall performance before moving on. Incubating a venture company results in not only technology innovation, but also jobs creation and economic growth. Knowing the importance of that, a government, at all levels, has supported the incubating centers as the most effective way to support venture companies in Korea. Incheon now plays a great role as a hub of logistics and trade in North East Asia. In order to nurture the city as the center of Korean economy, the city of Incheon has financially supported various incubating centers in the city, in an effort to incubate potential venture companies with lack of business experiences. It is imperative to find out what these companies need and how they evaluate the system at this point to develop a guiding principle of its operation as well as a careful selection process of a company in the future. In section II of this research, a concept of an incubating center is defined. An objective, a policy of its operation as well as its structure are explained in this chapter with case studies of Incheon College. 'Resources' are divided into human resources and material resources. And the survey that 71 different companies (out of 164 companies in 10 different incubating centers) have participated in is included in this section as well.
