The purpose of this study was to identify the perception of residents on green home and their green residential life. For this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted and the items consisted of whether green home was perceived and how well green residential life was maintained in 6 types of environments. A total 118 responses of residents living in apartments of Seoul Metropolitan Area were used for data analysis. Using statistical program SPSS Win 18.0, frequency analysis, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and factor analysis was employed. The major findings were as follows: 1) slightly more than half of the respondents were aware of green home, and the vast majority were in favor of the green home policy; 2) most of the respondents carried out guidelines of green residential life, and in particular, green living on air environment was well done, followed by consumption, waste, energy, traffic and water; 3) the six kinds of environments were subcategorized by using factor analysis, and 3 to 5 factors were included in each category of environment. Also, it was found that age, educational level, employment status of respondents, housing tenure and duration were related to the degree of green residential life. In midst of global movement toward sustainability, environmentally friendly living is not optional but mandatory, so it's important to change each individual's value on the relation between people and environment and to facilitate more environmentally conscious behaviors.

Because of their low operating and maintaining costs, ground-source heat pump(GSHP) systems are an increasingly popular choice for providing heating, cooling and water heating to public and commercial buildings. Despite these advantages and the growing awareness, GSHP systems to residential sectors have not been adopted in Korea until recently. A feasibility study of a residential GSHP system was therefore conducted using the traditional life cycle cost(LCC) analysis within the current electricity price framework and potential scenarios of that framework. As a result, when the current residential electricity costs for running the GSHP system are applied, the GSHP system has weak competitiveness to conventional HVAC systems considered. However, when the operating costs are calculated in the modified price frameworks of electricity, the residential GSHP system has the lower LCC than the existing cooling and heating equipments. The calculation results also show that the residential GSHP system has lower annual prime energy consumption and total greenhouse gas emissions than the alternative HVAC systems considered in this work.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present policy implications by analyzing the residential environment in North Korea under the Kim Jong-un regime. Research design, data, and methodology: Residential environment analysis was reviewed by dividing it into physical, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and policy aspects. Results: Pyongyang are considerably superior due to it being the residence of the country's leadership and middle class. Secondly, there is a concerning problem with the provision of substandard housing. Construction materials are in short supply, and unreasonable timelines often lead to uninhabitable houses, signaling a need for assistance in housing construction. Thirdly, there is a severe lack of essential residential infrastructure, such as reliable electricity and clean water supply, which significantly impacts the quality of life. Lastly, due to the country's economic hardships, basic housing rights are not guaranteed, leading to deplorable living conditions for many North Koreans. The report suggests that these issues should be addressed through international aid to guarantee the basic human rights of North Koreans. Conclusions: In North Korea, the poor living environment deteriorates the health and quality of life of citizens and adversely affects social and economic development. Therefore, international support and cooperation to improve the living environment of North Koreans is important.

The aim of this study is to develop a quantified water loss Index to evaluate and manage leakage scientifically for the reduction of non-revenue water in water distribution systems. For the purpose, unavoidable background leakage suggested from UK water industry and IWA, and allowable water leakage in accord with the concept of allowable water loss are proposed by analyzing the inflow into two study water districts and the short-term water use of each customer in the districts. The study distribution areas are selected among the metered districts with good maintenance of leakage after improvement activities in Nonsan, medium sized city in Korea. Estimation models of allowable leakage are developed by metering and analyzing the minimum night flow at residential and commercial areas in the city. In the results of the investigation, it is estimated that background night flow in residential area was larger than that of commercial area where the types of business shows small water use characteristics. Meanwhile, night flow and background water loss on internal plumbing systems show great differences for each district which is influenced much by the water use characteristics and facilities scale. Based on metering water use data in various districts, leakage management criteria can be established under the consideration of domestic conditions in Korea by analyzing separated real water use and background leakage and it is possible to apply into presentation of optimal leakage level and reasonable time for working activities for leakage reduction.

본 연구는 가뭄시 제한급수를 할 경우 이에 대한 소비자의 지불의사를 추정코자 하였다. 7대 특 광역시와 32개 가뭄상습지역에 거주하는 일반인을 대상으로 가정용수 수요패턴과 가뭄을 고려한 가정용수의 가치를 추정하였다. 조사결과 상대적으로 부유한 특 광역시 주민들은 수돗물의 수량보다는 수질을 더 중요하게 생각하였고 상습가뭄지역의 주민들은 수질도 중요하지만 수량의 중요성을 강조하고 있다. 지불의사 추정을 위한 설문은 양분선택형과 개방형을 혼합하였고, 모형은 Tobit모형을 이용하였다. 예상대로 교육수준이 높을수록, 가구수가 많을수록, 소득이 높을수록 지불의사가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 가뭄으로 인해 가정용수의 25% 제한시 일인당 WTP가 약 2,010원으로 추정되었다. 그러나 예상과는 반대로, 50% 제한시에는 25% 경우 보다 조금밖에 증가하지 않았다. 이는 소비자들의 조세저항 때문이기도 하고 실제 그 같은 가뭄을 경험하지 못했기 때문일 것이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 실제 가뭄상황에 대한 소비자들의 WTP는 본 연구보다 훨씬 높을 것으로 판단된다. 중앙정부 및 지방정부들은 가까운 미래에 찾아올지도 모르는 가뭄으로 인한 물부족에 대비하여 보다 효율적인 물공급 및 분배체계를 갖추어야 할 것이며 소비자들 역시 생활용수의 확보를 위해 현재의 물 값 이상의 비용을 지불할 의사가 있음을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 정부는 상수도의 급수체계조정 및 비상시 대체수자원을 확보할 수 있는 대안을 시급히 강구해야 한다.
