Air pollution problem has been one of the most urgent global environmental problems since UN Framework Convention on Climate Change accepted in Rio Conference, 1992. International environmental regulations of global community to reduce the green house gases have influenced the domestic environmental policies. International trends of environmental regulation are introduced in this paper.

This paper presents the findings relative to the influence factors on the safety of construction worker's actions. It identifies the factors which are involved in the safety behavior exercised by construction worker. They are compiled from existing studies that investigates the factors relative to the safety behavior. This study finds some factors which have powerful direct effects on safety behavior of construction workers. In addition, a model which defines the relationship between the factors and the behaviors of workers is established to analyze the effects. This study contributes to designe a theoretical model that shows workers' behaviors and analyzes the effects attributed to these factors: i.e., organizational commitment, stress reaction, safety motivation, safety knowledge, and safety climate. Survey questionaries are administered to the workers on the construction job sites located in Daegu metropolitan city. using SPSS18.0 and AMOS18.0, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's alpha, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Structural Equations Model analysis were performed. The research findings are as follows; The communication and educational training have the direct effect on the safety behavior. The factors of the safety climate constraints and/or contributes to the safety motivation, safety knowledge, and organizational commitment.

Calculation of the damage impact of chemical accidents is an important element in site, and the initial isolation distance and the protective action distances are significant factors in coping the chemical accident. In this study, three major cities that represent each Province were selected, and the safety distances were calculated considering regional climate conditions. The results were compared with the prescribed values in Emergency Response Guidebook. It is concluded that the regional meteorological conditions such as temperature, vapour pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover should be reflected in estimating the initial isolation distance and the protective action distance.

Recently, Due to Climate change, extreme rainfall occurs frequently. In many preceding studies, Because of extreme hydrological events changes, it is expected that peak flood Magnitude and frequency of drainage infrastructures changes. However, at present, probability rainfall in the drainage facilities design is assumed to Stationary which are not effected from climate change and long-term fluctuation. In the future, flood control safety standard should be reconsidered about the valid viewpoint. In this paper, in order to assess impact of climate change on drainage system, Future climate change information has been extracted from RCP 8.5 Climate Change Scenario for IPCC AR5, then estimated the design rainfall for various durations at return periods. Finally, the design flood estimated through the HEC-HMS Model which is being widely used in the practices, estimated the effect of climate change on the Design Flood of Mihochen basin. The results suggested that the Design Flood increase by climate change. Due to this, the Flood risk of Mihochen basin can be identified to increase comparing the present status.

This study aims to assess the slope stability variation of Jeonbuk drainage areas by RCM model outputs based on A1B climate change scenario and infinite slope stability model based on the previous research by Choi et al.(2013). For a large-scale slope stability analysis, we developed a GIS-based database regarding topographic, geologic and forestry parameters and also calculated daily maximum rainfall for the study period(1971~2100). Then, we assess slope stability variation of the 20 sub-catchments of Jeonbuk under the climate change scenario. The results show that the areal-average value of safety factor was estimated at 1.36(moderately stable) in spite of annual rainfall increase in the future. In addition, 7 sub-catchments became worse and 5 sub-catchments became better than the present period(1971~2000) in terms of safety factor in the future.

In this paper, we developed a system which can detect and can alarm about the sailing provocative climate by using a photo. The research on domestic shipbuilding industry and in IT fusion technology is under construction, but a reliable safety device which can alarm a sailor about the circumstances of the fog and rain during ship operation as soon as possible due to the constant state in domestic. In this paper, a compact, for system low-power transceiver and data processing equipment for sensing were developed, also a performance evaluation got accomplished with simulation analysis. In results, it is operating normally at least 32.36[dB] and maximum values f 89.20[dB] in the domestic, and 32.55 to 60.66[dB] in the outdoors.

Purpose: This study aims to understand the types and amounts of greenhouse gases among substances generated when operating facilities at resource recovery facilities in Seoul and analyze their impact on the environment. Research design, data and methodology: As a research method, you can directly visit four resource recovery facilities in Seoul, investigate greenhouse gases generated when operating the facilities, and then understand the distribution of generation through the greenhouse gas calculation formula. In addition, the impact, distribution, etc. that they have regionally can be confirmed by comparing the emission source and the surrounding site boundary line through the environmental impact survey report Results: When operating resource recovery facilities, you can determine whether there is a possibility that they will actually affect the surrounding areas, especially in areas where humans reside, such as private homes and vulnerable facilities, and if so, the results can be determined. The goal of this study is to understand how much the effects of greenhouse gases contribute to climate change and what the effects are on the human body. Conclusions: he results of this study can identify the causes of negative images of the survival of resource recovery facilities and the expansion and establishment of new resource recovery facilities, and suggest eco-friendly measures such as waste export, recycling, and recycling instead of new construction on the impact on climate change.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on patient safety management activities of nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional design was adopted. The sample included 307 nurses working in three tertiary university hospitals. Data were collected during November and December, 2012, with a response rate of 93%. A 40-item patient safety management activities scale was used to measure patient safety activities. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment were also measured with established instruments and included general characteristics. Data were analyzed with PASW 18.0 program. Results: The mean score for patient safety management activities was 3.98 out of 5. Stepwise multiple linear regression indicated that organizational commitment (${\beta}$=.20, p<.001) and job satisfaction (${\beta}$=.18, p=.013) respectively predicted patient safety management activities. Especially, the addition of organizational commitment as the strongest predictor of patient safety management activities increased the associated explained variance ($R^2$ change=.11, p<.001). Conclusion: It is important for managers to create an organizational climate that promotes the organizational commitment and job satisfaction of nurses. Future studies are encouraged to replicate the findings and also to better understand patient safety management activities and personal emotional stability.
