  • A new technology has provided the nation, industry, society, and people with innovative and useful functions. National economy and society has been improved through this technology innovation. Despite the benefit of technology innovation, however, since technology society was sufficiently mature, the unintended side effect and negative impact of new technology on society and human beings has been highlighted. Thus, it is important to investigate a risk of new technology for the future society. Recently, the risks of the new technology are being suggested through a large amount of social data such as news articles and report contents. These data can be used as effective sources for quantitatively and systematically forecasting social risks of new technology. In this respect, this paper aims to propose a data-driven process for forecasting and assessing social risks of future new technology using the text mining, 4M(Man, Machine, Media, and Management) framework, and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). First, social risk factors are forecasted based on social risk keywords extracted by the text mining of documents containing social risk information of new technology. Second, the social risk keywords are classified into the 4M causes to identify the degree of risk causes. Finally, the AHP is applied to assess impact of social risk factors and 4M causes based on social risk keywords. The proposed approach is helpful for technology engineers, safety managers, and policy makers to consider social risks of new technology and their impact.

  • It can be said that the revegetation technology in Japan was started in 1960's when Japan entered into the era of high-growth economy. In the beginning, the revegetation technology was mainly applied on the man made slopes, and with the time, the fields of the revegetation technology have been extended to the urban landscaping, ecosystem conservation, prevention of desertification and so on. With the progress of the revegetation technology and the expansion of its fields, new problems have occurred. In this paper, I introduced the history of The Japanese Society of Revegetation Technology and the present condition, and discussed about the problems of the revegetation technology in Japan.

  • General problems of environmental contamination, scope of environmental science and technology, some considerations to the development of Korean environmental technology, and G-7 environmental engineering technology Projects were shortly reviewed, And four different strategies for innovation of Korean environmental technology. First, development of Energy Policy and environmental technology based on the pro - environmental thought; second, development of systematic environmental science and technology : third, strengthening of pre- deliberation for imported foreign technology and promotion of utilization of native developed technology; finally, maximization of abilities for researchers and engineers in environmental technology field.
