As a waste management tool, the prohibition of landfilling of food waste has enforced since 2005. the composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) has changed dramatically. In this study, MSW generated from a small city collected once a year in 2004, 2005 and 2007, to qualify the characteristics of MSW before and after implementation of the tool. The prohibition of landfilling of food waste dramatically reduces food waste in MSW to 5.5 weight %, and on the other hand results to increase papers to 50.6 % and plastics to 22.6 %, The bulk density lowers to 50 %, which newly propose the necessity of volume reduction and incineration of MSW to ensure efficient transport and disposal. As water content of MSW reduces to 15.9 %, lower heat value of MSW after prohibition of landfilling of food waste increase to 3565.6 kcal/kg. Mitigation of bad smell and waste leachate with lower contaminants are recommendable as a kind of positive effects benefited by the tool.

This report describes the first prize design of Midongsan Eco-park, which is located in Chungcheongbuk-do (North Chungcheong) province. Criteria of the winning design are as follows: 1) The design should include a neighborhood park as well as a portion of a green zone, in order to harmonize the area ecosystem, gradually assimilate the surroundings, and serve as an education tool for the public. 2) According to an analysis of area maps and a site-inspection, a preserved area, a buffer area, a restored area, and a developed area should be developed. In the buffer and restored areas, major facilities and activity spaces should be set up. 3) Observation trails should be accessible to visitors, and a variety of adventure programs should be available. 4) The eco-park should be designed to provide a habitat for the Gorani (Chinese water deer) which used to live around Midongsan. 5) For sensuous and vivid visitor experiences, diverse programs are to be designed to accommodate different seasons, visitor ages, and required time. Environment and eco-education are to be emphasized to maximize the effect of the eco-programs. 6) Optimal activities for visitors of different ages, optimal time intervals and eco-programs by age are also suggested. 7) Facilities are zoned into three sections according to level of development. Each section has a main area and supplementary areas for better understanding. 8) Nature-friendly arrangement of facilities and construction should minimize earthwork and adverse effects on the local ecology. Throughout the planning, the following things were learned: longer-term analysis including all season's observation is essential; planning, designing, bui Iding and managing should be based on this careful, extended observation. The contest should have taken plate over a longer period of time in order enable more detailed planing of the eco-park For improved management and activities, a volunteer system in linked with schools eco-institutions and NGOs should be developed with eco-interpreters.

Pollutant unit load (unit-load) reported by Ministry of Environment (MOE) in 1995 has been a useful method for watershed management and environmental policy decision. The unit-load has been estimated using effective rainfall ratio method. However, reliability of unit-load determined by the method has been criticized especially for paddy field and upland conditions. In this paper the unit-load of paddy field estimated by effective rainfall ratio method was compared with continuous monitoring data. Annual loads was simulated by the method choosing 5~6 storm events randomly from whole events collected. Probability distribution of difference between results by the method and measured data was investigated. The results showed that unit-load derived by the method was generally lesser than measured unit-load and showed wide variations. Therefore, unit-load estimation of paddy fields by effective rainfall ratio method need caution.

Several mines including Namil, Solim and Jungbong which are located in the Gyeonggi and Kangwon province have been abandoned and closed since 1980 due to "The promotion policy of mining industry". An enormous amount of mining wastes was disposed without proper treatment, which caused soil pollution in tailing dam and ore-dressing plant areas. However, any quantitative assessment was not performed about soil and water pollution by transporting mining wastes such as acid mine drainage, mine tailing, and rocky waste. In this research, heavy metals in mining wastes were analyzed according to leaching method which used 0.1 N HCl and total solution method which used Aqua-regia to recognize the ecological effect of distance from hot spot. We sampled tailings, rocky wastes and soils around the abandoned mine. Chemical and physical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC), soil texture and heavy metal concentration were analyzed. The range of soil's pH is between 4.3 and 6.4 in the tailing dam and oredressing plant area due to mining activity. Total concentrations of As, Cu, and Pb in soil near ore dressing plant area are 250.9, 249.3 and 117.2 mg/kg respectively, which are higher than any other ones near tailing dam area. Arsenic concentration in tailing dams is 31.0 mg/kg, which is also considered as heavily polluted condition comparing with the remediation required level(RRL) in "Soil environment conservation Act".

Nowadays, the environmental conservation has become a hot issue. Also the sustainable city issue is recognized as one of the most important tasks to be solved urgently for urban development. Therefore, the current indicator for sustainable city has been analyzed only as a segment of the environmental indicator which is one kind of branch of social indicator. However, considering the degree of pollution and heightened concern, it is time to develop a new and improved framework for the analysis of the sustainable city indicator. This study aims for the development of sustainable city indicator and the examination of practical method for the use of them. Urban sustainable city indicators are based on the "Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework" which has been adopted by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The indicators suggested in this study is composed of the following categories: 1. Indicators of natural environment itself, such as land structure (available land use index etc.), bio-species (bio-diversity index etc.), environment resources (water quantity index etc.) 2. Indicators of relationship between man and environment, such as sustainability of using material (recycle of water index etc.), pressure size (pressure index on air etc.), effort of prevention (environmental basic facility index, etc.) 3. Indicators of environmental state, such as landscape and culture (historical & cultural index etc.), environmental pollution (air pollution index etc.) A sustainable city environment is necessary and obtainable, yet its realization seems to be difficult. The urban pollution problems have become more serious than ever before thus requiring much interest. Therefore, this kind of study is meaningful for the establishment of policy objective, and the development and management environmentally sound and sustainable cities.

This study is aimed at suggesting optical communication equipment that can deliver high quality video information in high speed, to efficiently handle the flood and water pollution in the river basin. This system is cheaper than existing equipment, and can monitor optical Internet as well as the condition of equipment. Generally, the communication equipment to prevent flood is installed in an unmanned control box and operated by the flood control office situated at the fiver mouth in a long distance section. Therefore, it is hard to promptly cope with communication interruptions, which occur by the cutting or aging of the optical cable. Under the circumstances, this study suggested an efficient system that can deliver high quality video information in high speed (Optical Transmission Convert System) by using optical fiber. The system also solves problems by making use of automatic protection switching (APS) when an accident happens. Its real-time monitoring function gives notice of the problem-occurring points. The system is expected to be widely used in various areas such as intelligent traffic systems.

기후변화의 영향으로 전세계적으로 이상 기후 및 자연재해가 증가하면서 재난을 효과적으로 관리하기 위한 법체계 및 제도에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 재난관리의 법과 제도적 측면에 대한 연구는 공학 및 기술적 연구에 비해 충분히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 특히 재난관리에 대해 많은 경험을 축적해온 선진국가의 재난관리체제에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 수준이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 영국의 재난관리체제를 법과 제도를 중심으로 분석하고 한국에 필요한 시사점을 도출한다. 영국의 재난관리 체제는 지방정부가 재난대응에 있어서 주도적인 역할을 수행하고 중앙정부는 대응 가이드라인을 제시하고 지원 및 조정업무를 수행하는 분산적 재난대응체제라 할 수 있다. 중앙정부에는 재해를 전담하는 조직이 별도로 구성되어 있지 않고 지방행정조직이 지역특정에 맞게 위기관리계획을 수립하고 집행한다. 지역별로는 지방정부, 기업, 시민단체로 구성된 민관협력체인 위기관리포럼을 형성하여 재난에 대처한다. 반면 한국의 재난대응체제는 중앙집권적이며 국민안전처가 재해전담조직으로서 역할을 하고 있으나 영국과 같은 민관협력체는 발달하지 않았다는 차이점을 발견할 수 있다. 영국과 한국의 재난관리체제를 비교해 볼 때 다음과 같은 법 제도적 개선방안을 제시할 수 있다. 첫째, 분산되어 있는 재난관리 기본법을 하나로 통폐합할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 지방정부의 재난대응권한을 강화해야 하며 특히 인력과 예산이 재난에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 수준으로 조정되어야 한다. 세째, 지방수준에서 재난대응 관련 기관들간 조정 및 협력을 할 수 있는 체제가 강화되어야 한다. 네째, 민간단체를 재난대응체제에 조직적으로 참여시킬 수 있도록 해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 주민단위의 방재조직이 공공부분과 효과적으로 협조할 수 있도록 할 수 있는 제도적 틀이 필요하다. 다섯째, 재난대응단계 설정에 있어 예방에 앞서 지역의 특성에 따라 예방업무를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있도록 진단하는 평가단계를 추가하는 것을 고려해야 한다.
