  • New Zealand appears to be a water rich country; however there are considerable water allocation issues. Mostly these revolve around balancing environmental concerns with economic development. The largest economic sector is agriculture which currently utilizes around 80% of the allocated water and has considerable potential to increase in size. The resource management framework that New Zealand has developed over the past twenty years revolves around local decision-making and sustainable management principles. As the demands for water have grown there has been growing concern that this framework is inadequate to deal with the issues of declining water quantity and quality through agricultural intensification. In Canterbury, the region with the highest water allocation and demand, a new approach is being trialed. The Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) recognizes the need for: ecological restoration for past damage; infrastructure development for increased irrigation; and the need to link infrastructure with more efficient use of water by both existing and new water users. These three elements are recognized as having equal value. The CWMS builds on the local decision-making concept but is deliberately aimed at consensus building in order to remove expensive and adversarial resource management hearings. It is practical enough to recognize that economic development is needed but that it need not proceed in conflict with the environment, but rather can be a means towards environmental improvement.

  • Nepal is bestowed with abundant water. With more than 1500 mm average annual rainfall in the country, a vast quantity of underutilized groundwater in the Terai belt, and the water stored in snowcaps in the Himalayas, aquifers in the mountains and glacial lakes, Nepal is potentially in an advantageous position in terms of per capita availability. However, low emphasis in management aspect of water and high emphasis in infrastructural developments related to water resources management has resulted in conversion of water in Nepal from a resource to a burden. The global climate change, reduction in number of rainy days, increase in intensity of rainfall during wet monsoon season, encroachment of river banks for settlement, inadequate release of environmental flows from hydropower plants, and attempt to tame the mighty and high velocity rivers of Nepal have resulted in increasing number of water induced disasters (flood and landslide), rise in conflict between local residents and hydropower developers, higher number of devastating landslides, and in some extreme cases mass migration of residents resulting in climate refugees. There is a ray of hope; the awareness level of the people regarding sustainable use of water resources is increasing, the benefit sharing mechanism is gradually being implemented, the role of interdisciplinary and integrated water resources management is appreciated at a higher level and the level of preparedness against flood and landslides is at a higher degree compared to a couple of decades ago. With the use of renewable energy sources, the possibilities for sustainable and productive use of water are on the rise in Nepal.

  • 최근 우리 사회에서 빈번하게 목격되는 환경이념과 개발이념 간의 갈등은 대체로 지역의 문제로써 표출되는데, 팔당 상수원 보호구역의 경우도 마찬가지이다. 자연자원의 개발을 통해 지역발전을 도모하고자 하는 지역주민들과 수도권 전체의 공익을 위한 맑은 물 확보 차원의 정부의 노력이 상충되고 있는 현장인 것이다. 더욱이 환경보호가 핵심키워드로 인식되고 있는 작금의 상황은 중앙의 환경단체들이 정부 편에 서서 지배담론을 강화시켜 줌으로써 생존권 화보를 위한 지역주민들의 저항담론을 약화시키고 있고, 따라서 극한 대립의 상황에까지 이르게 하였다. 이러한 갈등의 구도 속에서 매우 인상적인 중재적 역할을 수행하고 있는 것이 바로 유기농업운동이다. 이는 정부와 지역의 첨예한 대림을 완화시키고, 소위 윈-윈(win-win) 전략의 수립이 가능한 방향으로 지역주민들을 설득해가고 있다. 이는 또한 "지속가능한 발전", 혹은 "지탱가능성" 이념을 충족시킬 수 있는 하나의 대안으로써 이 지역에서 뿌리를 내려가고 있다. 환경규제에 맞서서 싸우고 있는 지역에서 오히려 혁명적인 친환경적 지역발전 정책들이 추진되고 있다는 본 지역에서의 상황이 다소는 역설적으로 들릴 수 있으나, 이는 우리나라의 농촌지역에서 앞으로도 계속 겪게 될 환경보존과 지역발전의 대립 구도 해결에 있어서 매우 중요한 방향타가 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 세계 25개 이상의 공해의 명칭은 특정 국가나 주의 지명을 따라고 있다. 이러한 명칭들이 널리 받아들여지고 있는 것은 아니지만 몇몇 경우에는 심각한 논쟁을 야기하고 있다. 공해의 국가 지명 사용에 대한 갈등의 수준을 체계적으로 조사해 보면, 이러한 갈등은 공해의 명칭에 사용된 국가의 지배권에 대한 야망을 우려하는 이해 당사자 국가들 사이에 힘의 관계가 변화하는 곳에서 일어나기 쉬움을 알 수 있다. 이는 공해의 국가지명 사용에 대한 상당한 논쟁이 존재하는 다음의 세 상황-The Persian / Arabian Gulf와 The Sea of Japan / East Sea, 그리고 South China Sea / Bien Dong - 의 경우에도 그러하다. 이러한 논쟁이 거의 나타나지 않는 경우는 그 지역에 어떠한 나라도 지명 문제에 대해서 심각한 이해관계를 가지고 있지 않거나, 혹은 해양과 결합된 명칭이 그 지역의 다른 국가들에게 역사적인 위협을 주지 않는 경우이다. 국가나 주의 이름을 따른 공해의 명칭은 단일 민족이나 정치적 존재에 의한 소유권이나 통제권을 내포하고 있기 때문에, 잠재적으로 분쟁 가능성이 있다. 지명을 둘러싼 이러한 논쟁을 이해하기 위해서는 지정학적 문맥에 대한 고려가 요구된다.

  • It has been declared in 1992 at Rio about the management of united water control and method of the management of the water resources at the water basin. And it was also mentioned about the protection of fresh water's quality and it's supply under chapter the 18th of the agenda 21. It has been 10years passed after Rio declaration, and water crisis Is getting more serious than before. Fairly, right for using water resources was given to every life as the public resources. But at the last world water forum, water was commercialized, and regulated as the basic requirement not basic right. Therefore, we could use the water according to the logic of supply and demand at the market, and with money. Furthermore, construction of the big dam which was build to solve the problem of the lack of water became one of problems for water control. Korea is keeping consistent policy such as providing water by the building of dam. Control of the water demand is the most basic and effective policy for the preservation of water resources. If we change the policy such as the construction of the dam, we should put the management of the water demand in the center with the reliable philosophy. United management of the river basin has to be made with the security of water, improvement of water quality, and protection of the ecological side each other. Management of water basin also has to be completed to solve the trouble caused by using water conflict people who live up and down stream. To maintain the good quality of water, management of water basin is necessary. Also, bottom line of the united management of water basin is voluntary involvement of every citizens and local community. We suggest to preserve the origin of river and the upper at the ecological side. It is worth it to preserve.

  • Many students have misconceptions about the direction of force of moving objects, but development of teaching strategy for conceptual change is not easy because the direction of force of moving objects can not be observed directly. Therefore, we devloped demonstration using table tennis ball connected with spring in the water, in which a ball always move to the direction of force of moving objects. This study is to investigate students' responses on the demonstrations designed to generate cognitive conflict and to understand more deeply the process of conceptual change. To do this, five questions were administrated to identify students' preconceptions about force and motion, and interview was conducted using demonstrations, and the process of interview was recorded by video camera. About half of students changed their preconceptions by observing the demonstration. However about thirty percentage of students did not change their preconceptions even though they observed demonstration correctly, among these students, some students simply rejected the observation, doubted the process of demonstrations, or reinterpret the result of observation to preserve their own preconceptions.

  • 전자주민카드 시스템은 일정한 행정서비스의 전제조건이 될 것라는 점이 강조되었으며, 나아가 정부는 전자주민카드 시스템을 전제로 국민에게 제공되는 서비스를 관리하며 선거를 치르고 대부분의 정책결정을 할 수 있도록 시스템 디자인을 하였다. 그러나 전자주민카드는 제도화되지 못한 채 상당히 오랜 시간을 표류하였는데, 본 연구는 이러한 정책 사례를 토대로 그 과정을 점검하고 어떤 갈등요소가 작용하게 되는지에 대한 논의를 해보고자 한다. 지나간 정책이지만 향후 새로운 정책이 개진될 때 이러한 갈등사례연구는 거듭되는 실패를 감소시킬 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

  • According to the multi-index system of dam safety assessment and the standard of safety, a comprehensive evaluation model for dam safety based on a cloud model is established to determine the basic probability assignment of the Dempster-Shafer theory. The Dempster-Shafer theory is improved to solve the high conflict problems via fusion calculation. Compared with the traditional Dempster-Shafer theory, the application is more extensive and the result is more reasonable. The uncertainty model of dam safety multi-index comprehensive evaluation is applied according to the two theories above. The rationality and feasibility of the model are verified through application to the safety evaluation of a practical arch dam.

  • The aim of this study is to develop a sunscreen stick formulation technology with excellent water resistance and washability. Consumers' needs for sunscreen products are diversifying. Water resistance and ease of washing are both important factors in sunscreen products. However, it is difficult to develop a sunscreen formulation that satisfies these two factors at the same time, because these two elements are in conflict. Fatty acid has a hydrophobic property against the water with low or neutral pH, but when it contacts with soapy water which has high pH, saponification occurs and the fatty acids become surfactants and can be dispersed in the water. Using the reaction characteristics of fatty acids, we can make sunscreen that is highly resistant to water or sweat, but is only selectively removed from soapy water. We found that the sunscreen stick containing fatty acids had better water resistance and washability than the sunscreen sticks without fatty acid. The sunscreen stick containing fatty acids showed a tendency to improve water resistance by scattering ultraviolet rays of long wavelength area by forming insoluble precipitation with divalent ions in tap water after immersion. In addition, an increase in the fatty acid content tended to also increase the ease of cleaning the sunscreen stick. Solid fatty acid was advantageous in improving water resistance than liquid fatty acid, but there was no difference between solid fatty acids and liquid fatty acid in washability. When it comes to stability, the sunscreen stick using liquid fatty acids maintained a high hardness and melting point, and showed no sweating. Based on this study, it is possible to develop an easy washable sunscreen stick formulation technology that has excellent water resistance but is selectively removed only in soapy water.
