  • Urban parks are important bird habitat in cities. Various studies have evaluated the habitat function of urban parks focused on field surveys. In this study, we performed applicability of NDVI obtained from Landsat 8 OLI image as a factor for spatial planning considered bird diversity. This study was classified with green boundary into three groups using NDVI's value. Environmental variables were calculated by the green area ratio of the surrounding area from 100m to 500m at each groups. The 20 environmental variables such as park area, park shape index, canopy of tree, etc. were derived, the regression analysis was performed as a dependent variable for the bird diversity of urban parks. As a result, the park area and the green area ratio of Group 3, classified high NDVI, within the 100m buffer were adopted as the variables in the regression model. In other words, it was confirmed that as the park becomes larger, the distribution of key green areas within a radius of 100m of the parks becomes higher, the diversity of bird species has increased. It was appropriate to use satellite image, NDVI to analyze species diversity in urban area.

  • As more serious environmental problems of buildings, many researchers have recognized the importance of preserving the environment where we live as well as a necessity of developing architecture with eco-environmentally. As a result, our country and some advanced countries have tried to solve these problems in that developed green building assessment tools for estimating environmental performance of buildings. Among many kinds of buildings, hospital which have been relation with human beings has been laking in basic raw materials of researching hospital's environment. Especially, there are few materials about indoor environment of hospital. So, the facilities of patients not only have to depend on the quality of natural environment but be also taken into account of patients. The purpose of this study is to prepare the basic data to develop the items of indoor environmental assessment for hospital to improve the quality of hospital's indoor environment. To come to a conclusion, we used a method of comparing domestic green building certification criteria, LEED v.2.2 and GBTool 2005. Then, we analyzed them for the case studies. Consequently, we could grasp basic data to assist in effecting domestic green building certification criteria for hopital. Furthermore, we have made a progressive research about setting grades of it.

  • A facile and convenient method was developed for the mass production of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) rich green tea extract (Er-GTE). The Er-GTE was successfully obtained from the crude water extract of green tea by the combination of two step purification, i.e., a simple adsorption process on the cation exchange resins (Trilite SCR-B) followed by the chromatography with Diaion HP-20 resins. The green tea extract produced by water extraction under $45^{\circ}C$ was subjected to adsorb on the strongly acidic cation exchange resin, Trilite SCR-B. The eluate passed through the resin was reabsorbed on Diaion HP-20 resin, which was subjected to elute with a mixture of water and alcohol by conventional chromatographical manner. The EGCG content in Er-GTE was estimated above 97% by HP-LC analysis and the newly developed method was regarded as the most suitable and appropriate process for the mass production of epigallocatechin gallate rich green tea extract (Er-GTE).

  • This study aims to identify variables, which have relationship to the information credibility toward brand trust. Other than that, this study also proposes a system dynamics approach method, where the time to achieve different credible information can be modeled efficiently and by using variable-oriented simulation methods. Data, which are used for testing, are derived from 400 questionnaires. Data for SEM are collected by using questionnaire and are processed using AMOS software to identify the result whether it is proper to determine the proper variables and the indicators, which will be processed in the simulation using Powersim. The result shows that, from six variables proposed, five are significant variables that support the information credibility. The value of information credibility has fluctuated in 10 years. The important aspect in business activity is a business strategy that incorporates marketing activities. Many companies are adopting green marketing practice to achieve a better business performance, so that information credibility factor is needed. Over the past few years, numerous industries in Indonesia have increased awareness toward green movement. Some companies apply the whole process of creating green products, while others only do so partially, but this is a good approach to green business development in Indonesia nonetheless.

  • At present, environmental problems are gradually becoming quite serious because of the expansion of the business scale of companies, factories, and enterprises, and that is also the reason for the global pollution of the world. Green entrepreneurship is playing an increasingly crucial role in influencing people's intentions, behaviors, and attitudes toward environmental protection through sustainable development. The purpose of this research was to examine the factors affecting university students' green entrepreneurship levels in Vietnam. To do this, we performed a scientific research survey with 773 students from reputable universities in Vietnam, 337 of whom are male and 436 of whom are female. To assess the reliability and correlation between observed and total variables, this study employs scale testing methods such as Cronbach alpha, EFA, CFA, and SEM. After evaluating the influencing elements, the findings reveal that the Subjective norm factor and the Risk-aversion component are two distinct aspects that influence university students' green entrepreneurship intentions in Vietnam and of which, the greatest influence is Risk Aversion. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the level of interest in green entrepreneurship is mostly seen by students with university education between the ages of 18-25.

  • This study was conducted to investigate residual organochlorine pesticides in green house soil and oriental melon, green pepper, and lettuce. The majority of them were designated as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the international community at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutant. Extraction and clean-up method were developed using the QuEChERS method for residual organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil and oriental melon, green pepper and lettuce. Recovery of OCPs in greenhouse soil and oriental melon, green pepper, and lettuce ranged from 73.3-110.6%. Limit of detection (LOD) of OCPs in soil and 3 crops were 0.01-0.08 and $0.11-0.17{\mu}g/kg$. The residues of OCPs in oriental melon, green pepper and lettuce greenhouse soil were analyzed by the developed method, and dieldrin, ${\beta}-endosulfan$ and endosulfan sulfate were detected at 1.4-72.5, 0.1-78.7 and $0.0-214.1{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The detection frequency of 3 compounds in soils were 52 (29.7%), 34 (19.4%) and 57 (32.6%) among 175 samples, respectively. However, these compounds were not detected in all crop samples. The residue level in 3 crops were lower than 1/58.8 of maximum residue level of them. These results showed that the OCPs residue in oriental melon, green pepper, and lettuce greenhouse soil were not as high as crop safety threatening.
