  • This study intended to interpretate the current value of the cultural landscape resources in Gwansan region, Gwangju-si. The 35 significant cultural landscape resources in Gwangsan region appear education, people in history, living residence, religion & belief, distribution of cultural site, tomb, industry, topographic scenery characteristics. They are classified such as 22 traditional landscape resources, 7 modern landscape resources, 6 natural landscape resources. The significant cultural landscape resources were evaluated by value items of 4 natural landscape, 4 social, and 5 cultural. As a result of value evaluation on the cultural landscape resources in Gwangsan region, the highest value were appeared on the cultural items, while the lowest value were appeared on the social items. And high evaluation were appeared on regional identity, cultural preservation, regional monumentality, visibility, while low evaluation were appeared on unique naturality and connectivity of assets.

  • This study was carried out to manufacture wooden vessels by small diameter wood and wasted wood of Castanea crenata Sieb. et Zucc, which has been largely planted in southern area. We made spice set, tea box set, cookie vessel set, bowl set and accessory set. With the development of edged tools, the human species has been able to fashion wood to change and enhance its environment - one only has to look at the history of all cultures to see examples of wooden artifacts and structures. Even with the development of synthetic materials and the progress of automated, mechanized production of wood and wood products, the raw material is still processed by traditional methods to meet a never-ending demand for products made from this most desirable natural material. Chestnut wood has high added value and natural color grain and is very useful for wooden vessel. Thinned low grade trees can be used to produce wooden vessel. Therefore this result can promote thinning and produce good forestation.

  • The purpose of this study is to derive and to apply green factors focusing on the existing old settlements, Topdong 'Yangdalmal' in Cheongju City. This study is conducted through literatures and GBCC (Green Building Certification Criteria) review. Literatures cover the traditional characteristics of farming village and the modern characteristics of urban space today. The results are following as; first, Land Use, Environment, Resource and Energy are the most important green factors by literatures and GBCC. Second, traditional elements and natural elements such as history and culture, natural resource use and passive planning are added. Finally information communication is added as the green factor showed feature of modern society.

  • Some siphonophores were collected from the Korea Strait, $33^{\circ}59'N-129^{\circ}17'E$ and Yeosu with Issacs-Kidd Midwater trawl net in Sep. 2002. They were identified into Diphyes chamissonis is Huxley, 1859 and Abylopsis eschscholtzi(Huxley, 1859) in the suborder Calycophorae of the order Siphonophora, respectively. They are new to the Korean fauna. As a result of this work, six siphonophores of four families have been reported in Korea.

  • Feeding activites during nestling period of Coal tit (Parus ater) were studied at breeding sites in Mt. Chiri. The average feeding frequency per hour of female Coal tit exceeded that of the male. The average excrement-cleaning frequency per hour of female exceeded that of male, with a longer feed duration. The feeding frequency per hour was generally higher in the morning, and the female exceeded the male in the frquency. It is shown that male of the Coal tit in nestling period played a major role in territorial defense compared with female.

  • This study is concerned about the combustion characteristics of methane-air and methane/hydrogen-air mainly the behavior of burning velocity including the effect of the ignition energy. The experiments were conducted in a spherical combustion bomb designed in this laboratory. The burning velocities were measured by the pressure-time history and the reaction rates were estimated theoretically. The experimental results showed that the burning velocity increased by 25 to 50 percent when hydrogen is added to methane by 20 percent.

  • The decapodid stage of Lebbeus comanthi Hayashi and Okuno and the first zoea of Thor amboinensis (De Man) are described based on laboratory-hatched eggs from females collected from Japan. The decapodid stage of L. comanthi is readily distinguished from that of L. groenlandicus by the carapace without anteroventral denticle and tooth behind rostrum, the absence of the antennal spine, the four-segmented outer flagellum of the antennule, the absence of the palp of the mandible, and the telson with posterior margin con caved medially and without dorsolateral spine. The carapace with anteroventral denticle and the third abdominal somite distinctly curved in lateral view distinguish the first zoea of T. amboinensis from that of T. dobkini Chace and T. floridanus Kingsley. Larval characters of the genus Thor are summarized.

  • While furniture making in general has been traditionally regarded as labor-intensive industry, the making of metal furniture has immense potential in terms of its growth and as a value added industry. Granted that the technology and designing of metal furniture in Korea are still behind the standards enjoyed by the developed nations of the world, still its future here is promising when we consider the comparatively short history of its industry, Korea depends on imports from abroad for almost all the natural resources she needs for industry. Metal (especially iron) industry is, however, one field where she has some advantage over other nations. Korea is a major producer of iron and her technology in this field is competitive in the international market. When viewed from the points of environment and ecology metal furniture has good points, as metals are recyclable when they are discarded and collected properly according to their reusability. This adds to the merits its industry has here as this country, with her limited natural resources, has yet to solve the pressing problem of disposing ever-increasing waste matter from homes and factories.
