The purpose of this study is to find out the influence of the urban stream investigation on elementary school students' environmental conservation awareness. The urban stream investigation was applied to the experimental group and the control group has been taught by the traditional teaching method focused on the teacher's lecture. To analyze the effect of urban stream investigation, the pre- and post-tests on environmental conservation awareness composed of interest in living things, perception about water pollution and environmental conservation were applied to the both groups. The results were analyzed by One-way ANOVA and ANCOVA. As a result, there were not significant difference between the experimental and the control group in the pretest(p>.05). In the post-tests on the student's interest in living things, perception about water pollution and environmental conservation the scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(p<0.05). Therefore, the urban stream investigation made a positive effect on improving of elementary school students' environmental conservation awareness.

This study examines how environmental consciousness and socially responsible clothing consumption attitude influence people's perceptions of the consequences of fast fashion. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey administered to females in their 20s to 40s, and a total of 430 surveys were used in the final analysis. The research results are as follows. First, environmental consciousness-which was conceptualized as interest in consumer effectiveness and the environment-had a positive influence on attitudes toward socially responsible clothing consumption attitude, i.e., clothing recycling and resource conservation. As the perception of consumer effectiveness was high, respondents had a tendency not to follow trends. Second, consumers with a high level of interest in the environment perceived the effect of fast fashion on the environment as serious, and they felt negatively toward personal use of fast fashion. Third, consumers with strong resource conservation behavior perceived the effect of fast fashion on the environment as serious, but those with positive attitudes toward secondhand clothing did not appear to have that perception. Finally, consumers who followed trends and those with weakly held attitudes about resource conservation felt positively toward personal use of fast fashion. The results of this research indicate that environmental consciousness is an important factor for socially responsible clothing consumption behavior. In addition, consumers with strong attitudes regarding resource conservation were more perceptive of the negative effect of fast fashion on the environment.

A survey of middle school students and teachers in Mokpo city has been done to understand the perception of environment of students and the present situation of environmental education in middle school. Only 2 of the 14 middle schools have chosen the environmental education course as a required subject. The majority of middle-school students in Mokpo city have learned the environmental education as a subordinate course included in the other subjects such as science, social science or technology. The environmental education in school has been done mostly through non-subject activities such as club activity, group work etc. The survey shows that almost all students think the environmental pollution is serious problem(83% of respondents) and they are especially interested in separate garbage collection(72%) and environmental conservation activity(63.9%) to protect the environment. The concerns about the environmental problems of students(57.7%) has increased after environmental education regardless educational methods or subjects. The students and teachers think that environmental education in school has not been carried out enough and almost all of them(68.4% of students, 97.5% of teachers) agree that the environmental education should be done as an independent subject. In order to more practical and effective environmental education, many opportunities to experience environmental conservation activities should be given during the environmental education course and the environmental education should be separated from other subjects to be taught independently. Moreover, it might be necessary to increase proportion of teachers in environmental disciplines and to develop various teaching methods.

민통선이북지역은 주민들의 열악한 생활환경 개선을 위한 지역개발이냐 자연환경보전이냐의 상반되는 의견으로 끊임없는 논란을 야기시켰다. 이에 본 연구는 민통선이북지역에 거주하고 있는 주민들과 공무원들의 민통선 일원의 자연환경에 대한 인식과 자연환경보전 및 개발에 대한 태도를 알아보기 위해 파주시와 연천군 민통선지역 주민 265명과 시 군공무원 285명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 주민과 공무원들은 민통선 일원의 우수한 자연경관과 자연환경 및 다양한 생물종 보유에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하며 이에 대한 자부심과 긍지가 높은 것으로 나타났고, 자연환경은 많이 훼손되어 잘 보전되지 못한 것으로 인식하고 있으며 특히 연천지역 주민은 더 그렇다고 응답했다. 전체적으로 주민들이 자연환경보전을 우선시하거나 최소한 보전과 조화를 이룬 개발을 원하는 것으로 파악되었고, 지역 공무원들 또한 지역의 발전을 위한 희생적인 태도가 강한 것으로 파악되어 민통선지역에 대한 지속가능발전의 인식 토대는 긍정적인 것으로 평가되었다. 지역별로 처한 상황에 따라 주민과 공무원간의 의견차이가 유의미하게 나타났는데 파주지역의 경우 주민들이 지역개발을 더 원하는 데 비하여 공무원들은 환경훼손에 대한 우려와 자연환경보전 의지가 상대적으로 더 높아 갈등이 예상되었다. 향후 지역개발과 자연환경보전의 목표를 동시에 달성하기 위하여 자연환경에 대한 학술조사와함페 주민의 의사를 충분히 반영하고 조화롭게 진행되도록 지역주민의 생활환경에 대한 심층적이고 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

환경문제를 해결하는데 중요한 환경교육은 학교 현장에서 효과적으로 이루어지려면 교사들의 인식이 많은 영향을 미칠 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 부산시 중학교 교사들의 환경 문제에 대한 인식을 2007년 및 2012년 두 차례에 걸쳐 설문조사를 하였다. 2007년 교사 200명, 2012년 300명의 교사들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 471명의 자료가 분석되었다. 교사들의 환경 문제에 대한 인식 수준을 시점, 경력, 전공 교과를 기준으로 비교 분석하여 일선 교육 현장에서의 환경교육을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 두 시점 간 교사들의 환경 문제 인식 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하였다(p<.01). 특히, 현대 환경 문제 인식, 이산화탄소 배출권 제도 등은 과학 전공 교사 및 비과학 전공 교사들에게 인식 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 이는 최근 들어 세계 곳곳에서 나타나는 기상이변과 무분별한 소비위주의 생활방식의 심각성에 기인한다고 여겨진다. 둘째, 경력에 따른 환경 문제의 인식 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하였다(p<.01). 전체적으로 현대 환경 문제 인식, 이산화탄소 배출권 제도, 오존층 파괴, 적조현상, 환경 정책 등에서 인식 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 전공과 무관하게 경력이 많은 교사가 환경오염의 심각성, 환경보전의 필요성, 건강의 중요성 등을 인식하는 정도가 높았다. 셋째, 과학 전공 교사 및 비과학 전공 교사에 따라 환경 문제 인식 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하였다(p<.01). 특히 현대 환경 문제 인식, 이산화탄소 배출권 제도, 오존층 파괴, 핵폐기물, 환경 호르몬, 적조 현상 등 환경 문제 전반에 걸쳐 과학 전공 교사 및 비과학 전공 교사들의 인식 차이가 뚜렷하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the benefits of conservation of the green belt in the Greater Seoul area by CVM using dichotomous choice with a follow-up elicitation method. According to the government's plan, part of the green belt in the Greater Seoul area is to be freed from green belt designation. The mean willingness-topay(WTP) to conserve the green belt in the current state turns out to be about 7,430 won(95% confidence interval 6,220 - 8,640 won) per household, which amounts to 308 billion won per year for entire population of Seoul. This WTP figure is found to be significantly influenced by level of education, sex, and the variables related to the perception and attitudes of respondents.
