  • Community building in Japan, called Machizukuri, has been in existence since the 1960s, and many successful cases are referred to by researchers and public service officials as benchmarks for creating livable cities and towns in Korea. The purpose of this study is to identify the building factors for a sustainable community and to suggest implications through the cases of machizukuri in Japan. Based on the literature review related to the research topic, on-site visit case study was used as the major research methodology. Four cases -Setagaya, Kawagoe, Motomachi, and Manazuru- were selected as the research subjects and interviews with the representatives of the community(resident) council and public officials were conducted during October 19-22, 2011. The project overview, purpose, and planning characteristics of each case were described for data analysis. The major findings are as follows. Although most of the machizukuri in Japan were administration-dependent at the beginning stage, the case projects in this study showed resident-independence (self-support) from the perspective of sustainability. The results showed that successful community building is an everlasting project that requires cooperation among personnels including residents, civic officials, and related council members.

  • This study aims to investigate the antecedent of consumer personal preventive equipment purchase behaviour by extending the HBM model after the pandemic. Pandemic related studies have focused on the effect of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity on consumer preventive behaviour, little studies have investigated the antecedents of consumer perceived risk. This study filled the gaps in the previous studies. This study tested all proposed hypotheses among users who have purchase the self-preventive behaviour. In final 253 valid data were collected through online survey for statistics analysis. This study found that consumer's health consciousness significantly impacted consumer's perceived severity of COVID-19 and perceived risk. Perceived risk positively impacted consumer self-preventive equipment purchase intention. In contrast, perceived susceptibility did not significantly consumer perceived risk. Based on these results, the theoretical implication will be offered on the study of health-related studies and will be given insight for disease control center to effectively manage consumer self-preventive behaviour.

  • The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) is implementing a zero-energy building (ZEB) certification to save energy for the building section and to accelerate the achievement of national greenhouse gases reduction goals in accordance with a new climate regime. In 2014, the MOLIT announced a plan for early activation of the ZEB, and in January 2016, the "Green Buildings Construction Support Act" was revised and established. In addition, the plan was established to gradually spread zero-energy buildings from the public sector in 2020 to the private sector by 2025. Therefore, this study analyzed the self-sufficiency rate of each energy factor according to the implementation of the zero energy building certification of school facilities that belong to the public sector and are included in the mandatory zero energy buildings from 2020.

  • The study examined overuse of the fishery resource. Influence of fishing activity was estimated by application of Schaefer model's. Fishing efforts that produced the maximum sustainable yield were determined in the model, allowing the effect of overfishing to be assessed. In the model, a wide variety of fish species as well as crustaceans and shellfish were susceptible to overfishing, while mollusks were not. Overfishing by modern techniques exacted a greater toll than more traditional methods. The results of the modeling study suggest that the 'Buy bag' input-control system of fisheries resource management warrants consideration, as does modernization, expansion and strengthening of self-control management of the fishery resource. Finally, more effective efforts in dissemination of policy information and education concerning the fishery resource are needed.

  • In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyacrylamide (PAM) have been used as self-curing agents to produce self-curing concrete (SC). Compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), bulk electrical resistivity, chloride ion penetrability, water permeability, and main microstructural characteristics were examined under different curing regimes, and compared to those of the control concrete mixture with no self-curing agents. One batch of a control mixture and one batch of a SC mixture were air-cured in the lab to act as non-water-cured samples. The water curing regimes for the control mixture included continuous water curing for 3, 7, and 28 days and periodical moist curing using wetted burlap for 3 and 7 days. Curing regimes for the SC mixtures included 3 days of water curing and periodical moist curing for 3 and 7 days. SC mixtures showed better microstructure development and durability performance than those of the air-cured control mixture. A short water curing period of 3 days significantly improved the performance of the SC mixtures similar to that of the control mixture that was water cured for 28 days. SC concrete represents a step towards sustainable construction due to its lower water demand needed for curing and hence can preserve the limited water resources in many parts of the world.
