This study aims to identify participating resident awareness of the improvements to forest carbon cycle villages created by the Korea Forest Service by introducing a system for district heating basedon forest biomass in mountainous areas. Hwacheon Forest Carbon Circulation village was established in Paroho-neureup village in Yuchon-ri, Hwacheon-gun between 2011 and 2013. However, its operation has not been smooth due to the increasing number of households rapidly leaving the district heating system. This study surveyed 76 households that participated in the district heating system using forest biomass in the early stages of the project. This includes households participating in the district heating system(participating households) and households not currently participating in the district heating system(withdrawal households) from September 2019. Surveys focused on the process of participating in forest carbon cycle village projects, and satisfaction in local heating and policy requirements. Of the 67 households, excepting those not allowed to participate in the survey due to death or having moved elsewhere, 36 households participated and 31 households the were in the process of leaving the village were also included. As a result, there was a significant difference between participating and exiting households in the motivation and satisfaction level of district heating. The results of this study are expects to reflect the importance of awareness of residents in the operation of the forest carbon cycle village. This will be utilized as an important dataset for improvement as a means to promote the re-entry if outgoing households. It will also help set the direction of the forest town revitalization project, utilizing forest biomass in the future.

The National Institute of Environmental Research (3rd KONEHs) conducted a survey of 280 residents in Ulsan, Suwon and Asan, and the concentration of heavy metals in the blood and urine were also analyzed. In case of blood lead concentration, Ulsan 2.27 ㎍/㎗, Suwon 2.08 ㎍/㎗, and Asan 1.75 ㎍/㎗, the high peak in Ulsan, and the low peak in Asan. In case of cotinine concentration, Ulsan smoking(609.16 ㎍/g_ct) is higher than nonsmoking(74.07 ㎍/g_ct), as Suwon and Asan smoking(416.72 ㎍/g_ct, 903.21 ㎍/g_ct) is higher than nonsmoking(72.72 ㎍/g_ct, 18.06 ㎍/g_ct), smoking group is higher than nonsmoking group in all areas revealed statistically significant correlation(p<0.01). In considering results synthetically, these study results are an aid to constructing environmental health science-side heavy metal management measure education programs for normal residents.

The study was intended to identify the effect of the rural development projects (comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects) on the quality of life in rural areas against local residents living in areas subject to those projects by means of structural equation modeling based on covariance structure analysis. The result indicated that perception factors affecting the quality of life for residents in rural areas by the projects included ‘improvement in spatial environment’, ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’, and ‘promotion of community activities.’ It was also suggested that ‘improvement in spatial environment’ and ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’ have significantly positive effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas while the former has relatively higher correlation. In comparison between comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects, it was analyzed that all the perception factors of the comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon have effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas indicating that comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon is more effective than regional unit comprehensive development projects in promoting the community activities. It means that existing rural development projects have been promoted to improve spatial environment rather than improving the quality of life for residents in rural areas. Thus, it is considered that the rural development projects in future should seek for a sense of community so that they can induce voluntary participation by local residents.

산림휴양과 숲체험을 위하여 진주시 근교에 위치한 월아산에 도시숲 프로그램을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대상지의 현황 및 역사 등 을 분석하였고, 지역주민을 대상으로 인식과 선호도에 관하여 설문조사 및 통계분석을 실시하였다. 현황분석에서 대상지는 관리부실로 낙 후된 숲 시설, 프로그램 등의 문제점을 파악할 수 있었고, 인접한 진주 혁신도시 인구증가로 인하여 휴게시설 증설이 필요할 것으로 예측되 었다. 설문분석에서 최근까지 월아산 이용목적은 운동 및 산책이며, 주로 가족단위로 자가용을 이용해 찾아오지만 이용빈도는 연중 1~2회 로 낮은 비율을 보였다. 현황 및 설문 분석을 종합하여 도시숲 프로그램 계획에서 3E라는 개념을 설정하였다. 3E는 Experimental(체험할 수 있는 공간), Everlasting(역사를 지닌 공간), Emblematic(상징적인 공간)로 구분하여 정의될 수 있다. 그 개념을 대상지에서 구현하기 위 해서 먼저 낙후된 산림욕장, 청곡사 주변부지, 장군대봉 등을 연결하는 통로를 정비하고 휴게시설을 조성하여 통행 및 휴식의 매력과 이용 편리를 개선하고, 그와 같은 조건에서 방문객을 유인할 수 있는 프로그램 계획하였다. 프로그램 계획의 주요한 특징은 세 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 첫째, 삼림욕장에 학습장을 조성하고 숲 교육 프로그램을 도입하고, 산책로를 건강 및 휴식을 위한 힐링 숲길로 조성하고 산책, 휴식, 자연학습 등의 숲 체험 프로그램을 도입한다. 둘째, 역사 및 문화자원인 청곡사 및 그 주변을 그 맥락에 부합하도록 정비하고 청곡사와 학영 지를 연결하는 학영지의 이름을 딴 학영로라는 역사 및 문화 산책로를 조성하여 역사 및 문화 스토리텔링 프로그램을 도입한다. 부가적으 로 청곡사와 휴게공간 사이의 연결성을 확보하여 기존의 산책 및 운동을 위한 통로에 역사, 휴식 등의 기능을 부여하여 잠재적으로 다양하 고 풍부한 프로그램을 수용할 수 있도록 한다. 마지막으로 상징적인 공간인 장군대봉 주변 부지에서 월아산 정상부로 월아산 이름의 유래 에서 모티브를 얻은 달을 형상화한 조형물을 랜드마크(landmark)로서 설치한다. 이를 통해 등산을 위해 산을 오를 뿐만 아니라 색다른 볼 거리를 즐기기 위해 산을 오르게 함으로써 더 많은 방문객을 유인할 수 있도록 한다.

Four requirements for the operating and supporting system for sustainable landscape management will be discussed through this paper. The requirements are based on multiple case studies on the structure and the process of development of three organizations that have been contributing to the sustainable rural landscape management in Japan since 1989. The first requirement is that the residents should recognize regional problems and voluntarily organize a group which can properly deal with the problems. Secondly, members of the organization should have a solid grasp of the goal of their activities (or founding principal of the organization) and share it among themselves. Founding principal should include the history of natural circulation system in the area, cultural features and a future plan in association with human resources. Thirdly, the administration of the organization should be separated from the founder, the residents. The administration, such as business promotion, becomes more effective when consigned to a separate entity, not to the residents. Lastly, the interaction among separate entities is crucial to promote diverse activities for the local landscape management. The administrators and experts need to cooperate to draw a precise conclusion regarding the way of interaction. These requirements drawn from the Japanese case studies should be localized to the Korean circumstances for further adoption.

본 연구는 부산광역시 거주민을 대상으로 원전주변 갑상선암 피해 소송 이후 원자력발전소 인근지역과 시내권에 거주하는 주민간의 인식 차이를 분석하여 국민들의 원자력에 대한 수용성 수준을 판별하고자 하였다. 설문조사는 총 551명(원전인근지역 269명, 시내권 282명)을 대상으로 대인면접을 통해 이루어졌으며, 분석 결과, 원전 주변 갑상선암 발병 피해 소송 사건을 계기로 국민들의 원자력에 대한 인식에 변화가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 원전인근지역 주민의 경우 사건 이후 원자력에 대한 불신과 불안감이 높아져, 원자력에 대한 부정적 인식이 강해졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 시내권 주민들은 원전 주변 갑상선암 발병 피해 소송 사건에도 불구하고 사건 이전보다 더욱 원자력 수용성에 긍정적인 인식을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 원자력 안전성과 신뢰성에 대한 인식은 부정적인 것으로 분석되어 원자력 수용성과 상반되는 이중적인 인식을 보였다. 이는 부산광역시 시내권 주민들의 경우 원자력의 편익, 필요성 등을 원칙적으로 인정하나 안전성에 대해서는 의심하는 것으로 판단되며 향후 원자력의 이용 확대를 지속적으로 추진하기 위해서는 국민의 올바른 이해와 신뢰 그리고 무엇보다 국민 또는 원전인근지역 주민들과 충분한 의사소통이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to develop survey tools for diagnosis of capacity levels in business promotion of rural residents when performing a rural development project of a regional unit. The cases of previous studies were analyzed to select community capacity indicators related to a rural development project. Five indicators were derived : social capital, consciousness of participation, community spirit, and leadership. Based on the five indicators, measurement items of various capacities were selected and 54 survey items were selected through evaluation of experts twice. The pilot tests were conducted and targeted at Jeonnam song ho-jung village and Gyeongnam Haegeumgang village to identify derived survey items. In addition, descriptive statistic analysis and reliability analysis were conducted. As a result, survey items were corrected by reducing 10 items of the total 54 items. This results showed that using this tool could help us understand capacity levels of rural residents.

This study analyzed the recognition of local residents surrounding farmland conversion area. The details of the survey on the residents included recognition of farmland conversion, the usage and reason of farmland conversion in the surrounding area, impacts of farmland conversion on the local region and agricultural production, and change in farmland prices. According to the analysis, the aging of the local residents progressed, and the ratio of farming population was high in the case study area. There were many warehouse facilities and small scale factories in terms of farmland conversion in the case study area, due to the surrounding area characteristics of industrial complex and relatively cheaper land prices. The farmland conversion affected the local area and residents both positively and negatively, and the surrounding area's land prices rose. The policy implications, based on the findings in this study, indicate the following need to be carried out: the consolidation of action on farmland pollution upon farmland conversion, review of planned collective conversion mode, and return of the land price hike profits to the affected local area and residents. Actually, farmland conversion should be conducted, after a comprehensive and systematic review, because it affects the local area and residents in a complex way.

This study of the living environment for rural residents to identify the relationship between perception and satisfaction are as. Jeollabukdo rural residents survey and SPSS 18.0 statistical program utilizes improvement of rural environment and living conditions were discussed. The main analysis results are summarized as follows. First, rural residents use the facility convenience and accessibility, economic burden, there was a tendency to recognize the important, good natural environment or their children / relatives for the distance was a low awareness. Second, the location and land a job for men, the women have a higher awareness of the use of public transportation inclination showed less than 50 age group showed higher awareness. Third, the rural living environment of residents' satisfaction with 3.544, and overall satisfaction with village life showed a high propensity men have higher satisfaction than women. Finally, the living environment for the perception and satisfaction with the relationship between residential stability and economic awareness of a higher living environment was found that high satisfaction. These findings further improve the rural environment, improve satisfaction in that you can plan the basis for an effective strategy can be. More sustainable in the future, including the analysis of various parameters in progress by being linked to policy measures that will be provided.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of "resident participatory education programs". This study methods was that applied this education programs to the residents of the fishing village after develop of education programs, and was surveyed to ninety five residents of these. As a result of the survey, "community attachment" and "sense of community" showed statistically significant differences from consciousness before and after education. Also, difference of residents consciousness according to the presence or absence of an education showed the same trend too. And, If in the presence or absence of the educational experience, residents consciousness was improved after the education programs. In other words, an education programs applied to in this study can be said to effective to that raise awareness of the residents. And this can be said to contribute in empowerment too.

The assessment of personal exposure is a critical component in population-based epidemiologic studies of air pollution. This study was conducted to apply and compare the four exposure estimation methods of individual-level to air pollution concentration in a cohort including 2,283 subjects in Gwangyang, Korea. Individual-level exposure of air pollution were estimated using multiple approaches, including average across all monitors, nearest monitor, and spatial interpolation by inverse distance weighting and kriging. The mean concentrations of PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, O3 by four exposure estimation methods were slightly different but not significantly different from each other. Cross-validation showed that kriging was more accurate than other exposure estimation methods because kriging has probably predicted individual exposure levels equivalent to residential locations after estimating the parameters of a model according to the spatial surface of air pollution concentration. These data support that spatial interpolation methods may provide better estimates than selecting the value from the nearest monitor and averaging across values from all monitors by reflecting spatial attributes of air pollution on personal level.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of heavy metal concentrations in the blood and urine of the general population. This research had been conducted from April to December 2008, studying 545 residents of Daejeon and Chungcheong Province. Through the concentrations of heavy metals(Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Mn) in the biota samples and questionnaires, the residents heavy metal exposure level and the influential factors according to personal characteristics or lifestyle were evaluated. As to the heavy metal concentration in the blood and urine of the comparing region, were As and Mn statistically significant(p<0.01, p<0.05). Blood lead and urinary mercury concentrations were higher in males than females. The heavy metal concentration for each age group increased blood mercury. The concentration of all heavy metals were higher in the drinkers than in the non-drinkers. Blood lead and mercury concentrations were higher in the smokers than in the non-smokers, but the urinary cadmium, arsenic and blood manganese was higher in the non-smokers than in the smokers. As to the blood lead and urinary cadmium concentration according to the food preference fish showed high concentration. To clarify the factors affecting the heavy metal concentration in biota among subjects multiple regression analysis was conducted. As a results, it turned out that as to lead content in blood, sex, age and smoking have influence on the subjects with explanatory adequacy of 14.0 %. These results demonstrated that the factors affected the concentrations of heavy metals in blood and urine. The results of this study could be used as the foundational data for setting the health risk assessment.

This research had been conducted from May to October 2007, studying 110 residents of G, Y, H industrial area in Jun-nam province. It is designed to understand the difference in levels of indoor, outdoor and personal exposure to VOCs(benzene, toluene, Ethylbenzene) and a health risk assessment was conducted to see if there was any fatal cause from carcinogenic or non - carcinogenic elements from a case group and a control group in all areas as well as each different area. In the case of benzene in the air, the geometric levels for the case group are indoor, outdoor and personal exposure; a higher than for the control group. As a results of the Monte - Carlo study about benzene, it shows that the case group’s carcinogenicity is higher than that of the control group and it also shows that, on the CTE, RME condition and Monte - Carlo analysis, all subjects are seen to exceed the carcinogenicity tolerance 10-6 of US EPA. In the case of toluene, ethylbenzene on the CTE, RME condition and Monte - Carlo analysis, these do not exceed the non - carcinogenic standard of 1, but toluene in RME condition for both groups’ personal exposure and the indoor and personal exposure of ethylbenzene in Monte - Carlo show that these seem to exceed the standard.

This study analyzed the concentration of the heavy metals(Cd, Hg, iAs) of urine(n=576) from May, 2007 to Oct 2007. The subject was residents in G, Y, H industrial area, Jeollanam-do, in which exposure due to the adjacency of the industrial complex. As to the heavy metal concentration in the urine of the residents in the whole exposed region and the comparing region, the content of cadmium, mercury, and inorganic arsenic in the exposed region group were 1.23, 1.85, and 8.80 μg/g_ct respectively, and those of the comparing region group were 1.87, 2.00, and 8.93 μg/g_ct respectively, which indicates that the concentration of the comparing group was higher than that of the exposed group. The heavy metal concentration for each age group increased in proportion to age except those under 10 for some substances(p<0.01). As to geometric mean concentration cadmium and inorganic arsenic in urine according to the smoking history of the subject, the concentration of the smoking group and the non-smoking group were 1.65 μg/g_ct and 9.13 μg/g_ct respectively, while those of the non-smoking group were 1.47 μg/g_ct and 8.91 μg/g_ct respectively, which indicates that the former is higher than the latter. As to the inorganic arsenic concentration in urine according to the food preference, in order of vegetable, fish, and meat showed high concentration (p<0.01). To clarify the factors affecting the heavy metal concentration in urine among the subjects, the multiple regression analysis was conducted. As a result, it turned out that as to cadmium content in urine, gender, age, drinking, and smoking have influence on the subjects, with explanatory adequacy of 37.5 %.

Exposure to lead, particularly at chronic low-dose levels, is still a major public health concern. The present study is aimed to evaluate the blood lead levels in populations resident in some abandoned mine areas of Chungbuk, Korea. Eight hundreds and sixty-six subjects who reside in abandoned mine area located in Chungbuk, Korea, were enrolled this study. We evaluated the blood lead level according to the age, gender, and working history in mines. For statistical analysis, SPSS ver 12.0 was used. The geometric mean blood lead levels was 2.93 ㎍/ℓ and nobody showed levels over the guidelines of WHO. Ex-smokers and current-smokers showed significantly higher blood lead levels compared to that of non-smokers. The blood lead levels in individuals with a history of working in a mine was higher than those in individuals without such histories. The populations resident in some Chungbuk abadoned mine area showed low levels of lead in blood. This suggest that lead poisoning might not be induced by abandoned mine in Chungbuk, Korea.

복지 발전과 비례로 장애인에 대한 인식의 변화가 함께 변하기보다는 장애인 시설에 대한 님비현상이 심하게 됨으로 시설에서 지역주민들과의 교류가 필요하지만 잘 이루어지지 않는 실정이다. 이와 함께 장애인은 지역사회에서 떨어져서 시설에서만 생활하다보니 사회적인 능력이 약하고 여러 가지 문제 행동이 나타났다. 이에 일반인과 장애인이 함께 통합 할 수 있는 원예치료 프로그램을 통해서 장애인에게는 행동적 변화와 대인관계능력의 향상을 일반인에게는 자아존중감과 시설에 대한 인식도에 대한 변화를 주고자 하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 원예치료를 일반인과 지적장애인이 함께 함으로 일반인과 장애인에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 I시의 S시설 지적 장애인 8명과 지역주민 8명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 실시한 결과 생활에서는 장애인과 사회심리정서적 행동과 대인관계 능력이 향상되는 것을 볼 수 있었고 일반인 자아존중감과 장애 시설에 대한 인식도가 향상된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 지적장애인에게 원예치료를 실시한 연구와 유사하며 일반인에게도 실시한 연구와도 비슷한 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 이는 원예치료가 장애인과 일반이 함께 원예치료를 즐기고 이를 반복적으로 하면서 성취감을 느끼게 하기 때문이다. 장애시설에서 단순히 지역주민에게 도움을 받는 것만이 아니라 함께 나누고 즐길 수 있는 프로그램을 실시 함으로 시설에 대한 부정적인 인식을 줄이고 장애인은 지역주민 함께 하면서 삶이 더 윤택할 수 있도록 할 수 있는 것을 알아보았다. 추후에 기간을 길게 하고 다양한 계층과 교류할 수 있는 원예치료 프로그램을 다양화 하며 이에 대한 개발이 필요하다고 생각된다.
