In 2018 the South Korean Government introduced the Resource Circulation Act that included a landfill levy (tax) in order to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill sites and to promote recycling. The objective of this study is to examine the negative and positive effects of landfill tax on national waste management by reviewing case studies from the European Union (EU). In December 2015, the European Commission proposed the Circular Economy Package that sets ambitious recycling rates of 65% and a maximum 10% landfill rate for municipal wastes by 2030, and the European Commission decided that the landfill tax could help move towards these aims. Indeed since the late 1990s, most of the countries in the European Union have introduced landfill taxes. Landfill rates of these countries showed a tendency to decrease gradually. Currently the landfill rates for the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Norway are less than 5%, and those for the UK, France and Italy have fallen below 30%. However, the landfill tax also had negative effects. In the case of the Netherlands, too little waste was sent to landfills, and private companies can no longer profit. Consequently the companies will not be able to fulfil their financial obligations for closure and aftercare. Thus, based on the results of this study, it is necessary to further consider the landfill levy in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the thickness of concrete slabs using the impact echo method based on the stress waves, which is one of the nondestructive test method, to evaluate the safety and construction conditions of concrete slabs. If the correlation and reliability of the impact echo method and the slab thickness are secured, it can be considered that the quality control of the concrete slab is possible in existing structures and structures under construction.

One of the indicators evaluate the bridge load bearing capacity is the peak impact factor. The peak impact factor is related to vehicle types and speeds and frequency of the bridges. Among the parameters, the vehicle types such as DB-24 and standard vehicle load presented in the current specification have different load distribution and different load axles space. Considering these features, in the present study, the variation of the peak impact factor according to each vehicle type is investigated and compared.

In this study, we performed a series of experimental studies on the effect of tie-bars and steel-plate strength on the impact resistance of SC walls. A total of 8 impact tests were planned to investigate the impact resistance performance of SC walls at the extreme performance testing center of Seoul National University in Korea. The specimens were designed with the main test parameters of yield strength of steel plate and tie-bars. The results from this study will be used to improve and optimize the AISC N690 design equation for SC walls.

This paper has developed a Derailment Containment Provision(DCP) between rails to prevent derailed accident of the train. And developed DCP under impact loading was analytically evaluated using LS-Dyna. This paper was simulated using Mat_72R3 and Mat_CSCM for concrete material. To modify the developed DCP, this paper was suggested suitable and reasonable analytical concrete material model.

A detailed guideline was prepared to explain the contents of underground safety management guideline and to prevent confusion in the initial implementation of the law to underground safety impact assessment and underground safety inspection subjects. "Special Law on Underground Safety Management", which was created to prevent the safety of the people from frequent occurrences due to frequent occurrence of subsidence, has been systematically settled in the course of design, construction and maintenance of underground facilities. When it works smoothly, it can be said that national security is guaranteed.

Climate change has caused localized torrential rainfalls and typhoons to occur more frequently, increasing damages to both life and property. In particular, debris flows have brought damages not only in mountainous areas but also in urban centers. Many studies have been carried out with the rising concern on debris flows. These studies applied different debris flow models and conduct analyses on behaviors of debris flow and on forecasting. Given this, however, the subject of the impact force of debris flows should also be taken into consideration. Thus, this study applied RAMMS and FLO-2D, two models for the numerical analysis of debris flows used to analyze impact force. Here, the selected study areas are Umyeonsan Mountain in Seoul and Majeoksan Mountain in Chuncheon, where damages on debris flows were caused by the localized heavy rains in 2011. To identify a debris flow–triggering rainfall, we used and applied rainfalls calculated at different frequencies (30-year, 50-year, 100-year, 200-year). This study calculated and compared impact forces produced by the two models at any point in the study areas. Identifying impact forces based on the comparison of the two models will be useful in selecting materials and equipment appropriate when installing facilities in mountainous regions.

본 연구에서는 금강유역(9,645.5 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)을 이용하여 HadGEM3-RA RCP 4.5와 8.5 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 미래 기간(2020s: 2010~2039, 2050s: 2040~2069 ,2080s: 2070~2099 )의 지하수위 변화를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 SWAT 모형의 검․ 보정은 11년(2005~2015)동안의 유역내 2개 댐지점(대청댐, 용담댐)의 일별 유입량 및 저수량, 5개 관정지점(JSJS, OCCS, BEMR, CASS, BYBY)의 일단위 지하수위 관측자료, 3년 5개월(2012년 8월~2015년 12월) 동안의 3개 보지점(세종보, 공주보, 백제보)의 일별 유입량 및 저수량 자료를 이용하였다. 2개 댐의 유입량 및 저수량 검보정 결과, Nash-Sutcliffe 모델효율(NSE)은 각각 0.57~0.67, 0.87~0.94, 결정계수(R2)는 각각 0.69~0.73, 0.63~0.73의 범위를 보였으며, 3개 보의 유입량 및 저수량의 NSE는 각각 0.68~0.70, 0.94~0.99, R2는 각각 0.83~0.86, 0.48~0.61로 검보정 되었다. 5개 지점의 지하수위에 대한 R2는 0.53~0.61이었다. 유역 전체의 미래 기온은 기준년도(1976~2005)대비 2080s RCP 8.5 시나리오에서 최고 4.3°C 상승하고 강수량은 6.9% 증가하였으며, 미래 지하수위는 5개 지하수위 관측지점 중 금강 상류 3개 지점(JSJS, OCCS, BEMR)에서 각각 –13.0 cm, -5.0 cm, -9.0 cm 감소하였고, 금강 하류 2개 지점(CASS, BYBY)에서는 각각 +3.0 cm, +1.0 증가하였다. 미래 지하수위는 유역 내 강수량의 계절별 공간적 편차에 따른 지하수 충전량의 차이에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, to evaluate the transboundary movement of magnetite waste, the treatment causing possible oxidation and reduction to the highly toxic Cr (VI), as well as other chromium ions must be considered. In this study, we tried to remove chromium using magnetite. The efficiency of chromium removal using magnetite, mixing time, mixing speed, and temperature was evaluated through a jar test. In case of magnetite, the total chromium and hexavalent chromium concentration were rapidly decreased to 0.7 g and 0.35 g, respectively. For mixing speed, the removal efficiency of total chromium was rapidly increased to 150 rpm, but that of hexavalent chromium was almost unchanged. For reaction time, the chromium concentration was almost identical. At 70℃, the removal efficiency of total and hexavalent chromium was 97.2% and 98.8%, respectively; therefore, application of magnetite to actual industrial sites where high-temperature industrial wastewater is generated can be considered.

본 연구의 목적은 안성천 상류 공도유역(366.5km²)을 대상으로 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 미래 기후변화 평가에 있어, 미래의 토지이용변화를 동시에 고려하면 수문학적 거동에 얼마나 영향을 주는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 미래기후변화 시나리오는 HadGEM3-RA의 RCP 4.5와 8.5 시나리오를 이용하여 2030s (2020-2039)과 2050s (2040-2059) 기간으로 나누어 적용하였으며, 토지이용변화는 도시성장 시나리오에 따른 회귀모형 기반의 CLUE-s 모델을 이용하였다. 기준년(1976-2005) 대비 미래 강수량은 RCP 4.5에서 2030s에 최대 5.7%의 감소, 2050s에는 최대 18.5% 증가하였고, 미래 기온은 2030s RCP 4.5에서 최대 1.8°C, 2050s RCP 8.5에서 최대 2.6°C 증가하였다. 미래 토지이용은 2050년 도시지역이 58.6% (29.0 km²에서 46.0 km²) 증가하는 것으로 예측되었다. SWAT 수문 검보정은 14년(2002-2015) 동안의 공도관측소 일유량 자료를 이용하였으며, 저유량 모델효율의 향상을 위하여 2014-2015년 연속 가뭄년을 대상으로 보정을 실시한 결과, 하천유량(Q)과 1/Q을 대상으로Nash-Sutcliffe 모델효율은 각각 0.86과 0.76이었다. 미래 기후변화 시나리오만을 적용한 결과, 하천유출량이 2030s RCP 4.5에서 최대 24.2% 감소하다가 2050s RCP 4.5에서 최대 10.9% 증가하는 변화를 보여주었다. 한편, 기후변화와 더불어 미래의 토지이용변화를 함께 고려한 경우는 하천유출량이 2030s RCP 4.5에서 최대 14.9% 감소, 2050s RCP 4.5에서 최대 19.5% 증가하는 변화를 보여주어, 미래 기후변화에 따른 유역의 수문평가 시, 도시성장이 기대되는 유역 등 미래의 토지이용변화가 클 가능성이 있는 유역에 대해서는 토지이용변화 요소를 고려할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

The interest rate is always treated as the price of capital. It plays a most significant role in a country’s capital management and economic development, which poses a vital effect on capital market and monetary market. Therein, the commercial bank that is the important participants in the financial markets will be affected by the reform of interest rate liberalization. Before that, the deposits and loans rate are determined by the People’s Bank of China. Therefore, the People’s Bank of China has the unique authority to decide the magnitude of deposits and loans rate. Namely, the profitability of commercial Banks is denominated by the People’s Bank of China. As the interest rate liberalization, the profitability of commercial Banks will be inevitably impacted by it. Due to this, this paper tries to explore the operating mechanism between interest rate liberalization and profitability of commercial Banks. additionally, the total return to asset that represents the profitability of commercial banks; the net interest spread is treated as a measurement of interest rate liberalization. both are regarded as dependent variables. Meanwhile, the non-interest income or gross revenues and impaired loans or gross loans are treated as independent variables. In order to make the relation between them more clear, the sixteen representative listed commercial banks are divided into three categories (state-owned commercial banks, share-holding commercial banks and city-owned commercial banks) to conduct an empirical analysis. The findings indicate that 1% decrease in the net interest spread will result in 0.131% decrease in the profitability of state-owned in commercial banks, 0.399% decrease in the profitability of city-owned commercial banks and 0.201% decrease in the profitability of share-holding commercial banks. If the sixteen representative listed commercial banks are treated as a whole, 1% decrease in the net interest spread will lead to 0.246% in the profitability of all commercial banks.

본 연구에서는 다중 기후모델에 의한 미래 기후자료를 기반으로 SWAT-K 유역모형을 적용하여, 제주도 지역의 미래 기후변화에 따른 수자원 영향을 평가하였다. 기후모델에 따른 미래 전망자료의 불확실성을 고려하여 9개의 GCM 모델의 기후자료를 미래기간(2010~2099년)에 대한 SWAT-K 모형의 기상자료로 적용하였다. 과거(1992~2013년) 및 미래기간에 대한 연도별 수문변화를 분석한 결과 강수량, 유출량, 증발산량, 함양량 모두 증가하는 추세로 나타났다. 과거기간에 비해 유출량의 변화가 가장 크게 나타났으며(최대 50% 증가), 증발산량은 상대적으로 작게 나타났다(최대 11% 증가). 월별로는 8월과 9월의 강수량 증가에 따라 유출량과 함양량도 크게 증가하는 반면, 동일기간에 대한 증발산량은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 1월과 12월은 반대의 경향이 나타났다. 미래의 물수지 변화를 분석한 결과 강수량 대비 유출량, 증발산량, 함양량의 비율은 변화가 크지 않으나, 과거와 비교했을 때 RCP 8.5 시나리오에서 유출량 비율은 최대 4.3% 증가하는 반면, 증발산량 비율은 최대 3.5% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 타 연구와 본 연구에서 도출한 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 현재 제시되고 있는 기후변화 시나리오 가정 하에서는 미래로 갈수록 점차 강수량과 유출량이 증가할 것이고 특히 여름철 강수량 및 유출량의 증가가 예상된다. 이로 인해 제주도 지역의 함양량도 함께 증가할 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 다만, 본 연구는 장기적인 측면에서 자연적인 기후변화로 인한 영향을 분석한 것이며, 추가적으로 단기적인 수재해 대응을 위한 홍수와 가뭄관리, 인위적인 용수수급 관리 등에 대한 종합적인 분석을 통해 제주도 수자원의 지속가능한 이용을 위한 대응방안이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In this study, we investigated the impact of different initial data on atmospheric modeling results using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Four WRF simulations were conducted with different initialization in March 2015, which showed the highest monthly mean PM10 concentration in the recent ten years (2006-2015). The results of WRF simulations using NCEP-FNL and ERA-Interim were compared with observed surface temperature and wind speed data, and the difference of grid nudging effect on WRF simulation between the two data were also analyzed. The FNL simulation showed better accuracy in the simulated temperature and wind speed than the Interim simulation, and the difference was clear in the coastal area. The grid nudging effect on the Interim simulation was larger than that of the FNL simulation. Despite of the higher spatial resolution of ERA-Interim data compared to NCEP-FNL data, the Interim simulation showed slightly worse accuracy than those of the FNL simulation. It was due to uncertainties associated with the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) field in the ERA-Interim data. The results from the Interim simulation with different SST data showed significantly improved accuracy than the standard Interim simulation. It means that the SST field in the ERA-Interim data need to be optimized for the better WRF simulation. In conclusion, although the WRF simulation with ERA-Interim data does not show reasonable accuracy compared to those with NCEP-FNL data, it would be able to be Improved by optimizing the SST variable.

Purpose – This study aimed to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial temperament (ET) such as innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness in entrepreneur’s lifetime before start-up and the effect of social capital (SC) such as network ties and trustworthiness on entrepreneurial intention. Research design, data, and methodology - We examined the components of ET (innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness) and components of SC (network ties and trustworthiness) through existing prior research and investigated the factors that affected entrepreneurial intention. The first hypothesis of this study was that entrepreneurial temperament will have a significant impact on network ties of social capital, and the second hypothesis assumed that entrepreneurial temperament will have a significant effect on the trustworthiness of social capital. Finally, the second hypothesis assumed that social capital will have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions. We collected 175 data using questionnaires for people who have not yet started a start-up. And we used the Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate the collected data and to test the research model by the two step research procedure. Results – As a result, the innovativeness and proactiveness of ET have a significant effect on network ties and trustworthiness of SC, but the effect of risk-taking on risk-taking of SC is not significant. On the other hand, network ties and network ties of SC was revealed a significant effect on the EI. Conclusions - The implications of this article could be observed as mentioned in this paper. First, we found that entrepreneurial innovativeness and proactiveness are helpful in constructing SCs, but not risk-taking. These results demonstrated that ET of entrepreneurs is important factor in the formation of social capital. Second, the SC that an entrepreneur built before the start-up has a meaning for EI. In conclusion, ET was affected partially to EI mediated SC. It is academic in that ET and SC are independent from each other and have a mediating role between ET and EI, unlike those directly affecting EI. Although some important implications were found in this study, this study had some limitations and we hope that future research will be complemented.

국제연합식량농업기구(FAO)는 2050년, 전 세계 인구 수가 약 90억에 이를 것으로 예측하였다. 이와 같은 인구 증가는 여러 식량 및 환경 문제들을 야기할 수 있다. 또한 식량 및 에너지원 생산과정에서 자연계에 과잉으로 배출되는 질소, 인은 토양 산성화 및 부영양화 등의 환경문제를 유발할 수 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 FAO에서는 ‘곤충’을 자원(식･약품, 사료, 비료 등)으로 활용하는 것을 제시하였다. 현재 국내 연구는 곤충의 이용가능성 여부 및 활용기술개발 위주의 연구에 치중되어있어 곤충활용에 따른 환경성 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 식용곤충으로 인정받은 곤충 6종 중 갈색거저리와 벼메뚜기를 선정하여 곤충의 활용방안에 따른 환경성 평가를 진행하였다. 갈색거저리는 최근 식량자원으로써 각광받고 있는 종이며 번데기까지 사용할 수 있는 완전변태 곤충이다. 벼메뚜기는 예로부터 식품으로 이용된 친숙한 종이며 대표적인 불완전변태 곤충이다. 본 연구의 목적은 곤충 분류(번데기의 유무)에 따른 활용방안의 환경성을 비교･평가하고 이를 기존 단백질원과 비교하는 것이다. 갈색거저리와 벼메뚜기의 환경성 평가는 질소, 인 흐름분석 및 전과정평가를 사용하였다. 이는 인간이 곤충을 단백질원으로 섭취하였을 경우와 곤충 사료로 키운 가축을 섭취하였을 경우로 나누어 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 물질흐름의 각 단계를 비료, 작물, 곤충, 가축, 사람으로 나누어 유입, 유출되는 질소와 인의 양을 산정하고 이에 따른 질소, 인 이용효율을 산정하였다. 또한 갈색거저리와 벼메뚜기 사육 시 발생하는 온실가스 량을 기존의 단백질원 생산과 비교 하였다.연구 결과 갈색거저리가 기존 단백질원인 한우와 벼메뚜기보다 질소, 인이용효율이 높았으며 온실가스 발생량이 적었다. 또한 갈색거저리는 번데기까지 사료로써 이용이 가능하기 때문에 활용범위가 넓을 것이라 생각한다.

India is the top recipient of workers’ remittance flows; recent data indicate that the Remittances/GDP ratio has increased from 2.7% in 2000 to 3.36% in 2015. We apply a consumption behavior model, based on the “permanent income hypothesis”, to estimate the consumption augmentation and the stability impact for the period of 1989-2014. The independent variables are: (i) real per capita income (exclusive of remittances) is the measure of “permanent income”, (ii) remittances is the measure of “transitory income”, and (iii) real interest rate as the indicator of consumers’ ability for intertemporal consumption. The economic ramifications are important since current global risk factors could decrease flows in the future. The results indicate the significance of all three variables; there are: (i) evidence of significant consumption augmentation, (ii) consumption responds higher to remittances than to real income, the remittance elasticity is 0.571 and the income elasticity is 0.31, and (iii) evidence of pro-cyclical effect. The VAR model indicates some linkages and causality in the series that result in small response to the shocks. Policies to increase or stabilize remittance flows and to leverage remittances for economic development are important.

This study suggests a general process of analyzing the mooring and cargo handling limit waves, which is an incident to the new energy port under long wave agitation. To reduce damages of ships and harbor structures due to strong wave responses, it is necessary to predict the change of wave field in the mooring berth to make the proper decision by dock master. The berthing area at a new LNG port in the east coast of Korea in this study is frequently affected by oscillations from waves of 8.5~13s periods in the wintertime. The long period waves give difficulties on port operation by lowering the annual berthing ratio. It needs to find the event waves from the real time offshore wave records, which cause over the mooring limits. For that purpose, the wave records from field measurement and offshore wave buoy were analyzed. From numerical simulation, the response characteristics of long period waves in the berthing area were deduced with or without breakwater expansion plan, analyzing the offshore field wave data collected for two years. Some event wave cases caused over the cargo handling and mooring limits as per the standard Korean port design guideline, and those were used for the decision of port operation by dock master, comparing with the real time offshore wave observations.

Shortage of trained seafarers is an issue, which many ship-owners are facing and, according to recent studies, the shortfall of both officers and rating will worsen in the next few years. The key role of seafarers is of fundamental importance in international trade, as they are the ones responsible for safely manning and operating ships. In developing countries, they also perform a strategic aspect in terms of contribution to GDP, mainly by earning foreign currency and increasing national consumption of goods and services. Myanmar is still considered a developing country with an economy, which has only recently started growing steady. It is also one of the major seafarers supplying nations and the contribution, which seafarers have on the national GDP may be particularly significant in comparison to other countries. This study aims at investigating seafarers’ impact towards the Myanmar national economy. The paper describes the status of Myanmar seafarers, and the seafarers’ current and forecasted impact towards the Myanmar economy through a regression model. The study concludes with recommendations to make Myanmar seafarers more competitive internationally and increase their economic contribution nationally.
