The objective of this study was to identify ecological environment elements that may be introduced in creating urban apartment complexes and to suggest possible options on how to introduce them. To this end, a questionnaire survey has been mailed to 120 residents-to-be of apartment complexes to suggest ecological environment elements and techniques preferred by residents-to-be and, accordingly, they have been applied to study areas. The detailed results of this study are as follows. (1) Introduction of diverse plant species instead of plantation using grasses only and considering the height and density of planting adequately appeared effective in enhancing ecological diversity as well as visual preference. (2) Creation of eco-ponds using rainwater was one of the most desirable options in urban apartment residential complexes. Also, eco-ponds can increase visual preference when they are arranged through adequate vegetation management. (3) The results showed that when creating habitats for such as insects using porous space, it is desirable to consider a visual aspect first and then to create habitats for various insects. When the results of this study are actually applied to a real study area, it will be able to increase ecological diversity in urban apartment complexes as well as raising visual preference. Accordingly, it should be introduced proactively in planning, designing, and creating real apartment complexes.

Enormous apartment complexes in urban areas, temporary inversion state and heat island effect occur due to the strong sunshine and weak wind speeds which hinders the dispersion of air pollutants that are emitted from neighboring areas of apartment complexes. In this study, analysis were conducted by using the Fluent code based on the CFD(Computation Fluid Dynamics), including building layout, material, building height from the ground surface, the heat, analysis of flow field in the apartment complex. It was estimated that the temporal radiation inversion phenomenon during the daytime, which was caused by the weak wind speed and higher temperatures in the upper level, contributed to the stagnation of the air pollutants in the lower layer of the apartment complex.

The cost of the construction and management of new apartment buildings was evaluated using a monetary analysis and an emergy concept to provide a new perspective regarding the housing policy of Korea. The systems of analyses were typical apartment buildings with an area of 76.03㎡ per household in Korea built on the same size of land area. Three apartment buildings with different stories were evaluated and compared; 5-story, 15-story, and 20-story apartment buildings. The durable years of those apartments were assumed to be 40 years. The total cost of the construction and management of an apartment building was divided into three categories of construction, land purchase, and management. A 20-story apartment showed the highest cost and a 15-story apartment the lowest in the monetary cost analysis. In contrast, the emergy evaluation revealed a different pattern in the cost of construction and management, the cost increasing from a 5-story apartment to a 20-story one. This means that the higher the apartment constructed, the greater the cost in terms of real wealth. This result suggests that new evaluation methodologies like the emergy analysis should be used together with the monetary analysis to provide better insights on the national housing policy.

우리 정서와 친숙한 우수한 자생식물 중 아파트 베란다 화단에 활용 가능한 초종선발을 목적으로 화분형으로 식재하여 생육과 관상정도를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 산호수, 애란, 바위취, 풍란은 베란다 용기화단에 식재 시 생육이 안정되고 관상가치가 높아 실내식물로 이용하기 적합한 식물로 판단되었다. 바위솔, 좀비비추, 무늬둥굴레, 나도풍란, 우산나물은 생육이 조금 불안정하였으나 베란다 화단용 식물로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단되었으며, 동의나물은 생육이 불량하여 실내식물로 이용하기에는 부적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

생활수준 향상과 식생활 변화로 인하여 생활용수 소비량이 증가함에 따라 일상생활에서 배출되는 오수의 양도 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 아파트 단지내 오수정화시설 및 하수처리장의 설계를 위해서는 먼저 인구에 근거한 오수량의 발생원단위를 알아야 한다. 이러한 자료는 하수처리의 운전이나 수질관리 계획 수립을 위해서도 꼭 필요한 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주택공사의 123개 관리소에 2년간의 급수량을 취합하여 거주인구에 따른 급수량을 분석하였고 그 중에 수도권

The objective of this study was to examine the transient response to hydraulic shocks in an inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor(IFBBR) for the treatment of apartment sewage. The hydraulic shock experiments, when the system were reached at steady state with each HRT 12, 7, and 4hr, were conducted by changing twice HRT per day during 3days. The SCOD, SS, DO, and pH of the effluent stream were increased with hydraulic shock, but easily recovered to the steady state of pre-hydraulic shock condition. In spite of hydraulic shock, there were not much variation of biomass concentration, biofilm thickness, and biofilm dry density.

Recycling is receiving increasing social attention today as our nation begins to grapple with the significant problems caused by huge amount of municipal solid waste. The topic of recycling is not simple but extremely complicated. This study attempts to provide basic data and policy options for expanding and improving separated collection and recycling in public residential areas, through three case study of apartment housing areas in Taegu Metropolitan City. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. For the significant period of time, all three case areas had in common the extreme difficulty in establishing and operating the system of connecting public participation, collection and storage, transportation, and actual recycling of materials because of a variety of problems involved in this process. Both amounts of and prices for collected materials fluctuated considerably over time mainly due to monthly changes in recyclable home materials and the dynamic nature of recycling markets. Public questionnaire survey revealed the very high level of participation in separated collection, not only because almost all respondents well understood the necessity and importance of recycling, but because they also knew how to do separated collection. But overall activities were rated low and most respondents suggested the enlargement of public participation, the improvement of collection and storage facilities, and collection transportation networks. In particular, most respondents had little experience of using recycled products and used mainly reproduced soap and bathroom tissue. Furthermore, they were considerably unsatisfied with low variety and quality of recycled products, their high prices and low availability in the market. Finally potential policy options and activities for improving separated collection and recycling are suggested.
