다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the 21th century in front of our very own eyes, we are seriously involved in environmental danger. The hi-tech being developed rapidly by manufacturers, it is a fact that environmental needs have been avoided. there is no doubt that environment and technology are both important to man-kind, but the market is overflooding of products just to sell, forgetting the basic essence of the pro-duct itself. Now the market is changing, the manufactures are trying to extend the product life cy-cle, and consumers are trying to buy their products reasonably.. Naturally 'LONG LIFE DESIGN' has been an issue since the 90's. Products used in our present life are made to satisfy our requi-rements for a short term and then thrown away to an uncyclable trash. And it is becoming a se-rious cause of environmental destruction. The concept was based on these problems, and we have tried to design products which will require both environment and mankind.
