Abstract

This study focused on defining concepts such as biology push (biology-based biomimicry) and technology pull (technology problem-based biomimicry) in the multidisciplinary field of ecological imitation and analyzing the status of related research and technology at the domestic and international levels. From an ecological point of view, biomimicry is defined as ecological mimicry in which ideas obtained through classification and investigation of principles of biology and ecology are applied to the concepts of engineering and technology. We also defined the biology push as the ecological imitation based on biological characteristics starting from an ecological viewpoint and technology pull as the ecological imitation based on technical problems starting from technical needs. Although biomimicry studies often focus on the technology development by finding stable and eco-friendly source materials from biological and ecological characteristics, we wanted to emphasize the unlimited potential of research of biomimicry that can begin with an idea based on biological and ecological characteristics. This study presents the need to develop the research and technology further based on the biological and ecological viewpoints that can contribute to future sustainable development.

본 연구에서는 생태학적 관점에서 biomimicry를 생태모방으로 정의하며, 생태모방에 대해 다학적 분야에서 정의되는 개념들을 비교하였다. 생태모방은 생물 생태특성에 대한 분류 및 조사 원리분석을 통해 얻어진 정보와 아이디어를 공학 및 기술 분야에 응용이 되는 개념으로 정리하였다. 또한 생물학, 생태학 및 공학적 관점에서 생태모방 연구와 기술개발을 진행하는 Biology Push(생물특성기반 생태모방)와 Technology Pull(기술문제기반 생태모방)방법을 비교하며, Biology Push를 생태학적 관점에서 시작하는 '생물특성기반 생태모방', Technology Pull을 기술필요에서 시작하는 '기술문제기반 생태모방'으로 정의하였다. 생태모방 연구동향을 살펴보면 안정적이고 친환경적인 원천 재료를 생물 생태 특성에서 찾아 기술개발에 초점이 맞춰진 사례가 대부분이나, 앞으로 생태모방 연구주제가 생물 생태 특성에서 비롯된 아이디어에서 착안되어 시작될 수 있는 연구분야의 잠재력에 대한 무한성을 시사하고자 한다. 향후 지속가능한 발전에 기여할 수 있는 생물생태학적 기반에 근거한 더 많은 연구와 기술개발이 필요함을 제시하고 있다.
