Abstract
The amount of environmental radiation was measured in the indoor(basement) and outdoor(rooftop) of the two buildings of the University (the old building and the new building) in Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province. Measuring the environmental radiation dose from the first week of April 2013 to last week of March 2014, Twice a week, one year. The measured results were as follows. 1. The average annual environmental radiation of the two buildings were $0.169727{\mu}Sv/hr$. The lowest value was $0.0760{\mu}Sv/hr$ whereas the highest value was $0.3000{\mu}Sv/hr$. 2. The amount of environmental radiation dose was $0.176373999{\mu}Sv/hr$ in the old building and the amount of environmental radiation dose was $0.163052885{\mu}Sv/hr$ in the new building. The old building environmental radiation dose was higher then the new building. 3. The month of the lowest amount of environmental radiation dose in a year was November resulting in $0.152844{\mu}Sv/hr$ whereas May was found the month of the highest amount of environmental radiation dose showing with $0.197222{\mu}Sv/hr$. 4. The amount of environmental radiation dose in the indoor(basement) was $0.164649{\mu}Sv/hr$ and the amount of environmental radiation dose of the outdoor(rooftop) was $0.174779{\mu}Sv/hr$. And the outdoor(rooftop) was higher than the indoor(basement). 5. Depending on seasonal, the lowest amount of environmental radiation dose was in winter with $0.1632{\mu}Sv/hr$ while spring was the season with the highest amount of environmental radiation dose with $0.183846{\mu}Sv/hr$. The measured amount was high in the order of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
