After 1990s, the influence of construction industry has been decreased on national economy and construction business condition has been changed on economic recession and boom repeatedly. Larger fluctuation of business condition makes a forecast of it to be more difficult. Uncertainty in business prediction results in damages on construction companies and stakeholders. Therefore, study on forecasting a construction business is very important. This study suggests the Construction Industry Production Index(CIPI) to predict a construction business in consider of temperature effects. The results show that construction business is much influenced by temperature effects certainly and GDP. With the CBFM, this study examines CIPI for 2013 with two scenarios: 1)with GDP growth rate of 3.5% 2)with GDP growth rate of 2.4%. Thus, CIPI would be used as the economic state index to display the construction business conditions. Also, CIPI will be utilized as basic methodology in the impact of climate change in the construction industry.

Korea's population change trend is the aging and feminization as Reduction in mortality, average life extension. and is further increased Reduction of birth rate and aging population. if Our country concluded FTA(Free Trade Agreement) with the United States, Europe and China etc. labor-intensive industries will be the decline. Then, the construction workers' jobs are continually reduced. This is critical to the nation's economic, social and environmental influences due to Shortage of construction workforce and increasing labor costs. Eventually this is a major factor in reduced construction productivity. Therefore, this study is presented as a construction productivity development prospects on the value-added analysis per Labour productivity employee from Construction market trends, industry-specific productivity index, industry trends Employed, age tiered workforce trends, women's workforce trends, labor time trend, foreign workers, workforce trends, analysis of trends in construction contract, awarded by Company Size trends, construction management analysis index.

The aim of this paper is to scrutinize the relation between Business Survey Index and Industrial Production Index in construction industry, stated in another way, the relation between CEO's expectations of future business status and real business activity in construction industry. Previous papers on this research area have been examined the relation between released BSI and released IPI. However, this paper focuses 'the relation between released BSI and the long-run component of IPI' and 'the relation between released BSI and the short-run component of IPI'. The first step is to decompose released IPI by unobserved component model. The long-run component of IPI is set up as a random walk process. And short-run component is set up as a stationary AR(1) process. The findings are as follows. First, released BSI Granger causes unidirectionally released IPI. Second, there exists one-way Granger causality from released BSI to long-run component of IPI. Third, Granger causality does not exist between released BSI and 'short-run component of IPI'. BSI increases IPI in the second or third month. These findings of this paper mean that CEO's expectations may influence industrial production in construction industry.

This research delves into the escalating concerns of accidents and fatalities in the construction industry over the recent five-year period, focusing on the development of a Safety Perception Model to augment safety measures. Given the rising percentage of elderly workers and the concurrent drop in productivity within the sector, there is a pronounced need for leveraging Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to bolster safety protocols. The study comprises an in-depth analysis of statistical data regarding construction-related fatalities, aiming to shed light on prevailing safety challenges. Central to this investigation is the formulation of a Safety Perception Model tailored for small-scale construction projects. This model facilitates the quantification of safety risks by evaluating safety grades across construction sites. Utilizing the DWM1000 module, among an array of wireless communication technologies, the model enables the real-time tracking of worker locations and the assessment of safety levels on-site. Furthermore, the deployment of a safety management system allows for the evaluation of risk levels associated with individual workers. Aggregating these data points, the Safety Climate Index(SCLI) is calculated to depict the daily, weekly, and monthly safety climate of the site, thereby offering insights into the effectiveness of implemented safety measures and identifying areas for continuous improvement. This study is anticipated to significantly contribute to the systematic enhancement of safety and the prevention of accidents on construction sites, fostering an environment of improved productivity and strengthened safety culture through the application of the Safety Perception Model.

Engaged number in the construction industry is 45 percentage level against to manufacturing industry. And Induction -factor of Production is much the same to mfg. field, Value added Induction-factor is more higher than manufacturing industry, therefore we research again about workers' inferior working & personal life condition in our society in order to they feel happiness their life with pride for the job construction occupation. So construction companies & government will be contribute to strengthen their phase & to achieve more higher level of construction working culture for elevate competitive power. We have to prepare the basis to turn to the qualitative construction businesses by break away from only the amount of work volume in company with the system of workers' self-conceit on the ground of professional education/training, qualification system, social insurance benefits, working condition improvement, stable job. Our nations does not feel well-being senses, only 25 class level in the 30 countries of OECD. We draw the questions at issue with slough off old customs in order to qualitative improvement for profession & self-contentment of construction workers, and present the useful plan to contribute to international competitiveness with our construction firms in the globalize construction field under Government's & company's policy.

우리나라는 근대화와 더불어 산업의 고도성장을 기약하면서, 예기치 못했던 산업재해로 말미암아, 많은 생명과 재산에 대해선 막대한 손실을 초래시키고 있다. 그러나 산업재해의 본질이 어디에 있고, 또 그것이 얼마나 크게 생산손실을 초래하고 있는지에 대해서 아직 과학적인 본질을 파악하고 있지 못하기 때문에 현실적으로 많은 재해손실을 감수하고 있는 것이 사실이다. 이와같은 입장에서 본 연구는 우린 1974년부터 1978 년에 이르는 5개년간의 한국 산업재해의 본질을 이해하고 앞으로의 산업합리화를 위해 그 대책을 강구해 보자는 것인데, 이를 위해서 본 연구는 1. 서론(문제의 제기) 가. 연구방법 나. 연구범위 2. 재해발생 상황 가. 78년도 재해 발생 상황 나. 연도별 산업 재해 추이 1) 5년간 추이(지수비교) 2) 전년도와 비교(% 비교) 라. 연도별 재해 발생율(재해도수율, 강도율, 천인율) 1) 재해도수율, 강도율 2) 천인율 라. 연도별 경제적 손실 3. 산업별 재해 가 산업별 재해 상황 나. 전년도와 비교 다. 산업별 재해 발생율 1) 재해도수율, 강도율 2) 재해년천인율 라. 산업별, 년도별, 재해도수율, 강도율, 천인율 1) 광업 2) 제조업 3) 건설업 4) 전기가스.수도업 5) 운수보관.통신업 마. 산업별, 정도별 재해 4. 재해원인 가, 원인별, 재해 발생 실태 나. 산업별 원인별 재해 발생 실태 5. 결론으로 고찰했으며 우리나라의 산업재해는 매년 상승되고 있다는 것이 고찰에서 나타났는데, 이와 같은 경향은 산업의 확산증대에도 영향이 없는 것은 아니지만 전제적으로 안전의식의 결핍이 가장 큰 요인인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 공업입국에 의한 경제자립과 지속적인 번영을 위해서는 $\circled1$ 계수적인 합리주의를 강력히 배제하고 사실에 입각한 과학적인 안전대책을 수립해야 하며, $\circled2$ 안전기준을 포함하는 모든 법령을 재정비하고, 단속법령으로서의 그것보다는 지도계몽을 위한 관계법령을 조속히 제정해야 하며, $\circled3$ 안전의식을 계발하여, 모든 능률관리, 생산성 향상의 근원으로 삼아야 할 것이며, $\circled4$ 안전전문연구기관을 적극적으로 육성하여 산업재해의 본질적인 원인연명과 재해대책을 수립해야 할 것이다.
