Despite of the various advantages of modular construction method and the continued growth of related markets, it is difficult to activate them because no specific system has been established in Korea. Accordingly, this study derived improvement areas and tasks for activating modular construction methods through existing literature reviews and preliminary surveys. Then, AHP analysis and expected utility evaluation were conducted for expert groups to derive priority for improvement areas and tasks. In addition, opinions of enterprise and architectural research were compared and analyzed, and the analysis results suggested the direction of policy establishment and system improvement. This study is expected to be used as a basic study for policy decision-making to activate modular construction method.

In the context of welfare politics, this study tries to examine how interest groups'policy priorities in the child-care policy of Korea were shaped and changed. Based on the already institutionalized child-care services, each beneficiary group-parents, employer and employee of child care center-has its own preference and perception in child-care policy. Futhermore, this difference has produced conflict of interests in the priority of policy options and brought interest group politics to the realm of child-care policy. With regard to interest group politics, this study firstly examines divergence of beneficiary groups'perception about the child-care policy priorities. Meanwhile, discourse politics should be regarded as another dimension of welfare politics because beneficiaries'perception preference in policy could be sometimes changed and converged by communicative policy discourse. By examining convergent aspects of beneficiary groups'perception about policy priority, this study secondly tries to analyze the discourse politics which has been influenced by the free child-care discourse during 2010-12 election period. To investigate these two dimensions of child-care politics, beneficiary groups'policy priority should be systematically and comprehensively classified and quantified. Using Analysis Hierarchy Process(AHP), this study identifies 11 policy issues and determines different ranking priorities of each beneficiary group.

Even though styrofoam buoys represent a large portion of beached marine debris in Korea, efficient government actions have been lacking to address them. Three participatory workshops were organized from 2010 to 2012 to develop policy measures to manage styrofoam buoy marine debris. The first workshop held in 2010 was organized in order for workshop participants to understand and share the styrofoam debris issue. Participating stakeholders suggested policy measures to address styrofoam debris through brainstorming in the second workshop in 2011. In the third workshop organized in 2012, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to set priorities for 16 selected policy measures. A total of 56 people participated in AHP, and answers of 40 participants that passed the consistency test were analyzed. 'Beach cleanup by public works program' ranked highest in priority, followed by 'Development of alternative buoy and aquaculture technologies'. Other research projects also ranked high in priority. Feasibility of policy measures was considered the most important criterion in the priority setting, followed by effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptability. This study demonstrated that participatory workshops in which diverse stakeholders take part in could provide a valuable tool in developing practical policy measures on styrofoam buoy marine debris.

The ministry of security and public administration provide the secure coding guide that can remove the vulnerability of applications and defend cyber attack from the coding step because cyber attack like the hacking about 75% abusing the vulnerability of applications. In this paper we find the oder of priority and did the criticality analysis used by AHP about 7 items in the secure coding which the ministry of security and public administration provide. The result is decided that 'exception handling' is the most important item. There is no secure coding items in software supervision currently, therefore the result of the research will make good use audit standards in the process of the software development.

Emerging three-dimensional television (3DTV) as a new IT product shows a possibility that television is not for just watching broadcasting, but an attractive tool for applying it to our real life. Three dimensional television is generally more effective and attractive than two-dimensional television (2DTV). But it still needs continuous technological improvement to solve its inherent limitations until many customers decide to purchase 3DTVs without hesitation. Innovative products like 3DTV encounter a quality problem leading purchase decision by customers. Quality is regarded as one of the most important factors affecting customers to adopt and use the product. Furthermore, measuring quality effectively is considerable for the 3DTV research. In this paper, we suggest the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method for evaluating 3DTVs in a view of quality. We describe quality criteria affecting the 3DTV selection through a literature survey and develope an analytical method for measuring quality. We classify the quality of 3DTV into four types and suggest a concept of the quality ratio as a measurement criteria instead of the quality gap. Though a numerical example, we show how priorities of 3DTV with versatile manufacturers is computed.

BIM(Building Information Modeling) is a technology that can manage information throughout the entire life cycle of the construction industry and serves as a platform for improving productivity and integrating the entire construction industry. Currently, BIM is actively applied in developed countries, and its use at various overseas construction sites is increasing This is unclear. due to air shortening and budget savings. However, there is still a lack of institutional basis and technical limitations in the domestic construction sector, which have led to the lack of utilization of BIM. Various activation measures and institutional frameworks will need to be established for the early establishment of these productive BIMs in Korea. Therefore, as part of the research for the domestic settlement and revitalization of BIM, this study derived a number of key factors necessary for the development of the construction industry through brainstorming and expert surveys using AHP techniques and analyzed the relative importance of each factor. In addition, prior surveys by a group of experts resulted in 1, 3 items in level, 2, 9 items in level, and 3, 27 items in level, and priorities analysis was performed through pairwise comparisons. As a result of the AHP analysis, it was found that the relative importance weight of policy aspects was highest in level 1, and the policy factors in level 2 and the cost-based and incentive system introduction factors were considered most important in level 3. These findings show that the importance of the policy guidance or institutions underlying the activation of BIM rather than research and development or corporate innovation is relatively high, and that the preparation of policy plans by public institutions should be the first priority. Therefore, it is considered that the development of a policy system or guideline must be prioritized before it can be advanced to the next activation stage. The use of BIM technologies will not only contribute to improving the productivity of the construction industry, but also to the overall development of the industry and the growth of the construction industry. It is expected that the results of this study can provide as useful information when establishing policies for activating BIM in central government, relevant local governments, and related public institutions.

The purpose of this paper is to find the success factors for a newly developed marine financial city of Busan. For this, in the paper, we did case studies about advanced marine financial cities such as Hamburg, Oslo, Pireus, Shanghai, Singapore and London. And we made the hierarchical questionnaire for this study from literature reviews and interviews with experts in the field of the marine finance. A hierarchy was made up of 4 factors as the first class and the each factor consisted of four elements as the second class. The results of AHP analysis are as follows. First, the most important factor in the priorities with respect to marine financial city of Busan is "development of marine finance(0.371)" within the four factors as the first class. Next came "business environment(0.248)", "infrastructure(0.206)" and "support of government(0.175)". Second, the most important things is a clustering for marine finance(0.134) within 16 elements as the second class. We also analysed the priorities by the each factor of the second class. The most important element is an industrial clustering of marine finance(0.400) for "development of marine finance" and a clustering of the shipbuilding & marine industry(0.175) for "business environment" factor. And the ICT & transportation(0.326) is the most important element for "infrastructure" and a support of the national government(0.423) for "support of government" factor.

Startup accelerators have emerged as new investment entities that help early startups, which are not easy to survive continuously due to lack of funds, commercialization capabilities, and experiences. As their positive performance on early startups and the ecosystem has been proven, the number of early startups which want to receive their investment is also increasing. However, they are vaguely preparing to attract accelerators' investment because they do not have any information on what factors the accelerators consider important. In addition, researches on startup accelerators are also at an early level, so there are no remarkable prior studies on factors that decide on investment. Therefore, this study aims to help startups prepare for investment attraction by looking at what factors are important for accelerators to invest, and to provide meaningful implications to academia. In the preceding study, we derived five upper level categories, 26 lower level accelerators' investment determinants through the qualitative meta-synthesis method, secondary data analysis, observation on US accelerators and in-depth interviews. In this study, we want to derive important implications by deriving priorities of the accelerators' investment determinants. Therefore, we used AHP that are evaluated as the suitable methodology for deriving importance and priority. The analysis results show that accelerators value market-related factors most. This means that startups that are subject to investment by accelerators are early-stage startups, and many companies have not fully developed their products or services. Therefore, market-related factors that can be evaluated objectively seem to be more important than products (or services) that are still ambiguous. Next, it was found that the factors related to the internal workforce of startups are more important. Since accelerators want to develop their businesses together with start-ups and team members through mentoring, ease of collaboration with them is very important, which seems to be important. The overall priority analysis results of the 26 investment determinants show that 'customer needs' and 'founders and team members' understanding of customers and markets' (0.62) are important and high priority factors. The results also show that startup accelerators consider the customer-centered perspective very important. And among the factors related to startups, the most prominent factor was the founder's openness and execution ability. Therefore, it can be confirmed that accelerators consider the ease of collaboration with these startups very important.

In this study, policy evaluation scheme was established to encourage the efficient implementation of EcoMobility which has been expanding gradually all around the world. A total of eight evaluation goals and 22 evaluation items are reviewed and suggested based on the three major evaluation categories of "Basic elements for EcoMobility", "Land use and transport system for EcoMobility", and "Implications and impact of EcoMobility". The results of this study are as follows: the result of AHP analysis which reflects only the hierarchical structure shows a high priority in "Elements for EcoMobility promotion", "Eco-fiendly transport infrastructure", and "Safety in transport". While in result of ANP which considered the elements' dependencies, "Eco-fiendly transport Services", "Welfare in transport", and "Environment by transport" have high weights and importances. In conclusion, this study would be useful to make reasonable judgment based on the analysis results of the two techniques in order to ensure reliability in evaluation of EcoMobility policy. Furthermore we have confirmed appropriate evaluation technique between AHP and ANP which is better to reflect the features of EcoMobility.
