To prepare for agricultural droughts, the potential discharge to the water supply of irrigation facilities during drought periods is important. Using the MODSIM (Modified SIMYLD) model, water balance networks that consider irrigation facilities were designed for the Geum River Basin, and the potential discharge to the agricultural water supply of irrigation facilities were evaluated by running the model using data for 36 years (1967-2002). It was found that agricultural water deficiencies occurred during the drought years more than in the other years. The agricultural water deficiencies in 1994, 1995, and 2001, the representative drought years, were 745.8 million m$^3$, 661.1 million m$^3$, and 696.8 million m$^3$, respectively. The average potential discharge to the water supply of the sub-basin was 99.1 % in the cases of municipal and industrial water, and 84.4 % in the case of agricultural water. The potential discharge to the water supply in 1994, 1995, and 2001 were 74.8 %, 79.2 %, and 77.9 %, respectively, which are lower than those of the other years' sub-basin average. In the analysis of the contribution of each irrigation facility, the contributions of pumping stations and diversions were calculated as 32.5 %, and of culverts and wells, 4.0 %. During the drought periods, the pumping stations and diversions contributed to a certain level.

This paper propose an efficient algorithm for selecting electric bus charging facility location. In nature, the optimal charging facility location problem is similar to Set Covering Problem. Set Covering Problem is the problem of covering all the rows of an $m{\times}n$ matrix of ones and zeros by a subset of columns with a minimal cost. It has many practical applications of modeling of real world problems. The Set Covering Problem has been proven to be NP-Complete. In order to overcome the computational complexity involved in seeking optimal solutions, this paper present an enhanced greedy algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm. In this paper, we apply the developed algorithm to Seoul's public bus system.

South Korea has entered the age of aging society since the elderly population over 65 reached 13.1% in 2015. This increase rate is the fastest in the OECD members. as a part of the precaution, the Korean government has enforced the long term care insurance from July 2008 and the increase of related nursing homes until 2015 was 220.2% which is rapid and quantitative. It was natural that quantitative expansion leads to qualitative improvement. With regard to service environment conditions, color environment draws attention as one of the most effective measures. color environment supports nursing home's spatial functions and the aged class is subject to the research as the potential customers. This study aims to understand color environment, conduct surveys for color preference and attitude toward color environment, and suggest directions for color environment plan. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of Korean nursing home environment. It studied definition, state, color environment and space functions of nursing homes as well as the preceding researches. With 100 people over 60s in Busan and Gyeongnam area (52 male and 48 female), the survey examined attitudes for color environment and color preference by space functions in nursing home. The research method is as follows. First, as a result of the consciousness survey on color environment in elderly nursing home, it considers service (37%), medical service (20%), and location (19%) heavily in order. color environment plan is not recognized significantly. However, the need of indoor color plan in the elderly nursing homes has "agree (32%) and "strongly agree (25%), which suggests that color introduction is required to the nursing homes. Second, the indoor coloration for the elderly nursing homes has various color preferences. The color preference order for bedroom was R, P, and G but this order changes in nursing space (program room) to G, R, and Y. The communal space such as lobby prefers R, G and Y in order. R color was preferred in general.

The purpose of this study is to analyze patterns of public school building layout types, open space and relationship with communities in the Manhattan grid plan. The study illustrates how building layout patterns of school facilities are influenced by societal demands in the urban grid environment. During the nineteenth century, the Island of Manhattan was transformed into a physical representation of the Cartesian coordinate system via the development of the grid street plan. In order to take advantage of streets as urban space, it is quite important to understand characteristics of communities and open space relationships between buildings and streets. Moreover, the strategic planning of schools' outdoor space vitalizes public streets as a critical community anchor. This research reviews 118 Manhattan public schools and categorizes them by (1) building layout type, (2) site type, (3) circulation and public open space, which are the biggest factors that determine the layout patterns of the public schools in Manhattan. As a result of analysis, the layout patterns are classified into seven types : "ㅡ", "L", "ㄷ", "ㅁ", "H", "T" and "other" type. Of these, "ㅡ" type and "L" type occur most frequently, because these configurations most flexibly fit into the limited grid-locked blocks, the various types of site & topography, and adapt most dynamically to the open spaces created by using avenues and streets. The ultimate objective of this study is to provide a case study for future efforts to plan open spaces for campuses that effectively utilize the streets in proximity.

The level of service (LOS) of the Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM) has been used as a basic criterion at decision making processes for signalized intersections in Korea. The KHCM provides five steps for the signalized intersection analysis. Among them, lane grouping, which is the third step, significantly influence the final LOS. The current method presented in the KHCM, however, classifies a shared lane as a de facto turning lane group, even though the turning traffic of the shared lane is few. Thus, this research was initiated to provide an alternative. To this end, three alternatives were suggested, including the method based on the lane grouping presented in the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual, the method using turning ratio of shared turning lane, and the method using a threshold traffic volume in lane grouping. The feasibilities of the three methods were evaluated using a calibrated CORSIM model. Conclusively, the method using a threshold traffic volume in lane grouping outperformed.

국내에는 농업용수 공급을 목적으로 축조된 저수지가 2008년 통계연보기준에 따르면 17,649개소가 있으며, 이 중 3,326개소는 한국농어촌공사에서 관리하고, 나머지 14,323개소는 지자체에서 관리하고 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 유효저수량으로 보면 공사관리가 24억4천7백만$m^3$, 지자체관리가 3억2천3백만$m^3$으로 각각 88.3%와 11.7%를 관리하고 있는 셈이다. 경상북도와 같은 산이 많은 지방은 지자체관리가 전체 대비 34.5%인 4,943개소이지만 유효저수량으로 보면 전체 27억7천만$m^3$ 중 8천4백만$m^3$ 3%수준, 지자체관리 대비 26.1%수준의 저수지가 있는 셈이다. 저수지의 축조년도를 지자체관리 저수지의 58%인 8,352개소의 저수지가 1948년 이전에 축조된 일명 '밀가루 댐'으로 불리는 저수지가 대부분이다. 축조된 지 60년 이상 된 시설물은 공용내구연한이 경과한 시설로서 노후손상부위를 복구해야 함은 물론 이상기후에 따른 강우사상의 변화로 설계빈도를 달리하여 재해대비 보강이 필요한 시설이다. 2002년 8월 제15호 태풍 루사나 2003년 9월 제14호 태풍 매미 등에 의해 저수지의 피해가 발생하는 빈도가 점차 늘어가고 있다. 따라서 지자체관리 저수지의 안전관리방안의 마련을 통한 재해대비보강 및 기능강화가 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시 군 관리 농업용 저수지에 대하여 저수지 준공년도별 설계빈도에 대한 등급 구분 및 홍수배제 능력 등 수리 수문학적 안정성 기준을 설정하여 검토한 결과 1960년대 이전에 축조된 저수지의 경우 50%이상의 저수지에서 안정성에 문제가 생긴 것으로 파악되며, 1970년대에는 38%, 1980년대에는 34%, 1990년대에는 24%로 검토되었다. 이와 같이 안정성에 문제가 있는 저수지는 주기적인 모니터링과 보강이 필요하다고 사료된다.
