Currently, satellite images act as essential and important data in water resources, environment, and ecology as well as information of geographic information system. In this paper, we will investigate basic characteristics of satellite images, especially application examples in water resources. In recent years, researches on spatial and temporal characteristics of large-scale regions utilizing the advantages of satellite imagery have been actively conducted for fundamental hydrological components such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture and natural disasters such as drought, flood, and heavy snow. Furthermore, it is possible to analyze temporal and spatial characteristics such as vegetation characteristics, plant production, net primary production, turbidity of water bodies, chlorophyll concentration, and water quality by using various image information utilizing various sensor information of satellites. Korea is planning to launch a satellite for water resources and environment in the near future, so various researches are expected to be activated on this field.

This paper examines the situation and tasks of UK rail privatization, especially focusing on after the Hatfield rail accident. Earlier research which focused on the UK's Privatization had little knowledge of the explanations for recent changes. Moreover they had difficulty making a direct comparison between national rail and the privatized rail. Therefore we aye left without a good explanation which has a comprehensive perspective. I attempt to show the change in the rail privatization Process and its outcome, focusing on after the Hatfield rail accident. This Paper argues that the UK's vail privatization process has a regulatory framework which is too complicated with overlapping responsibilities that brought about inefficiency, increasing costs and a superficial safety regime. Especially the planning of rail and infrastructure maintenance did not come to play an appropriate role. However after 2000, the government took charge of setting the strategy for railways, and the Office of Rail Regulation covered safety performance and cost. explain that these changes present a good opportunity to solve the problem of passing the buck for poor performance. Through the analysis, I find that the passenger rail network is well-suited to deliver long distance business and commuters and that the subsidy from the government is decreasing. However, performance, for example punctuality and reliability. should be improved. Especially the Hatfield rail accident caused a reduction in the satisfaction of passengers. In future. the problems of rising costs and monopoly franchise system should be addressed.

Acceleration and deceleration curves have been used for design purposes worldwide. The curve in design level has been regarded as an single deterministic curve to be used for design of climb lanes. It should be noted that the curve was originally made using ideal driving truck and that the curve is applied during design based on the assumption of no difference between ideal and real driving conditions. However. observations show that aged vehicles and lazy behavioring drivers nay make lower performance of vehicles than the ideal performance. The present paper provides the results of truck speeds at climbing lanes then probabilistic variation of acceleration and deceleration corves. For these purposes. a study about identification of vehicle makers, and weights for trucks at freeway toll gates and then observation of vehicle-following speed were performed. The 85%ile results obtained were compared with the deterministic performance curves of 180, 200, and 220 Ib/hp. It was identified that the performance of 85%ile results obtained from vehicle-following-speed observations were lower than one from deterministic performance curves. From these results, it may be concluded that at the beginning Point of climbing lanes additional $16.19{\sim}67.94m$ is necessary and that at the end point of climbing lanes $53.12{\sim}103.24m$ of extension is necessary.

The objectives of this paper were to investigate home range, habitat selection, and threat factors of leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) living in rural area of Korea. The results based on radio tracking of three leopard cats (two males and one female) can be summarized as follows. First, the average home range of leopard cats were $2.64{\pm}1.99km^2$ (Kernel 95) and $3.69{\pm}1.34km^2$ (MCP 100), and the average size of core areas was $0.64{\pm}0.47km^2$ (Kernel 50). The home range of a male leopard cat that radio-tracked in winter was the largest ($5.19km^2$, MCP 100). Second, the Johnson's habitat selection model based on the Jacobs index showed that leopard cats preferred meadows and paddy fields avoiding forest covers at the second level, whereas they preferred meadows adjacent to streams and avoided paddy fields at the third level. Finally, roadkill could be prime threat factor for the cat population. Therefore, habitats dominated by paddy fields, stream corridors with paved roads, and human settlements with insufficient forest patches could threaten the long-term viability of leopard cat populations. Thus the habitat managements for the leopard cat conservation should focus on the prevention of road-kill and the installation of wildlife passages in rural highways adjacent to stream corridors.

This study aims to compare the mutual perception gap on dangerous driving behavior between male and female drivers in multiple aspects, analyze them, and identify factors that trigger this different perception. To understand the mutual perception gap on dangerous driving behavior, DBQ(Driving Behavior Questionnaire) was applied as a rating scale. By applying results into the Co-oreintation model, this study compared the mutual perception gap between male drivers and female drivers and analyze results. In addition, factors that generate the perception gap between both genders were drawn by analyzing factors. This study suggested that objective consistency identified the perception gap that driving behaviors of others were more dangerous between two genders. In addition, subjective consistency was different as both genders assumed that the counterpart's driving behavior takes more risks than their own actual driving behaviors. In regard to the accuracy, men were aware that female driving behaviors are more dangerous than their behaviors. However, female driving behavior assumed by women was consistent with male perception in all factors, which indicated that women perceive men precisely. In addition, results were compared and analyzed in both perspectives of male drivers and female drivers by combining predictive models. Based on these results, both genders perceived that counterpart's driving behavior is more dangerous among both genders.

The purpose of this study is to identify determinants of economic aid regarding housing and cost of living for the newly-married households. This study applied the binary logit model to figure out the determinants of economic aid from their parents for the households. With utilizing the Newly-Married Housing Survey data in 2015, this study found that housing characteristics and level of housing expenditure leads to the economic aid from their parents. In particular, the housing price and transportation condition increase probability the financial aid from parents when the newly-married household starts their housing career. In addition, this study found that the items of housing expenditure increase the probability of economic aid for their cost of living. To improve the independence of newly-married household, the government should adopt the housing policy for stable housing price and alleviate the burden of housing expenditure. The significance of this study is analyzing the economic aid from their parents on newly-married household regarding housing economic issues and suggest the policy for independence of living from their parents.

토목 기술의 발달로 장대교량이 증가함에 따라 교면 포장도 더 심각한 진동 및 충격, 기상조건에 노출되게 된다. 교면 포장은 차량의 주행의 편리성뿐 아니라 교량 구조물을 보호해야 하는 역할도 함께 수행하기 때문에 일반 토공부의 포장과 다른 성능을 필요로 한다. 교면 포장의 특수함을 감안하여 교면 포장의 품질을 평가하고, 설계와 적용시 반영 한다면 교량의 내구 연한 및 시공, 유지관리 비용을 절감 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 교면 포장에 요구되는 성능을 조사하고, 교면 포장 특히, 장대 교량 적용시 교면 포장의 성능 평가를 위한 평가 방법을 고찰하였다. 교면 포장의 가장 큰 구조적 특징은 교량의 진동과 휨에 의해 포장이 받게 되는 휨응력이다. 특히 교량의 장경간화에 따라 더 큰 진동과 변형을 경험하게 되는 교면 포장은 그에 따른 충분한 휨 추종성과 피로 저항성을 확보하여야 한다. 기존 토공부 포장에서는 실험이 간단한 원통형 공시체를 이용한 간접인장강도 모드의 실험으로 피로 성능을 평가하였으나, 교면 포장은 실제 거동 특성과 유사한 빔 피로 시험 모드가 보다 신뢰성이 높을 것으로 판단된다. 빔 피로시험 모드로는 3점, 4점, 5점 휨 피로 시험 모드가 있으며, 각각의 모드는 지지점의 개수, 재하점의 개수에 따라 다른 거동 특성을 평가 할 수 있다. 최근 개발된 5점 휨 시험의 경우 교량에서 발생하는 부(-)모멘트를 모사할 수 있어 보다 현실적인 검증이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 이 외에도 실제 크기 모형을 이용하여 윤하중을 가하는 Full-scale 모델의 경우 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있으나 가장 신뢰성이 높은 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 교면 포장은 교량구조부로 수분이 침투되는 것을 막아주는 역할을 하여야 하며, 특히 해상 교량의 경우의 염분과 겨울철 사용되는 제빙화학제는 콘크리트의 열화와 강구조물의 부식을 발생시키므로 교면 포장의 방수 성능 검토는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 일반 토공부 포장과 달리 교면 포장은 하부층이 대기에 노출되어 있기 때문에 겨울철에 더 낮은 온도로 포장체의 온도가 내려가게 되고, 온도가 떨어진 포장층은 스티프니스가 증감함에 따라 저온 균열의 발생확율이 높아지며, 휨추종성도 나빠질 가능성이 높다. 따라서 저온에서의 균열 저항성 및 스티프니스를 평가하는 것은 교면 포장 재료의 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 포장과 포장 하부층의 접착은 포장층의 일체화된 거동을 할 수 있게 하기 때문에 내구성 향상에 중요하다. 특히 교량과 같이 진동과 변형이 많은 경우에 있어 포장 접착층의 성능은 포장과 교량 구조물의 파손에 더 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 접착성능은 실내에서의 직접인장모드와 전단접착강도 시험 모드의 실험이 있으며, 현장에서 측정하는 Pull-off 실험 등이 있다. 최근에 교통량과 중차량의 증가와 더불어 교량이 장경간화 되어 가면서 평가방법과 기준을 과거보다 엄격하게 할 필요성이 있다. 하지만 현실은 교면포장에 대한 시방규정이 모호하기 때문에 본 논문에서 제시한 국내외의 다양한 평가방법을 통해 적절한 교면포장의 성능을 평가하고 교면포장의 거동특성에 대한 이해를 함으로써 보다 발전된 교량기술을 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

As the use of children's school buses increases, accidents caused by the negligence of school bus drivers and ride carers have also increased significantly. To prevent such accidents, the government is coming up with various policies. We propose an accident prevention and safety management system for children's school buses. Through this system, bus drivers can easily check whether each child is seated and whether the seat belt is used, so it is possible to quickly respond to children's conditions while driving. With the ability to recognize faces by analyzing camera images, children can use a seat belt that is automatically adjusted to their height. It is therefore possible to prevent secondary injuries that may occur in the event of a traffic accident. In addition, a sleeping child-check system is provided to confirm that all children get off the bus, and a text service is provided to inform parents of their children's locations in real time. Based on Raspberry Pi, the system is implemented with cameras, pressure sensors, motors, Bluetooth modules, and so on. This proposed system was attached to a bus model to confirm that the series of functions work correctly.
