According to the disaster statistics issued by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, traffic accidents, fire, collapses and others are classified into twenty-three (23) categories. In the past, disasters were mainly caused by the influence of nature, such as typhoon or drought. On the other hand, as society has become city-centered, social disasters' types, frequencies and scales are becoming more diversified and ever-increasing. However, there are no specific criteria and assessment methods that can measure degrees of social disasters-related risks objectively. Therefore, this study targeted traffic accidents, fire and collapses from major social disasters, utilized data that are related to occurrence rate, scale of casualties and scale of property loss in past eight years, and calculated the disaster risk index using the distance (Euclidean distance) between two points on the 3D spatial coordinates, in order to make the objective assessment by social disaster type possible. These results will enable the objective evaluation of risk index of major social disaster to be used as the foundational data when building the national disaster management system.

This paper analyzes Japan's consignment management of the Chosun Railway to the South Manchuria Railway. While Chosun Railway was entrusted, its management style differed significantly from that of Japan's direct management. After eight years of trust management, the direct management of Chosun Railway was returned to Japan. This of beyond border trust management is very rare. In addition, the management of Chosun Railway by South Manchuria Railway, which had an operation style similar to that of a private company, led to changes in Chosun Railway. This research analyzes the four key traits of South Manchuria Railway's consigned management. The first key trait is the initial Korean infrastructure and operation separation model. The second key trait is the international transportation and administration segregation. The third key trait is that it expanded the railway related businesses and led to the establishment of private railway companies. The fourth key trait is that the continental linked transportation was activated. Through analyses, it would be to create a comparative study of the resulting East Asian countries' operations. Furthermore, this research will in investigating the nature of Chosun Railway.

최근 기후변화로 인해 예측이 어려운 국지성 호우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 국지성 호우는 대량의 홍수를 일으켜 유송잡물을 동반한 흐름을 야기할 수 있다. 대량의 유송잡물이 하상에 퇴적되면 통수능을 저하시키기도 하며 식생효과와 마찬가지로 유목주변으로 유속이 증가하면서 세굴현상이 발생하게 되는데, 이는 하상저하를 일으키며 수공구조물의 안정성에 지속적으로 피해를 줄 수 있다. 기후변화는 또한 강우패턴을 변화시켜 식생의 성장과 활착에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구지역인 내성천 회룡포의 경우, 2015년 대가뭄 발생 이후 식생활착으로 인해 식생대 면적이 증가하고 잇는 상황이다. 이는 연구지역의 흐름과 사주교란 및 하상변동에도 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되며, 특히 식생의 증가는 유송잡물의 증가를 야기 할 수 있기 때문에 식생과 유송잡물의 영향이 하천에 미치는 영향을 예측하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름모형인 Nays2D와 입자법기반의 유목동역학 모형을 활용하여 식생과 유송잡물이 하상변동에 미치는영향에 대한 수치실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 여기서, 식생의 경우, 식생성장모형을 적용하여 시간에 따라 식생이 성장하여 항력이 증가하는 것으로 가정하였으며 유송잡물의 경우, 하상에 퇴적되는 유송잡물의 개수와 면적만큼 항력이 증가하는 것으로 가정하였다. 흐름의 경계 조건은 일반화된 부정류 수문곡선을 입력하였으며 초기 하도의 형상은 일정한 경사를 가지는 평지로 가정하여 부정류에 따라 하상변동이 발생하는 것으로 모의하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 유송잡물보다 식생대 번성이 하상변동에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 유송잡물의 경우 국부적으로 퇴적 분포되어 그 주변으로 침식을 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유송잡물은 하안의 얕은수역에서 주로 퇴적되었다. 본 연구는 만곡부 하상변동에 대해 식생과 유송잡물을 고려하여 예측모의를 수행한 사례로서, 식생과 유송잡물이 흐름과 하상변동에 미치는 영향을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이는 추후에 식생을 고려하는 하천관리방안을 수립 시, 식생과 유송잡물의 영향을 물리적으로 설명할 수 있는 근거자료로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to propose a policy direction to improve the service of public bicycles in Seoul by identifying the physical characteristics that affect the satisfaction level in the Seoul Metropolitan Government's public bicycle use environment. To this end, a survey was conducted on users regarding their experiences using public bicycles in Seoul, and the responses of 567 people were analyzed. IPA analysis and ordinal logistic analysis were used. An analysis of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's public bicycle IPA showed that the satisfaction level was lower than that of importance in all categories. Among them, the most urgent need for improvement was the installation of bicycle roads, improved connectivity of bicycle roads, improved road management, classification of roads and bicycle roads, improved safety during night driving, and low satisfaction levels. Second, an analysis of the factors affecting the satisfaction in the public bicycle use environment showed that the model's explanatory power increased significantly from 0.062 to 0.437 after incorporating perceived variables, confirming that the perceived neighborhood environment characteristics are an important variable for determining the satisfaction level in the public bicycle use environment, among the perceived neighborhood environmental characteristics, accessibility, convenience, manageability.

A bunch of asphalt roads have been damaged frequently in relation to the rapid climate change. To solve and prevent this type of problems, many nationalities in the world have performed various researches. In this regard, the objective of this study is to develop prediction model as to the number of potholes occurred in seoul. At the same time, we have utilized empirical and statistical approaches in order for us to identify factors which is affecting the actual occurrence. The predictive model was determinded by using BHS (Basic Harmony Search) algorithm. Prediction was based on the weather and traffic data as well as data occurrence data of porthole. To assess the influences which are PAR(Pitch Adjusting Rate) and HMCR(Harmony Memory Considering Rate), we determined suitability by changing the values. In the process of the determining a predictive model, the predictive model composed Training data (2011, 2012 and 2013yrs data). To determine the suitability of the model, we have utilized Testing Set (2009 and 2010 yrs data). The suitability of the basic prediction model has been from RMSE(Root Mean Squared Error), MAE(Mean Absolute Error) and Coefficient of determination.

The construction industry has been recognized as lagging behind other industries in the area of research and development (R&D) due primarily to the lack of R&D funds. To overcome this situation, the Korea Ministry of Construction and Transportation has a plan to expand its investments on the construction R&D up to 1.72 billion US dollars over the next 3 years. Despite this effort, it is still challenging to conduct the quantitative measurement on the efficiency of construction R&D projects, which can be utilized as the objective basis in the reasonable selection of a promising R&D team or in the consequential evaluation of a R&D performance. This study aims to conduct the efficiency analysis on the construction R&D projects to provide the basis for evaluating the performance of research and development. Toward this end, this study performs an efficiency analysis, which reflects all of the input and output data into/from the construction R&D by utilizing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The proposed methodology can be utilized to make a better decision on the priority of the R&D investments and present a sound basis to suggest the areas to be improved so as to reduce the inefficiency of R&D projects.

Due to unusual climate change and global warming, drought and flood happen frequently not only in Korea but also in all over the world. It leads to the serious damages and injuries in urban areas as well as rural areas. Since the concentration time is short and the flood flows increase urgently in urban stream basin, the chances of damages become large once heavy storm occurs. A decision support system for flood forecasting and warning in urban stream is developed as an alternative to alleviate the damages from heavy storm. It consists of model base management system based on ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System), database management system with real time data building capability and user friendly dialog generation and management system. Applying the system to the Tanceon river basin, it can forecast and warn the stream flows from the heavy storm in real time and alleviate the damages.

Various studies suggest that the initial operating form of UAM, which is being presented as a solution to the urban traffic problem, will be similar to VTOL aircraft among current aircraft. In a form similar to determining the direction of the runway where fixed-wing aircraft take off and land, the vertiport where take-off and landing of VTOL aircraft takes place determines the flight direction of departure and arrival in consideration of the direction of the wind. Unlike areas where airports are generally built, in the case of downtown areas, it is expected that the characteristics of wind may continuously change depending on the environment of changing terrain or obstacles such as the construction of new buildings. In this study, long-term actual observation data for reviewing the take-off and landing directions at the city center where the location of the vertiport is expected are compared using a wind speed map, and the characteristics of the ground wind and the possibility of change in the direction of the predominant wind depending on the observation period and observation location confirmed.
