Facility management is to maintain and develop the primary structural, functional, aesthetic performance of facility in order to guaranty the users' daily convenience and safety. However it is hard to maintain and serve their intended function and safe environment from the beginning as times go by. As present educational government of city and local area has been performing formally facility check and management as well as maintenance of school facility, it is hard to respond a dangerous situation at the suitable time and safety prevention plans are delayed. In addition, educational environment improving budget have been unreasonably decided not according to the allocating criteria. Therefore, this research developed a same, simple, and quantitative evaluation method of deterioration level of elementary, middle, and high School in Korea and verified usability of the method through the case study.

The purpose of this research is to determine the deterioration characteristics of high-rise and high-density apartment complexes in 1st period new towns in order to regenerate apartments as sustainable residential environments in Korea. For this purpose, the level of deterioration was evaluated by using 'evaluating indicators of the level of deterioration of high-rise and high-density apartments'. The deterioration characteristics were determined inclusively and concretely based on evaluation results. In addition, the deterioration level according to residents' awareness of the deterioration of their apartment was evaluated. This study was conducted by methods of field data collection, staff interview, field measurement, and resident survey according to the measurement of the evaluating indicators. And the re-organized questionnaire based on the evaluating indicators was utilized for a survey of resident's awareness. The results are as follows: In the physical dimensions of apartments, the deterioration characteristics included deteriorated equipment and a decline in structural performance due to the aging of the apartment, a shortage of parking spaces, and the low flexibility of the bearing wall structure, etc. In terms of the social dimensions, the apartments showed an increase in the number of elderly households, a shortage of community facilities, and a lack of the opportunity for community participation etc. In terms of the economic dimensions, the apartments showed limitations in maintenance & repair and a lack of environmentally friendly features.

The total number of railroad stations managed in Korea is 322 (including general and wide-area railways), and a considerable number of stations are aging. In terms of the size of the existing railway station and the number of entrances, it has not been possible to secure adequate service capacity, and the demand for station improvement is increasing due to changes in surrounding conditions such as urban development. In the past, railroad stations were focused on the simple function of a connection passage in terms of maintenance or management, but in recent years, railroad stations are also changing to an atmosphere that they should be reborn as a user-centered comfortable, convenient, and safe service provision space. In this study, a case study related to the improvement of the old railway station was conducted to derive an improvement plan that meets the improvement standard of the old station, and the service level evaluation standard was developed. By introducing the concept of service level (LOS) in the development model, station congestion, station movement convenience, and station safety were selected as evaluation indicators. In addition, this development model applied an analytical stratification technique to divide various evaluation elements of each indicator into major and detailed elements and derive the relative importance of the elements by class. Priority for improvement was derived using the ratio of the number of E and F on the LOS for each facility. Based on this study, it is expected to be helpful in using it as an evaluation criterion for improving objective and equitable railway station.

Recently, increasing number of urban ground subsidence occurrences has been identified. This situation is mainly due to the increased number of underground cavities. This study is intended to develop the method that prevents ground settlement caused by deteriorated or damaged sewers, which are the main cause of land subsidence. To that end, GPR exploration was conducted using CCTV monitoring of deteriorated sewer at the location with high settlement potential. Through such CCTV monitoring and GPR investigation, abnormal ground behavior was monitored at the site where sewer was damaged, joint was cracked and soil was deposited. According to site investigation in this study, evaluation method using correlation analysis of CCTV monitoring and GPR investigation results is expected to prevent ground settlement attributable to damaged sewer.

The proportion of old buildings over 40 years among all school facilities is about 20%. The degree of deterioration is also increasing, resulting in safety risks that reduce the residential safety of faculty and students or a poor environment that does not meet the new curriculum and educational conditions is rapidly increasing the need for repair and renovation of school facilities. In order to fully fulfill its role as a space for implementing education, school architecture requires an understanding of the national curriculum and a clear criterion for determining the relationship between education and space. In order to set the evaluation criteria for deteriorated school architecture, this study presents judgment data centered on quantification and accuracy so that relevant personnel can utilize scientific analysis, research and development of detailed and systematic comprehensive evaluation indicators, and quantified evaluation methods.

Non-revenue water reduction(NRW) technologies are implemented to evaluate and manage leakages scientifically in water distribution systems under local governments. A development of quantitative leakage indicator by measuring minimum night flow, pressure control policy by installation of PRV(pressure reducing valve) and the establishment of leakage prevention schemes by residual life modeling of deteriorated water pipes are reviewed and studied. Estimation models of allowable leakage are developed by measuring and analyzing minimum night flow at residential and commercial area in Nonsan city, which is suggested from UK water industry and can improve an existing leakage indicator for the evaluation of non-revenue water. Also, pressure control method is applied and analyzed to Uti distribution area in Sacheon city in the operation aspect. As results, $466\;m^3/day$ of leakage can be reduced and it is expected that 113million won of annual cost can be saved. In the part of corrosion velocity and residual life assessment, non-linear prediction models of residual thickness are proposed by assessment of corrosion velocity based on exposure years, soil and water quality etc., since the deteriorated water pipe play a major role to increase leakage. It is expected that collection data and analyzing results can be applied effectively and positively to reduce non-revenue water by accumulating surveying data and verifying the results in the business field of water distribution systems under local governments.

상수도시설 중 배수관망시설은 해당 지역의 영향을 민감하게 받는 시설이므로 설계시 해당시설의 특성을 충분히 고려해야 한다. 배수시설은 설치된 해당지역에 따라 그 특성이 매우 다르기 때문에, 설계지표 또한 해당 도시마다 다르게 설정될 수 있다. 도시의 규모가 크거나, 그 특성이 해당 구역에 따라 다른 경우에는 같은 도시의 경우라도 대상구역에 따라 다른 지표를 사용하는 경우도 있다. 따라서 이런 상수도관망의 설계 및 관리를 위해서는 장기간 현장여건에 맞는 관측자료를 통한 정밀한 수리분석이 요구되며 국내의 경우 일반적으로 Hazen-Williams 공식을 사용하고, 이때 관내면의 마찰손실계수 C는 유속계수라 한다. 이러한 유속계수는 상수관로의 물리적 특성을 나타내며 관로 내의 흐름해석, 펌프 및 관로의 설계, 최적 운영 방안, 통수능력 및 관 노후도 평가 등에 사용되거나 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소라 평가되고 있다. 또한 다수의 현장 관측 자료를 확보하여도 분기 구간과 펌프 및 밸브 등으로 인한 손실 등의 오차가 발생하므로 유속계수 산정 시 발생되는 많은 오차들을 줄여 보다 신뢰성 있는 유속계수를 산정해야 하고, 현장 관측 자료를 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하기 어려운 구간에 대해서는 관망해석 모델링을 통하여 결정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전주권 광역상수도의 계통 특성에 맞는 관로의 유속계수를 결정하기 위해 관리주체에서 기존에 설치한 수압계와 유량계 및 관망도를 이용하여 기초자료를 수집하고 Hazen-Williams 공식을 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하였다. 계산된 상수관로 유속계수는 전주시의 10개 계통에서 최소 107.06, 최대 145.02, 평균 127로 계산되었으며, 유속계수에 영향을 미치는 물리적 요소들의 관계를 파악하고자 상관성 분석 실행하였다. 그 결과 관경과 경과년수의 상관계수 R은 0.011 관경과 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.009로 두변수간의 상관성이 거의 없고, 경과년수와 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.776로 음의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같이 제시한 유속계수는 해당 지역의 참고자료나 기준으로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 비 대상 지역에서도 현장자료가 부족한 곳의 유속계수를 산정할 경우 보다 신뢰성 있게 유속계수를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Given both structural safety and economic benefits of aging facilities, remodelling of the existing facilities is preferable to reconstruction. This recognition provides an opportunity to reduce the commitment of resources and national budget. However, when a subordinate troop asks for remodeling or reconstruction of a deteriorated facility, it is difficult to ensure the consistency and objectivity in the process of decision making for the alternatives due to the absence of systematic and quantitative rating methodology. Their economic evaluation methodology only exists in a manual format. Thus, further research is required for converting the methodology into an automated system in view of practicality such as rapid and accurate data processing. The contributions of this study are as follows: 1) Literature review found out a representative economic evaluation model focused on military facilities, and comparative analysis with a similar study identified the strength and weakness. 2) this study presented how to convert the theoretical framework which enables to solve a specific subject matter into an automated system. 3) it developed a user friendly interfaces which consist of four functional modules by considering the usability and accessibility of the system user. 4) the developed system was verified by a case study in terms of four kinds of performance indicators.
