Geochemical composition, stable isotopes $({\delta}^{18}O,\;{\delta}D,\;{\delta}^{34}S)$ and noble gases(He, Ne and Ar) of nine hot spring water and three groundwater for five hot springs(Jukam, Hwasun, Dokog, Jirisan, Beunsan) from the Honam area were analyzed to investigate the hydrogeochemical characteristics and the hydrogeochemical evolution of the hot spring waters, and to interpret the source of sulfur, helium and argon dissolved in the hot spring waters. The hot spring waters show low water temperature ranging from 23.0 to $30.5^{\circ}C$ and alkaline characteristics of pH 7.67 to 9.98. Electrical conductivity of hot spring waters is $153{\sim}746{\mu}S/cm$. Groundwaters in this area were characterized by the acidic to neutral pH range$(5.85{\sim}7.21)$, the wide electrical conductivity range $(44{\sim}165{\mu}S/cm)$. The geochemical compositions of hot spring and groundwaters can be divided into three water types: (1) $Na-HCO_3$ water type, (2) Na-Cl water type and (3) $Ca-HCO_3$ water type. The hot spring water of $Ca-HCO_3$ water type in early stage have been evolved through $Ca(Na)-HCO_3$ water type into $Na-HCO_3$ type in final stage. In particular, Jurim alkaline(pH 9.98) hot spring water plotted at the end point of $Na-HCO_3$ type in the Piper diagram is likely to arrive into the final stage in geochemical evolution process. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopic data of the hot spring water samples indicate that the hot spring waters originated from the local meteoric water showing latitude and altitude effects. The ${\delta}^{34}S$ value for sulfate of the hot spring waters varies widely from 0.5 to $25.9%o$. The sulfur source of most hot spring waters in this area is igneous origin. However, The ${\delta}^{34}S$ also indicates the sulfur of JR1 hot water is originated from marine sulfur which might be derived ken ancient seawater sulfates. The $^3He/^4He\;and\;^4He/^{20}Ne$ ratios of the hot spring waters range from $0.0143{\times}10^{-6}\;to\;0.407{\times}10^{-6}\;and\;6.49{\sim}584{\times}10^{-6}$, respectively. The hot spring waters are plotted on the mixing line between air and crustal components. It means that the He gas in the hot spring waters was mainly originated from crustal sources. However, the JR1 hot spring water show a little mixing ratio of the helium gas of mantle source. The $^{40}Ar/^{36}Ar$ ratios of hot spring water are in the range from $292.3{\times}10^{-6}\;to\;304.1{\times}10^{-6}$, implying the atmospheric argon source.

The effects of the cold air generated from large cold water mass at the coastal area on observed air temperature in Busan were investigated using AWS(Automatic Weather Station) data at the Busan area operated by Korea Meterological Administration and SST(Sea Surface Temperature) data at the Gijang and Busan area operated by Korean National Fisheries Research Development Institute. First, the temperature difference between the coastal area and the city area was about $1^{\circ}C$ during cold water mass day while it was about $0.5^{\circ}C$ if cold water mass was not appeared. Second, for day time, the temperature at the coastal area was about $1^{\circ}C$ lower than that at the city area during cold water mass day, but the difference was only about $0.4^{\circ}C$ without cold water mass. On the other hand, for night time, the temperature at the coastal area was about $1.2^{\circ}C$ lower than that at the city area during cold water mass day and the difference was about $0.9^{\circ}C$ without cold water mass. As a result, temperature differences at night time were higher than those at day time whether or not cold water mass appeared. The reason for higher temperature at night time might be the urban heat island phenomenon.

In this paper, a system technology-based algorithms and visualization is proposed to show a space data. Also the proposed system provides analysis function with combination of usual map and automatic document generation function to give a useful information for making an important decision based on spatial distributed data. In the proposed method, we employ the heat map analysis to present a suitable color distribution for 2 dimensional map data. The buffering analysis method is also used to define the spatial data access. By using the proposed system, spatial information in a variety of distribution will be easy to identify. Also, if we make a use of automatic document generation function in the proposed algorithm, a lot of time and cost savings are expected to make electronic document which representation of spatial information is required.

LFG는 매립된 폐기물 중 유기성분이 혐기성조건에서 미생물에 의해 분해가 되면서 발생하며, 이러한 매립지가스는 주변 지역의 자연 및 생활환경에 악영향을 미치기 때문에 소각 등의 방법으로 LFG를 처리하고 있다. 일반적으로 매립지로부터 발생하는 가스의 량은 폐기물 1톤 당 $150{\sim}250m^3$로서 매립 후 2~3년 후에 최대량이 발생하며 매립 후 20~30년 후까지 지속적으로 발생함으로 안정적인 LFG의 공급이 가능하며, 메탄함량이 50%인 경우 약 $5,000kcal/m^3$의 높은 발열량을 가지므로 대체에너지원으로 이용할 경우 환경적인 문제 해결 및 신재생에너지원으로 활용할 수 있다. LFG 자원화 할 경우 가장 안정적인 방안으로 발전 및 중질가스로 활용하는 것이나, 발전의 경우 최소 200만톤 이상의 매립용량을 갖추어야 경제적인 사업성을 확보할 수 있으며, 중질가스로 활용하는 경우 인근에 가스 수요처를 확보해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 만약 중 소규모의 매립장에서 발생하는 LFG를 안전하고 경제적인 조건으로 저장 및 수송할 수 있다면 중 소규모의 매립지에서 발생하는 LFG도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 안전하고 경제적인 저장과 수송기술을 통하여 발전이 아닌 중질가스로의 활용도 가능하게 될 것이다. 또한 여러 곳의 매립장에서 발생한 LFG를 한 곳으로 집중시켜 고질가스로 전환하는 설비비용을 절감할 수 있으며, 정제된 고질가스를 이용하여 발전보다 경제적인 자동차 연료나 도시가스로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 LFG의 저장과 수송기술 중 GTS 기술을 통하여 저장과 수송에 제약이 크고 많은 비용이 소비되는 기체 상태의 에너지원을 하이드레이트화 시킴으로서 중 소규모 매립지에서 상대적으로 적은 비용으로 가스저장과 지상수송이 가능하게 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 LFG 에너지화 실증화 플랜트를 설계/제작 하였으며, 메탄+이산화탄소+물 하이드레이트 형성 실험 결과 4.56 Mpa, 277.2 K 조건에서 3시간을 한 사이클로 하는 공정운전을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 이때 생성된 슬러리상의 하이드레이트를 고압으로 배출하여 펠릿으로 형성시켰으며, 형성된 하이드레이트 펠릿의 경우 92.27%의 메탄을 포함하는 것을 확인하였다.

In order to support various multimedia communication services, a well balanced backbone network should be designed using recently advanced optical communication technologies. In this paper an optimal backbone network configuration design is presented fur Korean traffic environment. A new traffic model, Population-Distance-Gross Group Products(PDG) traffic model, is devised. In Korean network traffic environment, six regional centers are selected, link capacities between the regional centers are estimated from the PDG traffic model, and the overall network configuration is designed for the all-optical backbone network in Korea. A simulation study is carried out to verify the desired performance of the designed backbone network. Simulation results show that performance of the backbone network is well balanced to support various communication services in Korea in the 2000s.

This study is to investigate causal relationship between individual life satisfaction and air pollution, using ordered probit model with the KLIPS panel dataset for 1998-2008. As determinants, both individual economic and socio-demographic characteristics are considered. Empirical results show that the degree of air pollution has negative effects on individual life satisfaction. The effects of other variables are similar to those of existing studies. This study found that life satisfaction increases along with income increase. However, at a certain point, the increase of life satisfaction becomes smaller even with an increase in income, indicating non-linear effect. It implies that the Easterlin's paradox can be applied to Korea's case. The increase of the other person's income measured by income per capita in the region where respondent resides has negative effects on life satisfaction. On the other hand, a person who has married, own house, stayed healthy, and highly been educated is likely to have higher life satisfaction. Additionally, a person with many household members, urban resident, unemployed or self-employed are negatively correlated with life satisfaction.

In this paper we propose a method that can generate the risk probability map in the form of raster shape by using Markov Chain methodology applied to the object interpretation keys and quantified risk indexes. These object interpretation keys, which are primarily characteristics that can be identified by the naked eye, are set based on the objects that comprise the spatial information of a certain urban area. Each key is divided into a cell, and then is weighted by its own risk index. These keys in turn are used to generate the unified risk probability map using various levels of crime prediction probability maps. The risk probability map may vary over time and means of applying different sets of object interpretation keys. Therefore, this method can be used to prevent crimes by providing the ways of setting up the best possible police patrol beat as well as the optimal arrangement of surveillance equipments.

Main monthly household surveys conducted by Korea National Statistical Office are economically active population survey(EAPS) and household income and expenditure survey(HIES). Samples of these two surveys are redesigned every 5 years based on Census. This paper is about sample redesign of household survey conducted in 2002 based on 2000 Census. Main improvements of 2002 sample redesign are the introduction of rotation sampling system, the expansion of HIES survey area from urban to whole country and the foundation of basement to make small area estimation for the unemployment statistics. Also the number of sample households within a enumeration district(ED) is reduced from 24 to 20. That makes it possible to select more ED samples which provides better precision for EAPS and HIES. To select representative samples for the population, different classification index is used for each metropolitan area and provinces.

Eight RC bridge plers have been made on a 1/3.4 scale model and have been tested in a quasi-static cyclic load so as to investigate their seismic performance. The ultimate objective of this experimental study is to investigate the hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete plers, which have been widely used for urban transportation facilities in Korea. Improtant test parameters are hoop ratio, axial load, load pattern, and etc. And noninear behaviors of test columns have been evaluated through their yield and ultimate strength, energy dissipation, ductility and load-deflection characteristics under quasi-static cyclic loads. From the quasi-static tests on 8 bridge piers, it is concluded that energy dissipation, ultimate strength and curvature for a given displacement factor ${\mu}={\Delta}/{\Delta}_y$ are higher for the seismically designed columns than for the nonseismically designed columns.
