After individual consumption tax on bituminous coal has been imposed by Korean government after 2014 Jul, we analyse the influence of tax and conclude that the consumption of high calorie coal has been increased and that of low/middle calorie coal has been decreased. And also, the average calorie of coal consumption has been increased and the more fuel cost happens on account of the average calorie increase. Those effects have been caused by the current tax imposition system which does not reflect the bituminous coal trait. The motivation of oversea resource development and the effort of coal blending skill have been decreased because of the current tax policy. We suggest 2 ways of the tax policy improvement system[1. tax imposition system in proportion to 5,000kcal/kg, 2. 15 stages(1 stage : 200kcal/kg) segmentation tax imposition system equal to the tax/(5,000kcal/kg)] to increase the current tax amount, to prevent the coal consumption distortion and to remove the further fuel cost.

Popular content stored within the Internet may be convenient to download via modern 3G connections, but costly due to a fee charged by telecommunication providers on the basis of the amount of data transferred. This paper presents a network in which several mobile devices, called the peers, cooperate to download their assigned portion of the content using a 3G connection in order to reduce the overall cost. Then, the peers exchange their assigned portion of the content with other peers via a wireless ad hoc network and the peers reconstruct the whole content using the exchanged portion. This paper focuses on the per-peer based distribution method, and presents the performance comparison with a similar method, called the per-packet distribution method. Both methods are designed to reduce packet collisions while content is exchanged. The simulation result indicates that the per-peer based method outperforms the per-packet based method, and approximately 90% of the telecommunication cost is saved with as few as 10 peers.

Seoul metropolitan public transport reform results in the introduction of the semi-public operation and distance-based fare policies. With implementation of these policies, public transport revenue allocation has been (will be) evolved very complicated because the existing revenue allocation issues have not only been clearly solved, which is generated by the combined relationship among Korea Railroad Corporation (KRC). Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation (SMSC). Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (SMRTC), and Incheon Rapid Transit Corporation (IRTC), but also the revenue allocation problem between bus and urban railroad-related organizations need to be considered in this combined framework. On top of that. based on the future plans such as the private sector's railroad construction plan(s), the light rail transit construction plans of several local governments and the join of remained bus lines of Seoul metropolitan areas, it is understood that the revenue allocation among public transport operating organization will become one of main issues of operation organization as well as local and central governments. As a basic approach for revenue allocation of public transport operation organizations, the purpose of this paper is to propose an integrated model applicable to estimate degree of service contribution in passenger carriage in the combined public transport network. With a hypothesis that the complete electronic card system is deployed, this paper supposes every passenger's loading and alighting stations is recordable. Thereby, this paper limits research scope as to Seoul metropolitan railroad area since used route(s) between origin and destination stations can not be traceded because transfer stations each passenger path through is not recorded. Each model proposed in the paper is as follows: 1. a generalized cost reflecting passenger's transfer behavior; 2.a K path model for determining similar routes between O-D; 3.an assignment model for loading O-D trips onto the detected similar routes using Logit Model.

The housing market in Korea had mainly consisted of Maemae(purchasing market) and Chonsei(rental market). Since 1997 foreign exchange crisis, the rental housing market has experienced substantial changes in preferred rental contracts between Chonsei and monthly-rent. Even though monthly-rent has taken a substantial portion of housing rental contracts, not yet reliable monthly-rent index has been developed. Furthermore, it isn't obvious to define monthly-rent because there are many types of monthly rent structures from full-monthly-rent to monthly-rent-with-variable-deposit. This study is the basic research of developing a housing price index of monthly-rent in accordance with the existing price index of Maemae and Chonsei in Korea. This research has been carried out with the following contents: (1) Constructing the actually desirable concept of monthly-rent through examining monthly-rental market in Korea. (2) Selecting the reasonable method to investigate monthly-rental market, especially monthly-rent-with-variable -deposit. (3) Designing monthly-rental market samples and calculating the price index of monthly-rent based on 2005 Census.

도로 교통의 혼잡이 나날이 증가되고 있는 현실 상황에서 이를 해결하기 위한 새로운 도로의 무제한적 건설은 정보의 예산절약, 필요한 도로용지 확보의 어려움, 환경오염 문제 등으로 인해 현실적인 한계에 이르렀다. 따라서, 이러한 도로의 혼잡상황에 효과적으로 대처하기 위해서는 승용차를 이용하고자 하는 수요를 대량수송이 가능한 대중교통 이용수요로 전환시켜야 하며, 이를 위해서는 대중교통의 서비스수준 제고 및 운영 관리 체계 등의 개선이 필요하다. 이를 위한 전략적 및 운영적 측면에서의 대중교통계획은 미래 대중교통수요의 정확한 예측을 전제로 하여 수립되며, 이러한 수요의 예측은 필수적으로 현실을 보다 더 정확하게 묘사해 줄 수 있는 통행배정모형을 필요로 한다. 대중교통 통행배정은 규칙적인 배차시간과 정해진 노선을 운행하는 고정서비스 시스템으로 구성되어 있어서 한 링크 상에서도 여러 개의 운행노선을 고려해야 하기 때문에 승용차 통행배정과는 독립적으로 취급되어 왔으며, 이로 인해 그 동안 많은 연구가 선행되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구는 교통예측 프로그램 중의 하나인 EMME/2에서 사용하고 있는 대중교통수요 통행배정 모형인 최적전략모형(Optimal Strategy Model)의 단점을 보완하기 위한 것이다. 최적전략모형은 수요 배정시, 최적전략에 속하는 경로들에 대해 단순히 운행횟수에 비례하여 수요를 배정함으로 인해서, 예를 들면 운행횟수는 많지만 환승이 많은 경로에 수요를 많이 배정하는 것과 같은 비현실적인 결과가 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구는 이를 개선하기 위해서, 두 가지 대안을 제시했다. 먼저, 노선배정에 우선되는 최적경로 탐색시 환승노드에서의 환승에 대한 벌점을 그 노선의 운행회수에 줌으로써 환승이 많은 경로에 수요의 배정이 적게 되도록 하는 방법과 두 번째로 수요의 배정시 운행횟수가 아닌 목적지까지의 통행시간과 대시시간에 따른 확률적 배분을 통해 기존 모형의 단점을 보완하고자 했다.

A switch in congestion management nile in an electricity market may have positive or negative impact on the surplus of a market participant. As a number of wholesale electricity markets around the world either have already adopted or plan to implement Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) for energy and congestion management, it is necessary to study the economic impact of a change in congestion management in the Korean electricity market. However, the impact of congestion management on consumer costs and generator surplus has not been studied for the electricity market in Korea. This paper examines how a change in congestion management affects consumer costs and generator surplus in the Korean electricity market.

It is desirable to use a monthly benchmarked construction indicator which contains the characteristics of statistical data in an annual survey in order to analyze the cyclical phenomenon of the construction activity. The benchmarked indicator is expected to improve the data quality in terms of accuracy, consistency, comparability, and completeness. In this paper, benchmarking methodologies of compiling monthly construction indicators arc researched by using a monthly prompt data holding short - term fluctuations and an annual survey data regarded as more accurate statistics than monthly data. The benchmarking is the methodology by which a high frequency data should he adjusted in order to hold the short-term and cyclical phenomena, and the long - term trend of two data groups with ensuring the consistency of an annual summation between a high frequency data and a low frequency data. This paper considered the numerical approach like pro rata distribution method, proportional Denton method, EFL or HP filter Benchmark - to - Indicator ratio method, and the model - based approach such as Chow and Lin method, $Fem{\acute{a}}ndez$ method. Also, the benchmarked construction indicators were estimated by early mentioned benchmarking methods with practical data, and these methods were empirically reviewed and compared. In case of construction indicators with severe seasonal fluctuations and irregulars, the numerical approach seemed to be performed more correctly than the model- based approach. Among numerical methods, the proportional Denton method used in general was a little nice. The HP filter Benchmark - to - Indicator ratio method may be considered with survey errors or measurement errors in an annual survey data.

The purpose of this study is to develop the elementary mathematics education program for the cultivation of humanistic imagination and characters through the link between mathematics and literature to find out its effectiveness. This study has verified the effectiveness of mathematics academic achievement, humanistic imagination and characters with the program development and preliminary program and application of this program for two years. After conducting classes on proportional expression and proportional distribution for 79 sixth-grade elementary school students (39 in the experimental class and 40 in the comparative class) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do under this program, the researcher analyzed how the application of the program affects students' perception using pre- and post-examinations on mathematics academic achievement, humanistic imagination, and characters, including interviews with students, and analysis of outputs of the students. Studies have shown that the application of the elementary mathematics education program to foster humanities imagination and characters did not make any significant difference in mathematics academic achievement, and there were statistically significant differences in the subcategories of "reflection on life", "positive self-consciousness" and "humanistic imagination" categories, and there were no statistically significant differences in the "purpose of life" and "human relations" categories. However, the responses from the students' interviews showed that their perspectives of humans and the world has become wider and deeper. It also did not produce significant results for characters. As suggestions, the ministry should present the need to develop and distribute concerning materials for teachers, secure time for creative experience activities for convergence subjects, and operate practical and long-term training programs for teachers.

Using the Choice Experiment Method, this paper identified whether subsidy to the household around landfil in Seoul metropolitan area is being provided corresponding to the scale of the environmental damage. Since 2001, the subsidy program has been operating for nearly 20 years to compensate for various environmental damage (foul odor, noise, air pollution, water pollution, etc.) from landfill site in the metropolitan area, but it is not clear on what ground the subsidy is allocated. This paper estimated the marginal WTP by attribute (odor, noise, air pollution, and water pollution) based on mixed logit model and compared them with current subsidy level per household in each town. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the subsidy for each town was not allocated in proportion to the amount of the marginal WTP for each household in the corresponding town. In addition, this paper constructs a level-by-level scenario for environmental improvement attributes and compares economic benefits and current subsidy levels. As a result, the current subsidy level is insufficient compared to the level at which environmental damage is completely eliminated, but excessive subsidy is allocated compared to partial improvement levels.

This study derives quantitative data on how much the fiscal deficit of subway operation agencies can be reduced in the process of charging free rides for the elderly in metropolitan subways during peak periods. In smart card data, every trip of elderly is recorded except fares. Therefore, it is required to establish a methodology for estimating the fares of elderly passengers and distributing them to subway opertation agencies as income. This study builds a simultaneous dynamic traffic allocation model that reflects the assumption that elderly selects a minimum time route based on the departure time. The travel route of the elderly is estimated, and the distance-proportional fare charged to the elderly is calculated based on this, and the fare is distributed by reflecting the connected railway revenue allocation principle of the metropolitan subway operating agencies. As a result of conducting a case study for before and after COVID-19 in 2019 and 2020, it is analyzed that Seoul Metro's annual free loss of 360 billion won could be reduced 6~8% at the morning peak (07:00-08:59), and 13~16% at the morning and afternoon peak (18:00-19:59).
