An economic evaluation was conducted using cost-benefit analysis for an integrated service platform of open access research articles. The data needed for benefit measurement were collected by conducting a series of surveys to service beneficiaries, including 1,313 academic researchers, 49 bio-industry researchers, and 102 researchers in various industries. Cost-benefit analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted after estimating the total costs for system construction and operations, anticipated direct and indirect benefits. With respect to the cost-benefit analysis limited to direct benefits, the estimated benefit was KRW 82 billion, which is about 14 times of the total costs for eight years of the entire business period. With respect to the cost-benefit analysis for both direct and indirect benefits, BCR was estimated to be about 98.9 and NPV to be KRW 538.8 billion, indicating that economic feasibility of the project was sufficiently secured. The results of this analysis may help securing the investment to the integrated service platform for OA research products, and the benefit estimation model developed in this study would be utilized as an assessment tool during the rest of this project.

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of installing a storage facility and make recommendations based on a cost-benefit analysis regarding the installation of a storage facility capable of preventing both floods and droughts. The capacity and installation costs are specified for the storage facility necessary to prevent floods, and a cost-benefit analysis is conducted by calculating the costs and benefits for each cost or benefit factor such as loss amounts, recovery costs, and drought prevention. The information can be used as the basic data for suggesting the feasibility of installing a multipurpose storage facility capable of preventing floods and droughts simultaneously. Also, this study expects to utilize its detailed results in a number of different ways including the prediction of loss amounts from natural disasters.

This study estimated indirect economic benefits of the introduction of Korean Spatial Information System. Korean academic society has been reluctant to consider indirect benefits as an item of benefits in cost-benefit analysis. Nevertheless, other countries including England recommend to consider some indirect benefits like option value as an important item of cost-benefit analysis, especially in the case of transportation projects. This study estimated indirect benefits of the introduction of Korean Spatial Information System using Contingent Valuation Methods: Indirect benefits of the project are so significant in terms of statistics and substantial in terms of magnitude that decision making can differ from the case without consideration of such indirect benefits.

The concept of HSA (Home Service Aggregator) is derived from performing the energy IT business efficiently as well as successfully launcing a new service based on BPL (Broadband over Power Line). The HSA business using a BPL can extend the field of energy industry and an give a chance to create a new demand by consumer-oriented services. This study focuses on the exact evaluation of HSA business using BPL, and reasonable trusty evaluation should be the first step to launch the HSA business. In this study, the categories of cost are comprised of equipment (mainly RSM and MGW) cost, instalation cost, and maintenance cost. AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), internet integration billing service, integration charging service, internet service, sorority service, and electricity safety are listed for benefit. In this study, the ROI of HSA business is 0.9594, which is less than 1. However, that value does not consider the electricity safety benefit which is classified as a social benefit. Therefore, the value can be above 1 if it includes social and private benefits.

This study was attempted to give aids in making 'the Disability Discrimination Act' by estimating the potential Cost-Benefit in case that the discrimination on the disabled is removed. The potential benefits from this Disability Discrimination Act are calculated considering the income increase of the people with disabilities from additional employment for them and the decrease of employment levies and the public assistance benefits. The potential cost was made focusing on the following 2 expenses- the extra expenditures that the owners of companies had to invest from the employment of the disabled and the managing expenses for correcting discrimination organizations. As the result of this estimation, the potential net present value under the 7% discount rate is very high as 12,700,301 million won and the cost-benefit ratio is also great as 96.8. The consequence of the sensitive analysis in changing the discount rate also does not have great changes. As the result of these estimating results, it is known that when the discrimination is solved by the 'Disability Discrimination Act', the pure benefit of our society will become tremendous. After all, it could be said that the need for 'the Disability Discrimination Act' is emphasized and should be emphasized.

교통사고는 인적피해, 물적피해, 사회적피해와 거시적으로는 심리적 피해까지 일으키며 많은 비용을 발생시킨다. 이처럼 교통사고로 인해 발생하는 다양한 피해요소를 비용으로 환산하여 추정하는 것은 교통안전사업의 절감편익을 산정하거나 기타 교통관련사업의 효과를 적용하기 위하여 활용할 수 있다. 하지만 현재까지 이루어진 사고비용 산출에 대한 연구론은 1당사자와 2당사자 구분없이 사고 전체를 아우르는 피해비용을 산출하는 방식의 접근 방법과, 사상자 1인 기준으로 발생되는 피해비용을 산출하는 방식의 접근 방법으로 나뉘며, 두 접근방법 모두 비용분석의 대상을 단일 객체로 간주하고 분석하는 한계를 지니고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 특정한 상호작용효과가 있을 것으로 예상되는 고연령 구간을 확인한 뒤 고연령 구간과 전체 연령 구간 사이에서 발생된 사고를 비교분석하여 1당사자와 2당사자가 모두 고연령 구간일 때 추가로 발생되는 사고비용을 산출 및 검정함으로서 고령자 사고감소효과 및 절감편익에 활용될 수 있는 상호작용 효과에 따른 추가 절감편익을 산출하였다.

This study proposed a method to analyze the economic benefit of the national map revision program using the replacement cost method. The replacement cost method measures the benefit of a project as the minimum cost to replace functions of the project with those of alternative goods or services in an existing market. Thus, the demands on 1/5,000 topographic map revision in 18 administrative tasks such as city and district management planning were surveyed in three local autonomous entities. Then the cost to alternatively fulfill the demands was estimated with the standard construction estimating system for the field surveying and surveying results in commercial GIS companies for the site investigation. With this cost estimation model, the benefit of the current national map revision program to the local autonomous entities was estimated as 265,960,999 won. And cost benefit ratios according to several revision frequencies from 0.5 to 4 year were also compared to find the optimal frequency.

Our study identifies a cost and a benefit incurred in implementing an investment project to offer new public services by use of food waste disposers and direct input of feces in sewers. This is done with identifying costs of each processing division and benefits of the project by objective statistical data and engineering perspective. In summary, cost items identified are as follows: there are house laterals, removal of septic tanks, etc. for sewer pipes system. As to water quality conservation, cost incurs in storm water outfalls and divert chambers, sewage storage tanks, equipment to treat sewer overflows, and so on. With respect to sewage treatment plants(STPs), there are so many items as increase of contaminant loads in influent of STPs, and other items. There are benefit items in health improvement due to odor mitigation, increase of energy productivity, saving cost of food waste treatment and cleaning septic tanks, etc. These estimates will be used as a basic data for its economic effect.
