The traffic accidents at a construction site, which happen due to construction vehicles' frequent access to a construction site, its subsequent conflicts with ordinary vehicles and pedestrians, and inappropriate installation & management of traffic security facilities, have not many proportions in all traffic accidents, but obviously, the accident damage is quite serious when comparing the level of the fatal per one accident. This research conducted an analysis of traffic accident injury severity using Ordered Probit Model in relation to 241 traffic accident cases that occurred caused by construction sites among the traffic accidents that took place in Seoul and Gyeoggi-do region for two years from 2006 until 2007. As a result, the significant variables enough to explain traffic accident injury severity were analyzed to be the state of road surface, linear shape of an accident spot & whether the damaging car belongs to the vehicle for construction, and whether vehicles have access to a construction site at the time of an accident. Through this, this research found out some fact as follows: first, there need to be more aggressive management of the vehicles for construction and a year-round placement of the manpower who can control vehicular access to a construction site. Second, it is necessary to get drivers to recognize the fact that there exists a construction site on the construction section which is on the border of curved roads in advance to prevent a traffic accident, helping to reduce socioeconomic loss & costs incurred by a traffic accident.

A water pipeline buried under the riverbed could be exposed by bed erosion, therefore safe crossing sections should be analyzed for preventing damages due to the exposure of pipelines. In this study, flow and bed changes have been simulated using a two-dimensional numerical model for selecting the optimized section of pipeline crossing in the Geum River. As a result of simulation with the 20-year recurrence flood, sediment deposition has been distributed overall in the channel and bed erosion over 2 m has occurred near bridge piers. For the extreme flood simulation, the channel bed near the bridge piers has been eroded down to the buried depth. Therefore, within 140 m upstream of the bridge piers, bed erosion affects a buried pipeline in safety due to bridge pier effects and the crossing section over 150 m upstream of bridge piers is selected as a safe zone of a water pipeline.

This study was to examine the relationship between suicidal ideation, depression, stress and their parent's socioeconomic status. Nation-wide representative data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009 were used in this study. 904 adolescents with parent were analysed. Parent's socioeconomic status, especially mother's low educational level and the beneficiaries for national basic livelihood security were significant risk factor for adolescents' suicidal ideation. These associations remained significant in multiple logistic regression controlling for all covariates. The findings in the current study support the global literature on the importance of socioeconomic status in promoting adolescent's mental health. Future prevention intervention efforts to improve adolescent's suicide risk will need to take into consideration parent's and household's socioeconomic conditions. Future study is needed to explore the possible proximal risk factors and mediators between parent's socioeconomic status and mental health among adolescents.

The complicated facilities on the ground have begun to be laid under the ground as increasing emphasis on the beauty of cities due to centralization. But, as the kind of the facilities have been concentrated on the narrow area, accidents occur due to the difficulty of maintenance and the inaccuracy of location information. In this study, first we constructed the field test model to compare with the method of underground probing. So, we could know that the electromagnetic induction method and GPR(Ground Penetration Radar) are useful. It was acquired the position information for the underground facilities using a RTK-GPS. As the result, we have analyzed the accurate position of the underground facility and show the way improving accuracy in detecting and surveying comparing with the traditional surveying method. Also, we hope to contribute the effective maintenance and prevention of disasters to the underground facility as using underground facilities 3D position with Arcview and building the DB of exact depth and underground facilities information system.

Recently, three kinds of search robot prototypes were developed to assume the role of fire fighters for search and rescue missions in special disaster areas with high heat, smoke, toxic gases, or radioactivity. To accomplish search missions, these robots should be able to endure heat, overcome various obstacles, suppress fires, and see through dense smoke. This study investigated the heat resistance, practicality, and fire fighting capacity of these robots. The results show that the small and middle-sized robots were resistant to surrounding temperatures of $100{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, and the fire-fighter-riding robot could endure up to $500^{\circ}C$ for half an hour. The fire-fighter-riding robot showed excellent extinguishing performance on an A-10 class fire model, which was extinguished within 3 min. The robots also showed various capacities for overcoming obstacles and are expected to play an active role in various special disaster areas.

서낙동강은 유역면적이 $304.1\;km^2$이고, 유로연장이 18.5 km로서 유역형상이 방사상과 우상의 혼합상으로 비교적 구형을 이루고 있으며, 유역의 평균폭은 동서방향으로 $17{\sim}20\;km$, 남북방향으로는 약 18 km정도이다. 연평균강수량은 1,349 mm이다. 서낙동강은 상류에는 대저수문, 하류에는 녹산수문이 위치하고 있으며, 이와 같은 수문들에 의하여 하천의 유량이 조절되는 호소형 하천이다. 홍수시 유역의 60% 이상이 침수되는 수해 상습지구에 해당되며, 대저수문과 녹산수문에 의해 조절되고 있어 자연적인 하천흐름이 원활하지 않은 정체수역이다. 따라서 장기간 오염물질이 퇴적되고 있으며, 이로 말미암아 수질오염이 매우 심한 곳이기도 하다. 따라서 수문에 의해 조절되는 하천에서는 적절한 하천유지유량의 확보는 물론이고, 하천의 수질악화를 고려한 하천운영 기법의 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 특히, 최근에 화두가 되고 있는 유역의 수량과 수질의 통합 관리를 실현하기 위해서도 하천의 수질뿐만 아니라 어류의 서식환경까지도 고려한 수문 운영기술의 개발이 요구된다. 서낙동강의 수문 개방시기에 맞춰 수질분석을 한 뒤 개방 전, 후의 수질결과를 비교 분석해야 한다. 이와 함께 낙동강 본류의 수질도 함께 분석하여 서낙동강 수질 개선에 필요한 수문운영 방안을 도출해야한다. 수문운영자와 하천수 이용자들은 갈수기 하천 수질악화, 오염물질 누출사고 등이 발생할 때 하천 수질개선 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 보다 많은 유입량을 취수하여 서낙동강에 통수해야 하는데, 이는 향후 녹산수문의 배수펌프장을 활용하면 가능할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 이를 위해서는 낙동강 하구언의 수량감소 문제와 방류량 증가에 따른 녹산수문 하류측의 외해에 대한 환경영향도 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 서낙동강의 수질관리 방안을 도출하기 위하여 수문 유입량 및 방류량 변화에 따른 하천수질 변화를 측정 자료 분석을 통해 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 동적 수질모형 연구에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study concerns with comparing low-dimensional reactor kinetics methods with a three-dimensional kinetics method to be used for safety analysis of light water reactors in order to suggest means of preparing input parameters required for low-dimensional methods. For this purpose a one-dimensional finite difference two-group diffusion theory code ODTRAN and a third-order Hermit polynomial-based point kinetics code POTRAN are developed and used to obtain low-dimensional solutions to the LRA-BWR kinetics benchmark problem. The results are compared with a three-dimensional modified Borresen's coarse-mesh solution of the kinetics problem by CMSNACK code. Through this comparison some simple but practical means of preparing input parameters of low-dimensional kinetics analysis methods are suggested.
