This study aims to anal yze the social benefits of introducing a sel ective demol ition system for buil dings. Incremental revenue, incremental cost, and incremental profit for the entire nation were derived based on the calculated costs and revenues of selective demolition for a 2,400 m² apartment complex. In conducting selective demolition on a 2,400 m² building, the increase in demolition construction costs, the reduction in waste disposal costs due to the decrease in mixed waste, and the revenue obtained from recycling separated and sorted waste were comprehensively reviewed. It was calculated and analyzed that, compared to general demolition work, a total cost-saving effect of 34,727,000 KRW could be expected. Extrapolating this to the entire nation, based on the year 2020, which had the highest construction waste generation, it is estimated that the social benefits would amount to 746,782,886,000 KRW.

Unlike general public investment projects, when it comes to environmental public investment projects, there is a gap between those who pay the costs, and those who receive the benefits. This is because of the long term nature of environmental investments, which entails that the majority of the costs are paid by the current generation, while the benefits are reaped by future generations. Because of this, when the social discount rate is set at a standard, singular rate, an issue of relative underestimation of the benefits reaped by future generations may occur during the analytic process. This paper begins with the recognition of this problem, and attempts to estimate a suitable social discount rate that can be applied to environmental investment projects. Taking into account recent economic situations, the social discount rate is currently being estimated at between 2.9 ~ 4.9%. Also, this paper used preliminary feasibility studies that took place so far, to analyze the standard pattern of benefit generation. This revealed that alterations in social discount rates can bring significant changes in economic feasibility test results. Simulation results showed that roughly 6% of B/C ratios could be increased by 1%p. resulting in a decrease in social discount rates. Also if we use hyperbolic discount rates, instead of using the current singular rate, there would be a meaningful increase in the benefits for the future generation.

거래 시 발생하는 잔돈들로 인해 이용자들은 소지의 불편함이 있고 서랍속에서 잠자고 있는 동전들로 인해 연간 수억 원의 동전 발행 비용이 발생하고 있다. 본 시스템은 스마트 기기들을 이용한 사용자들을 대상으로 잔돈을 적립하여 기부하기, 선물하기, 구매하기 등의 시스템을 설계하고 이를 테스트하였다. 본 시스템은 기본적인 잔돈 적립 및 소비 기능 외에 가맹점이 확보되지 않은 상태에서 사용자 앱을 테스트할 수 있도록 설계한 부분과 SNS와 연계되어 커뮤니티를 활용할 수 있다는 것이 특이점이다. 본 시스템을 통해서 이용자들의 편의성과 만족, 동전 발행이라는 사회적 비용 절감, 기부문화의 확산 등을 기대하고 있다.

공업화 및 인구의 도시집중에 의해 사회간접자본 확충 및 주택 보급에 따라 건설 공사는 해마다 늘어나고 있으며 그에 따라 여러 가지 사회적인 문제점을 야기하고 있다. 여러 문제점 중에서도 건설현장의 특성상 여러 가지 기계 장비를 사용하고 있는바, 많은 소음이 발생하여 주변 거주자들의 생활의 질을 떨어뜨리고 심하게는 정신적 육체적 고통을 주고 있다. 그에 따라 건설현장은 주변사회로부터 많은 민원을 겪고 있으며 민원 처리비용으로 많은 비용을 지출하고 있으며 공사의 중단 등 많은 불이익을 당하고 있으며 결국은 공사원가 상승으로 이어지고 있다.(중략)

본 연구는 식품의 이온화 조사 처리기술로 얻을 수 있는 경제적 이득을 정량적으로 보여줄 수 있는 자료를 마련하기 위한 것이다. 이온화 조사가 허용되었거나 앞으로 허용 가능한 농산물의 수확 후 관리 손실 비용을 분석하고, 가공식품의 저장성 향상에 의한 경제적 이득에 대하여 조사하였으며, 식품의 이온화 조사로 예방 할 수 있는 식중독 사고의 정도와 그 사회 경제적 비용절감을 추산하였다. 신선식품의 연간 수확 후 손실 비용은 감자, 마늘, 양파, 고추에 대해 총 1조 1,251억 원으로 추산되었다. 현재 이온화 조사가 허가된 품목(다류, 장류, 조미식품, 드레싱)의 유통기한 초과로 인한 폐기 손실액은 899억 원으로 조사되었다. 현재 이온화 조사가 허용되지는 않았으나 향후 조사품목을 확대하였을 때 포함될 수 있는 품목(식육과 알 가공품, 어육가공품, 건포류, 축산가공품)의 유통기한 초과에 의한 폐기손실액은 총 1,931억 원으로 조사되었다. 식품의 이온화 조사로 예방 가능한 식중독의 보건 사회적 비용을 추산한 결과 이온화 조사로 사멸효과가 큰 E. coli O157, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella spp.에 의한 식중독 감소 효과로 연간 880억 원의 보건 사회적 비용 감소효과를 가져올 것으로 보여지며, 전체 세균성 식중독으로 확대하여 분석 한 결과 1,790억 원의 비용 감소효과를 가져올 것으로 추산되었다. 이온화 조사 처리기술은 식중독 예방에 의한 보건의료비의 절감 기능과 아울러 식품산업의 유통손실 절감과 식량 유실을 막는 효과적인 방법이므로 식량안보적 차원에서 적극 활용되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to incorporate substitution effects between different transport modes in optimal road Pricing, relating economic theories and models have been reviewed. It includes unconstrained optimization problem of maximizing separable and non-separable social net benefit functions of different substitutable urban transport modes. In doing that, the problem and limitations such as path-independent conditions with the asymmetric Jacobian of the objective function have been reviewed. Consequently, a plausible way of deriving optimal road price under interdependent market conditions has been suggested so that the idea can help identifying desirable and acceptable urban transport policy alternatives in a more comprehensive way.

It is important to estimate the future maintenance budget of all SOC infrastructure at the national strategic level. In this study, Based on a currently available statistics data, we predicted future maintenance investment for all SOC infrastructure in Korea. We have studied the applicable prediction models, and we developed the prediction models that can calculated the future maintenance cost by a real expenditure date. The subjects of facilities are bridges, tunnels, pavements, harbors, dams, airports, water supply, rivers and port. As a result of total estimated cost, eight types of SOC infrastructures are about 23 trillion won for the next 10years, and the most expensive facilities are road pavements and bridges.

The purpose of this study is to compare care unit cost among large institutions, small group homes and independent living homes for disabled people. For this purpose, our study adopted cost-analysis method widely being used in the field of accounting. By the analysis on per-person and per-year unit care cost comparison, care cost of large institutions is estimated 15,000 - 20,000 thousands won, small group homes 10,000 - 11,000 thousands won and independent living homes 4,025 thousands won. By this study, discourse of 'larger size means economic efficiency' which is widely supported by politicians and bureaucrats has no grounds in the practice of Korean residential care services. This study is suggesting two folds. Firstly, small and community based homes should be preferred in the future provision policy of residential care homes for disabled people. Secondly, government grants for small community based homes should be increased to the level of amount provided on large institutions.

Foodborne outbreaks frequently occur worldwide and result in huge economic losses. It is the therefore important to estimate the costs associated with foodborne diseases to minimize the economic damage. At the same time, it is difficult to accurately estimate the economic loss from foodborne disease due to a wide variety of cost components. In Korea, there are a limited number of analytical studies attempting to estimate such costs. In this study we investigated the components of economic cost used in foreign countries to better estimate the cost of foodborne disease in Korea. Seven recent studies investigated the cost components used to estimate the cost of foodborne disease in humans. This study categorized the economic loss into four types of cost: direct costs, indirect costs, food business costs, and government administration costs. The healthcare costs most often included were medical (outpatient) and hospital costs (inpatient). However, these cost components should be selected according to the systems and budgets of medical services by country. For non-healthcare costs, several other studies considered transportation costs to the hospital as an exception to the cost of inpatient care. So, further discussion is needed on whether to consider inpatient care costs. Among the indirect costs, premature mortality, lost productivity, lost leisure time, and lost quality of life/pain, grief and suffering costs were considered, but the opportunity costs for hospital visits were not considered in any of the above studies. As with healthcare costs, government administration costs should also be considered appropriate cost components due to the difference in government budget systems, for example. Our findings will provide fundamental information for economic analysis associated with foodborne diseases to improve food safety policy in Korea.
