Advanced construction technologies have been rarely applied to practical construction operations on jobsites due to a lack of quantified evaluation data of the performance of such technologies. The basic objective of this study is to suggest a feasible way for the evaluation of the performance of new technologies based on construction simulation techniques, which have been frequently used in academic research for productivity estimation. Steel staircase systems were selected as the new technology to be investigated. The simulation was implemented in various ways, such as one staircase to six staircases on a floor. The simulation results provided in this study suggest that planners are able to make a fundamental decision on the use of targeted new technology with the estimated performance data (productivity and unit costs). These findings also indicate that a simulation technique could be one of the methods appropriate for use as a planner's decision-making tool.

Construction industries have increasingly utilized Building information Modeling (BIM) technologies. Interoperability - the capability for BIM data to run from one computer application to another in the life cycle of a project has become one of the principal research areas. Enhancing interoperability inevitably requires information structures that are standardized throughout the construction industries. As a candidate of the data exchange standard, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has been developed and several researches recently performed to measure its richness of digital data exchange. But doubts have been brought up whether IFC meets a sufficient level of interoperability since the research result revealed a number of cases of information misrepresentation and loss. This research presents the lessons learned from the interoperability tests of three widely used 3D design applications including Graphisoft's Archicad, Autodesk's Revit, and Bentley's Bentley Architecture. One building's architectural and structural design data were modeled with the three tools and exchanged through IFC respectively for interoperability test.

In this paper, we present a facial expression recognition-synthesis system that recognizes 7 basic emotion information automatically and renders face with non-photorelistic style in PDA For the recognition of the facial expressions, first we need to detect the face area within the image acquired from the camera. Then, a normalization procedure is applied to it for geometrical and illumination corrections. To classify a facial expression, we have found that when Gabor wavelets is combined with enhanced Fisher model the best result comes out. In our case, the out put is the 7 emotional weighting. Such weighting information transmitted to the PDA via a mobile network, is used for non-photorealistic facial expression animation. To render a 3-D avatar which has unique facial character, we adopted the cartoon-like shading method. We found that facial expression animation using emotional curves is more effective in expressing the timing of an expression comparing to the linear interpolation method.

This paper describes the development of a decision support system (DSS) for the real time reservoir operation that aims to maximize the flood control effect. In the decision support system, model base and real time data processing subsystem are included along with the graphical user interface(GUI) that is able to visualize the forecasted runoff hydrographs at the flood control points and reservoir water levels resulting from the model run as well as the current hydrologic status. The system was verified through the pseudo real time applications to the Taechong reservoir operation with the historical flood events of the Kum river basin occurred in July, 1987 and August, 1995, Decision making processes were performed using the developed system and the results were compared with the real operations at that time. The reservoir operation using the pseudo real time application of DSS were simulated by the flood runoff simulation model, that shows the reservoir operation by DSS were successful in flood control for the lower Kum River.

특정 지역에 집중적으로 비가 내리는 현상인 국지성호우가 빈번히 발생함에 따라 하천 주변 사회기반시설의 침수 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 침수 위험성 판단 여부는 주로 수위정보를 이용하며 수위 예측은 대부분 수치모형을 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 빅데이터 기반의 RNN(Recurrent Neural Networks)기법 알고리즘을 활용하여 수위를 예측하였다. 연구대상지는 조위의 영향을 많이 받는 한강 전역을 대상으로 하였다. 2008년~2018년(10개년)의 실제 침수 피해 실적을 조사한 결과 잠수교, 한강대교, 청담대교 등에서 침수 피해 발생률이 높게 나타났고 SNS(Social Network Services)와 같은 비정형화 자료에서는 청담대교가 가장 많이 태그(Tag)되어 청담대교를 연구범위로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서는 Python에서 제공하는 Tensor flow Library를 이용하여 수위예측 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 데이터는 정형화 데이터와 비정형 데이터를 사용하였으며 정형화 데이터는 한강홍수 통제소나 기상청에서 제공하는 최근 10년간의 (2008~2018) 수위 및 강우량 자료를 수집하였다. 비정형화 데이터는 SNS를 이용하여 민간 정보를 수집하여 정형화된 자료와 함께 전체자료를 구축하였다. 민감도 분석을 통하여 모델의 은닉층(5), 학습률(0.02) 및 반복횟수(100)의 최적값을 설정하였고, 24시간 동안의 데이터를 이용하여 3시간 후의 수위를 예측하였다. 2008년~ 2017년 까지의 데이터는 학습 데이터로 사용하였으며 2018년의 수위를 예측 및 평가하였다. 2018년의 관측수위 자료와 비교한 결과 90% 이상의 데이터가 10% 이내의 오차를 나타내었으며, 첨두수위도 비교적 정확하게 예측되는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 수위와 강우량뿐만 아니라 다양한 인자들도 고려한다면 보다 신속하고 정확한 예측 정보를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The repair and maintenance cost of domestic public rental housing is an issue of considerable interest and growing financial concern. This paper suggests a quantity-based model as an alternative method for predicting costs, instead of the conventional model which is based on actual cost data. Furthermore, this paper provides a forecast of the repair costs incurred each year during the multi family house's maintenance phase (40 years). The recently changed the long-term repair plan and quality-improved interior materials were considered into the research. In order to estimate the cost of maintenance work, 5 sample apartments were selected and analyzed. The repair and maintenance cost from the case studies was converted to cost per household and per floor area for general use. On the other hand, the net present value method was applied to reflect the effect of time. We expect that the results will help to establish expenditure plans that are more effective for public rental housing in the maintenance stage.

The importance of social responsibility is growing, and as a result of social awareness, many universities and institutions are carrying out community service activities. Although the volunteer portal site has excellent performance and good accessibility, the overall service performance of a specific organization cannot be managed because of personal information. Almost community service managers of a organization manually manage their community service activities without the support of a community service management program. In this study, have been feature analysis of existing portal site for volunteer coordination, then a prototype was designed and developed as a model of social contribution management system so that universities and organizations can systematically support and manage the social service activities of members based on the questionnaire about social contribution management system.

ESG Investment is emerging as a trend and common sense in the financial market. ESG Investment is an investment method that simultaneously pursue social sustainability and investment returns from a long-term perspective by reflecting non-financial factors such as environment, society and governance in addition to corporate financial performance in investment decisions. This study checked how the characteristics of ESG investment have been changed after Covid-19. Afterwards, it was confirmed that Covid-19 actually acted as a negative factor in the securities market by applying VAR model. At the same time, it was demonstrated that ESG indices of the US and Korea outperformed their benchmark in terms of return and risk during the pandemic regime. The result of this study hints that the importance of ESG investment will be unchanged after Covid-19. At the same time, it suggests that managers should avoid passive ESG management and engage in strategic ESG management based on knowledge management.

This paper attempts to find out implications based on the comparative analysis of overseas expansion model between the Korean insurance companies and the German one. There are three types of the strategies of the overseas-expansion-model of insurer, i.e. customer-oriented localized strategy, niche market-oriented strategy, and growing market-oriented strategy. From the review of related literatures and through an interview conducted by the insurance specialist, the findings are some differences between Korean and German insurance companies, when they go into foreign insurance markets. Th significant differences between Korean and German insurers are a customer oriented localized strategy and niche market oriented strategy. The Korean insurer shows a strength on the overseas-expansion-strategy, but the most clients of the Korean insurer on overseas markets are also Korean companies and Korean immigrants. The Korean legal expenses insurance market is yet in its embryonic stage, while the German legal expenses insurance company is pushing ahead with a strategy focused on localization and niche market on the legal expenses insurance product. In conclusion, like a case of the German legal expenses insurance company, the Korean insurer needs a customer oriented localized strategy as well as a niche market oriented strategy on the overseas insurance market.
