Outdoor advertising signs of sity is recorgnized as the most basic element forming street scenes of city as well as establishing the citys identity in firsthand and secondhand. It has just started by commercial measure but recntly, in the rapid economical growth and diversified social structure a grent number of business have been generated so that is brings an absoluce increage of kind and quantity in outdoor advertising signs. Such quantitative increase has caused now envirenmental city problems so a more effective control of outdoor advertising signs and sophisticatided and logical design is needed. Thus, I would like to set up the direction with street scenes of city can be formed through this study. Firstly, understanding the concept, special features, and strong, weark points of street scenes of city and outdoor advertising signs. Secondly, in present sitiation analysis, studing and comparing the chracteristic of our present outdoor advertising regulations with those of Japanese regulations. Thirdly performing the reserch upon now advertising signs can be influentia in city scenes and thereafter, issuing possible problem censequantly, I would like to suggest the direction of control policy of outdoor advertising signs as following (1). Leading differentiation of each reggion for the solution of environmental and scenic problem. (2). Non-realistic advertising regulation are needed to be amended for uping changing outdoor advertising signs. (3). Advertising problems should be settleed through effectiveness of outdoor advertising signs administration. (4). The problem of advertising agenics should be leaded short term and long term plan. (5). Collection of scenic pollution should be operated for building up a scenic and community consciousness. Therefore, with these suggestion of clear direction of polish, the improvement of city scenes and regional differentiation followed by activated local autonomy system can be induced so that a more beautiful city scenes can be achiveved.

This study aims to examine the outdoor environment of a geriatric hospital and explore its stress-relief impact upon those who utilize it. Post Occupancy Evaluation is employed to assess the effectiveness of a healthcare setting. This study is based on survey questionnaire including the users' perception of outdoor environment, their perceived restorativeness, and quality of life. A total of one hundred and sixty individuals including patients, families and visitors, and healthcare staffs. As a result, it turns out that the therapeutic outdoor environment and its users' health outcomes, such as reststroativeness and quality of life are significantly correlated. In conclusion, the finding of this research seems to demonstrate the potential that the therapeutic outdoor environment has for the improvement of its users' health by enhancing.

Urban green spaces have been contributing to the improvement of environmental, mental, and physical health for humans. In addition, recent studies showed the potential role of vegetation in reducing the amount of crime in inner-city neighborhoods at the micro-scale level. However, little is known about the positive role of urban green areas in improving urban safety at the regional level. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between urban green areas and actual outdoor crime rates, while also considering socio-demographic factors. The study area is the city of Austin, Texas, USA, which consists of 506 block groups. This study utilized socio-demographic factors based on U.S. Census data and vegetation-related factors utilizing GIS and ENVI software. For analyses, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and an ordinary least square (OLS) regression were utilized. The results from ANOVA showed that yearly crime rates per acre for areas having 0%~25% trees in their neighborhoods were 0.46% and 1.05% higher than those of having 25%~50% and >50% trees in the neighborhoods, respectively. The results from the OLS regression represented that income, NDVI and park rates in neighborhoods were negatively associated with the crime rate per acre, whereas the percentage of minorities and the percentage of teenage school dropouts were positively associated with the crime rate per acre. This study implies that urban green areas may help to improve the safety of urban areas.

실리콘 태양전지는 현재 다른 태양전지 셀에 비해서 높은 변환효율 및 우수한 안정성을 가지고 있으며, 상대적으로 가격도 저렴하여 상용으로 판매되는 대다수의 모듈이 실리콘 태양전지를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 태양전지 모듈이 25년 이상 보증을 위해서는 장기 열화메카니즘 연구가 중요시 되고 있다. 따라서 태양전지 모듈을 가속열화하여 높은 내구성을 보유하고 있는지 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 모듈의 옥외실증 시험을 통해 일사량, 기온, 습도, 풍향, 풍속과 같은 환경인자에 따른 모듈의 성능 비교를 통해 모듈의 열화요인에 대하여 분석하였다. MYPGT (Maximal Yield Power Generation Tracking)를 활용하여 모듈의 특성을 정밀하게 측정하며, 빠른 대기환경의 변화에 따른 매시간 태양전지의 전류-전압 특성을 지속적으로 정확하게 측정함으로써 대기환경에서 받는 영향에 대해 분석하였다.

In this paper, an algorithm was developed to construct a vision sensor system that can detect abnormal region under ever changing outdoor environment. The algorithm was implemented on parallel network system consist of multi-processors according as it's properties to enlarge it's features. From experiments using real scenes, the algorithm was adaptive to ever changing outdoor environmental conditions and it was confirmed that the system is robust and effective.

Recent destructions of outdoor signboards have frequently been caused by strong wind, resulting in damage on the property and human livelihood. One of the major causes of the problems is inadequate implementation of structural design code to the outdoor signboards which are vulnerable to wind. This leads to this paper to present the design guideline of wind-resistant outdoor signboards. In order to estimate the design wind speed, basic wind speeds over Korea suggested by KBC(2015)(revision) are corrected with land surface roughness and topography of the terrain and installation height of the signboard. This paper also suggested the procedure of wind load estimation for different types of outdoor signboards; wall attached type, wall ribbed type and ground erected type. Since the process involves complex calculation to some extent, this paper presents summarized version of wind load estimation from non-professional point of view.

This paper is discussed about the technology of the performance enhancement in the wireless communication between indoor and outdoor environments. In the outdoor wireless communication, the signal has mainly a severe degradation by the fading effect of channel, but that problem may be overcome by using ordinary multiple antenna technology and array signal processing algorithm. Hence, since the channel has the characteristics of both fading and angle spread in the wireless communication between indoor and outdoor, the ordinary technology cannot solve the signal degradation due to the angle spread. In order to solve the problem, in this paper, the characteristic of the wireless channel between indoor and outdoor is first analyzed and considered the channel models fit to that case. We propose the new multiple antenna algorithm by use of mean steering vector concept, and obtained the results of the performance enhancement. With the results of the performance analyses through of the numerical study and computer simulation, we show that the proposed algorithm has more enhanced signal to noise ratio than the previous algorithm.

Deterioration of the outdoor thermal environment in urban areas such as heat island has become worse due to urbanization and overpopulation, etc. In this study, a new method which is coupled simulation of convection and radiation to evaluate outdoor thermal environment in urban area will be proposed. Because the solar radiation affects on outdoor thermal environment massively, therefore the radiation calculation is very important in outdoor thermal environment prediction. The coupled simulation proposed in this study can assess the outdoor thermal environment with accurate.

Since most of the existing CFD simulation about thermal environment was limited as indoor environment, it is not appropriate to adopt the same method for external thermal environment, because the solar radiation highly affect the outdoor thermal environment. Thus, in case of assessing the outdoor thermal environment, the radiation calculation is very important. In this study, as a new method to evaluate the outdoor thermal environment, coupled simulation of convection and radiation will be proposed.
