This study aims to examine the structure and meaning of the perception of rural amenity which rural and urban residents have. Many Lickert scaled questions measure how much important the respondents think about the various items related to rural amenity respectively. It reveals that there is not meaningful difference in the relative importance among three upper dimensions composing the construct of rural amenity, historic-cultural dimension, natural environmental dimension and living condition dimension. This means that our respondents are not willing to pursue historic-cultural aspects and natural environmental aspects at the risk of living condition being able to enjoy comfortable and affluent opportunities. And also, this results reveals that people might have a quite different perception compared with academic discourse putting much weight on historic-cultural dimension and natural environmental dimension.

This study determines the stream mean slope, stream slope and longitudinal stream profile based on the concept of informational entropy. Maximizing the entropy will make the probability distribution of longitudinal stream profile as uniform as possible while satisfying the constraints. Using this relationships the mean stream slope, stream slope and longitudinal stream profile formulas were derived. The parameters of the applied streams were estimated by the least square method using the geomorphological factors of Dalchon stream basin obtained from Chungcheong Buk-Do local stream consolidation scheme drawings. The comparative investigation was performed between the observed and simulated mean stream slope and longitudinal stream profile, and are in good agreement with the measured data. It is noted that this results can be used in the estimation of stream mean slope and longitudinal stream profile.

정확하고 신뢰성 높은 유량 자료는 수자원의 정량적인 계획과 관리에 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 Chiu는 기존의 결정론적인 흐름 방향 유속분포식의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로 확률통계에서 사용되는 엔트로피 개념을 이용한 3차원 유속분포 식을 제안하였고, 이를 실험실 테이터와 자연하천에 적용하여 신뢰성과 정확성을 지속적으로 증명하여, 마침내 이에 대한 활용성이 매우 크게 대두되어 Chiu의 유속공식을 적극적으로 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 지금까지 이론적인 유속 분포식을 검증하기위하여 단면 형상이 일정한 직사각형이나 사다리꼴 등의 실험수로에서부터 불규칙한 단면 형상을 갖는 자연 하천에 대한 적용을 거의 이루고 있는 실정이나, 하상경사가 변하는 경우에도 엔트로피 파라미터(M)가 이에 대응하여 평형상태에 도달하려고 하는지에 대한 연구는 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 하상경사를 임의로 변경 가능한 실험수로를 선택하여 정밀법에 의한 유속측정을 실시하였다. 같은 지점의 같은 단면에서 하상경사($\theta$)가 0.00069부터 0.019034까지 28번의 경사변화를 주고 각 경사마다 유량을 측정하여 28개의 유량측정 데이타를, Chiu의 엔트로피 유속공식에 적용하여, 평균유속과 최대유속 사이의 관계가 선형관계, 즉 하상경사가 변하는 경우에도 엔트로피 파라미터(M)가 이에 대응하여 평형상태에 도달함을 증명하였다.

This paper considers the allocation and engagement scheduling of air defense missiles by using MIP (mixed integer programming). Specifically, it focuses on developing a realistic MIP model for a real battle situation where multiple enemy missiles are headed toward valuable defended assets and there exist multiple air defense missiles to counteract the threats. In addition to the conventional objective such as the minimization of surviving target value, the maximization of total intercept altitude is introduced as a new objective. The intercept altitude of incoming missiles is important in order to minimize damages from debris of the intercepted missiles and moreover it can be critical if the enemy warhead contains an atomic or chemical bomb. The concept of so called the time window is used to model the engagement situation and a continuous time is assumed for flying times of the both missiles. Lastly, the model is extended to simulate the situation where the guidance radar, which guides a defense missile to its target, has the maximum guidance capacity. The initial mathematical model developed contains several non-linear constraints and a non-linear objective function. Hence, the linearization of those terms is performed before it is solved by a commercially available software. Then to thoroughly examine the MIP model, the model is empirically evaluated with several test problems. Specifically, the models with different objective functions are compared and several battle scenarios are generated to evaluate performance of the models including the extended one. The results indicate that the new model consistently presents better and more realistic results than the compared models.

The calibration of resistance factor in reliability theory for limit state design of gravel compaction piles (GCP) requires a reliable estimate of ultimate bearing capacity. The static load test is commonly used in geotechnical engineering practice to predict the ultimate bearing capacity. Many graphical methods are specified in the design standard to define the ultimate bearing capacity based on the load-settlement curve. However, it has some disadvantages to ensure reliability to obtain an uniform ultimate load depend on engineering judgement. In this study, a well-fitting nonlinear regression model is proposed to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity, for which a nonlinear regression analysis is applied to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of GCP and the results are compared with those calculated using previous graphical method. Affect the resistance factor of the estimate method were analyzed. To provide a database in the development of limit state design, the load test conditions for predicting the ultimate bearing capacity from static load test are examined.

An agent is a software element that, by making use of knowledge and inference, performs tasks on behalf of the user. In general, an agent has the properties of autonomy, social ability, reactivity, and durability. Many researches on agents are more and more aiming at the multiagent systems since it is not sufficient to let a single agent do the whole things, especially in a real world where tasks require many diverse activities. However, the multiagent frameworks still have some limitations in the processing of user queries that are often ambiguous and goal-oriented. Also, a series of procedures or plans could not be generated from a single query directly. In order to give more intelligence to the multiagent framework, we propose a method of extending the framework with a plan generation module. The open agent architecture (OAA), which is a multiagent framework that we developed, is integrated with UCPOP, which is a AI planner. A travel schedule management agent (TSMA) system is implemented to explore the effects of the method. The extended system enables the user to only specify goal-oriented queries, and the plans and procedures to satisfy these goals are generated automatically. Also, this system provides a cooperative and knowledge-sharing environment that integrates several knowledge-based systems and planning systems that are distributed and used independently.

The major reason to construct large dams is to store surplus water during rainy seasons and utilize it for water supply in dry seasons. Reservoir storage has to meet a pre-defined target to satisfy water demands and cope with a dry season when the availability of water resources are limited temporally as well as spatially. In this study, a Hedging rule that reduces total reservoir outflow as drought starts is applied to alleviate severe water shortages. Five stages for reducing outflow based on the current reservoir storage are proposed as the Hedging rule. The objective function is to minimize the total discrepancies between the target and actual reservoir storage, water supply and demand, and required minimum river discharge and actual river flow. Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is used to develop a multi-reservoir operation system with the Hedging rule. The developed system is applied for the Han River basin that includes four multi-purpose dams and one water supplying reservoir. One of the fours dams is primarily for power generation. Ten-day-based runoff from subbasins and water demand in 2003 and water supply plan to water users from the reservoirs are used from "Long Term Comprehensive Plan for Water Resources in Korea" and "Practical Handbook of Dam Operation in Korea", respectively. The model was optimized by GAMS/CPLEX which is LP/MIP solver using a branch-and-cut algorithm. As results, 99.99% of municipal demand, 99.91% of agricultural demand and 100.00% of minimum river discharge were satisfied and, at the same time, dam storage compared to the storage efficiency increased 10.04% which is a real operation data in 2003.

The overall area of Taiwan is 36,006 km$^2$ and population was about 22,535,000 persons in 2003. The population density became 625persons/km$^2$. The economic of Taiwan progress since 1970. Gross national production in 2004 increased by 2.3 trillion or 493% relative to 1981. The number of automobiles in 1981 was 821,862, and increase to 6,389,186 in 2004. The number of motorcycles in 1981 were 4,591,547 and increase to 12,793,950 in 2004. The vehicle growth rate of automobile and motorcycle was 677% and 178% respectively. The recycling end-of-life vehicles(ELVs) is specified in the Waste Disposal Act. Its main content is the system of asking the vehicle manufacturer and importing agents, who are responsible for recycling of the ELVs. The recycling task on ELVs was startedinitially in 1993. It is required that the manufacturers and importing agents deposit certain ratios of Waste Vehicle Disposal Fees proportional to the number of vehicle they manufacture and import into Taiwan under sales. This report will introduce the current status of ELVs recycling in Taiwan, and the future direction, as well as measures proceeding for the EPA- Fund Management Committee(RMFC) operating in the fiture.

We summarize the status of exploitable groundwater reserves in Korea based on reports of the National Basic Groundwater Plan, and review methods for estimating groundwater recharge rates, as recharge is a key factor in the estimation of exploitable groundwater reserves. We also outline the various methods used to assess exploitable groundwater reserves in previous groundwater investigation reports. Regarding advancements in the estimation of exploitable groundwater, we recommend that enhanced estimation methodologies (e.g., the water balance method and the advanced water table fluctuation method) and sustainable groundwater management concepts be adopted in the near future.

증발산은 지표면으로부터의 증발이나 식물에 의한 증산에 의해 유역으로부터 물이 제거되는 주요 기작으로서, 유역 물수지 관점에서 보았을 때 강수량과 증발산량의 차이로부터 유출이나 함양되는 양을 추정할 수 있다. 제주도의 경우에는 수자원 이용량의 약 84%를 지하수에 의존하고 있으며, 한편으로 제주도의 지질학적 특성으로 인해 일정 규모 이하의 강수량은 지표유출이나 중간유출의 과정없이 대부분 지하로 침투되기 때문에, 증발산량을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 지하수 함양량의 추정과 제주도 전체 수자원 계획에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 정확한 증발산량 파악을 위해서는 지속적인 관측과 전문적인 계측장비 등에 의한 직접적인 방법이 있으나 광범위한 유역 단위의 관측값을 확보하는 것이 현실적으로 어렵기 때문에, 물수지법, 열수지법, 공기역학적방법 및 조합방법 등의 간접적인 방법이 많이 활용되고 있다. 간접적인 방법으로 많이 활용되고 있는 Penman-Monteith 법은 일 단위 기반의 정확도 높은 증발산량을 추정할 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 작물생육단계 및 토양수분, 기상 등 많은 변수들에 대한 입력을 요구하고 있기 때문에 복잡한 모델링 과정을 수반하게 되는 단점을 내포하고 있다. 반면, Morton (1978)의 CRAE (Complementary Relationship Areal Evapotranspiration)나 Priestly and Taylor (1973)의 AA (Advection-Aridity)와 같이 잠재증발산량과 실제증발산량간의 보완관계를 이용하는 방법은 지역적인 인자 또는 가용 수분에 대한 조건없이 몇 가지 기상자료만으로 유역의 증발산량을 산정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 지역의 4개 하천유역(한천, 천미천, 강정천, 외도천)을 대상으로, Penman-Monteith 법을 적용한 SWAT 모델링를 통해 얻어진 유역의 실제증발산량과 잠재증발산량으로부터, 고도에 따른 기상특성을 반영하여 증발산 보완관계를 검토하였다.
