This study measured for comparison and analysis the correlation of River pollution and Soil contamination, based on the results of previous research, and then in order to increase the efficiency of study, heavy metals which cause serious side effects was limited to the case among pollutants. This study focused on the rivers that near the Urban and industrial districts, for example, Nak-Dong river, An-Yang river, Tae-Hwa river and the rivers that near the farm land or pasture, for example, Yeong-San river, Mi-Ho river, then compare and analyze the degree of actual pollution as gathered the results of Previous research. Correlationship about pollutants of river near the Urban, industrial area and drainage basin its river has been proven, and this expected because of the strong influence by point pollution source. On the other hand, I can found the opposite relationship where the river near the farm land or pasture, and this probably because of the influence by nonpoint pollution source.

Detecting rebars in side the concrete structures is one of the important steps in assessing condition of the structure. In order to determine the detection capability of locating rebars inside the concrete, two types of equipments, which use radar system and electromagnetic system each, were tested. Four concrete specimens which have the dimensions of $1,000mm(length){\times}300mm(width)$ with different thickness and diameter of steel bars were applied. A series of testing was achieved after drying in air for 90 days, immersed in water for 3, 24, 48 hour and 28 day. From the experimental outcome, it is shown that error is increased as the diameter of rebar enlarge in case of electromagnetic method. In case of radar method, the detection of embedded rebars in deep is good in the view of reliability. As moisture content increase from 3.6% to 5.5%, the relative permittivity of concrete test specimens show tendency to increase, too. Therefore, it is shown that moisture content is one of the major contributing factors to determine the relative permittivity. And the relative permittivity regression equation is suggested.

This study predicts the stress history for truss bridge with local damages by using global-local model combination method. For this end, the global structure is modeled by 3D frame elements and the selected local details are modeled by shell elements. Then superposition principle enable the global-local model to be combined interactively. Because the frame model cannot consider the rigidity of gusset plate and the interation of structural members due to the complexity of stress distribution in truss connection. The section modification factors are proposed to calibrate the stiffness of global frame element. The global-local model combination is verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental data obtained from the proof loading test to the operating truss bridge. Furthermore, stress histrories of the truss bridge are generated in the consideration of the rigidity of truss connection with local damage by using the combination method.

Sliding accidents on the road have a high percentage by road freezing, especially, they often have appeared at bridges and Tunnel of freezing areas. Thus, the stability of road operations is enhanced by preventing partial freezing phenomenon. According to the geothermal snow melting system analysis, a pattern of thermal conductivity is found out; pavement materials of concrete and asphalt where the system is buried. The heat transfer simulation is essential when the geothermal snow melting system is applied according to heating exchanger pipe placed in the lower pavements. The model tests are conducted on low temperature in freezer using the manufactured test model which is equal to pavement materials. Many variables are discovered from numerical analyses under the same conditions with model test.

Ontake Volcano, Japan, began to erupt without any precursors on September 27, 2014, at 11:52 AM, and it caused many losses of life. Although Japan's preparation manual and prevention for volcanic eruptions and volcanic hazards has been well established, it could not prevent damage due to the sudden eruption of the volcano. Soon after the eruption, however, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) led many organizations and institutions, including JMA's Volcanic Eruption Prediction Liaison Council, Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) and National Agriculture and Food Research Organization and they understood the eruption situation quickly and shared the information based on their close cooperation and contact systems. Through these efforts, JMA published the unified result to the public, informing the public of the situation around the volcano and about the eruption and of how the residents and climbers around the volcano should react to the volcanic hazards caused by the eruption. The Korean Government can learn how to respond to a future eruption of a volcano, such as Mt. Baekdu which has the potential to erupt in the foreseeable future.

Pedestrian environment not only affects the quantitative degree in pedestrian movement, but also an impact on the local economics and environment that speaks within the greater dialogue of the qualitative life in an urban context. Recent urban planning issues have matured from a linear street development to a conversion of pedestrian friendly streets that synchronizes the entire pedestrian movement structures as a whole. Subject cases, Myung-Dong and Kwanchul-Dong, were selected from time regulated pedestrian streets in Seoul. Analysis of these streets was done through field studies and interviews. From the research, the outcome was helpful in providing the developers a greater perspective with the pedestrian movement structure that is not confined to a certain parameter, but in a larger scale within the urban environment. It was also useful in justifying ambiguous locations of pedestrian-only streets and crosswalks. Also, It aided in planning optimal scheme that concurs with the predictable pedestrian movement.

The cigarette holds more than 10 percents of the entire fire accidents despite the number of smokers rapidly decreases every year. The purpose of this study is to examine the ignition characteristics of cigarette by experimentation. This study analyzed the cases of fires inferred that they were caused by cigarette in Incheon during 2006. As the representative ignition materials, corrugated board, gasoline, lacquer thinner, tarpaulin, flexible PVC sheet, and poly ethylene were tested. In this experimentation, the corrugated board was ignited by cigarette. However gasoline, lacquer thinner, tarpaulin, flexible PVC sheet, and poly ethylene were seldom ignited. Meanwhile most fire investigators have argued that oils and tents were ignited by cigarette, but this study experimentally proved that such an argument might be ungrounded.

This study focuses on assessing the security ri sk or the terrorism in chemical process industries. This research modifies conventional method for assessing the terrorism risk. The risk assessment method is developed and it is implemented as software to analyze the possibility of terrorism and sabotage. This program includes five steps; asset characterization, threat assessment, vulnerability analysis, risk assessment and new countermeasures. It is a systematic, risk based approach in which risk is a function of the severity of consequences of an undesired event, the likelihood of adversary attack, and the likelihood of adversary success in causing the undesired event. The reliability of the program is verified using a dock zone case. The case dock zone includes a storage farm, a manufacturing plant, an electrical supply utility, a hydrotreater unit, many containers, and administration buildings. This study represents chemical terrorism response technology, the prevention plan, and new countermeasure to mitigate by using risk assessment methods in the chemical industry and public sector. This study suggests an effective approach to the chemical terrorism response management.

Operational continuity is not a simple issue that can be solved by a Back-Up center or an alternate site. Strategic issues including law, standards, etc demand a new approach in terms of the operational continuity management (OCM). Also, it is necessary to develop a new framework of OCM governance as a part of the corporate governance. Experts from corporate governance insist that OCM can be included in the corporate operational control and so it is important to set up a strategy for OCM in the organization. This paper describes how OCM governance suggests two aspects of effectively controlling corporate risks in the viewpoint of corporate governance. First of all, the top corporate management develops the strategy of operational continuity with regard to the corporate governance. Secondly, there is the aspect of how to build up and manage the strategy of operational continuity in the corporations.

Studying the operation of urban control plan and control program of urban plan facilities to present development direction of urban plan in the future by performing multi-variate analysis, the research acquired the following conclusion. It is required to institutionally activate the inhabitants' participation by reflecting spontaneous participation and opinion of inhabitants to adminstration so that the effect of business can be maximized in the stage of establishing urban control plan. Furthermore, the participation of role dividing type is necessary to adjust and connect the interest of expert that has experience in practical business of overall urban plan, inhabitant and self-governing body. It is required to reduce the service supplied by government so as to enhance policy of plan-first and development last for facilities with high importance and utility such as road, park and water supply/sewage, etc as well as to seek control program that expands the participation of private sector for administration for which private service is possible.
