The purpose of this study is to examine the features of children poverty in Korea. Using the 7th Korean Welfare Panel Study, this study conducts latent class analysis to classify households with children. Results show that households with children are classified into three types: 1) housing expenditure overburdened households, 2) multidimensional deprivation households, 3) non-poverty households. The housing expenditure overburdened households have higher rates of housing expenditures than the other two groups. The multidimensional deprivation households experience various types of deprivation such as food insecurity, poor housing, and unstable job security for householders. The results imply that comprehensive approaches are needed to address multiple problems which poor households with children suffer.

The statistical analysis of collected data was enforced through T-test, ANOVA and Crosstabs with SPSS 19.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the group with disabilities has presumed to be in relative poverty given that disposable income, academic career and total living expenses showed lower than the other group. Second, the component ratios of domestic foods and housing expenses of disabled group showed higher but those of specific spending items of expenditure such as social activities, reserving fund of social security for economic safety net, clothing and eating out expenses showed lower than the other group.

This study was attempted in order to offer basic data for enhancing oral health by surveying the activity limitation realities caused by oral disease in university students and then by analyzing its relevant factors. As a result of research, university students' activity limitation experience rate accounted for 24.1%. The average number of activity limitation days stood at 0.44 day. Matters related to university students' activity limitation included housing type as for socio-demographic characteristics, and busyness in daily life, difficulty for supplying school expenses, temporal burden given using dental treatment, and difficulty for transportation given using dental treatment as for individual characteristics. In case of feeling difficulty for raising school expenses, the possibility was indicated to be high in activity limitation experience, illness experience, experience of having trouble in performing schoolwork, and schoolwork loss experience. Also, in case of feeling difficulty for transportation given using dental treatment, the possibility was indicated to be high in experiencing a trouble in performing schoolwork and a loss of schoolwork. Accordingly, a national interest and support are earnestly demanded in order to establish the more systematized oral health level and to increase oral health promotion.

As people pays more attention to remodeling as a method to effectively improve, maintain, and manage building properties, it is important to ensure the economic feasibility of remodeling compared to reconstruction, instead of focusing on systematic regulations. In order to identify core technologies, the study set criteria to survey cost of a remodeling project by analyzing current status of remodeling projects. Based on the criteria, the study calculated average construction cost for five remodeling projects that were conducted recently, compared the cost with new construction projects, and examined major level works that are essential in a remodeling project. Based on the major level works, the study conducted interviews with construction experts to draw core technologies in design, structure and construction of a remodeling project.

This study suggests optimal policy options for collection of used diapers through benchmarking of foreign countries and perception surveys. By conducting a survey, this study can identify the actual problems involved in the collection process and enhance the social acceptance toward diaper recycling policies. As a perception survey result, the economic burden of emission bags and sanitary issues were most important for the collection pilot test. Respondents thought that twice-a-week collection frequency was appropriate and that free emission bags might be preferable to participants. Currently municipal wastes are subject to waste management laws, which are applied by local governments. Diaper waste is categorized with municipal waste, so it seems to be treated by municipal waste systems. In terms of connection with government, possible alternatives were suggested to identify the relevant local government. Useful data could be obtained, to determine the economical viability of any future diaper recycling system implementation in the entire Seoul metropolis and adjacent areas of dense population.

The Korean construction industry has been implementing G-SEED, a certification system that evaluates the environmental properties of buildings for the purpose of reducing environmental burdens such as energy and resource consumption and pollutant emissions. Also, creating a pleasant environment in general is one more purpose of G-SEED certification system. However, G-SEED certification in practice is difficult and time consuming due to the complexity of the certification acquisition process coupled with little economic consideration for the materials of each certification item. Therefore, in this study, we present a model for the optimal selection of materials and economic assessment using a genetic algorithm. The development of the model involves building a material database based on life-cycle costing (LCC) targeted at "Application of Indoor Air Pollutant Low Emission Material" from G-SEED. Next, the model was validated using a real non-residential building case study. The result shows an average cost reduction rate of 74.5 % compared with the existing cost. This model is expected to be used as an economically efficient tool in G-SEED.
