It is not recommended that elevator use for egress at (super) high rise buildings because elevator shaft main roles to spread of fire smoke. But in North America used to protect this area by elevator shaft pressurization. These tests are performed at high rise apartment to verify that elevator shaft pressurization can protect to spread of fire smoke or not. and verify to used for egress at fire. Pressurization at elevator shaft make pressure difference of 50 Pa all floor at 150 CMM because this method have low friction loss from air flow. Also when dwelling door and elevator door are opened that critical velocity is performed to protect of back-layering from fire room for escape routs by 180 CMM. Therefore through out these pressurization tests by elevator shaft are estimated to have less overpressure because supply air difference are low between to satisfy critical velocity at one door opened and maintain to pressure difference all doors closed. Finally we verified that disable or residual people can use elevator for egress at fire by elevator shaft pressurization.

The paper is intended to explore the spatial relations between flooded buildings and urban expansion phenomena by employing urban expansion intensity index and hotspot analysis methods for the case of Gangneung. Two major results are as followed; first, flooding susceptible areas are found in the regions where the highly intense development occurs within a short period of time, so called pseudo-urbanization. Second, less flooded buildings exist in old towns where it is believed that there is the lack of urban infrastructure services. This study indicates the possibility that the highly intense development and pseudo-urbanization with a relatively short time period relate to flooded building events. In addition, the possibility leads to another issue that new developments might be increasing the flooding vulnerability worse than before, particularly, to the adjacent old towns. For the better understanding, it is desirable to have further related case studies in the near future.

The present study identified the factors of economic retirement preparation for people living with disabilities using the Andersen's behavioral model. The 2012 Disabled Employment Panel Survey data were collected from May 21, 2012 to July 31, 2012 and were analyzed by applying the SPSS 20 program. Logistic regression analysis was carried out on a sample of 2,869 people aged 30 to 60 years. The predisposing factors (education, marital status), possibility factors (employment, non-basic livelihood security recipient status, homeowner status, income), and desire factors (subjective socioeconomic status, life satisfaction, self-esteem) affected the retirement preparation. To help people living with disabilities, policies and programs based on the factors that reflect the individual needs must be established.

Typical dwelling pattern of apartment houses in Korea. Because of this the noise of life problem arise, complaints are surging. In real-life, if suffering is unavoidable due to ambient noise, to handle a civil complaint the using a noise meter. At home, it is difficult to measure the noise using professional equipment. So, many uses smartphone application in general. But released existing noise measurement application has different value from the sensor sensitivity for each smartphone model to same situation. The value is lacks precision and this is not considered as having been made by measuring the actual noise purpose. Therefore in this paper, we propose a mobile data processing system for the living environment of noise measurement using a smartphone. Benefits of this study is to improve the accuracy of noise measurements and to find direction of noise to handle complaints.

In case of a dangerous situation, the roof, which serves as an emergency exit, must be open in case of fire according to the Fire Act. However, when the roof door is opened, it has become a place of various incidents and accidents such as illegal entry, crime, and suicide. As a result, it is a reality to close the roof door in terms of facility management to prevent crime, various incidents, and accidents. Accordingly, the government is pushing to legislate regulations on housing construction standards, etc. that mandate the installation of electronic automatic opening and closing devices on rooftop doors. Therefore, in this paper, an intelligent emergency door opening/closing device system is proposed. To this end, an intelligent emergency door opening and closing system was developed by linking wired and wireless access counting and AI image analysis. Finally, it is possible to build a wireless communication-based integrated management platform that provides remote control and history management in a centralized method of device status real-time monitoring and event alarm.

This study aims to discuss the role and function of social capital in explaining social risk perception among female-headed households. This study analyzed the level of social risk perception and its determinant factors of female-headed households using 2020 Social Survey data from Statistics Korea. The analysis revealed that socio-demographic factors and social capital influenced the perception of social risk. In addition, the social capital related to social safety was associated with the level of social risk perception. Even after controlling for various factors, the social risk perception level among female-headed households was higher than among male-headed ones. Among female-headed households, social capital such as compliance with regulations or ability to cope with risk; demographic factors such as age, residential area, and health status; and economic factors such as income level and housing type were found to affect social risk perception. Based upon the findings this study devises ways to accumulate social capital that can be obtained in cooperative relationships between families and communities.

계획하폭의 수리설계는 수문분석에 의하여 결정되는 설계홍수량을 주변지역 주택이나 농지 침수를 방지하지 않도록 하도내에서 수위를 과다하게 상승시키지 않은 상태에서 안전하게 하류로 소통시킬 수 있는 가장 경제적인 하도의 폭을 결정하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 현재 소하천 하폭의 수리설계는 지형 또는 현장 여건에 따라 계획홍수량을 결정하고, 경험식에 의한 방법 또는 도식에 의한 방법(방정식과 수리학 공식에 의한 방법)등을 이용하여 하류수위를 산정함으로써 이루어진다. 그러나 하도내 흐름이 자유수면을 가지는 개수로 흐름인 경우 도표 또는 간략화된 경험식을 이용해서는 정확한 하폭을 산정할 수 없다. 기존에 개발된 계획하폭 경험식은 홍수량에 기반한 단일 회귀식과 다양한 하천특성과 흐름특성을 이용한 다중 회귀식으로 구분된다. 그러나 현재 계획하폭 결정에 가장 많이 사용되는 경험식은 홍수량을 이용한 단일 회귀식인데, 이들은 자료수집의 어려움 때문에 지역과 하천특성을 고려하지 않고 모든 하천에 적용 가능하도록 개발되어 적용 시 세심한 주의가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 경험식을 보완함으로써 적용성을 제고하기 위하여 전국 소하천을 지역에 따라 세분화하고 흐름특성과 하천특성 자료를 수집하였다. 이렇게 수집된 자료를 위치에 따라 세분화하고 기존에 개발된 경험식과 동일한 형태로 계획하폭 경험식을 개발하였다. 개발된 경험식을 검증하는 방법은 자료를 두 개의 그룹으로 분리하고 개발에 사용되지 않은 자료 그룹을 사용함으로써 검증의 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 더불어 기존의 경험식과 비교하는 방법으로 개발된 회귀식의 적용성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 계획하폭 경험식은 지역특성과 흐름특성을 고려한 계획하폭 산정에 활용이 가능함으로써 홍수에 안전한 소하천 수리설계에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
