Ensuring walkability in a city where pedestrians and vehicles coexist is an issue of critical importance. The relative relationship between vehicle transit and walkability improvements complicates the evaluation of walkability, which thus necessitates the formation of a quantitative standard by which a methodological measurement of walkability can be achieved inside the pedestrian network. Therefore, a model is determined whereby quantitative indices such as, but not limited to, experiences of accessibility, mobility, and convenience within the network are estimated. This research proposes the integration of space syntax theory and the logit path choice model in the evaluation of walkability. Space syntax theory assesses adequacy of the constructed pedestrian network through calculation of the link integration value, while the logit model estimates its safety, mobility, and accessibility using probability. The advantage of the integrated model hence lies in its ability to sufficiently reflect such evaluation measures as the integration value, mobility convenience, accessibility potential, and safety experienced by the demand in a quantitative manner through probability computation. In this research, the Dial Algorithm is used to arrive at a solution to the logit model. This process requires that the physical distance of the pedestrian network and the perceptive distance of space syntax theory be made equivalent. In this, the research makes use of network expansion to reflect wait times. The evaluation index calculated through the integrated model is reviewed and using the results of this sample network, the applicability of the model is assessed.

The infiltration route analysis is a military application using geospatial information technology. The result of the analysis would present vulnerable routes for potential enemy infiltration. In order to find the susceptible routes, optimal path search algorithms (Dijkstra's and $A^*$) were used to minimize the cost function, summation of detection probability. The cost function was produced by capability of TOD (Thermal Observation Device), results of viewshed analysis using DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and two related geospatial information coverages (obstacle and vegetation) extracted from VITD (Vector product Interim Terrain Data). With respect to 50m by 50m cells, the individual cost was computed and recorded, and then the optimal infiltration routes was found while minimizing summation of the costs on the routes. The proposed algorithm was experimented in Daejeon region in South Korea. The test results show that Dijkstra's and $A^*$ algorithms do not present significant differences, but A* algorithm shows a better efficiency. This application can be used for both infiltration and surveillance. Using simulation of moving TOD, the most vulnerable routes can be detected for infiltration purpose. On the other hands, it can be inversely used for selection of the best locations of TOD. This is an example of powerful geospatial solution for military application.

In this paper, we propose a new heuristic solution for 3D container packing problem for the variable sizes and types of freight. Frist of all, we consider the total cost of container charge i.e., handling, loading and transportation, where each freight will be specifically identified The types of containers and its number to be loaded am be selected automatically by minimizing the total cost of container charge. Maximization of loading space am be achieved efficiently by operating the palletizing and/or depalletizing of freight. By considering these factors we can determine the position of freight in the container and the loading sequence to be packing into the container. In container packing simulation, we can verify that the proposed heuristic algorithm indicates more efficiency space utilization and shows the possibility of using on commercial business.

Along with green growth era in the 21st century and with the increasing economic, social, and cultural stabilization, people expect absolute freedom from the drought and flood and long for ecological exchange in the waterfront as a part of the living base at the same time. In order to match the changes in social demand, the focus on the river management policy urgently requires a comprehensive river management that considers the nature's environmental and ecological aspects as well as a new disaster prevention approach that grows out of existing simple flood prevention. Therefore, this thesis provides feasible solutions by suggesting the following findings to maintain and manage rivers to be harmonized with the natural environment considering disaster prevention aspects. It is necessary to change the river management policy and integrated river basin management, to control the river management lead by the central government and to promote close-to-nature river management approach for environmentally sound and sustainable development.

The behavior characteristics of underground structures are reported as they are not affected by their dynamic characteristics such as surface structures, but by dynamic characteristics of soil and rock surrounding the underground structures. Therefore, dynamic behavior of surrounding soil and rock dominates the dynamic behavior of the underground structure. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic response (longitudinal deformation and ovaling deformation) of the underground structure under earthquake loading. The dynamic responses of the underground structures were evaluated with varying earthquake conditions, soil conditions, and structural conditions using conventional closed-form solution of seismic behavior of underground structure. In addition, shaking table tests were conducted to simulate the earthquake loading and the dynamic behavior of the model was analyzed.

In order to design an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structures for an undersea tunnel, mechanical properties for the lamina types of the structural member must be predetermined. It is also reported that the size effect of the specimen is significant. In this study the tensile tests for the lamina types of the structural member are conducted at the room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) and the seawater temperature ($0^{\circ}C$). In addition, the mechanical properties are predicted by theory based on the rule of mixtures and elasticity solution technique. The predicted mechanical properties are compared with test results obtained by a test method. In the design of an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structural members for an undersea tunnel, the used mechanical properties must be applied at the room temperature with considering the modified factors. These are to be offered the datum for the design an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structures for an undersea tunnel.

As the exact geographical information has been nowadays required for effective developing and using of national land, in the country, there has been interested in using of GPS, and its practical use is expected. Various kinds of fundamental research for practical use of GPS is being accomplished. In this study, a test was carried out over 9 stations with baseline of the range of 1.5 to 210km, and the accuracy of baseline length by GPS relative positioning was variously considered. As result of this study, using a GPS receiving L1 frequency only, baseline accuracy for 2 hour observation was of the order of 0.3ppm for the 10km, and for I hour was below 1ppm. Using a GPS receiving dual frequency(L1/L2), baseline accuracy was of the order of 0.3ppm for the 100km to 200km as 3 hour observation using double difference methods by carrier phase. With basic on the result of this study, when observation and baseline processing are proceeded by the selected optimum observation time and using of baseline processing method, we can expect that geographical information will be acquired effectively.

It is a general agreement that exact statistical solutions can be found by a Monte Carlo technique. Due to difficulties, however, in the numerical generation of random fields, which satisfy not only the probabilistic distribution but the spectral characteristics as well, it is recognized as relatively difficult to find an exact response variability of a structural response. In this study, recognizing that the random field assumes a constant over the domain under consideration when the correlation distance tends to infinity, a semi-theoretical solution of response variability is proposed for general structures. In this procedure, the probability density function is directly used. It is particularly noteworthy that the proposed methodology provides response variability for virtually any type of probability density function, and has capability of considering correlations between multiple random variables.

Electrical impedance tomography is a relatively new nondestructive imaging modality in which the internal conductivity distribution is reconstructed based on the injected currents and measured voltages through electrodes placed on the surface of a domain. In this paper, a fast iterative Gauss-Newton method is proposed to increase the spatial resolution as well as reduce the inverse computational time in the inverse problem, which could be applied to online binary mixture flow applications. To evaluate the reconstruction performance of the proposed method, numerical experiments have been carried out and the results are analyzed.
