It is important to quantitatively analyze the energy budget for understanding of long-term climate change in Arctic. High-quality and long-term radiative parameters are needed to understand the energy budget. Since most of radiative flux components based on satellite are provide for a short period, several data must be used together. It is important to acquaint differences between data to link for conjunction with several data. In this study, we investigated the comparative analysis of Arctic radiative flux product such as CERES and GEWEX to provide basic information for data linkage and analysis of changes in Arctic climate. As a result, GEWEX was underestimated the radiative variables, and it difference between the two data was about $3{\sim}25W/m^2$. In addition, the difference in high-latitude and sea ice regions have increased. In case of comparing with monthly means, the other variables except for longwave downward flux represent high difference of $9.26{\sim}26.71W/m^2$ in spring-summer season. The results of this study can be used standard data for blending and selecting GEWEX and CERES radiative flux data due to recognition of characteristics according to ice-ocean area, season, and regions.

Extant research has proposed that the Object-Spatial-Verbal cognitive style can elucidate individual differences in the preference for modality-specific information. However, no studies have yet ascertained whether this type of information processing evinces structural correlations in the brain. Therefore, the current study used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analyses to investigate individual differences in gray matter volumes based on the Object-Spatial-Verbal cognitive style. For this purpose, ninety healthy young adults were recruited to participate in the study. They were administered the Korean version of the Object-Spatial-Verbal cognitive style questionnaire, and their anatomical brain images were scanned. The VBM results demonstrated that the participants' verbal scores were positively correlated with regional gray matter volumes (rGMVs) in the right superior temporal sulcus/superior temporal gyrus, the bilateral parahippocampal gyrus/fusiform gyrus, and the left inferior temporal gyrus. In addition, the rGMVs in these regions were negatively correlated with the relative spatial preference scores obtained by individual participants. The findings of the investigation provide anatomical evidence that the verbal cognitive style could be decidedly relevant to higher-level language processing, but not to basic language processing.

Over the last several years, studies on spatial index have increased in proportion to the increase in the spatial data. Most of these studies, however were on the indices based on R-tree by adding or changing some options, and there are a few studies on how to increase the search performance of the spatial data by compressing an MBR. This study was conducted in order to propose a new MBR compression scheme, SA(Semi-Approximation). The basic idea of this paper is the compression of MBRs in a spatial index. Since SA decreases the keys of MBRs, the enlargements of QMBR in half and increases the utilization of nodes, the SA heightens the overall search performance. The study analyzes mathematically the number of node accesses in a 2D space and evaluates the performance of the SA using the real data on location information. The results show that the proposed scheme has increased performance, higher than that of the pre-established schemes on compression of MBR.

This study analyzes the welfare services and spatial composition of social welfare centers that represent complex welfare facilities in order to provide basic information for the spatial planning of social welfare centers. We examined 15 social welfare centers built in the 2000s. A literature review and case study were used as research methodology. The findings are as follow. First, services provided at the surveyed facilities overlapped for seniors and the handicapped. Most social welfare centers provided welfare services for seniors, young children, and teenagers. Second, the proportion of common area, program rooms was high for spatial composition. Third, front access by car was most common (used at nine centers) for the design of the access area and used by. Fourth, shared entry and exit was most common (used at 10 centers) for the design of the entrance. Fifth, regarding space combining style, a mixed style was most frequently used (observed at seven centers) where different private areas for different service users were partly mixed on certain floors. Sixth, a corridor type was most common (used at seven centers) for the design of a corridor space where visitors could walk along the corridor to access individual rooms. Based on the findings, we propose spatial composition of social welfare centers to promote mingling and exchanges among users of different generations.

This study intends to identify the spatial characteristics by carrying out the case studies of supportive housing examples of the Top Ten Projects awarded by the AIA Committee on Environments. Information of 7 awarded works was collected and content analysis was made according to design concepts and spatial compositions. As a result, the major design concepts applied to the examples were categorized into 5 points of regeneration of community, accessibility to the community, enhancement of spatial capability, participation and consensus of stakeholders and resident support services. Many supportive houses were built as a project to regenerate the deprived area and to reactivate the community through supplying supportive houses. In addition, supportive houses were developed by independent house type and shared house type and diverse scopes and sizes of community spaces were provided by including residents' exclusive community spaces that provide diverse services to vulnerable residents in addition to individual residential spaces and the community spaces that promote the consensus of residents and community people. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic material that provides the direction of desirable spatial design for introducing supportive housings in Korea.

A phase delay spectrum model towards the representation of spatial coherence of stochastic wind fields is proposed. Different from the classical coherence functions used in the spectral representation methods, the model is derived from the comprehensive description of coherence of fluctuating wind speeds and from the thorough analysis of physical accounts of random factors affecting phase delay, building up a consistent mapping between the simulated fluctuating wind speeds and the basic random variables. It thus includes complete probabilistic information of spatial stochastic wind fields. This treatment prompts a ready and succinct scheme for the simulation of fluctuating wind speeds, and provides a new perspective to the accurate assessment of dynamic reliability of wind-induced structures. Numerical investigations and comparative studies indicate that the developed model is of rationality and of applicability which matches well with the measured data at spatial points of wind fields, whereby the phase spectra at defined datum mark and objective point are feasibly obtained using the numerical scheme associated with the starting-time of phase evolution. In conjunction with the stochastic Fourier amplitude spectrum that we developed previously, the time history of fluctuating wind speeds at any spatial points of wind fields can be readily simulated.

As the $CO_2$ from buildings take up approximately 25% of the total $CO_2$ emission, the need for regulating and managing this emission is urgently required. Thus this study recognizes $CO_2$ emission status for diverse purposes and suggests accurate interpolation method for visualizing $CO_2$ emission as the basic data for regulating and managing $CO_2$ emission by applying IDW, Spline, and Kringing method. Results showed that Gaussian Function application among the Kriging methods had the highest accuracy in its estimations, with 3.049 with RMSE standards. This could be used as the basic data when visualizing $CO_2$ emission status, which is a necessity for many local and federal governments that are to regulate and manage $CO_2$ emission. This study shows that the interpolation is very appropriative method in recognizing $CO_2$ emission characteristics for regional climate change measures.

The absence of present accurate geospatial information can cause us to undergo severe problems in controlling the complicate and multiplicate disaster. Our country is trying to build the Disaster Spatial Data Infrastructure (DSDI), and the key information is the national framework data. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of disaster spatial data, and analyze the present conditions and problems of national framework data, and suggest the way to improve for the GIS application system. In order to provide a wide range of services through the national geospatial data integration system, the data management authority should be established to maintain the consistency of quality and data accuracy of the entire national spatial data infrastructure. In addition, the step-by-step update plan of the national geospatial data should be determined by means of the framework data. And the basic data (lowest common denominator) should be formulated to maintain the data consistency of national spatial information infrastructure.
