This study researches the dwelling satisfaction about apartment remodeling by inspecting ten apartments located in Gwang-Ju, Jun-Nam province. The method of study is to use the field study method, which is based on cultural anthropology, and the participant observation method at same time. According to the research, we find those things as they follow. First, the participation of residents and the mutual agreement are necessary in the process of the selecting a company. Furthermore it's hard to solve the problem about an uniform design and an inferior construction. These things are the most serious factor in dissatisfaction of resident environment. Second, the space of storage and veranda should be separated for the proper functions and the space for laundry is necessary. The rooms, except bedroom, and the bathroom in the main living room should be used for practical application because they are not used so often and if we make the veranda as a inner space, we've got to make a gardening plan, too. Through this research we find out that the participation of an expert company and residents for enough communication and mutual agreement and the space plan for the satisfaction of occupants are necessary for the proper apartment remodeling.

신뢰성 높은 이동 에이전트 시스템을 구성하는데 있어서 지속적인 이동 에이전트 연산을 보장하는 결함 포용기법은 중요한 고려사항이다. 이를 위해 많은 연구들이 단계군 구성에 기반한 이동 에이전트 수행에 대한 결함 포용 기법들을 제안하고 있다. 그러나 제안된 기법들은 단계군을 구성함으로써 에이전트 연산 실행에 대한 봉쇄 가능성을 감소시켰으나, 에이전트를 이주시키는 통신비용과 단계군 작업들에 대한 부하를 증가시켰다. 본 논문에서는 단계군내에 지역(region)적으로 다르게 분포한 실행장소(place)에 대해서 가짜 참여자(quasi-participant)를 두어 지역적으로 같은 곳에 모이게 하는 새로운 단계군 구성기법을 제안한다. 또한, 가짜 참여자와 실제 실행장소를 하나의 단계군으로 구성하기 위해 단계군내에 하위단계군(substage)을 두어 단계군을 구성하는 기법을 제안한다. 하위단계군은 가짜 참여자와 실제 실행장소의 작업을 분리하여 가짜 참여자로 인해 발생할 수 있는 추가 통신비용을 감소시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 가짜 참여자와 하위단계군을 사용한 단계군 구성기법은 고장 자유(failure-free) 상태에서 단계군 작업들에 대한 수행시간을 단축시켜 단계군을 이용하여 결함을 포용하는 이동 에이전트의 전체 수행시간을 단축시킨다.

The user participatory design process collects users' opinions efficiently through a feedback process such as various user workshops and conferences. When users who actually participated in a design process use the facility in which they were a participant, their satisfaction with the design quality of the facility they use may be enhanced; therefore, user participatory design methods in school construction are deemed to enlarge consistently the interest in a school of students, parents, teachers, and local residents. This paper selected the most appropriate user participatory design methods through an analysis of actually applied cases, and applied them to the empirical exploration process. Also, problems incurred through the empirical exploration process were solved by various user participatory design methods based on actually experienced cases and the results of workshops performed. As such, this paper deduced problems by applying user participatory design methods in practice, and solved problems by executing the empirical exploration process again. Through this, the paper proposed a variety of user participatory design methods for improving school design and raising user satisfaction.

The one of the big issues in fixed markets is the investment of next generation networks. The nation-wide incumbent has provided the copper cable based access networks in so far. However in the future multiple providers participant in investing network in first stage of the network investment like mobile networks. Each NRA makes efforts on the resolving construction cost of civil engineering costs through the opening conduits. To smooth operation, information opening service is needed then NRAs must determined the level of opened information and cost of usage information and so on. This paper proposed the alternation of the issues to boost the investment of the next generation networks.

This paper aims to evaluate the performance of S University's Premier Global Construction Engineer Training Program. The net impact of the program is evaluated through a quasi-experiment design approach. The competency level of an individual participant is compared with that of a non-participating expert with similar professional background. The results show that the training program contributed to a significant improvement in the professional competencies of the participating students. The competency level was regressed on the subjects of curriculum. The achievements are attributable to a group of subjects focused on the skills for project development such as PPP, feasibility study, and project financing. Another group of subjects found to have significantly contributed to the improved competencies can be categorized as subjects focused on nurturing global perspectives. The paper shows it is possible to quantify the contribution of the program and the results provide a set of information that can be useful in designing and operating similar programs.

The Critical Path Method(CPM) is an effective tool used for planning and scheduling. One of strong point in the CPM is what can calculate float. Float is able to prolong without having an effect on overall schedule of project, however concept and scope about ownership is not definite, because it is a by-product of project. Thus participants have had many dispute in using float because of their interests. In recent years, a few theories have evolved in an attempt to solve this problem. But the prior research did not make a reasonable distribution of float because their criteria of distribution was based on ratio for total project time. Actually, an application of float is achieved by participant's delay risk. Therefore. this paper proposes criteria for float distribution using delay risks, and the framework for the assessment of the delay risks.

Recently, the concern of ubiquitous City(u-City) in each level of governments is on the increase, and they are professing themselves to follow the u-city concept on constructing new urban development or urban renewal project. But the u-city plan and construction proceed as the simple sets of advanced technology without fundamental space concept or space plan of the u-city. Therefore, the u-city as a citizen's living space and a basic urban environment is defined in this article, the viewpoint of the space plan and the recent trends of u-city in korea are reviewed. On the basis of this review, this article proposed an approach of the spatial plan for a u-city construction, here the approach consisted of the 3 stages of planning, constructing, and maintaining of the u-city, and finally the role of the participant in the each stage and spatial hierarchy was proposed.

Public debate is an essential communication process of our society and now it's carried out generally by television. The purpose of this study is to discuss on the potentialities and limits of TV debate as a public space. First, we examine the way of television's construction of public debate to discover the conventions of the genre. Second, examine its limitation and potentials as an public sphere. We analyse four TV debate programs during one month(June, 2001) using text analysis: format construction, nature of agenda, characteristics of panels and chairman, participation of audience, type of knowledge. The result shows that although numbers of programs are increased, many TV debates not differentiated each other in their format, panel, and contents, and merely reproduce genre conventions. Especially in policy debates, abstract agenda, male-dominated panel, limited participation of audience, and elitism and authoritative are prevailing. The genre's preconceived formulae and fixed convention restrict its own possibility of a participant and democratic public sphere. So, in order for TV debates to function as a open public sphere, to be flexible and re-examinate the proper frame for mass media public sphere.

Citizen participation in local redevelopment has recently been regarded as essential, since progress in democracy and diversified public interests have contributed to more importance being placed on citizen participation in the implementation of public policies. While the importance of resident participation has been increasingly emphasized in principle, in reality more effort is still required in its application. We need to develop practical strategies of collecting community opinion in order to reflect it in public policy, if we are to achieve a resident and citizen-centered society. The purpose of this study is to develop an image map construction tool that can be applied to the "Maul-Mandulgi" projects as a visualized method to facilitate the exchange of opinions and work toward agreements. The tool is intended to assist public discussion by visualizing policies and plans and reducing the possibility of misunderstanding, so that residents can properly respond to the plans. Second, this study will verify the effectiveness of the tool in the application to local community workshops. The main research method is participant observation method and field study. Major findings are as follows, First, every resident who had participated in previous workshops gathered together, used the tool and represented their opinions unusually more than once. Each resident tried to make sure that other participants appropriately understood his or her opinion. The workshop finished when all participants agreed and produced a consensus. The workshop took much less time, which is in stark contrast to previous workshops in which it took significantly more time to collect opinions. Second, it proved that residents in the redevelopment area can strike a broad agreement by themselves on a method and direction for residential improvement. In previous workshops, conflicts between residents developed over the choice between the two methods, of local improvement and total demolition prior to multi-housing construction. In this study, opinions of residents were not limited to the two methods by finding a winwin solution. Third, the use of the tool kit for image map became efficient for inactive residents to develop their own opinions in regard to the direction and orientations of the residential improvement process. In addition, for those who have either no or a slight understanding of the residential improvement projects, the tool can provide access to information and knowledge. This study concludes that the developed tool for imaging of the redevelopment projection like a design game, rather than using forms of text and speech, can be a useful tool in collecting opinions and forming an agreed opinion for forthcoming residential improvement plans.

A social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme fear and phobic avoidance of social and performance situations. Medications or cognitive-behavior methods have been mainly used in treating it. These methods have some shortcomings such as being inefficient and difficult to apply to treatment. Lately the virtual rcality technology has been applied to dcal with the anxiety disorders in order to compcnsate for these defects. A virtual environment provides a patient with stimuli which cvokes a phobia. and the patient's exposure to the virtual phobic situation make him be able to overcome it. In this study, we suggested the public speaking simulator based on a personal computer for the treatment of social phobia. The public speaking simulator was composed of a position sensor. head mount display and audio system. And a virtual environment for the treatment was suggested to be a seminar room where 8 avatars are sitting. The virtual environment includes a tracking system the trace a participant's head-movement using a HMD with position sensor and 3D sound is added to the virtual environment so that he might fcel it realistic. We also made avatars' motion and facial expression change in reaction to a participant's speech. The goal of developing public speaking simulator is to apply to treat fear of public speaking efficiently and economically. In a future study. we should get more information about immergence and treatment efficiency by clinical test and apply it to this simulator.
