Korea successfully achieved energy independence in the shortest period of time from being the poorest country in terms of energy 50 years ago through steady development of nuclear technology. In the past, the nuclear industry has been driven through government-centered policy development, public institution-based research, and industrial facility and infrastructure construction. Consequently, South Korea became a nuclear energy powerhouse exporting nuclear power plants to the UAE, surpassing the level of domestic technological independence. However, in recent years, the nuclear industry in Korea has experienced a decline in new plant construction since the Fukushima accident in Japan, which caused changes in public perspectives regarding nuclear power plant operation, more stringent safety standards on the operation of nuclear power plants, and a shift in governmental energy policy. These changes are expected to change the domestic nuclear industry ecosystem. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the priority of technology development investment from the perspective of experts in private nuclear power companies, shifting the focus from government-led nuclear R&D policies. To establish a direction in nuclear technology development, a survey was conducted by applying an analytic hierarchy analysis to experts who have worked in nuclear power plants for more than 15 years. The analysis items of focus were the 3 attributes of strategic importance, urgency, and business feasibility of four major fields related to nuclear energy: nuclear safety, decommissioning, radioactive waste management, and strengthening industrial competitiveness.

Issues in the construction industry of Cambodia in ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is the main priority to be identified before identifying causing factors in order to find out recommendations, to improve this sector, and to survive in this community. Two major issues were identified from the literature review and the investigation, namely i) Long-term vision and its policy, and ii) practice culture. The total sample collected from concerned government officers and engineers in Cambodia were 463. Factor analysis was then conducted to find out the issues, and as the results, there are five issues in two main groups: (i) the Organization's vision and its skill, which consist of a vision of the organization, knowledge and skill, and less investmen in the construction sector; (ii) Knowledge and motivation towards the AEC, which consist of knowledge about the AEC, and level to promote organization for the AEC.

Recently, the Malaysian government had been developing new technologies to the construction industry and one of them is the Industrialised Building System (IBS). The government urged that IBS is 100% utilized in all construction projects. It is believed that the application of IBS helps in reducing construction duration and cost, solving the problems of overflow of foreign workers in the site and improving performance and appearance of a structure. However, there are some parties like the contractor who feel reluctant to utilize this system because there are risks. They worry that their trades will be affected as IBS construct a structure using components which are manufactured in a factory and assemble on site. Therefore, this research is to find out whether IBS benefits the country's economy by focusing on the business created by investing in IBS. A comprehensive supply chain for IBS will be developed to compare with the traditional construction supply chain as to determine businesses or trades created and eliminated. This paper is looking at the theoretical framework about business opportunities due to the Government policy on embarking IBS.

Background: Recent research on occupational injuries in companies has faced difficulties in obtaining representative data, leading to studies relying on surveys or case studies. Moreover, it is difficult to find studies on how a company's industry characteristics affect occupational injuries. This study aims to address these limitations. Methods: We collected 11 years of disclosure data from 1,247 listed companies in the Korean stock market and combined it with their occupational injury histories collected by the Republic of Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) to build a dataset. We attempted to analyze a linear panel model by dividing the dataset into manufacturing, construction, and other industries. Results: The higher proportion of full-time employees and better job skills correlate with lower occupational injuries in other industries. The wage increase reduces occupational injuries in manufacturing and other industries, but the substitution effect produces the opposite outcome in construction. Also, foreign ownership and credit ratings increase effectively reduce occupational injuries mainly in the manufacturing industry. Conclusion: Our results suggest that in explaining the relationship between corporate characteristics and occupational injuries, it is necessary to consider the nature of the industry more closely, and in particular, employment and labor policies for preventing occupational injuries need to be selectively applied according to industry. In addition, to improve the limitations and increase the usability of the research results, further detailed studies are needed in the future.

글로벌 금융위기 이후 OECD 국가들의 청년층 평균 고용률은 2007년 54%에서 2013년 50.8%로 낮아졌고, 청년층 실업률은 2007년 9.7%에서 2013년 13.4%로 큰 폭으로 상승하였다. 이러한 추세는 우리나라에서도 청년층 고용률은 2007년 42.6%에서 2015년에 41.5%로 감소하였고, 실업률은 2007년 7.2%에서 9.2%로 증가하였다. 이와 같이 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 세계 각국의 청년 고용률이 저조하여 사회적인 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 앞으로 우리나라의 건설업 투자는 개발성장 위주에서 질적 성장으로 점차 전환될 것이다. 이러한 방향에 따라 건설기술인력의 고용창출과 글로벌 기술인력의 양성이 무엇보다도 필요하다. 본고는 건설기술인력의 현황 및 대학졸업자의 실태를 분석하여 청년 건설기술인력의 일자리 창출방안을 제시하였다. 향후 글로벌 건설기술인력을 양성하기 위해서는 중장기적인 측면에서 인력양성 대책을 수립할 뿐만 아니라, 특히 건설업이 3D(Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous) 산업에서 3C(Clean, Clear, Creative) 산업으로 발전할 수 있도록 이미지 개선과 인프라 구축을 하는 것이 필요하다.

건설산업에서 근로시간 및 인력 수급의 변화로 탈 현장 공장기반 건설(OSC : Off Site Construction)형태의 생산방식이 주목받고 있다. 과거 1991년에 PC(Precast Concrete) 공동주택의 보급 및 확대 정책이 있었지만, PC 공동 주택은 품질문제 등으로 중단된 후 현재까지 활성화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 공동주택 부문에 OSC 기반 PC 적용을 활성화하기 위한 정책과제를 분석하고 전문가 심층 면접조사(FGI : Focused Group Interview)를 실시하여 정책 방향을 도출하고자 하였다. 과거 정책 벤치마킹을 통해 공공부문 우선 적용을 통한 PC 공동주택 물량제공, 공공택지 우선공급, 용적률 우대, 자금지원, 세제지원, 업역 구조개선, 발주방식 개선, 공장인증시스템, 전문인력 양성 등 9개 정책과제를 도출하고 FGI를 실시한 결과로 얻은 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, PC 공동주택 활성화를 위해서는 공공부분의 선도적인 노력이 필요하다. 둘째, 업역의 개편이나 새로운 발주방식의 도입보다는 협업 강화를 유도하는 정책방향이 바람직하다. 셋째, 적정공사비와 품질확보를 위한 제도적 토대 위에서 PC 활성화가 추진되어야 한다.

Regarding the characteristics of fatal electric shock accident during the past 10 years, fatalities occurred more frequently in July & August, and AM 10-12 PM & 14-16. Also, the electric shock accident is occurred more frequently in the age group from 30 to 40. Especially, the fatal electric shock accident in construction industry covered more than half of total industry. Therefore, it is strongly requested for the protection technology of an electric shock from the low voltage electric path, grounding method and workers. The aim of this study is to propose the policy about the equipment performance standards and/or worker's safety standards to revise the standards for preventing electric shock accidents on safety workings.

The Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has a culture of long working hours that sometimes extend to weekends. As a result, construction employees find it challenging to achieve a balance between their work and personal lives. It is believed that there is rarely a clear separation between employees' work and personal life in the AEC industry. This paper suggests that in order to attract and retain a talented workforce, AEC organizations have to cater for the diverse needs of employees with regard to work-life balance. This paper presents the results of a survey of both professional and managerial employees' perspective on work-life conflict issues in private and public AEC organizations. Perspectives were found to differ, although not significantly, by employees' experience, leadership experience, age and gender. Furthermore, most survey respondents noted that their employers did not have a policy or program in place supporting work-life balance initiatives. Finally, although the AEC industry is making strides to improve work-life balance, the effort is lagging behind other industry sectors in providing policies and programs to promote work-life balance through flexible work hours and various other means.
