PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to analyze economic effect of bike-sharing after its introduction in Korea. METHODS : This study reviews current bike-sharing situations in Korea and other nations. We conduct surveys on bike-sharing system's bike usage patterns and economic benefits in Changwon and Goyang cities where public bikes are the most popular in the nation. Economic benefits are itemized after reviewing relevant previous studies. Then, the survey is implemented using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Then estimated benefit is compared to the cost which is necessary for bike-sharing introduction and operation. RESULTS : Using the average WTP per household, the total economic benefit of bike-sharing is estimated as much as 1.75 billion KRW to 3.75 billion KRW in Goyang and Changwon city. Using estimated benefit, economic effect of bike-sharing are calculated as 0.69 and 1.00, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study shows bike-sharing could be useful economic policy in Korea. However, economic effect of bike-sharing differs by city.

최근 국토교통부 '제6차 건설기술진흥기본계획' 및 '스마트 건설 활성화 방안(2022.7.20.)' 등에서 국내 건설 산업 혁신 방안의 하나로 제시되고 있는 PC (Precast Concrete), 모듈러(Modular) 등 탈 현장 건설 생산방식인 OSC (Off-Site Construction)는 공기 단축, 원가 절감, 품질 향상, 건설 폐기물 감소, 안전사고 감소 등 각종 장점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 현장타설 기반의 전통적 RC공법에 비해 비싼 공사비로 인하여 활용 확산에 제약이 되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 OSC 활용성을 개선할 수 있도록 공동주택을 대상으로 계획·설계단계에서의 의사결정을 지원할 수 있는 경제성 분석 지표 및 방법론을 제안하였다. 국내·외 연구, 기술자료 조사 등을 통해 전통적인 경제성 분석의 틀에서 공사비 외에도 정량화 가능한 다양한 공동주택 OSC(PC공법 기반) 방식의 경제성 연관 요인들의 특성을 검토하였으며, 최종 편익 부문 지표로는 OSC의 기술적 장점을 반영한 '공사기간', '재해발생', '폐기물발생', '온실가스배출' 을 도출하였다. 또한, 이렇게 제시된 경제성 분석 지표 및 편익 산출기준을 실제 공동주택 사례 데이터를 기반으로 시나리오 분석을 실시하여, 기존 RC공법과의 공사비 차이를 상쇄시키는 편익 수준을 검토하였다. 향후 세부 지표별 측정 기준 적용성에 대해 추가적인 사례 연구 수행과 편익 지표 보완이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 이를 통해 보다 개선된 효과 검증도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study is intended to propose a systematic approach for reliability-based assessment of life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness and economic efficiency for cost-effective seismic upgrading of existing bridges. The LCC function is expressed as the sum of the upgrading cost and all the discounted life cycle damage costs, which is formulated as a function of the Park-Ang damage index and structural damage probability. The damage costs are expressed in terms of direct damage costs such as repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, and indirect damage costs such as road user costs and indirect regional economic losses. For dealing with a variety of uncertainties associated with earthquake loads and capacities, a simulation-based reliability approach is used. The SMART-DRAIN-2DX, which is a modified version of the well-known DRAIN-2DX, is extended by incor-porating LCC analysis based on the LCC function developed in the study. Economic efficiencies for optimal seismic upgradings of the continuous PC segmental bridges are assessed using the proposed LCC functions and benefit-cost ratio.

Social solidarity, equity in financing, and efficiency in administration have been core issues in the development of Korean health insurance reformation since 1988. This study is to investigate the trend of administrative cost in Korean National Health Insurance from various aspects. For the analysis of administrative cost, the expenditures of each insurance society and the National Health Insurance Corporation are divided into 4 items of (1) insurance benefit, (2) administrative cost, (3) an agency provision accounts, (4) other expenses, and then they are reorganized. The analyses based on 5 types of the health insurance administrative cost showed that efficiency in administration has been improved generally. We, however, should consider qualitative aspects such as customer's satisfaction with health insurance administration, prompt service, control of unjust expenditure (unjust claims), and provision of medical service including health consultation in assessing efficiency of administration. And, in order to connect the administrative costs of health insurance with efficiency, we need to give a fundamentally new definition, which can contain elaborateness of expenditure in details including the structure and evaluation method of administrative costs. It may be necessary to develop new indicators or analyzing methods hereafter.

Water disasters such as flash floods and inundation caused by localized heavy rainfall in urban areas have a large impact on climate change but are also closely related to the increase in impervious areas as pointed out in domestic and international studies. It is difficult to secure natural green areas in urban areas that have already been developed. So, urban regeneration can be expected using water management optimized with technologies to secure infiltration and storage capacity such as Low-Impact Development technology. In this study, the water cycle improvement ability was confirmed by applying the LID technology within the district unit plan of the environmentally friendly village, and the economic feasibility of LID application was analyzed by estimating the costs and benefits of installing the facilities. The site was planned to conserve sufficient green and plans for securing the watershed infiltration and storage capacity were formulated with the application of additional LID technology, such as infiltration trenches, rain barrels and permeable pavements. The LID design method applicable to the site was established, and the water balance of the watershed was analyzed through simulations of the SWMM model. The water circulation improvement effect was confirmed through the water balance analysis, and the cost-benefits were determined according to the estimation method, and the economic analysis was conducted. This study confirms that the investment of LID technology is economically feasible for the hydrological improvement effect of the housing complex.

This study is to evaluate the prior economic feasibility of the off-shore fisheries stock enhancement project. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows: first, offshore fisheries stock enhancement project shall be implemented by dividing them into 1st·2nd·3rd projects for efficient promotion. The 1st·2nd·3rd projects will be conducted in a total of 50 locations (the eastern sea, the western sea, the southern sea, and the jeju sea areas), and the project period per unit will be five years, which will cost 1 trillion won. Second, according to the results of the survey on public awareness, the most consumed marine species in Korea over the past year were analyzed in the order of mackerel, hairtail, squid, yellow corvina, blue crab, and cod. The dominant response to the reason for consuming marine products in Korea was healthy well-being food and safe food. In addition, 67.9% of them have hesitated to purchase offshore fish species over the past year due to high prices, indicating that they are burdened by high prices. On the other hand, 79% of the respondents said that the government's policy was insufficient, according to a survey on whether the government's coastal marine resource creation policy was sufficient. Third, as a result of preliminary economic analysis of offshore fisheries stock enhancement project, the benefit-cost ratio is 4.01, net present price is 1,283.7 billion won, and internal rate of return is 91.7% per year, which means that the economic analysis ensures the feasibility of the projects. The results of this study provide useful information on securing or organizing budgets for offshore fisheries stock enhancement project by securing economic feasibility as a national infrastructure project that increases fishery income and public benefits such as consumption of marine products.

This study is objected by suggesting rationalization method of management and maintenance cost for railway investment assessment. The estimate of rational benefit and cost are a work of vital importance to decide railway investment as preliminary feasibility investigation is institutionally reinforced since January 2007. In particular, railway management and maintenance cost have to be applied to realistic and detail cost as railway investment assessment guide. For example, types of railway, construction of new line, improvement of conventional line, double tracking, railway electrification. However, railway investment assessment is inconsistency because of estimating the railway management and maintenance cost using existing unrealistic management and maintenance cost. Therefore, this study is performed parametric analysis effecting on the railway management and maintenance cost considered new technique, enhanced facilities and improved standard. Also, it suggests the itemized standard management and maintenance cost. Finally, it will be helped to establish the base of railway investment through the rationalization method of management and maintenance cost.

Technological, policy and economic factors are both important variables in maximizing the results of a national R&D program and key indicators in evaluating an R&D program's eligibility for financial support. Economic analysis, in particular, is used when selecting R&D programs, setting priorities, and estimating economic effects. This paper examines a series of methodological issues related to the economic analysis of national R&D programs within the framework of the current preliminary feasibility evaluation system, and proposes alternative approaches to each of the issues discussed. The issues include the definition of R&D valuation and establishment of valuation factors; estimation of sales attributable to R&D investment; assessment of the total economic value of R&D as intellectual assets; estimation of R&D benefits and assumption of related to sales; and the application of discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital. Finally, this study presents directions for future research on analytical procedures and methods of improving the reliability of the results of economic analysis within the national technology planning system.

본 연구는 노후 경유차 조기폐차 지원제도의 재정 효율성을 분석하기 위해 노후 경유차 조기폐차에 대한 행정자료를 사용하여 재정투입비용과 대기질 개선편익을 추정하여 B/C 분석을 시도하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 2020년 이전에는 지원제도의 비용 대비 편익 비율이 1보다 크지만, 2020년 이후로 그 비율이 1보다 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 최근 노후 경유차 조기폐차의 혜택을 확대하기 위한 방향으로 개편되었으나, 대기질 개선 편익의 증가율은 제도 운영 비용의 증가율만큼 빠르지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 대기질 개선편익은 조기폐차로 인해 운행기간이 어느 정도 단축하는지에 의존한다. 이 시기를 더 앞당길수록 조기폐차의 편익이 비용보다 더 클 가능성이 커진다. 본 연구결과를 살펴보면, 폐차 시기를 5년 앞당길 때 표본의 98%에 대한 B/C가 1이 되어 재정 효율성이 크게 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정부는 조기폐차 지원제도가 폐차시점에 대한 노후 경유차 차주의 의사결정에 영향을 줄 수 있도록 제도를 개편해나가는 것이 중요할 것이다.
