In this thesis, the domestic and foreign legislative background and legislative process of the Serious Accident Punishment Act were reviewed, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act in Korea was reviewed. In 2022, more safety accidents occurred in the construction industry than in other fields, and in particular, the most deaths occurred in the 'fall' type. In April 2023, regarding two criminal first-instance trial cases, the courts all sentenced guilty, and in one case, the representative of the company(CEO) was sentenced to imprisonment and was arrested. In response, the management side expresses the opinion that the punishment is excessive and there is a concern that corporate management will shrink, while the workers side(Union) argues that the responsibility of the business operator or manager should be strengthened by heavier punishment. As a countermeasure to overcome rationally, we present a plan in terms of legislation and resolution process. In other words, we present a review of the amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Court Organization Act. In addition, guidelines for the a safety and health system must be implemented, and if an accident occurs, it must be dealt with reasonably. As a result, safety accidents in the construction industry should drastically decrease and safety culture should be properly established.

Recent changes of the climate, which caused by global warming, have much effect world-widely. Korea also has struggled with these kinds of weather problems, and construction industry couldn't get away with them, either. However, the research, regarding to these problems, has not been quite settled, yet. Therefore, this study is to find out how the global warming can affect construction periods. As a result, we could recognize that changes of climate, which caused by global warming, also affects non-working days, too. This study is expected to be used as the data to find out the relationship between weather changes and domestic construction industry in the future.

Recently, there have been many changes in the domestic construction industry. OSC (Off-Site Construction) is expected to solve these problems, and it is emerging as a way to inspire innovation in the domestic construction production system. OSC, which has only recently attracted attention again after previous studies have failed, is lacking in research on preception surveys and customized performance measurements compared to overseas. This study investigated the perceptions of construction industry workers on OSC through a survey, and examined differences in perceptions of each subject and the relative importance of performance indicators. In general, the need for introduction and development of OSC was recognized. Also, drivers and obstacles inhibiting more use of OSC were analyzed. The relative importance for performance indicators and differences in perceptions of each subject were identified. Then, this study suggests plans for diffusion and revitalization of OSC, and key performance indicator for OSC based PC structure apartment housing.

The government set up a comprehensive plan for EC vitalizations in February 2000 and has begun implementing it. They hope to introduce EC into the economy at large and invoke reconsideration of its efficiency and transparency in the public sector. To accomplish this, the government has built EC utilization system within the industry and trade. However, the overall EC in the construction industry is below expectation. With the aid of the government, larger construction companies are building E-marketplace by increasing the investment in IT and organizing a consortium. On the other hand, small and medium construction companies have difficulties in investing in EC. On the basis of a field research, this study investigates problems that small and medium construction industry confronts in a domestic environment and EC system. It also analyzes the limitations of the tax reduction law for EC. Therefore, this study suggests a counterplan that defines the importance of a government guided plan and necessity of providing incentives to encourage EC Utilization degree.

During the last few decades, several companies and research laboratories have developed construction robots in an effort to improve productivity, quality, and reduce construction time and safety concerns. Recently, domestic construction industry is also interested in developing the construction robots. However, the studies on the research and development process is impossible in real field. A existing research's object is the development of the research on the assumption that construction's environment is a fixed form, But real construction's environment is very dynamic and atypical. So it is very difficult that we apply construction automation and robots. In order to solve this problem, this study deduce influential factors on decision making of frame construction scheduling for automated construction.

Recently laws have been enacted to build and promote the use of smart grid. There are also increasing demands for the compliance with international trade agreements and the related international standards. Due to these rapid changes in electric power industry and the market expansion, importances of new technologies and processes have been being increased. To reflect these international trends, the government have carried out the designation of new technology for electric power industry to promote domestic industries and national competitiveness by inspiring technology developments in individual or private industry sectors. In this paper analysis of the current status of the designation of the new technology of electric power has been presented including its problem and effect on the related industries. The analysis is expected to be utilized to enhance sound development and to vitalize the electrical new technology regulation.

Construction Cycle Trend Survey, which survey total value of orders and realized amounts monthly, is a valuable statistics that used to quick grasp or forecast the trend of domestic construction business. In recent periodical survey quality diagnoses, few professional users named a problem that Construction Cycle Trend Survey could not get together with the current state of the construction industry. This study examined weather Construction Cycle Trend Survey reflects the economic sentiment of construction business or not. Paired t test was performed between Construction Cycle Trend Survey and Construction Business Survey Index (CBSI), and significant differences were verified.

Domestic remodeling market is now growing centering around non housing building. Unlike non housing building remodeling business, understanding of remodeling demanders accustomed to profit of reconstruction, deficiency of experience performing remodeling project and construction, shortage of will performing remodeling policy and detailed action method are difficulties in performing apartment building remodeling business. Understanding change of remodeling demanders. strong economic incentive by government, construction management paradigm shift from new construction into building life cycle, application of construction method using existing building condition before remodeling and remodeling related industry infrastructure are required to improve this remodeling business circumstances.

Nowadays, there has been extreme competition due to market reduction in the domestic construction industry. In this situation, Korean construction companies are focused in the area of planning development housing project, which should maximize profit for a project. The most important step in this project is the business planning stage which judge whether it could come true or not. Each company has its own planning process model, but there hasn't been any standard model for the business planning process. To solve this problem in Korean construction companies, this study identifies the existing business planning process in the domestic construction companies finds out its problems, and suggests solutions for thorn. And Finally a business planning process model is proposed for success in development housing projects.

The Value Engineering(VE) well known as a way of Productivity Elevation is already the proven and outstanding management method in Construction Industry the inside and outside of country. The Value Engineering in domestic, revised by the method of the Construction Technique - Enforcement Ordinance ("the Examination of Design Economy") in 2005, is usually applicable to the Construction Work which cost over 10 billon won. But It is true that there is some differences between theory and reality to apply the Value Engineering in domestic. Therefore the differences are blocking process to enlarge and supply the VE in domestic. In this Study, through a case-analysis of the recently accomplished Design Value Engineering, we give a careful consideration to the problem and cause. And we are inclined to contribute to a successful stay of the Design Value Engineering in domestic as offering the solution about those.
