This study was conducted to analyze the weight factors for siting the electric facilities using Analytic Heirarchy Process technique participating the stakeholders. Siting the electric facilities has been a dispute of long standing because of landscape damage, geological deformation and various environmental problems such as electromagnetic effect to human health. For analyzing the weight factors by AHP technique, the questionnaire process was applied to the fifteen committee members including representatives of resident, academic experts, members of local assembly, officers of local government, journalists, etc. in Gangwondo, Korea. Weight factors for siting the electric facilities by AHP committee members resulted in residential areas 35.06%, cultural assets 16.68%, landscape conservation 13.11%, large-scale ecological corridor 10.17%, connectability of electric transmission line 8.32% respectively. The distance from residential areas was the most important factor preferred by committee members for siting the electric facilities.

Drought forecasting is crucial to minimize the damage to food security and water resources caused by drought. Satellite-based drought research has been conducted since 1980s, which includes drought monitoring, assessment, and prediction. Unlike numerous studies on drought monitoring and assessment for the past few decades, satellite-based drought forecasting has gained popularity in recent years. For successful drought forecasting, it is necessary to carefully identify the relationships between drought factors and drought conditions by drought type and lead time. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research trends and challenges for satellite-based drought forecasts focusing on lead times. Based on the recent literature survey during the past decade, the satellite-based drought forecasting studies were divided into three groups by lead time (i.e., short-term, sub-seasonal, and seasonal) and reviewed with the characteristics of the predictors (i.e., drought factors) and predictands (i.e., drought indices). Then, three major challenges-difficulty in model generalization, model resolution and feature selection, and saturation of forecasting skill improvement-were discussed, which led to provide several future research directions of satellite-based drought forecasting.

환경변화는 생물의 성장과 번식 등의 생활사에 영향을 주며, 생물은 살아가는 서식환경에서 생태적 적합도를 가장 극대화 시킬 수 있도록 적응되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 동적상태의존모델을 이용하여 수온과 용존산소량의 변화가 어류의 초기 성장과 체내 스트레스 누적 과정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 어류의 생활사 모델은 취식 행동이 성장과 체내 스트레스 누적에 영향을 받는다고 가정하였다. 또한 수온과 용존산소량의 임계점은 가장 빠른 성장속도를 유도하는 수온과 용존산소량으로 가정하였다. 이에 모델은 수온과 용존산소량의 임계점에서 성장속도가 가장 빨랐으며 임계점보다 크거나 낮은 경우 성장속도는 느렸다. 용존산소량의 저산소 상태는 체내에 누적된 스트레스양의 증가로 성장속도는 느렸고, 고산소 상태는 성장속도를 향상 시켰으나 누적된 스트레스로 신체 크기를 감소시켰다. 본 연구를 통해 환경변화가 생물에 미치는 영향을 예측하는데 있어 단일 또는 독립적인 환경요인 보다 복합적 요인들의 영향이 높음을 보였다. 따라서 환경영향평가에서 환경변화에 대한 영향 예측을 향상시키기 위하여 생리생태학적 측면에서의 복합적 환경 요인을 평가에 도입이 필요하고 또한 관련된 기법 개발에 대한 연구가 후속 되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 초음파 속도법을 콘크리트의 초기동해 피해를 진단하기 위한 방법으로서의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 모르타르 시험체를 대상으로 각각 동결 깊이에 따른 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도를 측정하여 미세구조와 그 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 동결 피해를 입은 모르타르 시험체와 피해를 입지 않은 시험체 간의 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도 값의 차이가 확연하게 나타났으며, 미세구조 분석을 통해 동결 깊이가 증가할수록 초기동해 피해를 더 많이 받아 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도가 감소하였다고 판단할 수 있었다. 회귀분석을 통해 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 추정식과 실험값과의 관계성을 나타내는 결정계수( R²)가 0.87로 얻어져 초기동해 피해 깊이에 따른 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도 사이의 상호 연관성이 존재하는 것으로 분석된다. 이에 따라 초음파 속도법을 통한 콘크리트의 초기동해 피해 진단이 가능하며, 그 피해 깊이를 정량적으로 진단하기 위해서는 향후 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: This study seeks to evaluate the vulnerability assessment of the human health sector for $PM_{10}$, which is reflected in the regional characteristics and related disease mortality rates for $PM_{10}$ in Busan over the period of 2006-2010. Methods: According to the vulnerability concept suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), vulnerability to $PM_{10}$ is comprised of the categories of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The indexes of the exposure and sensitivity categories indicate positive effects, while the adaptive capacity index indicates a negative effect on vulnerability to $PM_{10}$. Variables of each category were standardized by the rescaling method, and each regional relative vulnerability was computed through the vulnerability index calculation formula. Results: The regions with a high exposure index are Jung-Gu (transportation region) and Saha-Gu (industrial region). Major factors determining the exposure index are the $PM_{10}$ concentration, days of $PM_{10}{\geq}50$, ${\mu}g/m^3$, and $PM_{10}$ emissions. The regions that show a high sensitivity index are urban and rural regions; these commonly have a high mortality rate for related disease and vulnerable populations. The regions that have a high adaptive capacity index are Jung-Gu, Gangseo-Gu, and Busanjin-Gu, all of which have a high level of economic/welfare/health care factors. The high-vulnerability synthesis of the exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity indexes show that Dong-Gu and Seo-Gu have a risk for $PM_{10}$ potential effects and a low adaptive capacity. Conclusions: This study presents the vulnerability index to $PM_{10}$ through a relative comparison using quantitative evaluation to draw regional priorities. Therefore, it provides basic data to reflect environmental health influences in favor of an adaptive policy limiting damage to human health caused by vulnerability to $PM_{10}$.

Nuclear power plant structures may be exposed to aggressive environmental effects than may cause their strength and stiffness to decrease over their service lives, Although the physics of these damage mechanisms are reasonably well understood and quantitative evaluation of their effects on time-dependent structural behavior is possible in some instances such evaluations are generally very difficult and remain novel. The assessment of existing RC containment in nuclear power plants for continued service must provide quantitative evidence that they are able to withstand future extreme loads during a service period with an acceptable level of reliability. Rational methodologies to perform the reliability assessment can be developed from mechanistic models of structural deterioration using time-dependent structural reliability analysis to take earthquake loading uncertainties into account. The final goal of this study is to develop the reliability analysis of RC containment structures. The cause of the degrading is first clarified and the reliability assessment has been conducted. By introducing stochastic analysis based on random vibration theory the reliability analysis which can determine the failure probabilities has been established.

Oil and gas contribute significantly to achieving the growing demand for energy, which is rising in parallel with population growth. The pipeline system is the main transport system used in the distribution of oil and gas because the pipeline system is considered the most effective and efficient system. The distribution system for gas and oil must guarantee security and safety. Analyzing the pipeline is necessary to ensure distribution security and safety. In this study, a finite element analysis of the gas pipeline specimen was conducted. This analysis is carried out in two stages, first structural analysis and continued with damage analysis, where the damage used is a dent. In the dent analysis, environmental conditions are applied, namely non-pressure, pressure, and full pressure. Then assessed all the results of the analysis of each stage, the assessment was carried out by verifying the results of the analysis with the applicable standard rules. So that the characteristics of the pipeline can be recognized and work accidents caused by operating pipeline failure can be avoided.

A novel damage classification method based on wavelet packet transform and statistical analysis is developed in this study for structural health monitoring. The response signal of a structure under an impact load is normalized and then decomposed into wavelet packet components. Energies of these wavelet packet components are then calculated to obtain the energy distribution. Statistical similarity comparison based on an F-test is used to classify the structure from changes in the wavelet packet energy distribution. A statistical indicator is developed to describe the damage extent of the structure. This approach is applied to the test results from simply supported reinforced concrete beams in the laboratory. Cases with single and two damages are created from static loading, and accelerations of the structure from under impact loads are analyzed. Results show that the method can be used with no reference baseline measurement and model for the damage monitoring and assessment of the structure with alarms at a specified significance level.

Indexes of safety, restoration, damage impact, and management reliability were developed to assess reliability of drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs) management. The developed indexes were applied to evaluate the reliability of the pipeline management stage during unexpected mechanical and hydraulic accidents of components. The results were used to support the decision-making process in effective management and maintenance by enhancing the administrator's system understanding and by helping to create appropriate maintenance and management policies. The results of this study indicated that application of a management reliability index to assess DWDNs reliability may help create a more effective plan for establishing DWDNs management and maintenance.
