  • Evaluation of construction claims history can provide insights to improvement opportunities in a capital project portfolio. This study analyzed construction litigation claims extracted from the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC) history involving the U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) from 1995-2004. Twenty-four total cases were examined over this period. Both "primary" causes and "root" causes were identified and compared to 666 litigation cases reviewed by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA). Based on the analysis, strategies for resolving future disputes are recommend using a 'hybrid' process prior to litigation.

  • The construction industry is undergoing a digital transformation in which Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a key technology. The potential of BIM in several areas such as design optimization, time management, cost management, and asset management/facility management (AM/FM) is widely acknowledged by the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) industry around the world. However, BIM implementation in construction projects is faced with problems such as project delay and cost overruns. The lack of identification of risks in BIM projects and standard guidelines on mitigation techniques furthers poor performance, dissatisfaction, and disputes between employers and project participants, which results in low BIM adoption rates. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to identify the potential risks in BIM implementation under the primary categories - (1) technical, (2) contractual, (3) management-related, and (4) personnel-related risks in BIM projects and present solutions to reduce, manage, and mitigate risks. To meet the objective of this paper, a survey was designed and conducted in the Hong Kong construction industry in which over 140 respondents from different disciplines, with experience in BIM projects, have participated. Based on the analysis of the survey data, the most severe and frequently occurring BIM risks and their potential mitigation strategies were identified and discussed in this paper.

  • The purpose of this study is to find a solution to disputes in the process of producing digital music sources. At present, the center of the world music market including the domestic market has been completely transformed from the tangible musical record market to the intangible sound source market. Due to these environmental changes, the music production process becomes industrialized and specialized, causing conflicts of interest among the individuals in the process. First of all, this study examined changes in the music market which is the background of the dispute, identified the problems of the process and suggested solutions while summarizing the meaning and role of each process of producing a sound source that may arise during the sound production process. This study covers plagiarism between producers, copyright infringement of the creator against assistant creator caused by the industrialization and division of the production environment, issues related to the rights of sound engineers whose role and importance become bigger as acoustic technology develops and music genres become more diverse, and vertical hierarchy due to the formation of oligopoly by several distributors with huge capital. As a result of the study, it was concluded that Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system is suitable for solving these problems. Specific methods of using ADR include activation of the dispute settlement system of the Korea Copyright Commission, active use of the arbitration clause specified in the standard contract, and recalculation of labor costs and earnings from copyright through mutual negotiations. This paper can be differentiated from previous studies in that it studied overall problems that might arise in the process of digital music source production and suggested ADR utilization as the solution.

  • 2013년 전체 신규 주택 수요 중에서 아파트 등의 공동주택이 차지하는 비중이 89.9%이다. 이와 같이 공동주택의 다수의 세대가 함께 거주함으로써 이웃 간 층간소음에 관한 분쟁은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 한국에서의 층간소음 문제는 세계적으로 상당히 심각한 수준으로 국민의 약 88%가 층간소음 스트레스를 받고 있다. 한편, 정부는 층간소음 분쟁 완화를 위해 바닥두께 및 바닥충격음 저감성능 등과 같은 규제강화와 공동주택 단지별로 자체적인 해결을 유도하고 있다. 하지만 이와 같은 물리적 규제와 소극적인 관리정책으로는 층간소음 분쟁완화에 한계가 있다. 또한, 실내 정온한 생활환경을 위한 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 층간소음에 대한 건강영향이 고려된 정책마련이 필요하다. 따라서 소음노출에 따른 인체반응 연구사례를 조사하여 소음이 건강에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 층간소음 노출기간에 따른 건강영향을 고찰하였다.

  • 최근 국내 건설계약 문화가 선진화 되어가고 클레임 발생 건수가 증가함에 따라 클레임 관리의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 선진 외국의 경우 분쟁 예방 및 건설 분쟁에 따른 문제점을 최소화하기 위한 클레임 관리 기법의 개발 및 클레임 자료의 데이터베이스화 방안에 관한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져 왔으나, 국내의 경우 최근 클레임 발생 건수의 급속한 증가 추세에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 클레임 판례/사례, 유권해석 및 법률조항의 분석을 통해 규명된 원인요소를 중심으로 클레임의 예방과 해결을 위한 분류체계 및 알고리즘을 개발하고, 웹 및 데이터베이스 기술을 활용하여 건설 프로젝트 참여 주체들이 자신의 클레임 사안들을 보다 쉽게 분석하고 예방과 해결을 위한 의사결정을 지원할 수 있도록 하는 전산화 시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 개발 시스템의 활용을 통해 건설 프로젝트 참여 주체는 클레임 판례/사례, 유권해석, 법률조항, 책임관계 및 타당성 등을 체계적으로 분석하여 예측 가능한 클레임을 사전에 대비하고 발생된 클레임 사안에 효과적으로 대처하여 클레임 처리 업무의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Engineering projects often run into "difficult" ground donditions which cause delays, failures, hugely increased costs or even abandonment with consequent disputes and claims. Pertinent questions are "what constitute difficult conditions\ulcorner" and "how might they be foreseen\ulcorner" and these questions provide the focus for this paper. Geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological models for engineering projects(simplified representations of the ground) need to be developed in a systematic manner. Within these models, the potential hazards associated with material (small) and mass (large) scale attributes of the geology, the environmental setting and the influence of the engineering works themselves need to be considered individually and in a progressive, systematic manner. This paper introduces the concept of a Geotechnical Hazard Review with reference to examples from various engineering works.

  • Contracting is said to be a high-risk business, and a common cause of business failure is related to cash management. A contractor's financial viability depends heavily on how actual payments from an owner deviate from those defined in the contract. The paper presents a method for contractors to evaluate the punctuality and fullness of owner payments based on historical behaviour. It does this by classifying owners according to their late and incomplete payment practices. A payment profile of an owner, in the form of aging claims submitted by the contractor, is used as a basis for the method's development. Regression trees are constructed based on three predictor variables, namely, the average time to payment following a claim, the total amount ending up being paid within a certain period and the level of variability in claim response times. The Tree package in the publicly available R program is used for building the trees. The analysis is particularly useful for contractors at the pre-tendering stage, when contractors predict the likely payment scenario in an upcoming project. Based on the method, the contractor can decide whether to tender or not tender, or adjust its financial preparations accordingly. The paper is a contribution in risk management applied to claim and dispute resolution practice. It is argued that by contractors having a better understanding of owner payment behaviour, fewer disputes and contractor business failures will occur.

  • The noise emitted from construction machinery has long been a cause of environmental disputes, especially to the nearby residents. In 2008, the Ministry of Environment adopted the construction machinery noise labeling system to encourage the development of the low noise construction machinery. After the implementation of the noise labeling system of the construction machinery, the noise emitted from the construction machinery has been decreased over the six years. But, as the quality of life improves, a growing number of people desire more comfortable and quite living environment. Under the situation, new systems like the low noise labeling system are considered to encourage the development of the low noise construction machinery. In accordance with the low noise labeling system, the construction machinery satisfying the standard of low noise are qualified to attach the low noise label in front of the products. Thus, the product qualified the low noise certification will be incentivized by the choice of the consumer. In this paper, we have studied the necessity of the low noise labeling system for the construction machinery and the considerations to adopt the low noise labeling system of construction machinery. And we have studied appropriate criterion to judge the low noise construction machinery. The considerations studied in this paper will be helpful to adopt the low noise labeling system of construction machinery in the future.

  • 본 연구는 한반도 운하 건설에 대한 사회적 갈등문제에 대하여 국내 주요 언론들이 어떠한 시각에서 해석하고 평가함으로써 이슈에 대한 성격을 어떻게 규정하는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 분석대상으로 국내 대표신문인 "조선일보", "한겨레신문", 그리고 "한국일보"를 통해 보도된 한반도 운하관련 뉴스 총 961건을 바탕으로 뉴스프레임 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 정부주도 대형 국책공사의 성격상 스트레이트 뉴스 비율이 가장 높았다. 대운하관련 기사에 대한 프레임 분석결과, 정책집행, 경제적 결과 그리고 생태 환경프레임 비율이 상대적으로 높았다. 신문사별로 "조선일보"는 경제적 결과가, "한겨레신문"은 생태환경이, 그리고 "한국일보"는 정책집행 관련 프레임 비율이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 주요 이익집단에 대한 분석을 살펴보면, 한반도 대운하 사업주체인 정부 여당 관련 보도빈도가 매우 많았다. "조선일보"는 경제 전문가 집단의 비율이 높은 것을 나타났고, "한겨레신문"은 생태 환경 관련 전문가 집단의 비율이 상대적으로 높았다. 이어서 주요행위자 프레임 분석으로는 정부의 권위적 정책집행과 경제적 결과 프레임에 대한 보도비율이 매우 높았다. 이는 대운하 건설 주체인 정부가 대국민을 상대로 운하건설에 대한 정당성과 필요성이 아닌 권위적이며 일방적으로 밀어 붙이고 있다는 뜻이기도 하다. 마지막으로 신문사별 틀 짓기 행위 프레임에 대한 특성을 살펴보면, "조선일보"는 정부의 열망과 성과 프레임의 비율이 높았으며, "한겨레신문"은 손익 프레임과 과정 프레임이 그리고 "한국일보"는 정부의 집행과정과 실체에 대한 갈등과 분쟁에 대한 보도비율이 높은 것으로 조사되었다.

  • Although the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is continuously being advanced, the number of environmental disputes regarding it is still on the rise. In order to supplement this, it is necessary to analyze the accumulated complaint cases. In this study, through the analysis of complaint cases, it is possible to identify matters that need to be improved in the existing EIA stages as well as various damages and conflicts that were not previously considered or predicted. In the process, we dervied 'complaint-based data demands' that should be additionally examined to improve the EIA. To this end, a total of 348 news articles were collected by searching with combinations of 'environmental impact assessment' and a keyword for each of the six assessment groups. As a result of analysis of collected data, a total of 54 complaint-based data demands were suggested. Among those were 15 items including 'impact of changes in seawater flow on water quality' in the category of water environment; 13 items including 'area of green buffer zone' in atmospheric environment; 10 items including 'impact of soundproof wall on wind corridor' in living environment; 8 items including 'expected number of users' in socioeconomic environment, 4 items including 'feasibility assessment of development site in terms of environmental and ecological aspects' in natural ecological environment; and 4 items including 'prediction of sediment runoff and damaged areas according to the increase in intensity and frequency of torrential rain' in land environment. In future research, more systematic complaint collection and analysis as well as specific provision methods regarding stages, subjects, and forms of use should be sought to apply the derived data demands in the actual EIA process. It is expected that this study can serve to advance the prediction and assessment of EIA in the future and to minimize environmental impact as well as social conflict in advance.
