We propose a weather-related service for fire risk assessment in order to increase fire safety awareness in everyday life. The proposed service offers a fire risk assessment level according to weather forecasts and a degree of fire risk according to fire factors under certain weather conditions. In order to estimate the fire risk, we produced a risk matrix through data mining with a decision tree using investigation data and weather data. Through the proposed service, residents can calculate the degree of fire risk under certain weather conditions using the fire factors around them. In addition, they can choose from various solutions to reduce fire risk. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed services, we developed a system that offers the services. Whenever weather forecasting is carried out by the Korea Meteorological Administration, the system produces the fire risk assessment levels for seven major cities and nine provinces of South Korea in an online process, as well as the fire risk according to fire factors for the weather conditions in each region.

Purpose : This study was attempted to check the correlation between job satisfaction and turnover intention and to provide the basic information to increase job satisfaction of fire fighters. Methods : A total of 369 questionnaires were distributed and 354 questionnaires were filled out and collected for analysis. Results : There was difference in turnover intention by general characteristics. According to position, group of Fire lieutenant or more is lower than that of Fire sergeant or less (F=3.61, p=.014). The group of rescue & emergency service and administration was significantly lower than other groups(F=4.84, p=.001). In pattern of duties, day service group was significantly lower than shift work group in .05 level(t=2.59, p=.022). Finally, in the correlation, the more job satisfaction increase, the more turnover intention decrease that represents inverse correlation between job satisfaction and turnover intention(r=-.523, p <.001). Namely, it represents the results that the higher job satisfaction is low turnover intention. Conclusion : More studies of fire officer in other cities are required to generalize the results. We have to develop program for job satisfaction for fire officer firstly, because program for job satisfaction used in this study was not developed for fire fighters.

Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.; Rosaceae) is an important fruit crop grown mainly in temperate regions of the world. Tissue culture in vitro is a biotechnological technique that has been used to genetically improve cultivars (scions) and rootstocks. This could be important in the production of genetically uniform scions and rootstocks for commercial apple production. In nurseries, apple plants are produced by grafting scions onto rootstocks. The Cornell-Geneva (Geneva® series) breeding program has bred several dwarf rootstocks that are resistant to diseases and pests and are also cold hardy. This study was conducted to determine the optimal medium strength to improve sprouting shoot rate of apical meristem of the apple rootstocks of fire blight resistance. The apple rootstocks apical meristem at size (0.2 mm to 0.3 mm) with axillary buds were cultured on the MS(Murashige & Skoog) medium supplemented with plant growth regulators. The sprouting ratio and growth characteristics was evaluated after eight weeks in vitro culture. The highest rate of bud differentiation and shoot formation were 23.8% and 55.6%, respectively. After 6 weeks, shoots were regenerated from apical meristem, and their growth characteristics was significantly varied on the respective basal medium with different plant growth regulators. Our studies showed that the apple rootstocks the apple rootstocks of fire blight resistance plantlets could be successfully produced from apical meristem differentiated out of young twigs via organogenic regeneration.

Purpose : It was to improve medical direction system through presenting need of doctor and paramedic in Korean Fire Service. Methods : This study was conducted by applying demand coefficients(4 for doctor, 3 or 4.5 for paramedic) to some data on medical director, paramedic, ambulance from National Emergency Management Agency. Results : Number of medical director & paramedic were 4 & 1,217. Number of necessary doctor for medical direction was 64 or 28(in case of direct medical direction) & 16 or 7(in case of indirect medical direction). Number of necessary paramedic for direct medical direction was 492(in case of 35% ALS ambulance) & 1,062(in case of 50% ALS ambulance). Conclusions : To improve quality & efficiency of medical direction brought up need of amendment of the Emergency Medical Services Act to apply indirect medical control such as standing orders, protocol, case review.

Demand for the highly efficient and high performance urban energy supply system having been continuously increased according to the rise of quality of life and continuously increased energy cost all over the world. The district heating and cooling system is very effective way for energy saving, cost reduction, and demand side management of energy. There are several district cooling supply technologies such as chilled water direct transportation, installation of absorption type chiller in the user side, and desiccant cooling. This study investigates the advantage and technical problems of each district cooling technology. Also, it is necessary political and financial support system for the extension of district cooling system.

Nowadays national research and development fund is continuously increased. And the evaluation on the feasibility of R&D budget investment was carried out. Through this study it was possible that a business feasibility evaluation of large scale research project. Also the benefit of research project about large scale plant(A plant) is $2.67{\sim}3.76$ times of research funds, and the R&D fund pay-back period is $6{\sim}8$ years. And also there is employment effect as $1,200{\sim}2,200$ every year, and $22,000{\sim}35,000$ within 20 years after research project.

It is difficult for a superintendent or an operator of building service systems and equipment to decide the reasonable time for management of himself due to the shortage of his specialty for repair or replacement of a part of or whole equipment. But The reliable life expectancies for various building service equipment have not been prepared yet. This study shows the difference of optimal economic life and the decrease of running cost and energy consumption according to management level of the building equipment by the LCC analysis. The numerical model for building HVAC system was composed and analyses were performed for several parameters with management.

The building HVAC systems have very different qualities of performance and durability with the superintendent's ability for management and maintenance. The poor management of these systems finally lead to the shortening of the life expectancy and result in the increase of operating costs and energy consumptions due to low efficiencies. So it is essential to try to develop ways to adequately maintain and to use the building facilities efficiently in order to preserve earth environment and the limited resource. In this study, the LCC based numerical calculation package will be developed for the efficient maintenance plan and the determination of the reasonable time of repair or replacement of equipments.

In this study it was evaluated that hybrid air conditioning and ventilation system to reduce energy consumption and keep on comfortable indoor environment in an underground shopping center. Room temperature by hybrid HAVC system was controled as $1.8{\sim}2.1^{\circ}C$ low and indoor humidity was controled as $4.1{\sim}5.0%RH$ low, and response was fast in $2.0{\sim}2.5$ times compared with conventional system. And also transportation efficiency of hybrid HVAC system was improved in about 27%, and total energy consumption rate of hybrid HVAC system is decreased in 16% compared with conventional system.
