This study aims to estimate the economic effects of the simulation golf industry. Two steps are taken. Step 1 is to calculate the direct effect which includes input required to install the facility and consumer's fee to pay for the simulation golf, and the indirect effect which includes the introduction of the field golf course derived from simulation golf. Step 2 is to calculate the production, value added and employment inducement effect. As a result of this calculation, total production inducement effect is 3.6 trillion won, value-added inducement effect is calculated at about 1.66 trillion won, while employment inducement effect is 34.6 thousand people in 2011. This study is expected to contribute to providing a basis for the policy to support the simulation industry and for estimation of the economic effect in the different simulation industry such as the simulation baseball.

Objectives: This study examined the impact of a smoke-free policy on indoor air quality at indoor recreation facilities by assessing $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations before and after the implementation of the new policy. Methods: Using real-time monitors, $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were measured in 50 billiard rooms and 50 golf simulator rooms in Seoul, Korea. The characteristics of the indoor recreation facilities, smoking status, and atmospheric conditions were recorded at the same time.After the enforcement of a smoke-free policy, $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations, installation of smoking room, and smoking status were examined when the facilities were revisited. Results: Almost a half of the billiard rooms and over 80% of golf simulator rooms were located underground. Seventy percent of the billiard rooms and one hundred percent of the golf simulator rooms were equipped with a local exhaust ventilation system. After the implementation of the smoke-free policy, 46% of the billiard rooms and 20% of the golf simulator rooms newly installed a smoking room. In the billiard rooms with a newly-installed smoking room, the $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations decreased from 97.9 to $45.6{\mu}g/m^3$ after the implementation of the smoke-free policy. The same change of 29.0 to $ 26.3{\mu}g/m^3$ was not statistically significant in golf simulator rooms. Indoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were correlated with outdoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations, number of smokers, and number of people in the room. Conclusions: The smoke-free policy for indoor recreation facilities was not effective at making the indoor spaces free from second hand smoke. Although a few billiard rooms installed a smoking room, indoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were still higher than those of outdoor $PM_{2.5}$ or atmospheric $PM_{2.5}$. Stricter enforcement of the smoke-free policy should be achieved to prevent secondhand smoke exposure.

In the research, we develope and use the digital score card to prevent disqualifying with error as inputting wrong score card and to protect the player in this paper. Also, it will lead the world wide market as IT and golf strong country. Therefore, we checked the mutual relationship through the analysis and verification with research of contents and collection of questionnaire regarding the research. In the result of analysis, S/W need output function and data management to play golf and H/W need the simple design and durability for user easy access and multi function excluding score card. Therefore, the development of digital golf score card will contribute athletic performance through removing the inconvenience of current score card. And we confirmed that developed digital golf card model and system is very important to open world market.
