PM10 concentration of total 48 samples collected from 4 sites (the root of Miryang University, Sangnam township Office in Miryang. the root of Changwon elementary school, and Junam reservoir in Changwon) turned out to range from 42.29 to 69.49{\mu}g/m^{3}$, and the average concentration was the root of Changwon elementary school $(69.49{\mu}g/m^{3})$>the root of Miryang university $(58.59{\mu}g/m^{3})$>Junam reservoir $(43.56{\mu}g/m^{3})$>Sangnam township Office $(42.29{\mu}g/m^{3}).> In particular, Junam reservoir, the Clean Area, had a slightly higher value than Sangnam township Office. It was thought although the site was plane and windy without pollutants around. it had a higher concentration value influenced by external factors including bigger population and a northeasterly wind due to a newly-established industrial complex nearby. As for water-soluble ions among PM10 particle collected in Miryang and Changwon area, SO42- accounted for $50{/%}$ and NO3-, was $35{\%}$, and the concentration order was S042->N03->Cl->F-. As for the average concentration of metallic components among PM10 particle collected in Miryang and Changwon area. the root of Changwon elementary school had the AI concentration, Fe concentration and Zn concentration 4 times, 3 times and 1.5 times that of Junam reservoir, respectively. The root of Miryang University had the AI concentration 2 times that of Sangnam township Office, and had Fe concentration and Zn concentration $1.2\~1.5$ times those of Sangnam township Office. When it comes to the relation between metallic elements and meteorological factors in Changwon area, the highest coefficient of correlation was between temperature and humidity with 0.92, and temperature and wind speed turned out in the reverse correlation. The coefficient of correlation between Al and Cr was as high as 0.78. Among metallic elements, the coefficient of correlation between Cu and Pb, Cd, Al were 0.84, 0.85, 0.79, respectively. It is thought that the high coefficient of correlation between Cu and Pb is ascribed to busy traffic and wind in the urban areas, Sammun-dong and Gagok-dong in Miryang. Meanwhile, the coefficients of correlation between Fe and Cu, Al, Zn, Cd, Pb were in the reverse correlation. These coefficients of correlation are attributed to the difference in pollutant sources, rather than difference in pollutant and non-pollutant.

This study tried to categorize the types of mountain-village areas in terms of some key variables representing the socio-economic and natural characteristics in order to provide basic information for policy formation of mountain areas. Cross-sectional data of the year 1990 for 900 sub-counties were collected to analyse the characteristics of mountain-village areas. Eleven variables were selected to classify the types of sub-county levels. According to the results of the study, the socio-economic conditions of mountain-village areas represented by the number of corporations, number of non-farming households, and population density of mountain-village areas were found to be inferior to other parts of the nation while the proportion of forest land, share of non-paddy crop fields, distance from cities, percentage of farming households, and elevation from the sea-level were higher to the other areas. By the principal factor analysis, the key variables representing industrial development, mountain-ousness, and accessibility from near cities were selected. By a cluster analysis employing the selected variables, 5 different types of mountain-village areas were categorized.

Recent market environment shows a new relationship between customer and company, which you could not observe in the past. Customers now are used to various benefits through the participation of marketing process. It is no wonder that customers visit company web site, gather a lot of information about the product on the website, and express their satisfaction and opinions about the product. Furthermore, these activities are being made ubiquitously. Despite the fact there are a lot of customer participation in the Internet environment, Customers Participation has been given little attention in the academic literature. This study explores the effect of the properties of Internet infra on customers participation. The implications of this study are as follows. First, by reviewing the literature on the performance and process of customers participation in the marketing activities, this study identifies why customers did not participate in the marketing activities under non-Internet environment. Second, this study identifies the properties of Internet infra influencing customers informative participation. Third, we suggest some managerial strategies for enhancing the performance of a company by customer participation. Consequently, we suggest managerial implications for completely different marketing strategies in response to customers participation in the marketing activities under the digital environment.

In this study, we intend to test whether experience variables such as sense, feel, think, relate, and action experiential activities of farming village can be usefully applied to revisit intention. As a result, we found that the sense, relate, and action experiences were adopted, while the feel and think variables were rejected, leading to the conclusion that Schmitt's (1999) experiential marketing theory was also applied to 6th industry experience marketing activities in rural areas. Therefore, the significant effect of rural experience activities on revisiting intention is thought to be related to the fact that they stimulated sensitivities by drawing attention and interest of consumers during the 6th industrial experience configuration, and to the environmental facilities connected to the experience site. The Feel experience has been rejected due to limitation of development of emotional element from the 6th industry certification business experience program, leading to the necessicity for development of a program that can stimulate the consumer's emotions. The reason why the Think experience was rejected is that the experience of the rural area 6th industry did not create surprises or curiosity, and thus does not meet the expectations of consumers. In case of relational experience, experiential marketing through social organizational relationship formation is expanding, and in case of behavioral experience, experience of 6th industry constitutes experience related to interaction with others and lifestyle.

Groundwater quality monitoring wells, which is over 2,000 in South Korea, were managed to observe groundwater quality since the early 1990s. Groundwater was sampled and analyzed biannually from 781 monitoring wells located in the areas with a high possibility of pollution. The average concentrations of cyanide, mercury, phenols, hexavalent chromium, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylen, and 1.1.1-trichloroethane for 12 years' data of detected cases were above the groundwater quality standard, but the average concentrations of the general quality items such as pH, electric conductivity, nitrate-nitrogen, and chloride, are below the standard. To compare a quality trend for each land-use type of the monitoring site, Sen's method is used for four quality items; chloride, nitrate-nitrogen, pH, and electric conductivity. The upward trend for these items is remarkable in urbideareas and industrial complexes and this trend continues still strongly after 2001. The deviation in a trend slopes of monitoring wells becomes bigger in the mid-2000s. In conclusion, trend analysis using existing monitoring data cidebe effective to forecast the future water quality condition and the solid action to protect groundwater quality should be done in advance using a result of trend analysis.

The formation of slopes is unavoidable under the special circumstance of Korea where $7%$ of the whole area are composed of mountains and civil engineering projects such as road and site developments are increasing with industrial development and horizontal expansions of urban area. Stability of slopes is one of quite important issues under special meteorological characteristics that over two-thirds of annual average rainfall is concentrated in summer season and the localized torrential downpour is getting more frequent recently. As a result of these circumstances, partial slope failures by debris flow of the high water content soils occur frequently in cut soil slopes. In this case of debris flow slope failure, slope declination method is selected fur the stable recovery because it is impossible to recover entirely by existing recovery methods. Seeding or special grass planting methods are followed separately without exception. The method by which entire recover with bigger stability ratio would be possible and grass planting work would be done simultaneously is developed. For debris flow failure slopes, this study secured the safety of slopes by preventing the inflow of rainwater and scour using geosynthetics-reinforced embankment, and created nature-friendly slopes by planting trees on the slopes.

As the industrial society is highly developing, human need in daily life has also changed drastically. With the introduction of 40 hour working week system, more households enjoy picnics on weekends. More gas accidents take place on Saturdays and on Sundays than any other days of week. In this context, the Institute of Gas Technology Training in Korea Gas Safety Corporation carries out explosion experiment to make trainees to take all possible measure to ensure safe management of gas in the field by fully recognizing the hazards of gas explosion accidents. In this study, the influence of explosion over-pressure caused by the rupture of butane can thrown away after use was calculated by using the Hopkinson's Scaling Law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent people into the Probit model. The value of those away from 50 meters from the explosion site was 1.35kPa and the peak overpressure to thoes away from 25 meters directly was 3.2kPa. Those value was input to the PROBIT model, the estimation showed the sante result 0 percent of damage possibility.

In constructing projects, there exist various kinds of work interferences, which cause a delay of the outset and completion of planned schedule because of some attributions, such as variability, uncertainty and complexity, and so schedule delay has been treated as a natural phenomenon. To reduce or prevent the schedule delay, a constant confirmation of schedule delay and a preparation of counter plans for finding out the cause structure of schedule delay should have been done. However, all this time the research has been mostly done on the calculation method or claim cases of schedule delay, and the range of analysis method of the cause structure of schedule delay has been multifarious from industrial views to views of specific work. Moreover, the classifying system and analysis method did not consider the trait, which cause the schedule delay, in constructing projects. For this reason, it is difficult to compare the cause of delay factors of the projects and to understand the effect of schedule delay by each factor. This paper restricts the range of the cause analysis of schedule delay to the field of site management in the projects and divides the cause structure of schedule delay into the cause objects and cause attributes of schedule delay according to the input elements. The system of classifying causes of schedule delay is examined by interviews with experts and questionnaire. Additionally, this paper analyzes the attributes of cause attributes and cause subjects and presents the analysis method and procedure of schedule delay with the application of VSM.

In construction site, conventional methods such as jackhammer or explosive methods(dynamite) have been often used for the demolition of structures. Use of those methods are more carefully treated in environmentally and historically sensitive area. For those reasons, use of Soundless Chemical Demolition Agent(SCDA) is getting the spotlight. The SCDA is a powder which has expansive strength when it is mixed with water. In these Characteristics, SCDA can destroy the concrete or rock as it is poured into boreholes of the concrete or rock structures. However, there is no industrial standard for the use of SCDA effectively yet. In this study, experimental study to measure the expansive pressure was conducted depending on various boundary conditions such as waterproof, length of the steel pipe, submerged of steel pipe. Furthermore, computational analysis using damage plasticity model to predict the minimum required pressure of the SCDA for the concrete demolition depending on spacing between holes(k-factor) and compressive strength of the concrete was conducted. Obtained results indicates that water heat dissipation with submerged steel pipe shows the stable pressure for measuring the SCDA and hole distance(k-factor) is the most important factor for crack initiation of concrete.
