  • Korean tourist areas are designated/managed in accordance with the Tourism Promotion Act. Since Taejongdae was designated as a tourist area in 1969, a total of 230 tourist areas have been designated/built/operated. It has been 46 years since the first tourist area was designated. According to the Tourism Area Life Cycle by Butler, it is estimated that the flow of the life cycle will be reflected in ups and downs over time. Thus, this study aimed to provide basic data for suggesting the direction of changes and development of the future tourist areas after analyzing the life cycle stage of domestic tourist areas, by applying the Tourism Area Life Cycle by Butler. The research method was based on the tourist areas by year, the number of visitors, and data of the target to derive the change transition curve, obtained by dividing the life cycle stages of the tourist areas based on the visitor rate of change. In the analysis results, more than 1/3 of domestic tourist areas are reaching the stagnation/decline stage, and tourist areas such as hot springs and seaside/beach resources show a particularly high ratio of stagnation/decline. The tourist areas that already have reached the stagnation/decline stage will need to analyze the causes for the decline, seek for resolution measures, and introduce new innovative elements. Even though the results of this study are not sufficient to be used as an absolute standard to decide the life cycle stage of domestic tourist areas, it is considered to be adequate for phenomenologically understanding the life cycle stage of Korean tourist areas. Based on this study, the causes for the stagnation/decline of tourist areas can be revealed while it can be also used as basic research to establish revitalization measures for tourist areas by introducing new innovation.

  • Although overseas countries have already developed data life cycle for the preservation and curation of data since the 1990s, the research in Korea has been very insufficient. In this study, we analyzed the data life cycles developed in DCC, ICPSR, IWGDD, DataONE, USGS and UKDA to propose data life cycle for efficient management of research data. As a result of the analysis, the common components derived are 'Plan', 'Create & Collect', 'Process', 'Preserve', 'Dispose', 'Access & Use', 'Describe', 'Assure' and 'Backup & Secure'. In addition, the nine components were subdivided into stages to describe the details to be carried out at that stage. It is expected that the content of this study will be applicable in the future development of data life cycle for research data management in Korea.

  • Purpose - This study aims to study the activation pattern of declining industries by applying the Gompertz growth model using available resources based on the theory of industrial life cycle, classifying declining industries among Korean manufacturing industries, and identifying resource input characteristics. Research design and methodology - This study was conducted by combining the Gompertz growth model that predicts the limit of output based on available resources under the industrial life cycle theory. Using Gompertz model, this study analyzed the life cycle of 39 Korean manufacturing industries from the perspective of domestic production, number of employees, and fixed assets Results - According to a life cycle analysis of 39 manufacturing industries in Korea, the computer, textile, and shoe industries were classified as declining industries. Among them, research on resource input characteristics on the shoe industry showed that domestic production and the number of employees decreased, while the proportion of domestic R&D personnel and the number of research departments gradually increased. Conclusion - Among the declining industries in Korea, the shoe industry is considered to revitalize the industry, that is, to extend the life of the declining industry by offshoring its production site and improving constitution with a "R&D center for global" support.

  • 현재 자동차의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 가장 착실한 엔진은 수소를 이용한 연료 전지라고 판단된다. 연료전지는 화학적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 직접 변환하는 장치이다. 순수한 연료전지 차량과 연료전지 하이브리드 차량을 비교 분석하였다. 연료전지 하이브리드 차량에서 고려하여야할 점은 효율, 연료경제성, 출력 특성 등이 있다. FUDS 싸이클 시뮬레이션 비교를 하면 하이브리드화가 순수 연료전지 차량 보다 효율이 높다. 이는 회생 제동 에너지를 이용할 수 있으며 battery를 이용하여 연료전지를 효율적인 영역에서 작동하게 할 수 있기 때문이다. Life cycle 비용은 연료전지의 크기, 연료전지의 가격, 수소의 가격 등에 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 연료전지의 가격이 고가이면 하이브리드화가 유리하나, 연료전지의 가격이 400$/kW 이하가 되면 순수한 연료전지 자동차가 비용면에서 유리 하다.

  • This paper investigates how the weights of performance measures vary depending on corporate life cycle, such as birth, growth, maturity, revival, and decline. Balanced Scorecard performance measures are employed for this investigation. Balanced Scorecard has been widely used for measuring a corporate Performance by incorporating financial and non-financial measures simultaneously. Because these performance measures are related to the compensation and promotion of employees, research of weights of performance measures would be instrumental. Questionnaires from 218 companies are analyzed. Depending on the corporate life cycle, our survey results demonstrate that the weights of the business Performance measures differ In the four Perspectives - financial. customer, Internal Process, and learning/growth. Our results can be used for enhancing the Duality of performance measurement systems.

  • This study is intended to propose a systematic and practical life cycle cost(LCC) model for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges. The LCC models consist of five cost functions such as initial cost, repair/replacement cost, human losses, road user cost, and indirect losses of regional economy. The proposed model Is successfully expressed in temrs of Park-Ang damage indices and life cycle damage probability obtained from SMART-DRAIN-2DX which is an existing algorithm for nonlinear time history analysis. The proposed LCC model is successfully applied to a viaduct constructed by PSM, in Seoul. Based on the observations, the proposed systematic procedure for the formulation of LCC model may be useful for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges.

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to analyze possible impact upon manufacturing process and availability of products, and also study the environmental considerations and potential influence during entire life cycle ranging from procurement, production and utilization to treatment (namely, from cradle to tomb). Based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe manufacturing of company A, this case study would involve evaluation of environmental influence during the production process. When the manufacturing process has been improved during "production process" and "forming cooling" stage, it is found that capital input on "electric power" and "water supply" could be reduced, thus helping to sharpen the competitive power of company A, and also ensure sustainable economic and industrial development in accordance with national policies on environmental protection.

  • RAMS is becoming increasingly important in the decision making process for the rolling stock projects in order to improve competitiveness by reducing system life cycle cost while improving reliability, availability, maintainability and safety. In order to apply and manage RAMS of rolling stock systems effectively in the operator perspective, it is essential to integrate and control RAMS systematically from the early stage of rolling stock projects. RAMS management is to implement a RAMS system into rolling stock projects in terms of a rolling stock operator, which presents the strategic directions of RAMS policy, objectives, requirements, control, analysis, measurement and improvement throughout life cycle of rolling stock projects. This article presents a new framework of RAMS management that provides an effective and efficient way for managing RAMS in rolling stock systems in the railway industry.
