In this paper, we propose the car plate recognition using SOM algorithm and describe the parking control system using the proposed car plate recognition. The recognition of car plate was investigated by means of the SOM algorithm. The morphological information of horizontal and vertical edges was used to extract a plate area from a car image. In addition, the 4-direction contour tracking algorithm was applied to extract the specific area, which includes characters from an extracted plate area. The extracted characteristic area was recognized by using the SOM algorithm. In this paper, 50 car images were tested. The extraction rate obtained by the proposed extraction method showed better results than that from the color information of RGB and HSI, respectively. And the car plate recognition using SOM algorithm was very efficient. We develop the parking control system using the proposed car plate recognition that shows performance improvement by the experimental results.

In this paper, we proposed a miniaturized folded inverted F antenna with ISM-band (center frequency : 447 MHz) for mounting in intelligent parking sensor. First, to mount the antenna in the intelligent parking sensor module (72 mm × 70 mm) with limited size, a folded inverted F antenna was designed at low frequency 447 MHz (wavelength λ : 670 mm) of the ISM-band. As a result, it resonates in the ISM band and obtains suitable characteristic with a -10 dB bandwidth of 13 MHz (2.9%). In addition, the H-plane pattern by the vertical and horizontal elements represents the omni-directional patterns from which the null point is removed, and the E-plane has directivity in a specific direction. Finally, it is suitable as and antenna for vehicle management in parking lots.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to be performed with studio-type housings among urban life-type housings to investigate the physical characteristic and crime-related factors of studios from the viewpoint of the basic principles of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). Method: Eight CPTED guidelines available in Korea were reviewed to select 20 planing factors for actual condition investigation. Five single households in studio-type housings in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, were chosen according to the subject screening criteria to perform the actual condition investigation. Results: First, a lighting plan around a building for natural surveillance should consider the building location, relation with the front road, and surrounding facilities. In a building of a piloti structure, the parking lot and the building gate should be arranged in a manner that enables natural surveillance. Second, the shape of the corridors in studio-type housings should be considered to plan the installation of a lighting at the door of each household, the installation of a viewer window at the door of each household, and the arrangement of the elevator. Third, to support access control, an access control system having the function of video and voice communication is recommended to be installed at the building gate. Criteria for the type of security windows and the floors on which security windows should be installed, and the regulations about the CCTV installation inside and outside the building should be prepared. Fourth, to enhance territoriality in parking lots, ground patterns, parking lot gate, and signs may be installed. Fifth, in view of effective utilization and maintenance, lighting facilities should be installed to increase the usability of ground parking lots, and relevant installation criteria should be prepared regarding the type, number, and brightness of the lightings.

This study was designed to know the dwellers opinions about their preferred element of for housing in order to enhance the level of environment through better housing plan. The main tasks of investigation were to: (1) determine the preferred elements of design for housing. (2) determine the usage of outdoor space dwellers prefer, (3) ascertain what kinds of management program and public facilities dwellers need. The sample, of 450 dwellers, was selected from the apartments in Kimhae. In complete questionnaires were not used in the analysis of data, thus, the total research sample consisted of 400 dwellers. The questionnare was developed by the researcher for this study. Data were collected during June 1996. Respones from 400 dwellers were processed by SAS package program using frequency counts, percentages and x2 to analyze the data. The major findings were: (1) that size of house, number of bed room, number of bath room, housing type that they want were significantly different according to the characteristic of the dwellers, (2) they preferred in individual heating system to the centralized heating system of the compound, and the preferrence differed significantly in accordance with what system they are using now, (3) they wanted to have more green zone than enlarging childrens' play ground or parking lot, (4) about the management program and public facilities they wanted, there was no significant difference according to the characteristic of the dwellers.

The deteriorated apartments make a social problem in now a days. After all a new alternative plan for deteriorated apartments such as the remodelling concept must be considered. This study aims to survey the needs levels among residents in deteriorated apartments relating to remodelling. It might provide the basic data which could be used for the analysis of consumers in the future implementation of deteriorated remodelling projects. The analytical methods applied for this study were t-test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc estimation(Scheff test) by the SPSS 10.1 for Windows program. The analysis of the need levels for the areas of remodelling, by the family characteristic variable, residence value viewpoint, and residence satisfaction level, indicated that the demand level for ‘equipment ’was the highest, followed by the order of ‘structure’ and ‘interior’. The need levels for ‘security’, ‘parking lot’, ‘public facilities in apartment block’, and ‘landscape’ were generally low but in the group of high income, the need levels were comparatively high.

Apartment housing block has been spreaded according to rapid economic development and urbanization in Korea. A parking lot is located at underground, artificial ground is inevitably created in apartment housing block. Artificial ground creates different thermal environment compared to natural ground, because the composition and coverage of artificial ground are diverse. In this study, the effect of the artificial ground on building thermal environment will be disscussed by simulation. Considering the result of simulation, surface albedo is more important for building energy performance. A purpose of this study is to examine how the characteristic of surface effect to thermal environment, and to develop design method for sustainable outdoor space.

The subject of this research is to analyze the design characteristics of outdoor spaces in Good Design awarded apartment complexes in the past decade. The results are as follows. First, the overall outdoor space design theme, one of the conceptual elements, is focused on both 'nature' and 'story of various subject' that are similar to each other. Second, the case study object with the visual openness, which is secured between apartment blocks, is shown frequently in case box-shaped apartment blocks are arranged in a row. However, in case of Y-shaped block arrangement, the visual openness secured within an apartment complex is considered more important. Third, according to the result of circulation/ inner path element, the most frequently appeared inner path form is a grid pattern with straight path emphasis. While apartment complexes with the parking lot on the ground are only 3 out of 18 cases, it with circulation path for vehicle on the ground level are over 61%. Fourthly, the design characteristic of social space of physical outdoor design appears to be 'central link facility type'. In this case, the central community facilities are more likely to be combined with various functions, such as green, water, and social connection. Fifthly, in case of natural space, most of the apartment cases are shown over 45% green area ratio with wide green and water space provision. Especially, the differentiation is to provide the space where can stimulate a resident's participation.

Lots of characteristics such as dwelling, neighborhood, and accessibility characteristics affect to the housevalue. Many researches have been done to identify values of each characteristic using hedonic technique. However, there is a limit to identify interaction of each characteristic and variation of each characteristic among the accessibility context. This paper has implemented the Expansion Method research paradigm to model the housevalue determination process in the city of Seoul. The findings of this paper have revealed the presence of contextual variations in the housevalue determination process. The initial model for housevalue reveals that as $F_1$ increases (i.e., larger the number of rooms/bathrooms, larger parking space) and/or $F_2$ increases (i.e., higher owner occupied housing units, higher apartment housing units) and/or $F_3$ increases, (i.e., higher the ratio of higher than college graduated households, 8 school zone, older housing units) the estimated housevalue increases. However, the above relationships drift across their respective contexts. The houses which have negative $F_1$ value, the housevalue does not fluctuate according to the distance to the city center or subcenters. However, the houses which have positive $F_1$ value, the closer to the subcenters or shorter to the river, the higher the estimated housevalues. On the other hand, in areas far from the subcenters, the estimated housevalues does not fluctuate much according to the corresponding $F_2$ level. In areas close to the subcenters, the estimated housevalues vary tremendously according to the $F_2$ value. In the residual analysis, it is revealed that large apartment which are located in Kangnam, IchongDong, MokDong are underestimated. This paper has contributed to our understanding of the housevalue determination process by providing an alternative conceptualization to the traditional approach.
