The object of this study is the development of a Method which is enable to review the preliminary feasibility for co-generation system in new apartment buildings. In Korea co-generation systems have been installed in most of large industrial plants and commercial buildings which consume a large quantity of electric and heat energy, for energy saving and cutting products cost, under positive governmental supports. However for apartment buildings which consume quite a large electric and heat energy, are still remained in conventional energy supply system, and are not popular to utilize useful co-generation system. One of the major reason for these is the lack of clear and easy justification tool. In this circumstance, this study can provide a tool to verify the feasibility of co-generation in apartment buildings with this handy tools for planners and designers beforehand.

The distribution live-line work method is an operation method of working in a state in which electricity flows through overhead distribution lines to minimize inconvenience to electric customers due to power failure. In June 2016, to strengthen the safety of electrical workers, Korea Electric Power Corporation announced that it would in principle abolish the rubber glove method, in which workers wore protective equipment such as rubber gloves and performed their maintenance work. In addition, KEPCO announced that it would develop a short-range live working method using smart sticks and an advanced live-line maintenance robot system where workers work without touching wires directly. This paper is a preliminary study for the development of the live-line maintenance robot system, and deals with the results of analyzing the technical feasibility of whether the live works performed by workers can be replaced by robots or not.

Feasibility assessment for small hydropower plants using diversion weirs located in stream for agricultural purpose has been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the inflow caused from rainfall. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for small hydropower plants is established. Preliminary survey was performed identifying several candidate sites, and two sites were selected finally for actual site reconnaissance. During the course of site survey, generating capacity, construction and equipment cost, and payback through life time of each sites were calculated for economical feasibility analysis. The results of this study have estimated that the small hydropower plants using diversion weirs for agricultural purpose may offer better opportunities in future with increasing fuel cost and nation's energy policy.

본 연구의 목적은 도서관법 개정에 따라 의무 적용되는 공공도서관 설립 타당성 사전평가가 도서관의 질적인 측면을 개선할 수 있을지 파악하는 것이다. 이에 도서관법 개정 전 같은 목적으로 시행되었던 공공도서관 건립지원 사업 사전평가의 사례 분석을 통해 사전평가의 실효성을 분석하였다. 사전평가를 거쳐 건립된 도서관들의 경우 도서관법 시행령에서 요구하는 법정 사서 최소 기준 3명을 대부분 확보하고 있어 기본적인 도서관 인력 확보에는 도움이 된다고 할 수 있었다. 하지만 당초 계획하였던 만큼의 인력을 확보하여 운영하는 도서관은 거의 존재하지 않았고 신청서에는 도서관 운영을 직접 운영하겠다고 신청하였지만 실제 개관 시 위탁운영으로 변경된 사례도 있어 사전 검토 내역이 충실히 반영되지 않았다는 측면도 있었다. 본 연구는 사례 분석을 통하여 형식적으로 거쳐야 하는 사전 절차가 되지 않도록 법 개정에 따른 현실성 있는 사서 배치 기준의 재확립과 도서관 등록제를 활용한 사후평가 도입을 제안하였다.

With the increasing obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the building sector, the government has been gradually expanding its obligation to zero-energy buildings since 2020. Since the ZEB certification took effect in 2017, 48 preliminary and main certifications have been completed as of March 2019, and most of them are public buildings or even certified, but have earned Grade 5 of ZEB. This means that compared with the number of annual building permits registered in Korea, the figure is insignificant, and that it receives little if not mandatory. Therefore, this study investigated empirical cases of ZEB additional construction cost and conducted cost benefit analysis according to changes in ZEB additional construction cost based on a preliminary feasibility analysis project recently conducted by the KDI. In addition, considering the public buildings, the social costs were considered, and the cost-benefit analysis method was the same as the KDI's preliminary feasibility analysis method. The analysis shows that if the ratio of ZEB additional construction cost is more than 5 percent, it is analyzed that there is no economic feasibility, and considering that the ratio of additional construction cost in the cases of ZEB in Korea is 17 percent to 38 percent, it will not be easy to obtain ZEB certification in terms of cost. Finally, to narrow these differences in cost and economic aspects, the overseas low energy and ZEB incentive examples proposed measures such as the concept of subsidy payment in Illinois and the compensation of social costs to private ZEB.

Transportation plays a vital role in sustainable development, and moreover, bulk transportation provides cost effective movement of goods and human beings with less environmental issues. Nepal is a developing country with increasing urbanization and transportation demands. The growing interest of China to connect with Southeast Asia through Nepal has led to ambitious project proposal of Rasuwa Gadhi to Birgunj Railways, which is the shortest route from China to India. Lack of updated geospatial data has lead the concerned authorities in Nepal to be dependent on analysis and proposals from donor nations. Taking such considerations, based on GIS and free data, this study explores optimal routes to connect cites using slope and land cover. Based on reclassified slope, two shortest optimal routes were found. One passing through Baireni in Dhading and another through Kathmandu towards Birgunj with length of around 172 Kilometers. The study shows that available open source data can be used of preliminary feasibility studies and yet shows limitations for detailed economy based planning. Development and use of high resolution updated geospatial data is of high necessity for Nepal to become self-sustained in planning of development works.

Objectives : The purposes of this preliminary study was to examine the feasibility of recruiting women into a clinical trial designed to examine the effects of acupuncture in treating urinary incontinence (UI) in premenopausal women with delivery history and the feasibility of performing the study procedures. We also tried to determine if there was preliminary evidence to suggest that acupuncture may be effective in reducing UI and improving disease-specific quality of life. Methods : This study was a pragmatic randomized clinical trial. Subjects between the ages of 20 and 49 years were randomly assigned to a treatment(n=11) or control group(n=11) and analyzed. Both groups were supposed to do Kegel exercise at home during 4 weeks and acupuncture was applied to the treatment group twice a week(8 sessions) additionally. Subjects performed 1 hour pad test and completed a 3-day urination diary, international consultation on incontinence modular questionnaire(ICIQ), and incontinence - quality of life(I-QOL) at base line and 5 weeks. Results : Both group showed improvement in 1 hour pad test and the reducing amount of UI was significantly larger in treatment group(p=0.0182). The significant improvements in ICIQ and I-QOL were also observed in treatment group and sustained until the follow-up measurement at 16 weeks. Any adverse reaction related to acupuncture did not happen. Conclusions : It was feasible to recruit subjects and perform the study procedures. The positive results of this study support the requirement for additional research investigating the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of UI in women.

코로나19 이후 공공의료시설, 특히 감염병전문병원의 중요성이 높아졌다. 그러나 메르스 사태 이후 정부의 강력한 정책의지에도 불구하고 공공의료시설과 감염병전문병원의 공급은 충분히 이뤄지지 않았다. 여러 가지 이유가 있겠지만 가장 큰 문제로 대두된 것이 바로 사회·경제적 변화와 시대의 흐름을 충분히 반영하지 못한 예비타당성조사이다. 본 연구의 목적은 공공의료시설과 관련된 현행 예비타당성조사제도의 문제점을 도출하고 그 대안을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구는 그 대안으로 '선택가치'를 제안한다. 선택가치는 불확실한 상황에 대한 지불의 사이므로 감염병에 대비한 공공의료시설의 편익항목으로 반영하는 것이 학술적으로 가능하다. 선택가치는 비시장 재화이므로 조건부가치추정법과 선택모형을 통해 추정가능하다. 본 연구에서는 두 가지 방법론의 장단점과 활용대안을 제시하였다. 일상에서는 그 존재가치가 보이지 않지만 위기 상황에서 나타나는 것이 바로 의료와 보건시스템이다. 따라서 의료·보건분야의 예비타당성평가에서도 보이지 않는 편익을 찾고, 후생변화를 반영할 수 있는 방법론 개발이 지속적으로 이뤄져야 할 것이다. 본 연구가 그 촉매제가 될 것으로 기대한다.
