Because of insufficiency of energy resources and pollution of environment, it is necessary to develop alternative energy sources. Nuclear fission energy is used widely for source of electric Power but being restricted due to radioactivity problem. Nuclear fission is highlighted as the new generation of nuclear energy and researched worldwide because of low risk of radiation effect. The representatives of fusion research is China's EAST, KSTAR of Korea and ITER of world. Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research(KSTAR) project is on progress for the completion in August, 2007. In this study, the research of utility system for KSTAR be carried out. The utility system of KSTAR is consist of water cooling & heating system, $N_2$ gas system, DI water system, service water system and instrument air & auto control system. The progress of KSTAR utility system is under commissioning state after construction completion. The optimal operation scenario will be verified during commissioning and adopted to the KSTAR operation.

This study aimed to identify a difference in project implementation between villages that had executed rural village community activation support work successfully and those that had quit in the middle from the new endogenous development theory perspective. As a result, it was found that the main factors used for promoting to increase endogeneous development capabilities existed more in villages that executed project implementation support work successfully than in villages that had quit in the middle. Successful villages have a difference from the villages that had quit in the middle in that they have established a participatory decision making and cooperation system for stable operation even before their support work began, they have more assets for promoting community activity, residents' interaction and communal activity are becoming more active, and reciprocity-based mutual aid culture exists in many forms. In conclusion, seeing from the new endogenous development theory perspective, villages are developed under the interaction between internal and external factors, but the outcome of project implementation depends on whether village community holds its endogenous development capability to operate and develop such whole process of development. Therefore, village community activation policies need to be reinforced in the direction toward promoting to create the main factors for enhancing endogenous development capabilities.

The concepts of 'sustainable development', 'sustainable construction' and 'green building' have been elevated to priority levels in all types and phases of construction project development worldwide. Consultants and contractors are now required to seriously consider the impact of their operations on the natural environment and the society, and consequently adopt sustainable construction practices in the development process to minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of their activities. However, existing sustainability rating tools apply to the design, post-construction and operation phases of a building; no tool exists for the rating of the performance of the contractor or the project team at the construction phase. This study aimed to develop a model for evaluating the sustainability of construction operations, drawing on the global best practice standards on sustainability. Practical applications of the model were carried out through case studies to evaluate the performances of fifteen construction firms in New Zealand. The developed model and the outcomes of the case studies were presented, including potential areas of weaknesses, strengths, constraints to achievement or adoption of sustainable construction practices and areas for improvement in the operations of the firms. The successful application of the developed model in practice shows its usefulness and ease of application. It is therefore recommended for adoption as a simple but effective system for measuring and reporting on sustainability performance or sustainability of construction operations of firms in New Zealand and elsewhere.

This paper is based on the interim result of ongoing research and development project to develop a software system which support procurement activities, namely PeMSS (Procurement Engineering Management Support System). PeMSS is a system that enables development requirements for each equipment and help designing equipment meeting the purchase requirements. Procurement at EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction) and operational stage of a plant is an important area that determines the integrity and profitability of the plant. Procurement of unsuitable equipment due to selection of suppliers that do not meet or omit critical requirements in purchase specification can result in enormous cost increase due to such as delay in EPC project, unsatisfactory performance and reduced plant operation time. In spite of the importance of the procurement engineering, there is a lack of support system for systematic preparation of purchase specification, so development of the procurement specification is basically relying on the experience of the engineers in charge. Accordingly, it is needed to develop the PeMSS to help procurement engineers develop procurement specification based on systems engineering approach. This paper introduces the design of the PeMSS.

In the current train operation system, large scaled stations like Cheongnyangni and Yongsan are not remote controlled from the central operator but manually by local operator. It is because there are so many entering and exit of trains between depot and mainline which are operating through the large scaled stations and it is very effective to traffic flow on the mainline. Therefore, Kyong Bong Technology Co., Ltd. (KBTech) and Korea Railway Research Institute (KRRI) are continuing the research and development to import 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)'as part of a new train operation control system which is a national policy project of MOCT (Ministry Of Construction & Transportation). The concept of the 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)' has born in 1970's in Japan by the influences of molecular biology. The special features of ADS are being a system that able to do the online expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance. This thesis introduces the concept of technology of ADS and also describes the system designing & development to apply with large scaled stations.

The construction data should be controlled from the life-cycle perspective. The current PMIS (Project Management Information System) usually focuses on the construction operation stage. The PMIS does consider the utilization of the construction in the maintenance of constructed facilities. This paper tries to interface the construction data with the maintenance data for effective use of construction data in the life-cycle perspective. To achieve the research objective, a maintenance breakdown structure is established and connected to the work breakdown structures. The connection of the two breakdown structures provide a structured utilization of construction data for efficient maintenance work activities. A prototype suggests that the interface of maintenance and work breakdown structures can help provide a construction and maintenance data in a more efficient way for maintenance activities.

A mobile crane has been more frequently used to deal with the increased capital-intensive projects in line with the economic growth, but the operation is still heavily dependent on personal experience in the past, resulting in severe overturn accidents that cause the loss of lives and damage to the properties. A crane shall be installed in a systematic manner that proved to be safe in engineering aspect, and should the installation and operation be blindly dependent on experience alone, it would apparently cause a great risk. Particularly the mobile crane, among others, frequently causes a severe overturn accident due to poor ground-fixing device. The study therefore focused on fixing system of mobile crane and the outcome is highly expected to make a great commitment to selecting the optimal type of crane for the project as well as to securing the safety during construction.

We give a detailed description of the installation and operation of a double-station meteor detection system which formed part of a research & education project between Korea Astronomy Space Science Institute (KASI) and Daejeon Science Highschool. A similar system is currently not existing in South Korea. A total of six light-sensitive CCD cameras were installed with three cameras at SOAO and three cameras at BOAO observatory. A double-station observation of a meteor event enables the determination of the three-dimensional heliocentric orbit in space. This project was initiated in response to the Jinju fireball event in March 2014. The cameras were installed in October/November 2014. The two stations are identical in hardware as well as software. Each station employes sensitive "Watec-902H2" cameras in combination with relatively fast f/1.2 lenses. Various fields of views were used for measuring differences in detection rates of meteor events. We employed the SonotaCo UFO software suite for meteor detection and their subsequent analysis. The system setup as well as installation/operation experience is described and first results are presented. We also give a brief overview of historic as well as recent meteor (fall) detections in South Korea. For more information please consult http://meteor.kasi.re.kr.
