To prevent illegal building work in advance, regional building safety centers were introduced to perform technical investigations and management. The purpose of this study is to propose the detailed operational directions of the regional building safety center through the analysis on the current status of parameters, such as the operation of designated confirmation and inspection bodies in Japan. We consider the role, building administrative process and establishment criteria of regional building safety centers through the analysis the introduction background and the designation criteria of designated confirmation and inspection bodies. In establishing the center's professional manpower qualifications, we refer to the criteria for the professional qualifications of the designated confirmation and inspection bodies. In addition, the calculation method of required manpower of verification inspectors in Japan was used as a reference in setting the scale of regional professional manpower. Finally, we propose the detailed operational directions of the regional building safety center such as (1)roles of the center, (2)establishing management plan of the center, (3)work scope (4)scale of the professional manpower, (5)qualification of the professional manpower, and (6)funds.

In Korea, local government officials are in charge of buildings, and as such are supposed to review submitted documents related to the architectural administration to ensure that they comply with the legal standards. However, these officials generally put a greater emphasis on the preparation of the set of documents required for the administrative work than the content the documents contain. For this reason, many experts point out that the shortage of officials specialized in buildings and construction, as well as the lack of expertise among the building officials in the local governments, may result in repeated safety accidents during building construction. The purpose of this study is to propose the operational direction of a Regional Building Safety (RBS) center to secure the performance and safety of buildings by utilizing private resources. In this study, we carried out a pilot project to verify the effects of an RBS center and to derive the specific number of experts required. As a result, the technical matters were resolved in approximately 15% of the total cases of the document processing procedure, and the level of technical specialization among the officers has also been improved through the provision of guidance. The research findings support the validity and effects of the introduction of the RBS center. Finally, this study proposes (1) the types of RBS Centers that should be established, (2) the roles and business scope of the RBS Center, (3) the specific number of experts required, (4) the qualifications of the experts, and (5) the business regulations of the RBS Center.

Purpose: Grafting new hanok-style application technology on child daycare facility among public buildings can be an alternative that provides infant facility, which is placed at the center of social attention and interest, with pleasant nursing environment. Besides, it is expected to have a great impact on infants' and young children's emotion by helping them recognize traditional culture at early stage and furthermore can be used for villagers to experience differentiated traditional culture. Method: To investigate the recent construction of HeungCheon/SuRak/GeumGwa's Hanok child daycare facility recognizing for architectural planning characteristics in common tendency Hanok that presents a physical improvement plan for preparing the continued competitiveness. Also attention to the creative expression of the traditional spaces about the natural environment are implemented in Nurseries and we propose the possibilities that can be realized in the future Hanok child daycare facility. Result: The combination of modern materials and modern construction technology of New-hanok method with improved ability has improved the shortcomings of traditional architecture and increase the ease and safety of traditional architecture succeed the suggest direction of improvement modern society. Therefore, Hanok child daycare facility is preparing adequate capability to solve regional polarization and social care issues.

Based on the current state of safety management for small-scaled old buildings, this study identified problems and proposed improvement plans. The study investigated the current status of safety management based on relevant laws and government and financial portal data, as well as budget documents related to the targets of safety management, the organization responsible for safety management, and the budget required for organizational operation. As a result, the study revealed the problem of safety management blind spots for buildings that are not included in the legal safety inspection targets. It also identified difficulties in securing specialized personnel for the operation of local building safety centers and financial constraints for the operation of building safety special accounting. To address these issues, the study proposed measures such as expanding the scope of safety inspection targets for small-scaled old buildings to reduce safety management blind spots, improving compensation regulations for specialized personnel, setting a minimum ratio for enforcement fines to secure financial resources, and gradually adjusting building permit fees. The study aimed to contribute to improving the efficiency of safety management for small-scaled old buildings based on these proposed measures.
