The purpose of this study was to clarify spatial composition of the staffs at nursing homes for the elderly with dementia. For this, the data was taken from the staffs in 2 nursing homes in Tokyo by the questionnaire from December4 to 28 in 2004. Replicated MDS (Multi-dimensional Scaling) was employed for data analysis. The results of the study were following. Staffs perceived nursing home by four spatial compositions; facility spaces as like sanitation room, laundry, bathroom, washroom, washbowl, social interaction spaces as like training room, inner court/balcony, living room, staff related spaces as like room for staff, treatment room, fundamental living spaces as like bedroom, dining room. According to two-dimensional perceptual map, sanitation room was wanted near by laundry, treatment room was wanted near by room for staff, bedroom was wanted near by dining room, and training room, living room were wanted near by inner court/balcony. On the other hand, washbowl and washroom were desired somewhere near by every spaces. Therefore, simple shaped washbowls are desired to install in dining room, living room, hallways. And sanitation room and laundry were desired somewhere remote by dining room, bedroom, and living room. Responding upper results, it is recommended planning for visual and sense of smell isolation in case of having difficulty in floor structure and circulation.

Wireless network information services allow end systems to discover heterogeneous networks and spectrum available for secondary use at or near their current location, helping them to cope with increasing traffic and finite spectrum resources. We propose a unified architecture that allows end systems to find nearby base stations that are using either licensed, shared or unlicensed spectrum across multiple network operators. Our study evaluates the performance and scalability of spatial databases storing base station coverage area geometries. The measurement results indicate that the current spatial databases perform well even when the number of coverage areas is very large. A single logical spatial database would likely be able to satisfy the query load for a large national cellular network. We also observe that coarse geographic divisions can significantly improve query performance.

Rapid economic development in Korea caused functions of city functions such as concentration of population, deterioration of the quality of living environment and traffic congestion. Korean cities have lost their identity becausr they are merged functionally and physically with neighboring cities, forming one mesa-city. Unified shape and disorganized streets of cities often cause confusion among foreigners and visitors. It is very difficult for them to find their image in strange cities. It is, however, important to correctly analyze the image and meaning of cities for understanding its identity. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to analyze the city image by focusing on some of the main cities in Korea. For this purpose, the adjective questionnaire and multi-dimension scaling (MDS) are applied to the analysis of city image. Image analysis graph by MDS can visually present the general and integrate images. The results of this study are summarized as follows: The important factors for interpretation of city image are historical and industrial character. Seoul, Taegu and Pusan have industrial and complex city images. Kongju has historical city image, while Changwon has a modern image. Chuncheon belongs to a soft and small image. Each city has an alternative solution against a negative image, according to the image analysis graph.

IDF 곡선은 수리구조물의 설계에 이용되며 본 연구에서는 기후변화를 고려한 GCM의 시간적 공간적 축소화기법을 통하여 미래의 IDF 곡선을 생성하였다. GCM자료로는 HadCM3과 CGCM3의 지역주의와 경제발전을 지향하는 A2시나리오를 이용하였다. GCM자료에 대한 공간적인 축소화기법으로 다중회귀 모형인 SDSM(Statistical DownScaling Model)을 이용하여 2030년, 2050년, 2080년의 미래의 일강우 자료를 생성하였다. 이를 다시 시간적 축소화기법인 GEV분포를 이용한 Scaling-Invariance기법을 적용하여 시단위의 강우자료를 생성하였다. 이를 통해 최종적으로 HadCM3과 CGCM3에 대한 각각 미래의 IDF곡선을 생성하였다. CGCM3의 경우 지속적인 강우강도의 증가를 보였지만 HadCM3의 경우 2050년대 감소하다 2080년대 다시 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 또한 CGCM3의 경우 HadCM3의 경우보다 좀 더 높은 강우 강도를 보였다. 본 연구의 대상지역은 서울지역이며 생성된 자료의 신뢰성을 확보하기위하여 서울기상관측소의 1961년부터~2000년까지의 일단위 강우자료를 이용하여 검 보정을 수행하였다.

The determination of soil characteristics is important in the simulation of rainfall runoff using a distributed FLO-2D model in catchment analysis. Digital maps acquired using remote sensing techniques have been widely used in modern hydrology. However, the determination of a representative parameter with spatial scaling mismatch is difficult. In this investigation, the FLO-2D rainfall-runoff model is utilized in the Yongdam catchment to test sensitivity based on three different methods (mosaic, arithmetic, and predominant) that describe soil surface characteristics in real systems. The results show that the mosaic method is costly, but provides a reasonably realistic description and exhibits superior performance compared to other methods in terms of both the amount and time to peak flow.

This paper is concerned with the current status and the prospectus of environmental investments in the manufacturing sector. A questionnaire survey was made to identify the concentrated fields of the investments. The collected data were analyzed by a multidimensional scaling method in order to provide a reasonable interpretation on the major factors which characterize the current situation and the prospectus of the investments as well as the relative position of each respondent company in a spatial map. The result tells us most respondents tend to concentrate their attention on end-of-pipe solutions due to technological tangibility and economic efficiency, etc.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the spatial structure among residential behaviors in relation to work space. To find the structure, Multi-Dimensional Scaling analysis was used. Respondents were 349 middle income housewives living in apartments in the area of Caopital region. Data were collected through the questinnaire survey. For the future residential interior design, following points were sugtested. A laundary space neess to be developed independently , being separated from both bathroom and kitchen/dining space. A new area which will give housewives some territoriality and also function as home office needs to be considered. A space configuration which satisfies the organic relationships among laundary behaviors such as washing dying, ironing and folding , needs to be systematically planned, with two adjoining separate zones of wet and dry utility . The present bathroom nees to be more incorporated to the private bedroom rather than to workspace.

THe purpose of this study is to suggest the major determinants of visual preference in the outdoor spaces of urban office buildings. For this, the spatial image was analyzed by the factor analysis algorithm. The level of visual preferences was measured by a slide simulation test, and these data were analyzed by the multiple regressioni. The result of this study can be summarized as follows; Factors covering the spatial image were found to be 'mystery','changeability','coherence' and 'legibility'. T.V. was obtained as 58.4%. Outdoor spaces of urban office buildings were classified into four groups by the multi dimensional scaling method. As for the analysis of imageability in each spatial type, the factor scores of measuring high values were different for all types. Type II, IV obtained higher rank of visual preference and type III, I obtained lower. For all types, the factors of visual preference were found to be 'mystery','changeability','coherence' and 'legibility'. The visual preference determinants of urban setting focused on outdoor spaces of urban office buildings may be the major factors which must be considered in planning and designing as the functional basis for the quantitative analysis.

In this study, the algorithms for multichannel format conversion and robust representation of spatial sound information are proposed. In the spatial analysis, the directional information of sound source is estimated and sound sources are separated from stereo signal. In the spatial resynthesis, the multichannel matrixing with spatial repanning and post-scaling method are applied to represent a spatial sound. The conventional method about channel format conversion has the problem that the energy of sound source and the spatial information are not preserved in the desired channel format. Because the proposed method is designed in consideration of the target multichannel format and its resynthesized signal, the robust representation of spatial sound can be achieved in the multichannel format conversion.

We propose a new watermarking scheme that can be used to embed multiple bits and also resilient to JPEG compression and geometrical transforms such as scaling, rotation, and cropping, based on off-axis holographic watermark that allows multiple watermark recovery without original content(cover image). The holographic watermark is that Fourier transformed digital hologram is embedded into cover image in the spatial domain. The proposed method has not only increased robustness with a stronger embedding but also imperceptibility of the watermark in the evaluation process.
