Architectural market in the world is trying to develop Zero Carbon Buildng that doesn"t use fossil fuel. Residential building that thermal load such as heating and domestic hot water is over 70% in energy consumption is easy to make Zero Carbon Building compared with office building that is mainly electric load. So, As a preliminary for analyzing the effect of Solar thermal system in the building, an annual energy consumption of residential building and total heat loads are calculated. Based on this result, three alternatives of solar thermal system for hot water and heating are applied in the building while installation area is increasing. Solar thermal system is applied on balcony and roof of apartment building as the way to reduce thermal load. In the first case that solar thermal system for hot water is applied on the balcony, optimum installation area is $56m^2$. And you could install $40m^2$ of this system in the roof that angle is $30^{\circ}$. In the second case of solar thermal system for heating and hot water, you can install $40m^2$ on the roof. As a result of economic evaluation, the most economical application method is to install $40m^2$ of solar thermal system for only hot water on the roof of the building. At that time, you can payback the initial investing cost within 10 years. And carbon emission of this method can be reduced until about 4 ton per year.

Background/Aims: The Republic of Korea is a country where the hemodialysis population is growing rapidly. It is believed that the numbers of treatments related to vascular access-related complications are also increasing. This study investigated the current status of treatment and medical expenses for vascular access in Korean patients on hemodialysis. Methods: This was a descriptive observational study. We inspected the insurance claims of patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent hemodialysis between January 2008 and December 2016. We calculated descriptive statistics of the frequencies and medical expenses of procedures for vascular access. Results: The national medical expenses for access-related treatment were 7.12 billion KRW (equivalent to 6.36 million USD) in 2008, and these expenses increased to 42.12 billion KRW (equivalent to 37.67 million USD) in 2016. The population of hemodialysis patients, the annual frequency of access-related procedures, and the total medical cost for access-related procedures increased by 1.6-, 2.6-, and 5.9-fold, respectively, over the past 9 years. The frequency and costs of access care increased as the number of patients on hemodialysis increased. The increase in vascular access-related costs has largely been driven by increased numbers of percutaneous angioplasty. Conclusions: The increasing proportion of medical costs for percutaneous angioplasty represents a challenge in the management of end-stage renal disease in Korea. It is essential to identify the clinical and physiological aspects as well as anatomical abnormalities before planning angioplasty. A timely surgical correction could be a viable option to control the rapid growth of access-related medical expenses.

In recent, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) faced difficulties of the DCC (distribution control center) due to the increase of field equipment and operational cost, and aging of operating staffs. In response to these changes in the DCC, KEPCO is trying to change the organization and system of the DCC. In this paper, we present a new attempt to change organization and structure of distribution control center, which was implemented by KEPCO recently. This paper is divided into three major parts. First, to examine the adequacy of the divided basis of current DCCs based on the quantity of installed electrical equipment, we analyzed the correlation between the operational history of the DCCs and the number of equipment. Through the analysis, we confirmed that there is little relationship between the number of equipment and actual workload. Second, we conducted visits and questionnaire surveys of all the DCCs to identify factors affecting the actual workload of distribution operators and then summarized the results. Third, based on this survey, a general formula for analyzing the workload of a DCC was derived, and each DCC's average annual total workload, day/night workload, and required number of personnel were calculated. Through this study, we proposed a more realistic management method of DCCs that can overcome the division criteria based on equipment quantity.

In this study, we analyzed the use of general radiography imaging and effective dose in inpatients. Our aim is to help reduce national medical radiation exposure doses and develop rational health-care financial policies. The effective dose for each general radiography was calculated using the ALARA-GR program for 53 types (total: 260 codes) general radiography codes selected from 'National Health Insurance Care Benefit Cost'. The usage of general radiography was analyzed in the 2018 inpatient patient data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, and the effective dose for each general radiography was analyzed. 89.00% of inpatients undergo general radiography imaging at least once, with an average of 12.63 scans per person and an effective dose of 1.00 mSv. Those who received support from Medical Aid showed a higher value compared to those who were insured by National Health Insurance, with 17.39 cases and 1.43 mSv (p<.001). Chest had the highest usage rate at 23.12% for general radiography imaging, while L-spine had the highest effective dose at 24.53%. It is estimated that 420 inpatients patients undergo 121 to 820 general radiography imaging procedures per year, and 233 inpatients are estimated to have an annual effective dose of >20.00~58.25 mSv. Rational use of health-care finances and the practice of medical radiation safety management are essential for the well-being of individuals, the enhancement of quality of life, and the improvement of health-care quality.

This study of the subject will review past and present irrigation development in Korea. Particular attention will be given to water pricing structure and a case study on the purpose of rational operation and management of irrigation water and organizations, and the optimum irrigation water and organizations, and the optimum irrigation water fee inorder to reduce farmers burden and to rationalize the farmland associations management so as to achieve development of the rural environment. In 1971, the reservoir of the Farmland Improvement A sociation (FIA) produced only 775 millison $m^3$ of irrigation water or 77% of planned capacity of 1,015 million $m^3$. It was caused by inefficient maintenance of irrigation facilities; for instance, about 21% of reservoirs, pumping stations and weirs in Korea have been silted by soil erosion which hinder to water production according to an ADC survey. The first Irritation Association was established in 1906, whcih was renamed the Farmland Assoeiation by the Rural Development Enouragement Law in 1970. By the end of 1971, 411,000 ha of rice paddies were under the control of 267 associations nationwide. The average water price assessed by Associations nationwide rose from 790 won per 0.1 ha. in 1966 to 1,886 won in 1971. The annual growth rate was 20%. The highest water price in 1971 was 4,773 won her 0.1 ha. and the lowest was 437 won. This range was caused by differences in debt burden, geographic conditions and management efficiency among the Associations. In 1971, the number of Associations which exceeded the average water price of 1,886 won per 0.1 ha. was 144, or 55.1% of all Association. In determination of water price, there are two principles; one is determined by production cost such as installation cost of irrigation facilities, maintenance cost, management cost and depreciation ect. For instance, the Yong San River Development project was required 33.7 billion won for total construction and maintenance cost is 3.1 billion won for repayment, maintenance and management cost per year. The project produces 590 million $m^3$ of irrigation water annually. Accordingly, the water price per $m^3$ is 5.25 won. The other principle is determined by water value in the crop products and in compared with production of irrigated paddy and non-irrigated paddy. By using this method, water value in compared with paddy rice vs. upland rice(Average of 1967-1971) was 14.15 won per $m^3$ and irrigated paddy vs. non-irrigated paddy was 2.98 won per $m^3$. In contrast the irrigation fee in average association of 1967-1971 was 1.54 won per $m^3$. Accordingly, the current national average irrigation fee(water price) is resonable compared with its water value. In this study, it is found that the ceiling of water price in terms of water value is 2.98 won per $m^3$ or 2,530 won per 0.1 ha. However, in 1971 55% of the associations were above the average of nationwide irrigation fees. which shows the need for rationalization of the Association's management. In connection with rationalization of the Association's management, this study recommends the following matters. (1) Irrigation fee must be assessed according to the amount of water consumption taking intoaccount the farmer's ability. (2) Irrigation fee should be graded according to behefits and crop patterns. (3) Training personnel in the operation and procedures of water management to save O&M costs. (4) Insolvent farmland association should be integrated into larger, sound associations in the same GUN in order to reduce farmers' water cost. (5) The maintenance and repair of existing irrigation facilities is as important as expansion of facilities. (6) Establishment of a new Union of Farmland Association is required to promoted proper maintenance and to protect the huge investment in irrigation facilities by means of technical supervision and guidance.

지난 10년간 한국골프산업은 매년 20~30개의 골프장을 새롭게 개장하였다. 한국골프장경영협회의 자료에 따르면 2009년 현재 한국에는 18홀을 하나의 골프장으로 계산했을 경우 약 320여 개의 골프장이 있다고 한다. 전 세계 골프장 약 34,000여 개 중 절반 이상인 18,000개가 미국에 있고, 영국, 일본, 호주, 남아프리카공화국 등 골프가 대중화 되어 있는 나라에 나머지 대부분이 있어 한국도 어느새 골프 선진국 반열에 올라 있다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 이에 반해 한국의 골프장공사는 골프선진국과 비교하여 많이 뒤쳐져 있다. 양적인 급성장에 질적인 성장이 따라 가지 못한 이유라고 할 수 있다. 골프장 공사 중, 서구 골프 선진국에는 일반화 되어 있으나 한국에는 알려지지 않은 공법을 많이 찾을 수 있는데, 그 중 하나가 콘크리트 카트도로이다. 골프 선진국의 대표인 국가인 미국에서는 약 80% 이상의 골프장의 카트도로가 콘크리트인 반면에 한국은 일반적으로 아스팔트를 사용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 일반화 되어 있는 아스팔트 카트도로와 콘크리트 카트도로의 장단점, 특히 공사적인 측면, 운영적인 측면, 유지관리적인 측면 등으로 구분해 연구하여 콘크리트의 저렴한 유지관리비, 긴 상품의 수명, 조형의 아름다움과 같은 장점을 강조하였다. 이에 반해 콘크리트의 단점인 시공에 필요한 제한된 환경, 겨울철 시공의 문제점도 발견할 수 있었다. 카트도로 재료의 장단점에 대한 본 연구는 카트도로 재료 선택을 위한 올바른 가이드라인이 될 것을 기대해 본다.

이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(CCS) 기반시설은 온실가스 배출량의 획기적인 감축과 관련하여 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. CCS 기반시설에 있어서의 구체적인 과제는 넓은 지역에 다양하게 분포되어 있는 대규모 방출원으로부터 $CO_2$를 포집한 뒤 수송하여 적절한 저장사이트에 주입하는 일련의 과정을 상업적 규모로 실증하는 것이다. CCS 기반시설의 상업적 도입을 위해 기술 경제적 타당성을 분석하는 많은 연구들이 수행되어 왔다. 하지만, 하나의 일관된 분석을 하기 위해 $CO_2$ 배출량, $CO_2$ 감축 비용, 탄소세 등과 같은 다양한 데이터의 불확실성들이 존재한다. CCS 기반시설을 설계 및 운영하는데 있어 이러한 데이터의 불확실성들을 고려한 연구들은 거의 진행되어 오지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 CCS 기반시설을 설계 및 운영하는 데 있어 불확실한 데이터인 CCS 운영비용과 탄소세를 고려한 2 단계 확률론적 계획 모델을 개발 하였다. 제시된 모델은 데이터의 불확실한 환경에도 불구하고 $CO_2$ 감축목표를 만족시키기 위해 $CO_2$ 포집, 저장, 수송 등 CCS 기반시설의 최적 설계 및 운영 전략을 결정할 수 있게 하고, 요구되는 연간 $CO_2$ 총 비용을 예측 가능하게 한다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제안한 모델의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 우리나라의 실제 사례에 적용해 보았다. 이 사례 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 다양한 불확실한 요소들이 존재하는 환경하에 CCS 기반시설을 설계 및 운영하는 데 있어 최적의 결정을 제시할 것이다.
