Sudden pressure changes caused by the high-speed train entering the entrance of the tunnel are propagated into the tunnel and spread out around the tunnel in the form of a micro pressure wave at the exit of the tunnel. This phenomenon can cause noise and vibration around the tunnel, causing damage to the surroundings. Analysis of this phenomenon is very difficult, but the development of analytical technology has revealed more phenomena than in the past. In this study, we propose this method of analysis and compare it with the experimental data to show the data with higher reliability.

In Korea, approximately 48% of all households live in apartments, which are a form of multi-unit dwellings, and this figure increases up to 58%, when row houses and multiplex houses are included. As such, majority of the population reside in multi-unit dwellings where they are exposed to the problem of floor impact noise that can cause disputes and conflicts. Accordingly, this study was conducted to manufacture a high-weight, high-stiffness foamed concrete in order to develop a technology to reduce the floor impact noise. For the purpose of deriving the optimum mixing ratio for the foamed concrete that best reduces the floor impact noise, the amounts of the foaming agent, lightweight aggregate and binder were varied accordingly. Also, the target characteristics of the concrete to be developed included density of over $0.7t/m^3$, compressive strength of over $2.0N/mm^2$ and thermal conductivity of under 0.19 W/mK. The results of the experiment showed that the fluidity was very excellent at over 190 mm, regardless of the type and input amount of foaming agent and lightweight aggregate. The density and compressive strength measurements showed that the target density and compressive strength were satisfied in the specimen with 50% foam mixing ratio for foamed concrete and in all of the mixtures for the lightweight aggregate foamed concrete. In addition, the thermal conductivity measurements showed that the target thermal conductivity was satisfied in all of the foamed concrete specimens, except for VS50, in the 25% replacement ratio case for Type A aggregate, and all of the mixtures for Type B aggregate.

We performed a magnetotelluric (MT) survey to delineate the geological structures below the depth of 20 km in the Gyeongju area where an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred in September 2016. The measured MT data were severely distorted by electrical noise caused by subways, power lines, factories, houses, and farmlands, and by vehicle noise from passing trains and large trucks. Using machine-learning methods, we classified the MT time series data obtained near the railway and highway into two groups according to the inclusion of traffic noise. We applied three schemes, stochastic gradient descent, support vector machine, and random forest, to the time series data for the highspeed train noise. We formulated three datasets, Hx, Hy, and Hx & Hy, for the time series data of the large truck noise and applied the random forest method to each dataset. To evaluate the effect of removing the traffic noise, we compared the time series data, amplitude spectra, and apparent resistivity curves before and after removing the traffic noise from the time series data. We also examined the frequency range affected by traffic noise and whether artifact noise occurred during the traffic noise removal process as a result of the residual difference.

This paper deals with Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) of 2.28 Memorial Park in Daegu. The park is located in center of the city. The results and discussions could be used as basic data for urban park planning and design, in CBD. A questionnaire was conducted for 15 days from May 11, to May 26, 2016, and a sample group consisting of 230 on site users. The behavior, satisfaction, and preference of space image, were surveyed. The behavior analysis, satisfaction, and image evaluation questionnaire were derived using previous studies, and reliability, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted using SPSS. As a result, the items were very reliable, causal factors were extracted, and the variables that affect satisfaction and image preference were able to be identified. In the 2.28 Memorial Park, user satisfaction and image evaluation value were very high in most items. As a result of the assessment, the green-water landscape factors and cleanness factors, which have the greatest influence on satisfaction and preference, should be continuously maintained. Due to the characteristics of the city center parks, the users of the parks also felt environmental problems in the urban areas, so the users assessed noise levels, plant species, and air quality at a low level. Therefore, to solve this, plans such as noise abatement and extension of green space should be ongoing.

In this paper, a low phase noise oscillator is designed using an interdigital hairpin resonator for UTIS (Urban Traffic Information Systems). The interdigital hairpin resonator has several characteristics compared with a conventional hairpin resonator, which are 70% size reduction and improvement of harmonic characteristics. In addition, Q (Quality factor) of the interdigital hairpin resonator is about 132, which is suitable for the design of a low phase noise oscillator. The oscillator suggested in this paper shows the output power of 12 dBm and the phase noise characteristic of -100.8 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency from the center frequency of 5.75 GHz. The phase noise is improved by about 12 dB compared with a conventional oscillator using an interdigital hairpin resonator.

Nowadays, urban townhouses are being developed in various forms according to the characteristics of different regions in consideration of the trends of the housing market. Misperceiving the needs of consumers or their characteristics as a house for living, however, they often end up becoming products that are not suitable for urban life or degraded on account of reckless regional development. It is so unfortunate that such trial and error keeps being repeated. Urban townhouses are advantageous because there is no such problem as either invasion of privacy or noise from neighbors, and it is possible to have one's own garden and enlarged parking space, obtain quality of grounding, and plan unique interior and exterior design. They are also equipped with the strengths of apartment houses as well, for example, the efficiency of joint control in crime and disaster prevention or security, architecture of diaphragm walls with the separation of gates, or the planning of common space like a central square or park. Therefore, there is a great chance that they can be developed as the types of urban housing. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to establish the basic direction of developing housing products right as space for urban life and maximize the roles of urban townhouses. By understanding their spatial as well as functional elements as a house for living, this author aims to provide a guideline for housing product development to realize urban townhouses that can meet consumer needs.

The bioacoustics generated in urban parks contribute to the overall sound diversity of a city, creating a harmonious acoustic environment and maintaining the balance of the soundscape. However, due to the rapid urbanization process, the acoustic environment in urban parks is continuously deteriorating due to increased noise. In this study, we present an approach to monitoring the acoustic environment of urban parks by analyzing the soundscape of Namsan Urban Natural Park in Seoul. Acoustic data were collected continuously for one month from August 2021 in four facility districts of the study site using autonomous recording units, and a total of 2,784 hours of sound material were obtained. We also compared soundscape characteristics over time in each district using acoustic indices (ACI, ADI, BI, NDSI) representing soundscape complexity, acoustic diversity, degree of bioacoustics, and anthropogenic disturbance. The results showed that acoustic indices related to bioacoustics varied between districts, but most indices showed similar variation patterns due to the influence of anthropogenic sounds. In particular, regional differences closed during periods of high bird activity but not during periods of high human activity. We suggest that considering both acoustic characteristics and multiple acoustic indices is necessary for managing the soundscape of urban parks. The results of this study are expected to provide essential data for assessing the health of urban ecosystems based on soundscapes and to be used for monitoring the acoustic environment of urban parks.

The vibration level (dB(V)) and vibration velocity (cm/sec) on the ground and buildings due to the differences of the measuring sites from the blasting source was investigated. To compare with vibration level and vibration velocity theirs magnitude was not surely directly proportional and vibration velocity 0.1 cm/sec was $45\~50$ dB(V). The difference between the measured vibration level and the calculated vibration level by Ejima's equation using vibration velocity PVS(peak vector sum) showed $21.0\~30.9$ dB(V) on the ground, $15.3\~23.6$ dB(V) on the apartment, respectively. And the correlation of vibration velocity and nitration level at the measuring sites of lower altitude showed higher than that of higher altitude.
