This study proposed an effective improvement direction for the education and welfare supporting facilities and equipment sectors to guarantee the right of disabled students to study in university. To derive high-demand items, the value engineering quality model technique was conducted on the students who majoring in architecture and the disabled students. The high-demand items for the education and welfare supporting facilities and equipment was detailed by interviews with the disabled students. Especially, anti-skid floor material, spacious access space for electric wheelchair, efficient operation system for elevator and cafeteria waiting time are strongly demanded for the disabled students. Based on this research, universities can make efficient investments and improvements in the education and welfare supporting facilities and equipment sectors for disabled students.

For the last 40 years, the Korean government has built and supplied diverse public facilities. The Korean government, which has supplied diverse public facilities for the last 40 years, has maintained these public facilities as breakdown maintenance under limited budget. Because of increase of aging of public facilities and insufficient budget, it needs the total public facility maintenance. Especially, as Japan has also experienced similar issues and solved these, they are the introduction of P-FM theory and see successful examples. In this study, by comparison Analysis on the Merits and Demerits for Public Facility management (P-FM) between domestic and abroad, it would find a future direction to public facility management P-FM is to go.

Heavy damages to properties with attendant losses were frequently caused by tornadoes in recent years. This natural hazard is one of the most destructive wind events that must be fully studied and well understood in order to keep the safety of structures and infrastructure facilities. On June 23, 2016, a severe tornado, which is an Enhanced Fujita (EF) 4 storm, occurred in the rim of a coastal city named as Yancheng in China. Numerous low-rise buildings as well as facilities (e.g., transmission towers) were destroyed or damaged. In this paper, damages to structures and infrastructure facilities by the severe tornado are reviewed. The collapses of residential buildings, industrial structures and other infrastructure facilities are described. With an overview of the damages, various possible mechanisms of the collapse are then discussed and utilized to reveal the initiation of the damage to various facilities. It is hoped that this paper can provide a concise but comprehensive reference for the researchers and engineers to help understand the tornado effects on structures and expose the vulnerabilities that need to be improved in current wind-resistant design practices.

The purpose of this study is to improve the neiboring environment in the internal and external university campuses. For this purpose, survey to 567 students in 7 universities in Daegu-Kyungbuk area. According to the changes of location pattern of campuses, the external facilities are play a role to help the function of internal facilities, and to accommodate the daily life of students. Therefore this study plan to find out their satisfaction and need of the neiboring facilities.

The population of Korean Society is aging rapidly at a pace which is unprecedented in the world. This demographic change results in the various socioeconomic and cultural changes accompanied by spatial changes. The purpose of this study is to examine major characteristics of residential medical facilities for the elderly and the life of those using the facilities of the Capital Region in Korea. Major findings of the study are as follows. The characteristics of the location of residential medical facilities for the elderly and the life of those using the facilities are influenced not only by the mobility of the elderly. but also by the distance between the facilities and Seoul and also by the residential environments of the facilities. The location of the facilities and the mobility of the elderly, followed by the residential location of the family have an effect on everyday life of the elderly. Therefore, the location for residential medical facilities is not recommended to be far from the metropolitan area.

Various housing measures are needed for the rapidly aging society of Korea. In particular, the welfare policy for the elderly has changed towards the community care. Taking this fact into consideration, it is necessary to have the establishment of a system that offers the elderly appropriate welfare services at their appropriate residence (ageing in place) for the effectiveness of the community care. In this aspect, there are a number of implications to Korea to study merits and demerits of the Health Facilities for the Aged (HFA) in Japan. The society of Japan has been rapidly aging since 1970, and Korea is to face the same situation. As for the data of this study, a total of 2,393 facilities (as of November 1999) mentioned in the annual report of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare were classified based on types of their establishment: (1) free-standing structures (603 facilities); (2) annexes to hospitals (981 facilities); (3) annexes to welfare facilities (511 facilities); and (4) annexes to clinics (298 facilities). Next, 239 facilities were selected through taking a sample of 10 percent from each type of the HFA mentioned above. This was done through the random sampling method with the computer program of MS EXCEL. The Implications of the results of analyses are as follows. First, most of the health facilities were planned with the scale that was larger than the scale of standard special nursing homes in terms of the total floor area. Precise equations that were to obtain precise results of the scale of the HFA and the appropriate number of residents were obtained through the method of the regression analysis. Korea and Japan have similarities in terms of culture, society and family relations; however, the two countries also have differences in terms of the application of laws on the establishment of houses, hospitals, and welfare facilities. As for planning the scale of the HFA, the realities of Korea should be considered. Second, as for the functional aspect of the HFA with a condition of returning home, the place before and after the HFA showed the pattern of 'from a residential place to a residential place' and 'from a hospital to a hospital.' This reveals a close correlation with the types of the HFAs and operational ways of the facilities. Its cause is considered to be the aspect of the operation and management of the HFA rather than the aspect of its function of providing services in association with medical and health facilities. Therefore, when intermediate welfare facilities are considered in Korea, it is strongly advised to consider the problem of annexes to other facilities and efficiency of sharing of the facilities in terms of its operation and management.

Recently, the reactor trip in nuclear power plants has mostly occurred by the failure of secondary electrical facilities. Some kinds of technical standards or acceptable criteria are required to regulate those facilities. Therefore, in this paper the failures of secondary electrical facilities which cause reactor trip are analyzed, and the inspection technologies including guidelines for secondary electrical facilities are developed.
