Recently, many studies have been undertaken regarding the of introduction at roundabout in Korea. The studies related to roundabout capacity, however, is insufficient. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a capacity model based on real data. The main results are as follows. First, roundabout capacity in Korea was analyzed using HCM capacity model based on critical gap and following time estimated by Probit model. Entry capacity in Korea was evaluated to be similar to that of the U.S in the case of low circulating flow($Q_c$), but higher in the case of high circulating flow($Q_c$). Second, the basic capacity models in Korea were newly developed based on real traffic data. Third, models that consider geometric structure were developed based on the basic models. Finally, all of the developed models mentioned above were analyzed to be statistically significant.

도시유역에서의 장기간에 대한 물순환 해석 기술은 도시하천의 복원 및 건천화 방지 사업의 점증적인 요구에 따라 필수적으로 확보하여야 하는 기술이지만, 관련 연구와 실무에서의 이해도는 미진하다. 따라서, 사업의 계획과 실무 설계를 위하여 도시유역의 물순환에 대한 이해와 기술을 지원할 수 있는 체계적인 지침이 필요하다. 외국의 사례를 살펴보면 일본의 경우 1995년 건설성의 주요 정책으로 "도시에서 적정한 물순환계 재생에의 노력"을 추진하였으며, "도시의 물순환 재생 구상 책정 매뉴얼"을 작성하여 사례 연구로 6개 유역을 대상으로 검토하였고, 2000년에는 "도시유역 물순환계의 정량화 방안"을 우수저류침투기술협회에서 주관하여 물순환계 재생구상 또는 물순환계 마스터플랜을 수립함에 있어서 필요로 하는 물순환계의 해석적인 평가방법의 해설서를 발간하였다. 호주의 경우는 1999년부터 WSUD(Water Sensitive Urban Design)란 개념을 도입하여, 정부 및 각 지방별로 프로그램을 진행하고 있으며, 지침서와 기술지도서를 작성하여 교육을 하고 실무에 활용하고 있고, 사례 연구와 학술회의를 통하여 기술 교류를 활발히 하고 있다. 자연적인 요소와 인공적인 요소가 복잡하게 조합되어있는 도시지역의 물순환의 상태를 파악하기 위해서는 유역의 자연특성과 사회특성 등에 관한 기초 자료의 수집이 선행되어야 하며, 다양한 관측결과를 기초로 물 순환계의 구조, 인과관계를 알기 위해, 또 물순환계 구성요소의 일부가 변화한 경우 다른 부분에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서는 모델링이 필요하다. 또한 이 같은 해석 모형을 이용하여 여러 가지 물순환 개선 정책의 효과를 평가하고 그 결과를 시각적으로 나타내는 것이 가능하다면 정책의 입안에 관계하는 사람들에 있어 공통의 의사결정 지원 도구가 될 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 도시유역의 물순환 해석을 위한 일련의 과정, 즉 자료의 조사 및 취득에서부터 물순환 해석 모형을 이용한 정량적 현황파악, 물순환 개선 기법 및 평가를 수행함에 있어 주요 착안점 및 실무에서의 기술적 가이드를 제공하고자 하였으며, 보다 세밀한 도시유역의 물순환 해석을 위하여 우리나라와 일본에서 적용이 활발한 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형(WEP, SHER, SWMM)의 적용사례를 통하여 국내 도시하천의 물순환 해석에 활용함에 있어서의 실질적인 적용절차 등을 제시하고자 하였다.

Urban underground structures at low ground elevations (i.e. shallow substructures) unlike typical tunnel structures are subjected to low overburden and high water pressures. This often causes the underground structures to become damaged. Various conventional methods for the urban underpass structures such as dead weight increasement, round anchors, and tension piles, are significantly conservative and provok concerns about the costly, time-consuming installation process. Recently, permanent drainage system becomes to widely use for supplementing the conventional method's shortcomings, but, it is applied without the considerations for ground conditions and water table. In this study, therefore, numerical analyses are performed with various parameters such as groundwater level, wall height, and ground conditions in order to establish design guidelines for induced drainage system which is a kind of the permanent drainage method constructed at the Y-area. According to the numerical results, the induced drainage system is very effective in reducing the uplift pressure that acts on the base of underpass structures.

This study assessed the maintenance plan of the Shimbashi-Toranomon Development Area in Japan, which has recently been completed using the three-dimensional road system. In the main relevant law system, a three-dimensional road system, which enables the construction of buildings above and below the road, was applied. The specific construction regulations applying the financing power and knowledge of private business operators were applied. In the development district, city maintenance guidelines were established, and housing and shopping malls were regulated. This purpose was to promote change, unity of distance, effective use of land, and continuous urban revitalization with charm and vitality. The main features of the maintenance plan were accessibility and greenery, comfort and a sophisticated design, and a maintenance concept utilizing historical buildings and road space through the participation of local residents and the opinions of related committees. In addition, in the case of the construction of the upper and lower roads, the construction restrictions were relaxed, and the separation of the roads and the undergrounding of electric poles were promoted. The main aim was to improve the convenience of the residents and produce a pleasant road landscape.

This study was performed to assess the practice behavior and the need for cancer screening in order to design the community projects in Suwon city. A random sample of urban married women was surveyed on knowledge, attitude, and practice of breast and cervical cancer screening by telephone from April 28th to May 19th. Four hundred two married women completed the questionnaire, and the results were as follows: 1. Urban women were not generally knowledgeable about symptoms, signs and etiology of breast and cervical cancer. Only 11.4% of respondents were fully aware of those subjects. 2. Two hundred eighty six repondents(71.1%) reported having had a mammogram or Pap smear, while 116 respondents(28.9%) reported never having had a mammogram nor Pap smear. 3. The rate of mammogram increased by age and income status significantly(p〈0.05). 4. The majority(73.1%) of women who had a mammogram reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 24.3% of the women reported that they had a mammogram for specific breast problems. Meanwhile, the reasons reported for never having a mammogram were as follows; never had any problems (72.1%), no chance(11.2%), no time(4.3%). 5. The main factors associated with adherence to mammography screening guidelines was monthly income status. 6. The majority(80.6%) of women who had a Pap smear reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 16.0% of the women reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 16.0% of the women reported that they had a Pap smear for specific uterus problems. Meanwhile, the reasons reported for never having a Pap smear were: never had any problems(69.0%) and no chance(11.5%) 7. Women with higher income status were most likely to have a Pap smear regularly (p〈0.01), and the rate of Pap smear increased by education level significantly(p〈0.05). The main factors associated with adherence to Pap smear screening guidelines were education level and monthly income status, similar to those of mammograph. These findings indicate that married women in Suwon city show a lower rate of breast and cervical cancer screening practice than that of developed countries. The rate of mammograph was especially low. It is, therefore, suggested that cost, environmental factors, process, and information for screening tests be considered more programmatically before designing a community project for breast and cervical cancer screening.

Purpose: Condensation in walk-in closets attached to apartment bathroom has been known as an emerging issue that may threat occupants' comfort and health. Despite a number of design guidelines and enforcements to prevent condensation, condensation issues may still occur depending on various cases and scenarios. We aim to identify what condensation scenarios may lead to walk-in closet condensation and/or worse the existing condensation issues. Method: First we choose an actual walk-in closet of an apartment that suffers from sporadic condensation and resulting mold and mildew. Then we observe its relative humidity and temperature after the bathroom is used, in which excessive vapor is thought to be transported to the walk-in closet. We analyze Temperature Difference Ratio - a domestic indicator of condensation occurrence, and dew point temperature to compare it with surface temperature using 2D heat transfer simulation upon various condensation scenarios. Result: TDR of the test walk-in closet turns out be OK despite mold and mildew actually occurring. Hot water pipe installed in the floor would greatly reduce condensation. If hot water pipe in the upper floor, however, is not used, or hot water pipe of the closet is turned off during swing seasons, it is expected that condensations may still occur.

The purpose of this study is to suggest public roles and responsibilities about Architecture Heritage under Act on Value Enhancement of Hanok and Other Architecture Asset by analyzing the Architecture Heritage System of Spain. The case study on Spain, Catalonia, Barcelona's Act of architectural heritage was conducted to analyze the laws and guidelines related to Architectural Heritage and to confirm the perspective on Architectural Heritage and roles by subjects through interviews with the department in charge. The role of the central governments is to the responsibility of preservation that can be offset by create incentives and expand programs to create consensus among citizens. The architecture asset survey, which is the responsibility of the municipal governments, should increase confidence by the detailed survey to define the authority and role of the basic local government. And the municipal governments must increase the architectural heritage more support and incentive. Excellence architectural assets must diversify the range of incentive and preservation, and ask for registration that various subjects can apply it by expanding category of application to public sector, non-governmental organization, citizens rather than an owner.
