Efficient spatial planning is one of the necessary factors to successfully respond to climate change. And researchers often use LULC(Land-Use/Cover) data to conduct land use and spatial planning research. However, LULC data has a limited number of grades related to urban surface, so each different urban structure appearing in several cities is not easily analyzed with existing land cover products. This limitation of land cover data seems to be overcome through LCZ(Local Climate Zone) data used in the urban heat island field. Therefore, this study aims to first discuss whether LCZ data can be applied not only to urban heat island fields but also to other fields, and secondly, whether LCZ data still have problems with existing LULC data. Research methodology is largely divided into two categories. First, through literature review, studies in the fields of climate, land use, and urban spatial structure related to LCZ are synthesized to analyze what research LCZ data is currently being used, and how it can be applied and utilized in the fields of land use and urban spatial structure. Next, the GIS spatial analysis methodology is used to analyze whether LCZ still has several errors that are found in the LULC.

Purpose: Although the damage caused by abnormal temperatures is extensive, blow-up or black ice is typical in concrete structures. In this study, PCM with high phase change energy was mixed with concrete to reduce temperature damage to concrete pavement. Method: In order to reduce temperature damage to low temperatures and high temperatures, capsule-type PCM with phase change temperatures of 4.5℃ and 44℃ was replaced by 10%, 30%, and 50%, and thermal performance experiments and compressive strength experiments were conducted using thermocouples and variable chambers. Result: As a result of the thermal performance experiment, it was found that the incorporation of PCM improves temperature resistance by up to 25% or more, and increases thermal resistance at all temperatures with high specific heat when substituted in large amounts. As a result of the compression strength experiment, a substitution of 30% or more resulted in a decrease in the compression strength, and a large strength difference was shown based on the phase change temperature of the PCM. Conclusion: The incorporation of PCMs has been shown to increase the thermal performance of concrete, with the greatest increase in thermal performance near the phase change temperature of PCM. In addition, a small strength reduction of 10% to 20% occurs at the highest substitution rate of 50% substitution, so there is no significant problem with usability, and additional PCM substitution is expected to improve thermal performance.

Recently, as the magnitude and frequency of earthquakes increases, research is needed to increase the ductility of the columns in order to prevent the collapse of structures. In this study, to evaluate the performance of columns reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcing bars, the FE model for the dynamic analysis of structures reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcing bars for circular and rectangular columns is to be verified using the results of uniaxial compression experiments in the previous study. As a result, the experimental value of the column reinforced with continuous transverse reinforcement and the result value related to the dynamic analysis showed similar behavior, and the reliability was high. As a result of the analysis, the usability of the rectangular column reinforced with continuous lateral reinforcing bars was confirmed because the dissipated energy performance of the columns reinforced with spiral reinforcing bars was higher than that of the columns reinforced with band reinforcing bars.

An INS is a composite navigation system providing "added value" so defined if work stations provide Multi-Function Displays(MFDs) integrating information and functions for navigational tasks. Even though the minimum requirements for an INS are defined by IMO performance standards, a generic list of the devices and functions that constitute an INS does not exist, so the configuration of the INS is different for each manufacturer, and guidelines based on users' perspectives are also insufficient. This study was conducted to enhance the usability of the INS by analyzing the information required by users according to the ship's operating status and tasks and effectively structuring it in the MFD of the INS. By analyzing INS-related international standards and manufacturers' component equipment lists, mandatory navigation information was selected and card sorting tests were conducted on ship operators with experience in using MFDs to group the information required for each INS task. The results of the study can serve as a basic guideline for manufacturers to structure information based on users' experience when designing products.

Together with the increase of public housing complex, the issues of community following residential environment under contemporary society has become an important issue and the collapse of traditional community has long been emerged as an important social issue. In order to facilitate communities within the public housing complex, various discussions have been continued, and for addressing such an issue under this study, the public housing complexes n Seoul, the capital region and other major cities have been surveyed and analyzed to draw following conclusion as the design-type study to propose a model of community facilities. It displays that there is certain limitation with respect to the diversity of programs when comparing the community facility standard defined under the public housing related laws and regulations. This is attributable to the fact that it is a limitation to satisfy the level of satisfaction for residents that expect the improvement in quality of leisure life, and the facility standard that is standardized around the physical facility environment has certain limitations to enhance the level of satisfaction for residents when the demand has been on the rise with respect to quality. For this fact, the approach in consideration of diversity for the facility standard has to be made in advance. As the utility of external space for the public housing is increased, it is reasonable to consider the plan to secure environment through the architectural factors, and it has the strength in enhancing the utility of internal and external space of the community facilities.

The intelligent product is a product in which interactive technologies are applied to an existing common product, called a mother product. This study focuses on interaction design of a hedonic intelligent product and investigates an efficient method of input control of hedonic intelligent products. The hedonic intelligent product is a product in which the hedonic attributes such as play and pleasure are added to the mother product. Utilitarian intelligent products enhance practical functions of mother products. The utilitarian intelligent product finds user behavior in the mother product to improve functional elements for a user experience design. On the other hand, hedonic intelligent products find various emotional values that impart hedonistic attributes and apply them to design. The input method studied through the case study is classified into the imitation input method and the transformation input method derived from the mother product. Based on this, two independent variables of intelligent pinwheels were designed, and its usability evaluation was conducted under the same output condition to investigate a more effective input method. As a result, the transformation input method was rated higher in originality than the imitation input method. This result implies that users had new experiences from the transformation input method, which leads to a higher intention of paying for new experiences.
