Background: The study investigated the causes of safety accidents by facility, focused on safety accidents caused directly or indirectly by school facilities at elementary schools in S City. Purpose: The objective of this study is to provide materials for planning the construction of school buildings and the installation of school facilities and for improving existing facilities and ultimately to minimize mental and Physical losses from safety accidents caused by school facilities and to create pleasant education environment. Method: We selected 10 elementary schools in S City, analyzed the factors of safety accidents caused by facilities inside and outside the schools, and presented the results of the analysis including the factors of safety accidents caused by elementary school facilities. Result: It was found that safety accidents caused by elementary school facilities can be prevented to some degree by considering safety accidents in facility planning. As the safety accident rate is higher at elementary schools than at middle and high schools, it is essential to consider safety accidents in planning the construction of an elementary school and to execute safety accident prevention education in order to reduce safety accidents at elementary schools. In addition, as the curriculums are revised and new facilities are introduced for the new curriculums, elementary students' physical, psychological and environmental factors should be analyzed and studied closely and the results should be reflected in establishing the standards for the installation of elementary school facilities.

Recently, many performing arts facilities are under construction to accommodate people's various interest in cultural experiences. However, due to Korea's lack of know-how in such constructions and an absence of proper regulations on design planning, each designer designs and constructs the facilities differently, so several problems are occurring in the process of construction, such as high production cost for stage sets, high labor cost, low efficiency of stage work, and complicated work process. This resulted in low quality production of performance. This study is conducted to address the need for a systematic study on stage floor, and to propose an efficient way of regulating stage work in existing performing arts facilitiesand new facilities to be built. By a comparative analysis of performing arts facilities in Korea, and by analyzing stage floors of the facilities, this research suggests minimum modules as well as an appropriate unit of modules based on the minimum modules; and provides basic data on stage floors, which can be used for remodeling existing facilities orfor planning new cultural facilities. Also, this study suggests various ways of utilizing performing arts facilities in Korea.

Military facilities with masonry construction have a great portion in the whole military facilities. But lots of them have been used for more than 20 years, the degree of deterioration of the facilities are very serious. Futhermore, as small budget for the facilities maintenance and poor maintenance, the performance of the aged masonry facilities have continually decreased. We suggest a structural performance assesment criteria for the military facility through literature review, interview with experts and questionnaire. The assesment of structural performance includes the inclining and sinking degree of the facilities, durability of materials and resisting force of the structural members.

On the contrary to the expansion of feasibility studies on public construction and development projects, there is few feasibility studies on S&T, especially large-scale basic research facilities. Based on this critical mind, we tried the first feasibility study on large-scale basic research facilities, that is, the 4th Generation Light Source. First, it is validated whether the construction of 4th Generation Light Source is economically feasible and second, if economically feasible, the optimal place and time for construction are analyzed by using Analytical Hierarchy Process. This research shows that the construction is economically feasible irregardless of scenarios on future bio-medicine industry growth and to construct at Pohang in 2006 is optimal strategy. On the basis of this analysis, the feasibility studies on large-scale basic research facilities are expected to be more expanded and developed.

The purpose of this research is to propose a method that measures facilities condition around the construction sites in real time. In a result, using the Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) technology, it was possible to monitor and share the data of facilities condition in real time. The proposed method can contribute to prevent and deal with danger promptly.

Managing mega construction project is a very challenging task due to its large scale and complexity. To deal with the challenge, progress measurement must be estimated reliably and effectively. Many researchers have presented progress measurement methods, but previous studies are limited to single or several types of facilities. Thus, they have difficulties to being applied to mega construction projects that covers multiple facilities. To overcome the limitations, this paper proposes a progress measurement framework considering characteristics of mega construction projects. The framework consists of four phases : development of Work Breakdown Structure, determination of weights of main facilities and sub facilities, and calculation of the integrated progress rate. To validate the proposed approach, a case study of Sejong city in Korea was performed. The results of the case study showed the applicability of the proposed framework and confirmed that it enables to reliably measure progress rate of mega construction projects.
