This paper deals with a evaluation algorithm of interruption cost in distribution systems in the case where Dispersed Storage and Generation (DSG) systems are interconnected with the distribution systems. If DSG systems are operated as the function of the load levelling in distribution systems at the normal conditions and as the uninterruptible power supply in fault areas at the emergency conditions, the reliability improvement of the distribution systems can be expected. In other words, the benefit can be represented by the cost avoiding interruption according to the operation of DSG systems when a fault is occurred. Therefore, this paper presents the evaluation algorithm for interruption cost in order to evaluate the benefit for the uninterruptible power supply of DSG systems in a quantitative manner.

This study analyzed and evaluated the effect of agricultural water reduction by introducing automated agricultural water management using alternative cost approach. The approach is possible to evaluate none market property as an asset. The saved agricultural water was evaluated as none market property. As the alternative goods, Seongju and Donghwa dam, typical irrigation dams in domestic, were employed. The economic benefit from water saving effect of an automated agricultural water management was calculated as depreciation expense and maintaining cost of construction agricultural dam per saved agriculture water. As a result, the saved agriculture water was 8.5 million ton per year, and the economic benefit of it was $1.3{\sim}2.1$ million won.

비용편익분석은 어떤 사업으로 인하여 자연배분의 변화가 생길 때 그에 따른 경제적 편익을 측정하게 되며 사업을 시행하여 생기는 편익과 비용을 비교하여 경제성을 평가하고 대안 중에서 우선순위를 결정할 때 유용하다. 따라서, 본 논문은 자본에 관한 투자기준을 마련하기 위해서 분석용 모델인 "비용편익분석"을 활용 하여 제조기업의 어떤 사업계획에 의하여 생겨나는 자본요소가 어떻게 투자되어야 생산비용을 최소화 할 수 있는지를 자본투자에서 가장 핵심적인 생산설비투자와 기술개발투자에 대한 비용편익분석을 통하여 그 방법론을 제시함으로써, 자본투자에 있어서 "비용효과분석"의 활용성을 확인하고자 한다.

This study is focused on the image benefit cost criterion value and the pure image benefit figure of the local food service industries, V, T, and O based on the theory and factor-analyses of food service industry. To accomplish the aim of this study, theoretical and positive research methods have been applied. The steps of food service image decision projects for the activating of identification on food service have been examined through theories and positive analyses. As the results, 'the image of menu service' appears to be the most effectual factor on the pure image benefit score, which is the priority order of the project planning for the food service image marketing of Jeonju area. As for the image benefit cost criterion value, 'the image of managemental service system', 'the image of approachability', and 'the service of internal surroundings' have been proved to be the most effectual factor in V, T, O respectively. On the other hand, this study shows that V manages its image of food service most effectually with 1.7 billion won, T with 96 million won, O with 7.2 million won for the image marketing strategy.

This study aims to suggest the basics for the implementation of the farmstead-specific early warning system (FEWS) for weather risk management nationwide. A survey by questionnaire was conducted to examine farmer's response, and a cost-benefit analysis was made to examine the effect of the FEWS on the economy. The farmers who volunteered to participate in this survey responded that they were generally satisfied with the FEWS, and that they used it well for farming. Willingness to pay (WTP) for the early warning service was estimated to be 8,833 KRW per month by survey respondents. If the early warning service is extended to nationwide and 50% of farmers use it for six months, then the ratio of benefit to cost will be 2.2, indicating that nationwide expansion of the FEWS is very feasible.

Since 1989, 9 major complex have been invested with government funds, for the purpose of developing agricultural tourism to increase agricultural income and job opportunity, as well as providing urban population leisure opportunity. However, systematic and comprehensive approaches were rarely done in analyzing its economic impacts. This study, therefore, focuses on analyzing tourism effect and its economic value and implication for a representative rural tourism site,"Daeho rural tourism complex". To analyze travel pattern, expenditure pattern, and degree of satisfaction from travel to Daeho complex, Travel Cost Method(TCM) was employed based on survey method. Results from linear model with statistical significance implies that tourism benefit for each visitor is 28,373 won and total annual benefit for the Daeho site is 7 billion won. Considering annual benefit stream, the present value of total benefits are 132.9 billion won and 70 billion won at 5% and 10% of discounting rate, respectively. Using the values of benefit estimated from this study and investment cost, B/C ratio, IRR, and NPV were calculated to be 1.01, 1.67 billion won, and 5.19% at 5% of discounting rate. These results could be directly compared with the previous analyses.

The notion of System of Systems (SoS), which is composed by many independent systems (i.e., Constituent Systems, CS), has emerged in various domains including social infrastructure. It is widely expected that complex requirements, which cannot be achieved in each CS-level, will be achieved in an SoS-level. While verification of SoS-level goal achievement is one of the most important problems, concrete case studies on SoS modeling and verification are still rare. In this paper, we focus on the fact that each CS performs an action for its own purpose by its own decision-making mechanism. We propose a novel Action-Benefit-Cost (ABC) SoS model which caters to the independent decision-making mechanisms of CSs. Using an abstract SoS example, this proposal provides a case study for the modeling and quantitative verification of the ABC SoS model.

Background : In order to cope with changes in the management environment at hospitals, increased interests are drawn in patient foodservice system on Continuous Quality Improvement Activity as the method of approaching a quality food service and effective management. Thus, as a part of this activity, this study was conducted to evaluate job flow improvement that was already performed and the results of that process at the dietetic department of a university hospital, focusing on improving management. Method : On February 15 of 1998. the dietetic department formed a job flow-improvement to decide on the priority of job flow improvement, and prepared specific action strategies and schedule of the priority: after a 5 month process period, job improvement achieved on June 15. 1998. Also, economic achievement of the task was evaluated through labor productivity analysis and cost-benefit analysis. Results : The patient food service system which was managed decentralized at the present hospital was centralized, some steps of the food service process were integrated, and quality of patient food was improved. Also, as a solution of the problems expected when conducting job flow improvement was made on food service equipments and utensils. The result of evaluating the job flow improvement that labor productivity improved by 18.2% compared to before the improvement and the result of the analysis of cost-benefit showed that Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio was 2.22. showing financial merit on the investment. Conclusions : Continuous Quality Improvement Activity needs to be initiated and conducted in the future in various areas of hospital foodservice system in order to actively adopt to ever changing hospital management environment. In order to achieve this goal, many researches and more efforts need to be put in by people in charge of hospital food service management, and interests and support are needed from hospital policy makers.

Recently Urban Gas Business Companies have been allowed to construct High Pressure Natural Gas pipelines, if they adopt the Risk Reduction Measures(RRMs) recommended by Korea Gas Safety Corporation(KGS) after safety assessment. This paper presents a Cost Benefit Analysis(CBA) method, when KGS performs safety assessment and recommends RRMs to Safety Appraisal Committee, to help the Committee make judgements on whether the proposed RRMs are reasonably practicable. We carried out quantitative risk assessment to high pressure natural gas pipelines as a case study and analysed cost benefit for the suggested RRMs. In conclusion, we found out the presented CBA method using PF was proper in Korea.
