In 1994, Korean construction research and development (R&D) projects received investments amounting to 1.2 billion KRW, an amount that rose to 164.8 billion KRW in 2007. Under the current system, construction researchers submit the application records of Construction Research and Development (R&D) in construction projects to the Korea Institute of Construction & Transportation Technology Evaluation and Planning. The performance of Construction R&D projects has thus been dependent on the subjective reporting of the results by the researchers themselves. For this reason, it is difficult to secure confidence in the records of Construction Research and Development. Therefore, this research suggested measures for revitalizing Construction Research and Development, analyzed approaches to cost-saving in Construction Research and Development, and analyzed economic effectiveness in the results of construction R&D.

The goal of this study is to determine which is the better bomb; a general purpose bomb or a special bomb, from the point of view of cost-effectiveness of air munitions. What we call the special bomb is a laser guided bomb which adds a guidance control unit on the head of a general purpose bomb. Althrough their characteristics of explosion are the same, their effectivenesses are very defferent due to their probability of hitting the targets. Now, in order to measure their relative a effectiveness, we could select various enemy targets such as runway, radar, and then Ive could also calculate requirments of both bombs and firghter aircraft sorties according to the desired damage level of each target, Following above steps, we can derive the total costs and compare effectiveness. As a results of this study, when the attrition rate of aircraft is under $1.1\%$, the general purpose bomb is better than the laser guided bomb. Above $1.1\%$ attrition rate, we could say that luser guided bomb is the most economical bomb.

Recently Life Cycle Cost Analysis for civil infrastructures such as pavements, bridges, and dams has been emphasized However, so far, there are few systems available for life cycle cost analysis of bridges at design stage. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop a user-friendly life-cycle cost analysis system for LCC-effective optimal design decision making at design stage. The program is based on the proposed LCC model, formulation, analysis modules and systematic procedure that suit Korean construction conditions. It is expected that the developed system can be effectively utilized for more LCC-effective design of bridges. It is applied to an actual bridge design project in order to demonstrate its effectiveness and applicability.

Background: Although screening is necessary where gastric cancer is particularly common in Asia, the performance outcomes of mass screening programs have remained unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate cost-effectiveness outcomes of the national cancer screening program (NCSP) for gastric cancer in South Korea. Materials and Methods: People aged 40 years or over during 2002-2003 (baseline) were the target population. Screening recipients and patients diagnosed with gastric cancers were identified using the NCSP and Korea Central Cancer Registry databases. Clinical outcomes were measured in terms of mortality and life-years saved (LYS) of gastric cancer patients during 7 years based on merged data from the Korean National Health Insurance Corporation and National Statistical Office. We considered direct, indirect, and productivity-loss costs associated with screening attendance. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) estimates were produced according to screening method, sex, and age group compared to non-screening. Results: The age-adjusted ICER for survival was 260,201,000-371,011,000 Korean Won (KW; 1USD=1,088 KW) for the upper-gastrointestinal (UGI) tract over non-screening. Endoscopy ICERs were lower (119,099,000-178,700,000 KW/survival) than UGI. To increase 1 life-year, additional costs of approximately 14,466,000-15,014,000 KW and 8,817,000-9,755,000 KW were required for UGI and endoscopy, respectively. Endoscopy was the most cost-effective strategy for males and females. With regard to sensitivity analyses varying based on the upper age limit, endoscopy NCSP was dominant for both males and females. For males, an upper limit of age 75 or 80 years could be considered. ICER estimates for LYS indicate that the gastric cancer screening program in Korea is cost-effective. Conclusion: Endoscopy should be recommended as a first-line method in Korea because it is beneficial among the Korean population.

This study is to estimate economic benefits of Standardization R&D of Urban Rail System. Benefit was to be realized through standardization of main areas such as train vehicle, railway, power system, and signal system. To derive and calculate the quantitative benefit, the sources of economic impact was divided into three dimensions -operational cost savings, import substitution, and safety effects. Economic effect of the standardization was categorized based on a modified BSC model. Economic benefits from time and labor savings are converted into cost savings. Import substitution and investment multiplier effect have a positive impact in addition to cost savings. The estimation of the standardization R&D of Urban Rail System was conservatively estimated 370 billion Won. Cost effectiveness of standardized safety system was conservatively translated into economic benefit in this analysis. This study provides a practical guide to economic evaluation of the various railway R&D projects.
