This study is to find out the changes and features of male consumers' life style and purchase tendency according to the change of Korean fashion market, and based on which to suggest the design for the 20s men as well as a proper distribution channel for it. Documentary research and investigation were done together for the study. By reviewing documents focused on previous studies and declaring the change of men's fashion shopping tendencies and the following changes and features of their fashion sense and styles a conceptional frame for a design suggestion was presented. Ways to investigate were men's wear collection research, Q-technique. First of all, they tend to boldly reduce unnecessary purchases and do not hesitate to focus on the wanted item, expanding the trend of 'value purchase.' Secondly, men's wear use various design elements with feminine images, while the materials, colors and design expressive techniques that have been exclusively used for women's wear, began to be applied to men's one, turning them into gentle styles with womanhood is stressed. Thirdly, Korean distribution channel is rapidly diversified from departments to new-concept ones such as multi-brand stores. Especially, displaying and selling various optional products, multi-brand stores lead such diversification of fashion distribution channel. Fourthly, features of the drapery types favored by the 20s men are that they like no-chromed dark or blackish colors with fixed structure and partially-applied drapery on the clothes. Fifthly, it turns out that men in their 20s set a premium on design and price while they buy clothes.

In 21 Century, people's living standards and material requirements have been continuously improved with the development of society. The demand for commercial space is not merely content with purchases. What's more, the consumers want to experience some activities offered by the brand while shopping. In this paper, we mainly research the spatial structure and the spatial expressional characteristics of brand lifestyle shop of Korean brands built in Seoul area. First, through the documentary research, we get the four characteristics of interior space performance of brand lifestyle shop, which are, interaction, proximity, symbolism and compound. Secondly, we select 8 brand lifestyle shops in the Seoul area as the object of this study, and analyze the actual application of the four characteristics in these cases. Thirdly, through the analysis of case study, we make a concrete analysis of the expressional characteristics of Korea's brand lifestyle shop. Finally, we reach the conclusions: First, the brand lifestyle shop provides space for both brands and consumers to communicate with each other. Second, in brand lifestyle shop there is a special space which is different from the other commercial space. The existence of this special space makes brand lifestyle shop more personalized and more specialized, and makes the customers have more interesting when they are shopping. Third, compared with the sales space, the non-sales space accounts for a larger proportion. Fourth, in spatial representation, interaction plays a role in connecting brands with consumers. Fifth, brand lifestyle shop has the same spatial concept, but it has different application and embodiment in each case. Each brand lifestyle shop has its own unique features. This is the economic strategy used by brand sustainable development and expansion.

These days mobile phone which were used mainly by grown-up persons are now widely used among children as well due to new social demands. Despite this trend, existing mobile phones are still being designed and produced according to the taste of people in their 20s and 30s, even the elderly, not satisfying physical, emotional and cognitive characteristics raised by children. This study aimed to extract the design factors of mobile phones for children by reflecting functional factors requested by children and parents in QFD's customer demands. First, functional and design factors requested in mobile phones for children were extracted from existing products and documentary records and some functional factors were selected through a process of integration and omission. The survey research was conducted on children and parents, based on the selected functional factors. Based on the survey research, functional factors were analyzed using AHP, and key functional factors considered by children and parents in mobile phones for children were investigated. Finally, in order to reflect the results in QFD, the correlation between functional factors and design factors was constructed as HOQ through experts' evaluation. The results showed that both children and parents recognized the basic functions such as telephoning, text messaging and phone directory as high priority functional factors, even though the relative importance was different between children and parents. Therefore, it is likely to satisfy the desires of both children and parents by designing mobile phones for children in consideration of design factors such as menu depth, button independence and button arrangement. It is expected that this study will promote experiments on design factors and propose basic data for and guidelines to mobile phone design for children.

Especially, since the social value of design becomes important, the social role of public design has been emphasized as an effective value for public interest and environment. It is just about 10 years since design mind in the public sector has been made domestically. Even though domestic public design has been studied not so long, it has developed with radical change of social culture and science technology. This study targets public environment in modern dense urban space. Also, it grasps the trend of public design studies through analysing and documentary survey of the existing studies, and based on that result, aims at presenting the direction that domestic public design studies should progress. This study selected 253 theses(1989.6~2015.11) by collecting primary, secondary data about public design studies, and implemented overall meta-analysing about the trend of domestic public design studies. As a result, public design has been studied intensively in the field of design about environment, architecture, etc. The trend analyzing of study purpose and keyword has a tendency which is weighted towards exploratory study focused on suggestion and development about object and realm of public design. The trend analyzing of study area tends to study overall part of public space or public facility rather than specific area and object.

The purpose of this study is to develop documentation elements that can effectively record urban regeneration projects, focusing on port cities, in line with the historical background of urban regeneration projects. In order to develop recording elements, elements that need to be recorded were derived from eight fields, including geographical information, industrial information, and legal and administrative changes, from the Urban Regeneration Act, Port-related Act, and Urban Regeneration-related research. A Delphi survey was conducted three times targeting 20 experts related to urban regeneration to gather their opinions on elements derived from the Urban Regeneration Act, Port-related Act, and related research, and 32 final elements were derived. The recording elements for each selected area are geographical information(6), immaterial information(4), environmental maintenance(5), industrial and economic primary and secondary industries(2), and industrial and economic tertiary industries(3), changes(6), member participation(4), local legal and administrative systems(2). In addition, the applicability of urban regeneration documentation elements to local government records management experts was verified.

The Equipment Expenses section of the Poom-Saem that is used for Construction Cost Estimation of public sectors in Korea has been rarely revised, and so does not reflect changes of Construction Equipment technology and construction methods, since it was established based on data from Japan and the U.S in the early 1960s. In order to make reasonable estimation of equipment expenses for a bulldozer and a loader, the domestic and overseas documentary records were investigated. Further, 16 construction sites were visited, and 20 Construction Equipment leasing services were surveyed. The optimum level of each item which consists of equipment costs was revealed based on the result of the analysis on the figures of equipment costs calculation from the Poom-Saem and the collected data. The research will be the foundation for applying the rapid development of Construction Equipment and technology to the appropriate cost estimations and the ground work of related studies.
