Determining the investment priority of the railway project is essential to keep its object of railway investment. [National railway construction plan] provide 4 major evaluation indicators and their weighting range in determining the investment priority of railway construction. Which are investment efficiency, inter-regional balance of development, network effects, government supporting policy. However this present criteria has inconsistency in determining economical feasibility of the railway transportation when applying the same evaluation indicator, investment efficiency, with the road transportation. The railway transportation is superior to road transportation in terms of transportation capacity and distance, while offering less carbon emissions. In spite of the prominent position of the railway transportation, it can be failed to obtain its proper investment priority when being determined under economical feasibility based. Therefore, this study analyzed the inconsistency under present evaluation criteria and proposed new evaluation method for the investment priority of the railway construction using AHP(analytic hierarchy process), while differentiate from the road construction. This method is optimized for only determining the priority of the railway construction itself under object of railway investment respectively.

This study investigated the environmental and economical assessment for sewage sludge treatment options including biogasification, incineration, carbonization, drying, and solidification. Additionally it is also investigated the economical feasibility of the current guidelines (Digestion efficiency for organic waste = 45 %, Moisture content of sludge = 95 and 93 %) and it aimed to suggest the scientific informations for a policy-making. For the economical feasibility the 30 plants with anaerobic digestion treatment and the 17 plants without anaerobic digestion treatment were investigated. The result of the comparison of sewage sludge treatment options showed that anaerobic digestion+incineration was the most economically feasible considering incineration and drying. For smaller treatment capacity, solidification was the most economically feasible considering carbonization and solidification and anaerobic digestion+carbonization was the most economically feasible considering carbonization and solidification.

The economical efficiency of conversion of the PC (pulverized coal) firing boiler to the CFB (circulating fluidized bed) boiler which used Koran anthracite as fuel was evaluated. The economic feasibility study was also carried out with regard to maintenance of the existing PC boiler. The sensitivity of economical efficiency with variation of the electric power and coal industry and the policy of government was analyzed and compared. As a results of the evaluation, the economical efficiency of maintenance of the existing PC boiler was higher than that of conversion to the CFB boiler because of the special policy of the government for Korean anthracite. However, the conversion to the CFB boiler was more economically attractive from a point of view of effective use of energy resources and future electric power industry. Additionally, the fund support for electric power industry using Korean anthracite would be effective as changing the policy of the government.

This study is expected to provide some basic data on how to apply more economical and efficient eco-friendly factors to reduce the carbon emissions. It has been scrutinized and analyzed the environmental factors of passive eco-friendly elements along with active eco-friendly elements as more efficient factors for energy conservation based on the case of a newly constructed broadcasting building with the green building certification in Sangam-dong DMC area. The first analysis was the energy consumption trends in Korea and the necessity of energy saving. Secondly, it was examined the energy consumption in the current status of the broadcasting building. Thirdly, it was looked into the correlation between the eco-friendly design application factors applied to the broadcasting building and the energy consumption types. As a result of the analysis, the application of fan and feed pump inverter along with ventilation system of waste heat recovery ventilation system were more meaningful in accordance with the economic feasibility of broadcasting buildings rather than economical effect of passive elements such as rooftop garden, reinforcement of building insulation. Also, the application of lighting control had the economical feasibility. Therefore, when it is intended to change the green building certification energy related evaluation items of the similar broadcasting building types, it is necessary to change the direction of adding weight to the more economical active element items in the future.

This research was undertaken to do the technical and economical feasibility study of membrane water treatment system. For the technical feasibility study, batch water treatment system using UF(ultrafiltration) was set up and several experiments were carried out. The performance of the UF membrane was tested in terms of turbidity. The experimental results showed that the UF membrane process produced less than 1 NTU water regardless of input water turbidity. For the economical feasibility study, the cost model was analyzed and programmed for simulation. Also costs of the membrane water treatment and the conventional treatment were evaluated. The simulation results showed that the unit production cost increased when design flow or permeate flow decreased. The production cost of membrane water treatment system was lower than that of the conventional system. Both technical and economical feasibility study showed that the UF membrane water purification system was a very competitive water purification process.
