In this study, indoor thermal environment, resident behavior of operating cooling device, and thermal comfort vote are investigated at the living room of apartment during summertime in Seoul. Based on the results of the investigation, indoor air temperatures that residents turn air conditioners (especially for cooling load in this research) on and off were found out. The relationships between outdoor weather condition and the number of days using air conditioner, and whether operating patterns of the devices were also found out. The acceptable thermal comfort zone is figured out from these results, and this research is expected to contribute to the development of household air conditioner. The results can be summarized as the followings; Residents turned the air conditioner on at $29.76^{\circ}C$ of indoor air temperature, and $28.89^{\circ}C$ of $SET^\ast$. And turned the air conditioner off at $27.31^{\circ}C$ of indoor air temperature, and $23.70^{\circ}C$ $SET^\ast$. Therefore, acceptable thermal comfort zone could be lied between these temperatures. If comfortable indoor thermal environment can be obtained with various architectural passive cooling techniques based on the results, energy consumption of cooling devices will be reduced.

Recently, parking problems have repeatedly occurred not only in the residential areas of the old town, but in detached residential areas, neighborhood living facilities, and commercial areas of the planned New Town. This study suggests a strategy to minimize parking problems before constructing a New Town by reviewing these parking problems at the new city district planning stage. Parking problems can be divided into supply-demand and non-supply-based, and the solution strategy is reviewed in terms of supply and operation. The procedure for applying the solution strategy is proposed according to the effectiveness and ease of application.First, this paper suggests the PAZ (Parking Analysis Zone) as the basic analysis unit. Second, the supply-based parking problem in the concerned area based on the land use plan of Hanam Gyosan is reviewed. Last, solutions to a parking problem for each PAZ are presented.

To mitigate the development gap between urban and rural area, the government has implemented project planning as the Rural Integrated Development in each Gun level since 1986. On account of shortage of the development fund, the government had changed the Gun level development into Myeon level development so called the Rural Central Settlement Zone Development. The government had started nine pilot projects throughout Korea from 1990. This study is aimed at identifing problems that found in the course of implementation of the projects and recommending the new direction of the successful implementation of the projects in the future. The problems and directions found in the cource of project implementation were as follows: 1. Project implementation by investment priority considering economic and financial rate of return should be made. 2. Objective project planning should be made. 3. Equal allocation of the limited investment fund by group interest and egoism should be prohibited. 4. Enforcement of special man power should be taken into account. 5. Unification of the diversified existing terms and conditions of loans for house construction and improvement. 6. Road development oriented budget allocation should be improved. 7. Sufficient development fund should be procured considering the present rate of sufficiency of the project cost as 36%. 8. Sufficient supply of the credit loans for improvement of living environment of the farmers should be realized. 9. Rational implementation planning in connection with farm household income source development should be made.

With the growing interest in skincare and maintenance, there are increasing numbers of studies on the classification of skin type and the factors influencing each type. This study presents a novel methodology by using data mining, for the determination of the relationships between skin type, lifestyle, and patterns of cosmetic utilization. Eight skin-specific factors, which are moisture, sebum in U-zone (both cheeks), sebum in T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), pore, melanin, wrinkle, acne, hemoglobin, were measured in 1,246 subjects living in South Korea, in conjunction with a questionnaire survey analyzing their lifestyles and pattern of cosmetic utilization. Using various multivariate statistical methods and data mining techniques, we classified the skin types based on the skin-specific values, determined the relationship between skin type and lifestyle, and accordingly sorted the subjects into clusters. Logistic regression analysis revealed gender-related differences in the skin; therefore, separate analyses were performed for males and females. Using the Gaussian Mixture Modeling (GMM) technique, we classified the subjects based on skin type (two male and four female). Using the ANOVA and decision tree techniques, we attempted to characterize the relationship between each skin type and the lifestyles of the subjects. Menstruation, eating habits, stress, and smoking were identified as the major factors affecting the skin.

The present study was conducted to investigate the behavior and distribution characteristics of fishes near an artificial reef close to the waters of Uljin marine ranch. A 200-kHz, dual-beam frequency transducer was attached to the side of a ship for acoustic measurements. The fish formed small groups in the bottom layer near the artificial reef around the afternoon-sunset period; at night, the fish did not form groups and remained individually scattered. During dawn-sunrise and morning, the fish formed groups again and were found near the upper and middle layers of the artificial reef. High density of fish occurred near the middle of the nautical zone during morning, afternoon-sunset, and dawn-sunrise, periods; at nighttime, the distribution was uniform across the entire zone. Moreover, the mean Nautical Area Scattering Coefficients (NASC, m²/nmi²) value was highest during dawn-sunrise at 400.2 m²/nmi², similar during night and morning (100.5 m²/nmi²), and lowest during afternoon-sunset (20.1 m²/nmi²). The present study is expected to provide the background for understanding the behavioral characteristics of fish living near artificial reefs and estimating the density and biomass of fish.

Intertidal zone has been restored by the Sihwa Lake tidal power plant is operating in 2012. After restoration, to check the difference of bird group's community change out, the examination has been carried out from 2009 to 2014 when sea dike sluicer runs, the intertidal zone area was increased to $20.3km^2$ after restoring in $5.3km^2$. There was no significant difference in the number of individuals congestion of the whole, but the results of analysis of the differences between the six bird group by number of individuals, it showed a significant difference in Diving ducks(p = 0.237) the Herons (p<0.001), Swans and Geese (p<0.01), Dabbling ducks (p<0.001), showed a significant difference in the Shore birds (p<0.001) gulls (p<0.001) except for diving of ducks. Sihwa Lake intertidal zone was only just been restored, but environment and the improvement of benthic ecosystem has been carried out, It is determined that waterfowls that living based on intertidal zone are also affected. This study is a good example of the restoration of the intertidal zone that disappeared, which hard to find a similar case. It will be utilized as basic data of ecological monitoring for the conservation and management of the future of the intertidal zone later.

Micropaleontological analyses of the bathic foraminifera of 132 subtidal surface samples of Asan Bay located in the middle of the western coast of Korea, fringing the Yellow Sea collected during late May-early June 1982, shows the results as follows; -Forainiferal numbers of total assemblages are influenced by hydrodynamic and ecologic factors as well as by the sedimentation in the study area. -Badly preserved faunas including replaced faunas seemed to be fossils, all having living counterparts in the study area and showing a somewhat similar type of wall structures with those of the total assemblages and showing no characteristic bathymetric occurrence compared to that of the biocoenose s.1. of the species, lead to infer theirprobable derivation from the environment without a remarkable environmental difference from the study area. But this inference demands further study in consideration of the physical conditions of the study area. -Living/total ratios show a strong negative correlation with the total foraminiferal numbers excluding replaced faunas. But this trend is somewhat deviated in the relatively high ratios. -Fisher-alpha diversity indices of the total assemblages excluding replaced faunas are lying between 1.7 and 3.7. Totals assemblages are mainly composed of hyaline forms with limited porcelaneous and agglutinated ones.
