This study provides allocation methods and transaction instances of introducing pilot projects of $SO_2$ emission trading that recently rises as an scheme for effective emission regulation to internalizing environmental externalities. The emissions caps that is the total endowment of $SO_2$ emission permits are calculated in each emission plant by considering methods for distributing those permits-by giving them away or by selling them at auction. The method adopted in this study has several defects in application of the reality. However, this study may have contributions to cognize the importance of, allowance trading among the participants and to firstly design the allocations of emission permits for each plant using real emission data.

Water loss is one of the typical but challenging problems in water management. To reduced water loss or increase water efficiency, the pilot projects were implemented in the TTD's irrigation area. Modern soil moisture technology and local level water user training were conducted together as a mean to achieve improved water efficiency. In terms of technology, soil moisture sensors and monitoring system were used to estimate crop water requirement to reduce unnecessary irrigation. This was found to save 16.47% of irrigated water and 25.20% of irrigation supply. Further improvement of water efficiency was gained by means of local level water user training in which stakeholders were engaged in the network of communications and co-planning. The lessons learnt from the TTD pilot project was translated into good water management practices at local level.

Sustainable housing design can contribute to dramatically reduced energy usage and can be applied to all new building projects. This paper explores the potential in Korea of applying available energy efficient building technologies. The objective was to determine the degree of energy reduction that can easily be achieved in new building design. The pilot project is providing some prototypes with display units which incorporate principles of sustainable design and performance utilizing the eco-design objectives. This building challenges ingrained preconceptions about system designs for four energy saving levels(40%, 60%, 80% and zero energy) and exposes barriers to low energy buildings posed by new standards and guidelines.

As urbanization and its consequences become the issue of modern cities, the concept of Smart City comes as the solution. Though a lot of researches on the topic is done, still no clear definition is given for both: Smart City itself and the factors of a successful Smart City. While most of the literature centers the role of ICT it is not a sufficient condition for a city to become Smart; the role of intellectual capital is underestimated. Using a collection of Smart City definitions across the time and providing concrete cases, this research seeks to bridge definition gaps and creates a tool for understanding Smart Cities. Drawing on the findings of several case studies, this research derives several explanatory factors. The citizen's engagement and governance are identified as the two key success factors of Smart City Projects along with ICT and other factors as enablers. The research has purpose as follows: 1) To bridge definition gaps of the "Smart City" by defining the term "Smart City," based on existing concepts and characteristic mechanisms across times.; 2) To develop an analytical tool for Smart City success factors through Explanatory Variables.; and 3) To identify major challenges and barriers of Smart City Projects implementations and to provide recommendations and solutions, based on existing governmental initiatives and pilot projects. The research contributes to the knowledge of smart cities and ICT integration for urbanization issues solution. By applying the findings of this research at the managerial level stakeholders may benefit by getting higher efficiency of the Smart City Projects and by utilizing knowledge and values of a Smart City Projects in a prioritized way.

While multiple medication is an important global medication safety issue, ununified concomitant medication by multiple prescriptions may cause more severe problems by the fact that those are neither intended nor watched. This could cause therapy duplication and severe drug interaction and etc. Korean Government made region wide scale programs twice to detect such problems and give warnings to pharmacists and doctors through the internet system in 2009-2010, which are called Drug Use Review Services Pilot Project. This study is an analysis and comparison of the results of the two DUR pilot projects. There were 5.0 and 4.2 cases of severe drug interaction by the concomitant medication of multiple doctors' prescriptions per 10 thousand prescriptions, while only 0.37 and 0 cases by the medication of same doctor's prescription(s). There were 426 and 381 cases of drug duplication by the concomitant medication of multiple doctors' prescriptions per 10 thousand cases, while only 197 and 23 cases by medication of same doctors' prescription(s). Doctors' participation to those projects improved at Jejudo the later one compared to Goyangsi the former, which means the efforts of them to make less prescription problems succeeded to decrease the number of cases caused from same doctor's prescription. But they could not decrease the number of problem cases caused from concomitant medication by multiple doctors prescriptions enough. The findings support the issue of strengthening and widening the project nation wide and the issue of recommending the patients to designate their own pharmacy, which can provide them counseling for unified and safety controlled medication.

The Human Sensory Feedback Laboratory, park of the Armstrong Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is involved in the development and evaluation of systems that provide sensory feedback to the human operator in telerobotic and virtual environment applications. Specific projects underway in the laboratory are primarily concerned with the information provided by force and vibrotactile feedback to the operator in dextrous manipulation tasks. Four specific research projects are described in the present report. These include : 1) experiments evaluating a 30-element fingertip display, which employs a titanium-nickel shape memory alloy actuator design to provide vibrotactile feedback about object shape and surface texture ; 2) of a fingertip force-feedback display for 3-dimensional information about object shape and suface texture ; 3) use of a force- feedback joystic to provide "force tunnel" information in pilot pursuit tracking tasks ; and 4) evaluations of a 7 degree-of-freedom exoskeleton used to control a robotic arm. Both basic and applied research questions are discussed.

As the largest shipbuilding company in the world and the leader in the Korean merchant shipbuilding industry, Hyundai Heavy Industries is currently struggling to carry out intensive productivity improvement efforts in order to be the global merchant shipbuilding market leader by surpassing in the competition with Japan and being free from the defiance of China armed with very cheap labor costs. This paper introduces the academy-and-industry collaborative project, a part of the productivity improvement efforts, which has conducted on the steel stockyard operations. As a pilot project that researches for the way of improving the stockyard operations and ignites further projects on the stockyard operations, the project defined the stockyard operations, measured current situations, and analyzed management dilemmas. In addition, the project developed the steel stockyard operations simulator. Besides that the simulator is used by the operations manager who has heavily relied on his work-experienced intuition when making decisions, this paper expects that further projects on the stockyard operations utilize the simulator for their own purposes.

Today, government is no longer considered the sole provider of public works or services. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has been recognized as an important approach to solving problems for governments in providing public works and services. However, the joint ownership of public works/services complicates the administration of PPP projects. Particularly, the fact that government may rescue a distressed project and renegotiate with the developer causes serious problems in project procurement and management. This paper aims to study when and how government will rescue a distressed project and what impacts government's rescue behavior has on project procurement and contract management. A game-theory based model for government rescue will be developed. This pilot study, the author hopes, may provide theoretic foundations to practitioners/policy makers for prescribing creative PPP procurement and management policies and for examining the effectiveness of PPP policies.
