Conventional foodservice system has been the most prevalent system across the country. However, all the elementary students throughout the country is not being provided with school lunch program because of the restriction on equipping school foodservice facilities. So commissary foodservice system was introduced to school lunch program in 1991. This study was designed to evaluate condition of existing major equipment including volume, probable useful life, and frequency of use and determine equipment improvements on conventional and commissary school foodservice systems. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 87 dietians of conventional and 46 dietians of commissary school foodservices in Kyunggi-do. Response rates were 89.1% and 91.3%, respectively . Approximately one third of commissary foodservices were converted from conventional to commissary. Only 52.6% of conventional and 53.5% of commissary foodservice facilities/equipments have been desirable in quality and quantity. Capacity, functional ability, using frequency, and relationship with efficient work management were analyzed according to school foodservice system.

The purpose of this study is to develop a PC-based water supply facilities information system. This system will be a major stepping-stone for developing Geographic Information Systems(GIS) in Korea, which is constructed by integrating the technologies related to Automated Mapping(AM) systems and Facilities Management(FM) system. And the results of this study are as follows: (1) After the user needs assessment, it was decided that information management of the water supply facilities including distribution pipes, valves, and leaking management are the most urgent tasks. So, the system was developed focusing on these tasks. (2) After the system design and development, the water supply facilities information system consists of graphic database management system, attribute database management system, internal interface that links graphic data and attribute data, and graphic user interface for user-friendliness. (3) The graphic data and the attribute data including distribution pipes, leading-pipes, valves, and parcels at the study area, Non-Hyun Dong Kang-Nam Gu in Seoul, were used in this system, and the water supply facilities database was established. It was applied to test these facilities, and proved that the system developed in this study is efficient to manage information within the scope of this study.

As of August 2005, there are 9,007 facilities for public primary, middle and high schools in Korea. But because of depopulation, hereafter it is expected to allocate much more budget and interest to utilizing the existing facilities reasonably rather than new buildings construction. At present the maintenance of educational facilities is depend on not a preventive but a post preservation. And there is no established maintenance organization and system, which causes both facility deterioration and squandering of the nation's resources. Thus the object of this paper is to examine a maintenance system of established public school facilities and to improve the system which is enable to maximize the efficiency for the existing maintenance organization.

In this study, the current status of the South Korean performance facilities was analyzed, and then the key tasks for the improvement of such facilities were identified. The study results show that the country's performance facilities are disproportionately concentrated in the Seoul region whereas the lack of performance facilities per unit area in the other regional provinces considerably lowers the accessibility of such facilities to the local residents. As part of the measures to solve such problems, this study proposed the development of a system that would enable the optimal placement of such performance facilities. It also proposed the development of another system that can simulate and suggest an optimal performance type for a given region because the ultimate goal of this study was to raise the utilization rate and financial self-reliance of the performance facilities in South Korea.

Recently, the welfare of the elderly and the disabled has been becoming more important. For this reason, many facilities to accommodate them are being constructed in government and public offices. However, the facilities are usually just installed without providing information to the elderly and the disabled. So they are still faced with many difficulties due to the insufficient information on these new facilities. In this study, we implemented the information system of facilities which provides information to the elderly and the disabled through web pages. The objective of this system is to provide visual information about facilities. This system uses web service technology for effective management of data. It is being offered in Incheon's local office. Also, we see a high level of system satisfaction via a survey.

Children's play facilities have changed over a decade from the traditional play facilities in the front yard to the new type of commercial play facilities which install more exciting and enjoyable facilities, such as Kids Park. The more diversified in the type of facilities, the more difficult in the safety management by the existing system. The 'Safety Management System of Children's Play Facilities' of MOSPA(Ministry of Security and Public Administration) has provided the safety information uni-directly by government sector to the private communities. Recently, multi-directional information sharing methods, such as community mapping are adopted actively in the social activities which have common purpose for making the better community by information sharing with government and private sector. On the purpose of citizen's participation for safe play facilities and preventing accidents, this study investigated the status of child accidents and safety standards, especially focused on the children's play facilities. And the way for sharing safety information among the communities with the GIS mapping skills is suggested in the respect of more easily monitoring and practically inputting the comments on the status of management of play facilities by real users based on their experiences. It is expected that more activities from the private sector would participate to the safety management of children's play facilities by realizing the suggested system.
