PURPOSES : Fine dust significantly affects the atmospheric environment, and various measures have been implement to reduce it. The aim of this study is to reduce fine dust on roads by implementing porous pavements and a clean road system using the low-impact development technique. METHODS : We conducted quality tests (draindown, cantabro loss rate, tensile strength ratio, dynamic stability, and indoor permeability coefficient tests) and performance evaluation (dynamic modulus and Hamburg wheel-tracking tests) on the porous asphalt mixture. Subsequently, we constructed a porous pavement road in a test bed and conducted a permeability test. In the test bed, we installed a nozzle, a water tank, and a fluid pump to water the roadside. After the clean road system was completely installed, we measured the concentration of fine dust before and after water was sprayed. Additionally, we conducted a total suspended solids (TSS) test to confirm the reduction in re-suspended dust. RESULTS : All results from the quality test of the porous asphalt mixture satisfy the standards stipulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Results from the dynamic modulus test show a low plastic deformation resistance but a high fatigue crack resistance. The results from the Hamburg wheel-tracking test satisfy the U.S. Department of Transportation standards. After the porous pavement was constructed, a permeability test was conducted, and the result satisfies the standard value. Using a particle counter, we measured the concentration of fine dust before and after water spraying, and results show 12.08% and 10.23% for PM10 and PM2.5 particles, respectively. The results from the TSS test show that after the initial water spray, almost all re-suspended dust are removed from a road. In unfavorable road conditions, almost all re-suspended dust are removed after a second water spray. CONCLUSIONS : The results of all of quality tests performed on a porous asphalt mixture satisfy the standards. By applying the results to a test bed, the problem of securing water is solved. Using the clean road system, 12.08% and 10.23% of PM10 and PM2.5 particles are removed, respectively. The system removes PM10 particles (larger particles) more effectively compared with PM2.5 particles. IN the future, we plan to revise the maintenance plan such that the porous pavement can exhibit long-term performance. Because pipe freezing may occur in the winter, we plan to analyze the periodic maintenance plan of the porous pavement and develop a solution to mitigate the issue of freezing pipes in the winter.

The paper introduces an experimental program for the newly developed vertical joints between Precast Concrete (PC) walls to improve their in-plane shear capacity. Compared to the existing vertical joints, two types of vertical joints were developed by increasing the transverse reinforcement ratio and improving frictional force at the joint interface. A total of four specimens including the Reinforced Concrete (RC) wall and PC walls with developed vertical joints were designed and constructed. The constructed specimens were experimentally investigated through monotonic shear tests. The observed damage, load-deformation relationship, strain and strength are investigated and compared with the cases of RC wall specimen. Experimental results indicate that the maximum force and initial stiffness of the PC wall with proposed vertical joints were decreased by comparing with those of RC wall. However, the ultimate displacement increased by up to 217.30% compared to the RC wall specimen. In addition, brittle failure did not occurred and relatively few cracks and damages occurred.

In terms of habitat conservation, it is essential to develop a habitat assessment system that can evaluate not only the suitability of the current habitat, but also the health and stability of the habitat. This study aimed to develop a methodology of habitat quality assessment for endangered species by analyzing various existing habitat assessment methods. The habitat quality assessment consisted of selecting targeted species, planning of assessment, selecting targeted sites, assessing performance, calculating grade, and expert verification. Target sites were selected separately from core and potential habitats using a species distribution model or habitat suitability index. Habitat assessment factors were classified into ecological characteristic, landscape characteristic, and species-habitat characteristic. Ecological characteristic consisted of thirteen factors related to health of tree, vegetation, and soil. Landscape characteristic consisted of five factors related to fragment and connectivity of habitat. Species-habitat characteristic consisted of factors for evaluating habitat suitability depending on target species. Since meanings are different depending on characteristics, habitat quality assessment of this study could be used by classifying results for each characteristic according to various assessment purposes, such as designation of alternative habitats, assessment of restoration project, and protected area valuation for endangered species. Forest habitat quality assessment is expected to play an important role in conservation acts of endangered species in the future through continuous supplementation of this system in regard to quantitative assessment criteria and weighting for each factor with an influence.

DEA(data envelopment analysis) is a technique for evaluation of relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple input and output. A DEA model measures the efficiency of a DMU by the relative position of the DMU’s input and output in the production possibility set defined by the input and output of the DMUs being compared. In this paper, we proposed several DEA models measuring the multi-period efficiency of a DMU. First, we defined the input and output data that make a production possibility set as the spanning set. We proposed several spanning sets containing input and output of entire periods for measuring the multi-period efficiency of a DMU. We defined the production possibility sets with the proposed spanning sets and gave DEA models under the production possibility sets. Some models measure the efficiency score of each period of a DMU and others measure the integrated efficiency score of the DMU over the entire period. For the test, we applied the models to the sample data set from a long term university student training project. The results show that the suggested models may have the better discrimination power than CCR based results while the ranking of DMUs is not different.

최근 국가연구개발의 집행예산은 증가 추세에 있고, 이에 따라 국가연구개발 사업의 양적 성과 또한 증가하고 있으나, 질적 성과의 증가세는 양적 성과 대비 취약한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특허등급 및 기술이전효율성이 낮은 기술 등 질적 성과 부진의 원인으로 ‘건 수’ 위주의 성과평가에 대한 개선 필요성이 제기되고 있으며, 이에 대한 대응으로 다양한 ‘질적 성과지표’를 이용한 성과평가가 도입되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 질적 성과지표 중 주요국 (미국, 유럽, 일본) 특허청에 모두 출원하여 특허의 해외경쟁력을 측정할 수 있는 ‘삼극특허’ 창출 과제를 대상으로 연구개발사업의 질적성과 평가를 위한 성과지표로서 삼극특허에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과, R&D규모 요인 및 과제특성 요인 중 일부는 삼극특허 창출에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 성과분석 측면에서 선행 연구가 상대적으로 미진한 삼극특허를 관심대상으로 확장하고, 삼극특허 창출의 영향요인을 선형회귀분석(OLS)을 통해 살펴본 초기연구라는 점에서 의의가 있다.

해양사고의 감소를 위하여 국제해사기구(IMO) 체약국 정부에서 IMO 협약 및 규정에 대한 이행은 필수적이다. IMO 협약이행코 드(III Code)에서는 각 주관청에게 협약이행을 주기적으로 점검 및 평가하여 개선하는 체계를 갖추도록 요구하고 있으며 성과지표를 평가방 법에 포함하도록 요구하고 있음에 따라 회원국은 자국의 협약이행 평가를 위한 성과지표를 개발할 필요가 있다. 이에, 본 논문의 목적은 주관청의 협약이행 수준을 계량화하여 평가할 수 있도록 대표적인 평가측정 기법인 균형성과표(BSC) 및 핵심성과지표(KPI)를 활용한 평가 모델을 개발하여 제시하는 것이다. 논문의 결과로서, III Code 요건에 BSC 개념을 적용한 III-BSC 관점에서 수립된 비전의 달성을 위해 반드 시 확보해야 하는 핵심성공요인(CSF)을 도출하고, 도출된 CSF를 측정할 수 있도록 평가영역별 후보 KPI를 개발하여 4계층의 초기 연구모형 을 설계하였으며, SMART 기법을 활용한 조사설계를 통해 KPI의 타당성을 검증하여 연구모형을 완성하였다. 또한, 개발한 연구모형을 기반 으로 AHP 분석을 통해 각 계층별 요소의 가중치를 도출하여 BSC 기반 IMO 협약이행에 대한 평가모델을 개발하여 제시하였다. 개발된 평 가모델이 정량적으로 IMO 협약이행 수준을 파악하는 도구로 활용될 수 있으며, 이를 통해 IMO 회원국들의 협약이행 수준 개선에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
