As commonly known, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, made up of approximately 35,000 engineers, is the premier public construction organization in the world. The Corps, the world-wide and unique organization, has the multi-functions like civil works projects, water resources management, environmental protection, disaster response as well as military construction. To meet national and military requirements , the Corps has developed various systems. As the key systems, the PMBP (Project Management Business Process) is an innovative way to solve increasingly complex problems and then to achieve the Corps’ vision.and Partnering system and Construction Quality Management for Contractor , developed by UASCE, also are the significant construction management tools in worldwide. Many Korean construction contractors have verified their high constructability in the overseas. On the contrary, they can’ t meet the customer’ s needs sufficiently in the country and the reason may be caused from the absence or inadequate project management system. Therefore, this article provides the overview of the USACE and partnering system and lays emphasis on the USACE’ s CQM system. The desirable way to meet the customer’ s needs in projects should be mainly aimed at systematic business process. Some future-oriented suggestions to improve the construction quality management conclude this article.

The Sustainable Water Resources Research Center (SWRRC) was established to manage water resources in an integrated manner and has been supported as a part of the 21st Frontier Research and Development Program by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and Ministry of Construction and Transportation since August 2001. The mission of the SWRRC is to cope with future water shortage problems through development and implementation of technologies of integrated water resources management. This mission ultimately aims at improving of living standards of human being, which is one of the major goals of the 21st Frontier Research and Development Program. The project is conducted by three phases. Duringthe first phase (2001. 8 ~ 2004. 6), the majority of funding is used for development of core and supporting technologies. In the second phase (2004. 7 ~ 2007. 6), with the core and supporting technologies financed continuously, the fund will be usedon different parts of studies in terms of sectors, subjects and integrated researches, and the rest of the fund (50%) will go toward implementation combined with business in the form of providing technologies. In the final phase (2007. 7 ~ 2011. 6), 30% of the fund will be used to integrate developed systems and 70% will be spent on implementation for selected areas to which newly developed technologies will be applied Project Management System for Water resources R&D is cost-effective and well fitted system by resolving many kind of problems facing such a large research and development program considering limited manager.

Evaluating a project is one of the key activities in managing projects, and thus it should be implemented as a part of the entire project management system. However, currently deployed systems suffer from deficiencies such as the lack of supporting distri

The study aims to contribute to the improvement of project management in Vietnam. It focuses on developing new critical success factors (CSFs) which can be used to assess the success of project management in the country. This is a promising issue considering the rapid changes occurring within the business environment. The reason is because CSFs carry great consequences on project management issues, particularly in the context of Vietnam, which is currently experiencing many big scale projects involving both local and foreign investors. Two applications are utilised. One is to adapt the business model of Belassi and Tukel (1996) to observe the transitional and emerging economy of Vietnam. The other is to examine the data collected from a survey to examine the new CSFs which can then be used to assess the success of its projects and project management in Vietnam. The research results showed some remarkable differences between CSFs of Vietnam and foreign countries in both number of success factors and its impact levels which should be paid attention by foreign project managers/owners when doing investment and project management in Vietnam. The outcome generated can be useful to project owners/managers as well as policy makers in Vietnam’s business environment.

미국프로젝트관리협회(Project Management Institute)에서는 리스크의 형태를 외부 리스크(External Risk)와 내부 리스크(Internal Risk)로 구분 하고 있다. 외부 리스크는 프로젝트에서 통제가 불가능한 리스크로 정책 및 관련제도 변화, 기후 및 자연재해, 환율 등이다. 내부 리스크는 사업 자체에 존재하는 리스크로, 프로젝트내부에서 통제가 가능한 항목들이다. 프로젝트 관리상의 기술적 위험은 비용, 품질, 시간, 안전, 환경이다. 따라서 건설프로젝트의성공적인 수행을 위해서는 외부 리스크와 내부 리스크를 모두 관리해야 하며, 특히 기술적 리스크 관 리를 통하여 시설물의 품질과 안전을 확보할 수 있다. 특히 다수의 시설물로 구성된 복합 시설물은 다수의 단위프로젝트로 구성되어 있고, 다 양한 참여주체 및 이해관계자간 갈등이 존재하기 때문에 잠재 리스크에 대한관리의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 리스크 관리의 부재는 사업 지 연 및 공사비 증가와 더불어 시설물의안전에도 부정적 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 복합 시설물의 안전성 확보를 위한 사업관리 측면의 리스크관 리 프로세스 구축 방안의 제시를 목적으로 수행하였다. 이를 위해 리스크 관리 프로세스의 구축 절차를 제시하고, 각 단계별 활용 가능한 리스 크 정보로서, 건설프로젝트에 내재된 리스크의 유형 및 요인, 그리고 대응 전략을 제시하였다.

그동안 백두산 화산재 피해에 대한 인식과 대비책 마련에 대한 연구가 진행되었지만 정보통신분야에 관한 관리기준과 매뉴얼의 연구는 부족하였다. 특히, 해외 사례와 비교해보면 화산분화재난에 대한 위험성이 낮다고 판단되어 세부적인 관리기준이 미약함을 알 수 있다. 따라서 화산분화로 발생한 화산재의 피해영향과 그에 따른 다각도의 대응방안의 연계가 미흡하고, 부처별 역할 및 업무도 개략적인 수준에서의 제시에 머물러 있다. 특히, 통신시설 분야는 미세먼지(황사/분진) 및 대설/폭우 등의 재난 시에도 통신서비스가 가능하도록 대비책이 강구되어 있으나, 화산재 재해에 대한 운용교육은 이루어지고 있지 않다. 그리하여, 부처별 역할 및 업무에 대한 구체적인 대응방안들을 제시하여 화산재의 낙하 및 확산 시에 신속하고 효율적인 대응 및 공조방안에 관한 관리기준을 제안하였다. 이에 본 연구는 화산재의 퇴적량과 수분함유량을 중심으로 정보통신시설부분의 관리기준을 수립하였다. 왜냐하면 아직까지 국내에 실재로 발생하지 않은 사례이며, 대응 기준의 퇴적량이 비나 바람에 의해 정보통신 시설에 균등하게 쌓이지 않기 때문에 최대치의 퇴적량과 습윤 등을 고려하여 제시하였다. 즉, 정보통신 시설 중에서 전송, 선로, 전원시설을 주요시설로 보고 관리기준을 화산재 피해정도(VAD, Volcanic Ash -Degree)에 따라 Ⅰ~Ⅳ단계로 구분하였으며, VADⅠ단계는 미미한 피해를 일으키는 단계, VADⅡ단계는 약한 피해를 일으키는 단계, VADⅢ단계는 심한 피해를 일으키는 단계, VADⅣ단계는 극심한 피해를 일으키는 단계로 구분하여 제시하였다. 다만, 본 연구가 제시한 관리기준은 실험값이 아니고 해외사례를 바탕으로 진행한 연구이기 때문에 퇴적량의 정량적 기준치 설정은 향후 지속적인 실험과 연구를 향후 과제로 남겨두었다.

Agriculture is not only sources, but also sinks of GHGs through removal or sequestration of carbon and methane. Therehave been many efforts around the world to improve agriculture’s ability to sequester GHGs and to seek ways for economicbenefits through the emissions reduction project. Specially, animal waste management system and biogas plants have beenuseful to environmental policies in agriculture sector.

Purpose – Appropriate project management knowledge as well as its effective application in the construction industry increase construction quality and, therefore, reduce fatalities and destruction. Research design, data, and methodology – This study was conducted through a comparative analysis of earthquake fatalities in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Haiti, Japan, and the United States of America. The data was analyzed using a frequency study. The analysis contrasts the fatalities of some of the strongest earthquakes around the world between 1960 and 2010. Results – Poor quality construction practices and a lack of effective application of project management knowledge play a major role in the vast destruction, high death toll, and dismal tragedies that are associated with earthquakes, especially in Iran. Conclusions – Despite the history of tragic earthquakes and their continuing recurrence, this study attempts to make governments, companies, and disaster management personnel aware of the dangers of poor quality construction and the deficient application of project management knowledge and, further, accentuates effective ways to prevent the probability of serious damage in future. This study contains valuable information on the effects of project management application towards reducing earthquake fatalities and destruction.

The existing standard cost of project management of empowerment sector in general rural development project has problems with standard cost system without considering characteristics of empowerment project and unclear division of works. These problems are a lot of trouble to fulfill the project. Thus, it needs an arrangement of standard cost considering detailed characteristics of project management in the empowerment sector. The contents and results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1) To set accurate standard cost, we carried out three-step processes, such as elicitation of standard works, calculation of workload and determination of standard cost. (1) In an investigation of 30 rural area dividing 8 parts about an workload of empowerment project, an average workload is 1,499 hours. (2) Based on this results, the standard cost is calculated at 15% of project cost in over 600 million won, at 28.75% of project cost in under 500 million won, by standards of empowerment project cost. 2) It set the responsibility management cost to 15% of empowerment project cost considering existing awareness, workload and work professionalism of project management. Based on the results, It suggested the practical use as basis for efficient management of the future empowerment projects. To achieve this, It needs to promote maximizing results on the whole project through the legalization processes including amendment of existing regulations.

This study verified for the necessity for the comprehensive analysis of outcomes resulting from the local industry promotion project in many respects. To analyze the operation planning for performance management of local industry promotion project, this study redesigns the so-called PDCA(Plan→Do→Check→Act) model which is also known as Deming Cycle and verifies some hypotheses. To accomplish study purposes, 169 response samples from 85 project groups which drive the local industry promotion project were verified using SPSS 12.0. The findings are as follows: First, there was a positive relationship between the planing phase and the implementation phase. Second, there was also a positive relationship between the implementation phase and completion of the project phase. Third, there was a positive relationship between the planing phase and completion of the project phase. Finally, the implementation phase was a partial mediator on the relationship between the planing phase and completion of the project phase. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of the research findings were discussed, and recommendations for future research were provided.

본 연구에서는 재해위험지구 정비사업의 질적 수준제고를 위하여 지금까지 수행된 재해위험지구 정비사업에 대해 비용대비 효과성을 분석했다. 최근의 재해이력을 고려하여 8개의 분석대상지구를 선정하였으며, 편익·비용비(B/C)를 사용하여 투자효과를 분석하였다. 해당지역의 과거재해이력을 활용하여 편익을 산정하였으며, 비용은 총사업비로 적용했다. 8개의 분석대상지구에 대한 분석결과는 피해규모, 할인율 등의 인자에 따라 다른 범위에서 B/C＞1을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 분석결과에 따르면 8개의 대상지구에 대한 평균 B/C는 1.78로 1이상을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 재해위험지구 정비사업으로 인한 투자효과성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Study of the background and state of Osaka's waterfront space development and analysis of the functions of 22 chosen major facilities of development project reveals the following four types: amenity-oriented development, large-scale synthesis type development, renewal compound area type development, exchange communication promotion type development. Osaka bay area has served primely as the base of harbors, industry and energy, while analysis of the ongoing project has found that the city has been making a functional transition to a type of development to live up to the needs of the times, suggesting that is wise that Korea's future direction of waterfront development be oriented toward environmental-friendly development by taking advantage of low-density area's natural resources. Given the plurality and complexity of the law of coastal zone, what is needed is a legal maintenance for coastal zone's clear-cut coordinating function and for environmental-friendly development with the limitations of seaside and coastal functions in mind.
