This research focuses on the condition of the coveralls that automobile maintenance workers wear. The objective of this survey is to conduct a thorough analysis on the quality of the coveralls and put forth suggestions for improving their quality. The research data were collected through interviews and the results are as follows. The participants in this research engage in a variety of types of maintenance work including oil changes and overall system checks and they usually wear extra-large-sized coveralls. The coveralls are generally worn during the winter for warmth and the company handles all purchasing and maintenance of the work clothes. Participants mentioned that certain parts of the clothes where they bend and stretch are cumbersome and areas around the knees and arms become easily tainted. They have also reported that although the coveralls are necessary, they are for the most part dissatisfied when it comes to the materials, design, and color. The participants have suggested that new coveralls would help to increase their work efficiency. As a result, it is concluded that the coveralls require much more development to meet the workers’ needs and improvements need to be made on the functionality, aesthetics, and symbolic aspects of the design.

본 연구는 농가들의 온실 유지관리 실태를 알아보기 위해서 국내에 보급되어 있는 온실에 대해 전국을 대상으로 온실규격, 자연재해 예방 및 피해상황, 온실 구조재, 온실 피복재 등에 관한 실태를 조사하여 자료를 분석하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 온실의 규격의 경우, 길이는 단동 및 연동 온실 모두 90m이상이 가장 많았다. 폭은 단동온실 및 연동 온실이 각각 8m이 상 및 7.0~7.9m, 측고 1.5~1.9m 및 2.0~2.9m, 동고 3.0~3.9m 및 6m가 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 내재해형 온실을 조사한 결과 농가에서 내재 해형 온실 설치를 기피하는 것으로 조사되었다. 온실의 자연재해 피해는 대설 보다 태풍에 대한 피해를 많이 받는 것으로 조사되었다. 자연재해 예보 시 점검사항의 경우, 태풍 예보가 있을 때에는 천창, 측창, 출입문 및 피복재 고정밴드를 주로 점검하며, 대설 예보가 있을 때에는 난방기를 주로 점검하는 것으로 나타났다. 온실파 이프에 부식이 발생 시 보수방법은 도색 보다는 부분적 인 교체를 많이 하고, 자연재해 예방을 위한 구조물의 보강재를 대부분 사용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 온실 피복재의 유지관리는 대부분의 농가에서 피복재 밀폐성을 점검하는 것으로 나타났지만, 광 투과를 위한 피복재의 청소는 대부분 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 태풍시 온실 피복재를 제거하면 구조재 파괴를 막을 수 있는데 그렇게 못하는 이유는 피복재의 교체비용, 재배작물 때문인 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 온실농가에서 화재예방을 위한 소방설비 구비 여부에 대해 조사한 결과, 온실의 화재예방 인식이 많이 부족한 것으로 나타났다.

Gardens are known to provide relaxation, including psychological stability and mental rest. Recently, social interest in gardens has been growing in various ways, including the increase of groups sensitive to environmental pollution and a rising interest in the overall management of natural resources. In reality, however, the owners of housing gardens lack fundamental knowledge for creating and maintaining the gardens, directly and indirectly. This limitation presents a number of problems and challenges. Therefore, this study conducted an analysis of various aspects relating to the creation and maintenance of housing gardens, reflecting the sense of ownership. The study aimed to examine the current status, and based on this, it was intended to present improvement measures for practical and efficient creation of housing gardens and their maintenance in the future.

In 2001, about 20 years after the introduction of the standard buoys, the natural environment and maritime traffic flow changes in the waters near Korea and the necessity of improvement of the AtoN (Aids to Navigation) maintenance was suggested. The IALA provides guidelines for maintenance and management of AtoN, and Korea provides guidelines for the management and operation of standard buoys by means of the Enforcement on the AtoN laws. The objective of this study was to investigate the installation status and the repair status of the standard type buoys by sea area in order to improve the management and operation of the steel standard buoys. In addition, a survey was conducted on the improvement of the steel buoy fouling and the improvement of the lifting inspection cycle towards on the AtoN managers and producers of the representative authority by sea area. In the case of LL-26 (M) buoy type, the standard type buoy installation status of Korea in 2017 was 57.1%, and the LL-26 (M) type was 58.9% showing the highest repair rate. According to the results of the survey on buoys fouling, 51.2% were caused by the attachment of shellfish, and 43.2% were caused by bird feces. The results of the survey on the improvement of the regular buoy inspection cycle showed that the measures are to maintain the current inspection period of 2 years regardless of the characteristics of the sea area (water depth, inside and outside port, buoy size, etc.).

A strategy is needed for a regional survey of geosynchronous orbits (GSOs) to monitor known space objects and detect uncataloged space objects. On the basis of the Inter-Agency Debris Committee’s recommendation regarding the protected region of geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), target satellites with perigee and apogee of GEO ± 200 km and various inclinations are selected for analysis. The status of the GSO region was analyzed using the satellite distribution based on the orbital characteristics in publicly available two-line element data. Natural perturbation effects cause inactive satellites to drift to two stable longitudinal points. Active satellites usually maintain the designed positions as a result of regular or irregular maneuver operations against their natural drift. To analyze the detection rate of a single optical telescope, 152 out of 412 active satellites and 135 out of 288 inactive satellites in the GSO region were selected on the basis of their visibility at the observation site in Daejeon, Korea. By using various vertical view ranges and various numbers of observations of the GSO region, the detection efficiencies were analyzed for a single night, and the numbers of follow-up observations were determined. The orbital estimation accuracies were also checked using the arc length and number of observed data points to maintain the GSO satellite catalog.

In this study, periodical configuration survey is carried out on the subject of the suspension bridge in service. Its reliability and structural modeling validity are performed by comparison and analysis of interpretation value through the structural analysis.

Recently, Large Diameter Shield TBM method is being adapted to several domestic construction sites. Therefore, it is really necessary for the maintenance technology about long-term serviceability and durability of shield tunnel. In this paper, it would arrange the basis for reasonable evaluation of tunnel by the data analyzing through the site investigation concerning the crack and leakage which can occur by the maintenance of domestic large diameter shield TBM method.

The Direct Payment Program for Rural Landscape Conservation (DPPRLC), introduced by the Korean government, currently offers subsidies to rural villages to encourage the growing of flower crops or wild flowers instead of common grain. However, in many of these villages, major landscape elements like walls and roofs of houses are built with cheap, urban materials, and kept in poor condition. This is a poor reflection of the DPPRLC goal to improve the aesthetic of korean rural landscape. This study surveyed and analyzed traditional style walls and roofs in ten selected villages taking part in the DPPRLC program. Villagers were interviewed for a proposed direct payment program for building and maintaining traditional walls and roofs. Major findings are: First, more than 86% of residents are willing to build and maintain traditional walls if subsidies are given. They would like to be reimbursed 75% to 100% of construction and maintenance costs. Second, about 64% of residents would be willing to build and maintain traditional roofs with the subsidies. They also would like to receive 75% to 100% of construction and maintenance costs. The policy implication of this study is that extending the DPPRLC program to include walls and roofs in rural villages will make rural landscape more attractive.
