In the past decade, Pine & Gilmore set out the vision for a new economic era, the experience economy, in which consumers are in search for extraordinary and memorable experiences. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among walking tourist's experiences, walking tourist satisfaction and revisit intention as the social interest on walking tour has risen. A total of 250 respondents completed a survey. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, the results reveal the effects of Esthetics(indulged in environments) and Escapism(diverging to a new self) that impact on walking tourist satisfaction and on revisit intention indirectly. Overall, finding of this study enhance the theoretical progress on the experiential concept in walking tour and offer important implication for walking tour marketers.

OECD(2008) gives the concepts of inaction costs on key environmental challenges including: direct financial costs; total financial costs; total use costs; and total social welfare costs. In analyzing the losses of environmental goods' various values conducted by domestic and foreign researchers, this study suggests the value-cost category of OECD(2008) and other studies; and the indirect use and non-use values of groundwater and other natural environment using the concepts of inaction costs. The studies on the damages and their relationships among human, property, and ecosystem are essential to monetary valuation on the qualitative or quantitative degradation of groundwater and other natural environment.

This study explores the concepts and programs of 'makerspaces' at public libraries. It examines the extended and sustainable service outreach strategies of 14 Korean public libraries whose makerspaces were identified as "infinite imagination spaces." Through interviews with staff members, the study identifies the needs, effects, limitations, and future direction of makerspaces. The study also evaluates the development, types, funding sources, and outcomes of makerspaces in public libraries through related literature reviews and case studies. The study's findings suggest that strategies with stable and varied funding, staffing, and training are crucial to fostering makerspaces that not only become communal gathering spots, but also become gateways to technological tinkering that 'make' spaces for community archives.

Generally, the water resources in South Korea were supplied from river flow and dam. Among them, the dam is the most important supplier for the residential and industrial water. However, the climate change has caused a setback in water supply chain. The objective of the study is therefore to suggest a drought index consideing dam water shortage for efficiently dam and water resources management. The standardzied balanced index(SBI), which has same concept with the standardzied precipitation index, were suggested. Also, the management index for the dam were established with SSVI and the storage percentage that compared to previous years.

In this study, the concept of emotional labor and AI(appreciative inquiry) are connected to examine how acceptance of AI, which is related to changes in hospital organizational culture, affects nurses' emotional labor, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. For this purpose, the data collected from 156 nurses working at a major hospital were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings of this study are as follows: First, nurses' acceptance of AI had a significant positive effect on deep acting but not on surface acting. Second, deep acting had a significant positive effect on organizational commitment, but surface acting did not. Third, nurses' organizational commitment had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction. Fourth, deep acting significantly mediated the relationship between nurses' acceptance of AI and organizational commitment, but surface acting did not. Fifth, deep acting and organizational commitment significantly mediated the relationship between nurses' acceptance of AI and job satisfaction, but surface acting and organizational commitment did not. Theoretical and practical implications are provided based on the relationships between the variables found in this study.

When a extreme loading such as blast is applied to prestressed concrete (PSC) structures and infrastructures for an instantaneous time, serious property damages and human casualties occur. However, a existing design procedure for PSC structures such as prestressed containment vessel (PCCV) and gas storage tank do not consider a protective design for extreme internal blast scenario. Particularly, an internal blast is much more dangerous than that of external blast. Therefore, verification of the internal blast loading is required. In this paper, the internal blast resistance capacity of PSC member is evaluated by performing internal blast tests on RC and bi-directional PSC scaled down specimens. The applied internal blast loads were 22.68, 27.22, and 31.75 kg (50, 60, and 70 lbs) ANFO explosive charge at 1,000 mm standoff distance. The data acquisitions include blast pressure, deflection, strain, crack patterns, and prestressing force. The test results showed that it is possible to predict the damage area to the structure when internal blast loading occurs in PCCV structures.

Business stakeholders have shown huge interests on the way how to increase business value by integrating real world businesses with a rising metaverse concept. To understanding the utility of metaverse regarding digital transformation, this study conducted a qualitative study based on a metaverse framework from 2006 Metaverse Roadmap and reference theories on business models. Specifically, a multiple comparative case approach was adopted to investigate three metaverse application cases from 2000 to 2020. From findings, it was revealed that different metaverse features were tried to leverage traditional simulation games, social communities, and virtual communication activities to build business models. Secondly, the use of metaverse features were likely to be helpful in getting competitive advantages. However, we are also aware that stakeholder credibility should be carefully managed to sustain businesses.

Korean government has developed the 1st version of the National ITS Architecture in 1999 and utilized it as the framework for ITS planning, design, and standardization. The National Architecture now needs to be revised to accommodate environmental changes in ITS market and advancement of ITS core technologies. This study evaluates the current version of the architecture and suggests the directions for revision for a new national ITS architecture. The two most popular methodologies for architecture development-the process-oriented approach and the object-oriented approach-were reviewed, and the process-oriented approach was selected for new architecture development. The concept of the national architecture was then newly defined based on evaluation of the existing architecture. The new National ITS Architecture is suggested to be composed of ITS user services, logical architecture, physical architecture, and project architecture. This study must be followed by actual architecture development efforts and supporting policy actions for successful deployment of the new National ITS Architecture.

홍수빈도분석의 실용적 측면의 목적은 특정 재현기간에 대하여 발생 가능한 홍수량을 설계홍수량(design flood)으로 설정함으로써 댐, 제방, 배수시설, 하수관거 등의 치수기능을 가진 치수시설물이 설계홍수량 내에서 홍수로 인한 피해를 발생시키지 않도록 그 규모와 기능을 설계함에 있다. 특히 우리나라의 경우 유량자료의 부족으로 강우빈도분석을 수행하여 재현기간별 확률강우량을 먼저 산정하고 이를 강우-유출모형을 통해 확률홍수량으로 전환한 뒤 하천등급에 따른 재현기간 기준에 따라 설계홍수량을 산정하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같이 결정된 설계홍수량이 특정유역에서 발생될 수 있는 피해규모에 대해 얼마나 적정한 지의 여부를 과학적으로 판단하기 위한 연구는 국내·외에서 찾아보기 어려우며, 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위한 기초 이론을 제공하는 것이 본 연구의 가장 중요한 목표이다. 홍수빈도분석을 통해 산정된 설계홍수량의 적정성 여부를 과학적으로 판단하기 위해 최근에 진행된 해외의 몇몇 연구에서는 총 기대비용함수(total expected cost function)의 개발에 근거한 최적설계홍수량을 활용할 수 있음을 제안한 바 있다. 이 개념은 계획된 설계홍수량 이상에서 발생될 수 있는 피해함수(damage function) 및 기대피해함수(expected damage function)와 비용함수(cost function)가 결정되면, 이로부터 총 비용을 나타내는 총 기대비용함수(total expected cost function)을 도출하고 총 기대비용함수가 최소가 되는 최적설계홍수량(optimal design flood)을 산정하여 이를 계획된 설계홍수량(tentative design flood) 비교함으로써 계획된 설계홍수량의 적정성을 판단하는 과정을 기초이론으로 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 불확실성으로 발생되는 범위를 고려한 최적설계홍수량을 산정하기 위하여 Metropolis-Hastings 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, 자료의 종류에 따른 홍수량의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 년최대계열 및 부분시계열 자료를 각각 적용하였다. 한강유역에서 가평대성, 여주 및 한강대교 수위표 지점에서 측정된 자동관측유량장치에 의한 홍수량 자료를 활용하였으며, 최적설계홍수량이 기존 설계홍수량에 비해 크게 산정됨을 알 수 있었다.

The methods of physical oceanographic surveys to examine the effect of thermal discharge from nuclear power plants in Korea have been reviewed and a standard guide to the survey is proposed. It is desirable that in situ observation and numerical thermal diffusion modeling are conducted simultaneously to describe the variation in temperature distribution affected by thermal discharge from a power plant because any observation or numerical modeling alone has limits to do so quantitatively. It is suggested that the field observation must be based on the concept of heat budget modeling considering all artificial and natural heat sources/sinks around the power plant. Any results from numerical modeling must reach to a certain statistical significance level to use for a standard temperature distribution. In addition, the development of standard numerical codes is proposed to improve the problems shown in the past numerical circulation and diffusion modelling.
