The cruise tourism industry is viewed as a promising growth industry in the 21st century. But legislative framework to allow the cruise tourism industry to develop in China have not yet been fully prepared. Therefore, this study is intended to propose a industry policy for Chinese cruise tourism industry. The policies that Chinese central government implements that should drive growth for development of the cruise tourism industry are as follows: First, government must establish industry policy to slow cruise infrastructure construction. second, government must improve industry policy for attracting visits by cruise vessels. Third, the government must take steps to support cruise product development. Fourth, the government must take steps to support cruise business and social groups. Last, government must intensify the out abroad tourist screening system and cruise casino management.

The Gwangalli Beach, one of beaches representative of Busan together with the Haeundae Beach, is a tourist attraction, having increased tourists since the completion of Gwangandaero Bridge in 2003 and recording more than 10 million tourists in 2006. Although the competent local government office has conducted artificial beach nourishment/gravel removal projects every year to manage it, systematic monitoring and studies of erosion are insufficient. This study analyzed the changes in the coastline of Gwangalli Beach using aerial photos, tidal data, GPS survey data for the last sixty years, and examined how the Gwangandaero Bridge, which had been constructed on the Gwanganlli sea, has affected the changes. The results show that the area of Gwangalli Beach has increased 40% for the last sixty years, and that the effects of Gwangandaero Bridge on the coastline are insignificant.

기후변화로 인한 강우강도의 변화와 국지성 호우로 인한 유역의 수문량의 증가가 전망되고 있는 상황에서 댐 시설물의 고령화에 따른 댐 안전성 문제가 대두되고 있으며, 신규댐 건설보다는 기존 댐의 재개발의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 기후변화로 인한 집중호우의 강도와 발생빈도의 증가, 태풍의 대형화 등으로 댐으로 유입되는 수문량의 변동폭이 커짐에 따라서 극심한 홍수 및 가뭄의 발생이 빈번하게 일어나고 있어 물관리 어려움이 가중되고 있으며 이에 대한 대비책 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 그러나 아직까지 국내에서는 기후변화에 대한 영향을 고려한 댐 재개발에 대한 연구는 미흡한 상태이며, 기후변화와 신규 수자원 개발사업의 정체, 댐 시설물의 노후화 등 제반여건을 고려할 때 기존 댐 시설물 재개발의 전면적 재검토가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화의 영향과 댐 시설물의 고령화 등에 따른 복합적인 댐 안전성 문제 등에 대비하기 위하여 댐 재개발 평가항목을 개발하였으며, 국내외 사례 및 문헌조사, 그리고 전문가 자문을 통해 각 평가항목에 대한 타당성 및 적합성 검토를 실시하고, 각 세부지표에 대한 평가기준과 댐 관련 분야의 전문도를 고려한 상대적 중요도 평가방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Under increased complexity and uncertainty of overseas construction projects, it is important for construction companies to improve their own project risk management capabilities instead of risk-taking strategies to secure competitiveness in the overseas construction market. Although most of the risks occur in project execution stage, many previous studies focused on planning stage including risk identification and analysis among PRM process. Therefore, this study aims to verify the effectiveness of whole PRM process during project execution stage through empirical study on participants of overseas construction projects. As the result it was found that first, the factor directly affects the project success is the execution process of PRM. It implies that appropriate actions such as appointing charged manager for risks, timely implementation of responding plan, continuous risk monitoring and updating established plan are the key for contribution to the project success. Second, the importance of communication in PRM is also found, which is not conducted at a specific but throughout the entire PRM process and need to be managed as essential factor for successful PRM..

It is important to manage the underground facilities efficiently because they are directly related to the convenience and safety of citizens. But the fact that the different agencies take on a role of managing the underground facilities respectively makes it impossible. So Korean government has exerted great efforts to solve this problem through several projects. Korean government expects that the ubiquitous technologies such as sensor and wireless communication in the domain of the underground facilities management will be useful. It is main duty of u-City Management Center to monitor several situations about the underground facilities using ubiquitous technologies. But there is no consensus about what concrete situations it has to monitor even though u-cities under construction. Because local governments or related companies are in charge of carrying out these roles yet, there is no legal basis on which to do these tasks by the center. And it is needed to develop new technologies for u-services efficiently. Because technologies for u-service are vast, various and converged, so it necessary to develop them according to priority or in cooperation with other developers. In this paper, we classify the monitoring items for each facility which were investigated by a recent research. It is expected to make use of defining the role of the center and developing technologies with u-service.

The current status of local road pavement management in Jeollabuk-do only relies on the accomplishments of the site construction company's pavement repair and is only managed through Microsoft Excel and word documents. Furthermore, the budget is irregular each year. Accordingly, a systematic maintenance plan for local roads is necessary. In this paper, data related to road damage and road environment were collected and processed to derive possible areas which could suffer from road damage. The effectiveness of the methodology was reviewed through the on-site inspection of the area. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, in 2018, the number of damages on general national roads were about 47,000. In 2019, it reached around 38,000. Furthermore, the number of lawsuits regarding the road damages were about 93 in 2018 and it increased to 119 in 2019. In the case of national roads, the number of damages decreased compared to 2018 due to pavement repairs. To measure the priorities in maintenance of local roads at Jeollabuk-do, data on maintenance history, local port hole occurrence site, overlapping business section, and emergency maintenance section were transformed into data. Eventually, it led to improvements in maintenance of local roads. Furthermore, spatial data were constructed using various current status data related to roads, and finally the data was processed into a new form that could be utilized in machine learning and predictions. Using the spatial data, areas requiring maintenance on pavement were predicted and the results were used to establish new budgets and policies on road management.

For the last decade the amount of waste has rapidly been increased in South Korea and many waste landfills have been built according to government guidelines specifying required systems such as landfill liner, leachate collecting facilities, final cover system, etc. This effort has led the recently constructed landfills to be under well managed sanitary condition. In a meanwhile closed waste-landfill sites in the past before the adoption of the government guidelines exits under unsanitary condition. In these cases untreated leachate flew out to the surroundings due to the absence of liner and leachate collecting facilities and caused groundwater and soils to be contaminated. Waste generated odor and gas also brought civil complaints. Because environmental influences bring serious problems nearby sites, it is required to have unsanitary waste-landfills to be appropriately treated and managed. A study to evaluate environmental influence and contamination level of surroundings nearby and on the unsanitary landfills is necessary before the establishment of "Management guide of closed landfill site." This paper presents an environmental evaluation for the closed site, Doil-dong landfill, according to "Closed landfill management regulation" by Ministry of Environment. "D" landfill, located in Pyeongtaek city, has possobility to contaminate surrounding surfacewater and groundwater by leakage of leachate. The in-situ stabilization carried out to build the DMW(deep soil mixing cutoff wall) wall and drainage systems.

It is generally acknowledged that subcontractors mostly allocate their resources to project relying on their previous experiences, instead of data-based judgement. Installing residential fire protection systems, typically performed by subcontractors, is labor-intensive job and its schedule is frequently changed as the contractor master schedule is often revised. Nevertheless, it is still important for subcontractors to make much effort to improve labor productivity through a thorough planning for scheduling and resource allocation. The purpose of this study is to identify significant factors that affect labor productivity for residential fire protection system installation. For this purpose, 50 potential factors that may affect productivity were identified based on literature reviews and expert interviews. These factors were further explored using correlation analysis and ANOVA test. The results showed that the labor productivity is significant impacted by various project characteristics.

The number of construction management firms has been increased as construction management delivery system has been active in Korean construction market. the capability of leading construction management professional, who is responsible for managing project administration, is important for commissioning construction management contracts. The quality of project proposal and the capability of leading construction management professional, which are assessed by the board of contract awarding committee, are the major contributors for commissioning the public construction management projects administered by the Korean public procurement service for contracting. Therefore, employing a very competent leading construction management professional is the critical strategy for awarding contract to the construction management firms' part. That is why the firms should secure a fixed number of leading construction management professional in a waiting list to proceed the contract commissioning process for expectant candidate projects, even if there is no project assignable to the leading construction management professionals. However, a measure that makes effectively use of the leading construction management professional in a waiting list has not been systematically implemented in the firms. In turn, the firm suffers considerable loss in a project personnel supply and demand plan. Expert opinions were obtained by the survey questionaries administered to top management of the construction management firms which are engaged in the construction management contracts for commissioning the public construction management projects administered by the Korean public procurement service either as principal or co-principal deliverer. This paper presents the findings obtained by investigating the actual employment state of the leading construction management professional in the waiting list and by analyzing the issues involved in mobilizing and demobilizing them. It contributes to implement a practical guide for searching effective solutions to the issues.

For deciding the owner's budget of the building construction in the predesign stage, the probabilistic methodologies for estimating the cost are often studied, however these parameter-based conceptual estimating methodology has limitation of applying it to the practical business because it hardly can link the design decision-making and the cost estimating and control. Besides if the result of detail estimating after detail design is over the budget, locally and arbitrarily control the level of interior design and fix the design. This research proposed the prototype-based cost estimating model for building interior construction which leads to estimate the interior cost easily linking with design decision-making and supports to evaluate the design alternatives in the schematic design and the design development stage for office buildings. The model divides the building on the design process by Element Breakdown Structure and presents the design alternative by selecting the elements of each room from the database accumulated the historical office buildings' prototypes and estimates the cost. The 2 case studies presented to validate the effectiveness of as the linking tool integrating the design and construction data and applicability to the practical design on the presented prototype-based model.
