A road construction project needs a large scale of investment and tine. In this study, we will review some elements of feasibility analysis and derive points of the existing analyses. And we make some suggestions to improve the existing methods. We propose a 'A Feasibility Information System' for road construction projects. The system will be useful to make a feasibility study for road construction project and help us to predict risks in process of the projects.

건설 프로젝트 단계별로 생산되는 다양하고 방대한 정보에 대한 효율적인 관리와 정보의 상호 교환 및 공유는 건설 산업의 생산성을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. 최근 건설 정보 통합에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 기획, 설계, 시공, 유지보수 등의 프로세스 및 엔지니어링 어플리케이션 간의 정보 통합에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만 BIM(Building Information Model)과 같은 정보 모델을 활용하여 정보를 통합 관리하는 것에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 건축 분야에 집중적으로 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 토목 분야에서 프로젝트 정보의 통합적인 관리와 업무 프로세스 별 엔지니어링 어플리케이션 간의 교환 및 공유를 위한 통합관리 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 토목 프로젝트 통합 관리 시스템 구축을 위하여 토목 프로젝트 정보를 담을 수 있는 정보 모델을 설계하고, 토목 구조물 가운데 교량을 대상으로 하는 토목 프로젝트를 정보 모델에 적용해 보았다.

Public-Private-Partnership(PPP) is becoming a popular form of projects in construction industry worldwide. Normally, the management team of PPP project consists of various experts from different disciplines such as construction engineer, bank financier, contract manager, investors, etc. The diversity of team members causes difficulties in managing the team efficiently and furthermore for the smooth execution of the project itself. One of the solutions to this issue might be the application of citizenship behavior by the team members. This study conducts an empirical investigation of the effect of project citizenship behavior on the project performance. We have collected data by using a questionnaire from those with PPP project experiences in the domestic construction industry. The results show that project citizenship behavior has full mediating effects between PM's leadership and the project performance. This study has an academic significance in that it is the first attempt to apply the concept and to show the effect of citizenship behavior in project management discipline, particularly in construction industry, in Korea. We also expect that the project management teams for PPP projects would benefit from the findings of this study.

A construction firm's performance is largely attributable to performance in individual projects. In this regard, the awarding of an individual project has significant implications. However, project awards have received limited attention in the construction sector from amarket assessment perspective. This event study focuses on an analysis of market responses at the time of project awarding. A total of 252 samples wereselected through a rigorous sample screening processes. Performance was measured as cumulative abnormal return, which is traditionally adopted in event analysis. Research results indicated that the overall return is positive, and that the level isstatistically significant. Equity holders realized a higher return for projects awarded from the foreign countries compared to domestic projects. No relationship was observed between project size and the level of return. Other research findings and implications were discussed in detail from a management perspective.

The minor construction companies in Korea have grown in focusing on the construction operation field. Also, soft field is vulnerable area, and there are not enough delivery systems, therefore, a capacity of the construction industry expansion and productivity is insufficient. Furthermore, the minor construction companies are losing their areas, because the major construction companies having numerous know-how and ample funds are competitive. As the construction industry are more larger and complicated, the design build methods might be increased in the construction industry and the minor construction companies could have more competitive. Hence, this paper analyzes the success factor in minor construction projects by design build methods focusing on instance $company^{\circ}{\phi}s$ case and survey, and critical success factor deduction and importance degree analysis of this factor using AHP analysis. In addition, this paper gives fundamental data how to manage the construction project effectively for minor construction $companies^{\circ}{\phi}s$ expansion in near future.

Construction clients are the key player in that they initiate construction projects and are in a position to influence the efficiency and productivity of the projects. Construction projects by nature require team-working so clients's leadership is the crux of project success. The objective of this paper is to suggest characteristics of construction clients' leadership in terms of best practice based on the analysis of project success cases. Four key elements of construction clients' leadership are identified and best practice from the case studies were related to the elements.

Nuritkum Square Project is a IT Complex which is being constructed in Digital Media City. The project consists of several buildings and is a Design-build, so that the systematic construction management from design to construction stage is more important for a successful project. This study introduces the practical tasks of construction management during the project and analyze some of main tasks to increase understanding construction management in the design-build project. Based on experience of construction management in this project, we examine managerial problems which frequently occur in this kind of project, and suggest how to improve construction management in Korea.

Collaborative processes among team members including communication, coordination, and information-handling processes either during pre-construction or project execution are required in order to accomplish the objectives of construction projects. However, current construction management practice does not explicitly take the effect of organizational aspects on project performance into account. This paper introduces a method to understand collaborative processes in an explicit and systematic fashion. An agent-based simulation of collaborative working processes within construction project teams was designed from game theory perspective and implemented. The simulation produced both individual behavior and network dynamics. Individuals represented as agents made efforts to improve performance by communication and coordinating with other members, and overall team network was emerged as a result of interactions among members. Interestingly, it was found that the tendency of forming cohesive subgroups increased when sustaining relations with between-group partners incurs higher cost. The primary contribution of this paper is that it presented an explicit approach to examining collaborative working processes in construction project teams and it extended existing computational organization and network studies by integrating individual behavior models and network models.

The major purpose of construction project management is to meet defined targets(scope or quality) on schedule and budget. Korean construction industry is suuering from lower productivity as compared to other industry sectors. 'Management software' of the construction industry has not been developed as fast as hardware in the aftermath of compressed economic development following the Korean War. Therefore, this study is intended to compare project execution at planning phase and at completion phase and identifying the risk factor of construction projects. Construction projects are more extensive and long-winding than any other projects and stake holders of complex interests are often involved. In this study, we identified and analyzed risk factor for domestic building construction projects and outputs of this study will be conducive to the improvement of construction management processes in the future.

Risk management is an important element for successful management of overseas construction projects. This study reports a case study in which we proposed a risk management planning and procedure for plant construction which can be applied throughout the project life cycle. We analyzed the risk management practices of Korean construction companies by applying the concept of the PRINCE2 method developed in the UK, and proposed a risk management planning and procedure with organizational structure and working process. The suggested risk management planning and procedure was applied to an overseas plant construction project, and produced good results. It is believed that the procedure suggested here can also be aplied to other companies to enhance the competency in the global construction market.
