Since the partly changed 'Private Investment Act for Social Infrastructure Projects' set forth in January 2005, the number of BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) projects offered to the market has rapidly increased. The scope of BTL projects offered covers not only legally defined facilities but several facilities for the private schools. A BTL project, by definition, is a way of project management that includes the entire process of development such as planning, design, construction and operation over the period of 20-30 years. As a result, various types of risk may happen at each stage of the project and it is extremely important to efficiently control the sensitive factors that affect the risk profiles of the project. The examples of the sensitive factors are construction cost, interest rate, discount rate, lease amount, rental fee, O&M cost and so on. This study examines the characteristics of these sensitivity factors, analyzes their impact on the project feasibility and suggests the alternatives to manage them efficiently.

Beginning January 2005, the BTL (Build-Transfer-Lease) project was initiated by government to provide high level of public services for the upgraded quality of life. The most important process of the BTL project is operation, because the company have to operate the building about $20{\sim}30$ years after completion. But a lot of problems have been founded so far. For example, no counterplan for the risk in operation, no total control system and the vagueness in project guideline and so on. These problems will cause serious demage to the BTL project. Hence, this paper analyzes the above issues and conducts the interviews with the professionals from the diverse sectors in order to propose the improvement and deliver the successful operation in BTL project.

As a new form of the public procurement method, that is BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) was introduced in 2005, it has consequently created a new form of emerging business, so called BTL Project Management firms. As a key participant of BTL projects, PM firms play an important role in securing the projects. But due to the short history of BTL, the identity of BTL PM firms has not been widely understood. The objective of this paper is to investigate major characteristics of BLT PM firms for better understanding of the emerging business.

When the new highway is opened, the new highway has alternative or linkage relationship with current highway networks. This change will lead to the different traffic patterns which can also lead to the change of toll revenue in other surrounding highways. This study investigates the change of revenue on the current highway networks caused by the new highway opening under the unified revenue system. Moreover, this study calculates the effectiveness of the revenue fluctuation when the highway system is under controlled by the public or private institution and proposes the meaning of the revenue fluctuation to those institutions. This study also proposes an index of revenue change that could be used to reflect the individual project evaluation and set the priority between multiple projects. Some limitations and future research agenda have also been discussed.

This study is a LCC case analysis on the school one of the BTL projects which is constructed by private organizations and rented to government. According to the RFP to make out documents, it is performed the case analysis based on the results of LCC calculation about maintenance & conservation costs; repairing costs and replacement costs. It is analyzed LCC on maintenance & conservation costs for 20 years(rent period) and 65 years(life cycle). As a result of LCC analysis, about more than 50% of total LCC are architectural works and the rest of them are machinery works, electric works, and civil works in the order. And it is also suggested some problems and their solutions to perform LCC analysis on the current BTL projects of school.

This research was carried out to understand the actual condition of Forest Management Agency System, Cooperative Forest Program and People's Forest Program with Public Participation and to boost the program. To carry out a quantitative survey among selected 5 Regional Forest Service and 27 National Forest Office, we investigated the activity-awareness concepts of officers on Importance, Performance, and problems of program. As a results, the difference of understanding on National Forest Management System involved with the results of agreement achieved. Also most serious problem of Forest Management Agency System were the shortage of participation will and the limitation of security benefit. The prime reason for the program problem is lack of investment in People's Forest Program. The final results on survey of National Forest Management System with the Importance and Performance as followed. It indicated that I(Keep Up Good Work) have 5 Factors, II(Concentrate Here) have 2 Factors, III(Low Priority) have 6 Factors, and IV(Possible Overkill) have 2 Factors. Base on above investigation, we finally suggest that new organization exclusive responsible for the improvement of management and encouragement of Build Transfer Operate.

Nowaday OECD countries actively introduce the performance audit to evaluate the performance of public policies. Motivated by the current trend in practice, this paper presents performance audit indices and methodology developed for evaluating the transportation investment projects and policies. The main contribution of this study would be twofold:1) key performance indices, 5Es + 4Cs rule, and methodology of performance audit are derived from foreign (GAO, NAO) and domestic (BAI) audit reports; 2) checklists (key issues and focuses) of performance audit are suggested as ranks. It is also suggested that further studies are needed to maintain the indices and the methodology to achieve sustainable performance of transportation projects and policies.

Since inaccurate demand estimation for recent urban rail construction may result in financial burden to cities, precise prediction for operating cost as well as construction costs is necessary to avoid or reduce budget loss of the local or central government. The operating cost is directly related to the public fare and affect a policy to determine the rate system. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop an estimating model for reliable operating cost of urban railway. This study introduces a new model to estimate the operating cost with new variables. It provides a better prediction in accuracy and reliability compared to the existing model, considering the feature of urban railway. For verification of our model, railway operation data from a few cities for the last five years were comprehensively examined to determine variables that affect the operating cost. The operating cost was estimated in a dummy regression model using five independent variables, which were average distance between stations, daily trains distance, total passenger capacity of a train in a train, driving mode(manned/unmanned), and investment type(financial/private).

The needs for Light Railroad Transit(LRT) have been increased due to the heavy traffic congestions in large cities like Seoul, Korea. Korean government is seeking the LRT system development (including planning, designing, construction, and maintenance and operations) in terms of public-private-partnership (PPP). At the private sector side, it is crucial to estimate the life cycle cost (LCC) to project the cash flow during the O&M period. Since the most construction and O&M cost of LRT project is at the bridge construction, a cost analysis model and a cost breakdown structures (CBS) on LRT bridges are discussed through in depth literature reviews. Construction and maintenance cost of bridges are collected and analyzed. LCC is analyzed by types of bridge superstructures and historical data of repair and rehabilitation (R&R) is investigated. There have been scarce number of LCC analysis on railway bridges. This research delivers a well-defined CBS and maintenance cost data, which will be a great benefit to the systematic maintenance strategy development for railroad bridges.
