In this study, biodiversity was classified as 4 sectors (genes, species, ecosystems, and cultures) and overall 14 indicators were subdivided by the classification criterion of 4 sectors. Among those 14 indicators, monetary evaluation was conducted for 11 indicators that can be quantified in economic perspectives. Results show that negative economy effects (forest degradation, forest fire, forest damage caused by diseases and insects, deforestation, and cost under the assumption with the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol to be compensated for traditional knowledge) by reducing forest biodiversity were evaluated as 254.5 billion won annually. Also, Bioindustry, indigenous species, forest production, protection area, and income associated with mountain village were considered as positive economy effects and their annual economic value was 6.72 trillion won. Net annual benefit by maintaining forest biodiversity was about 6.5 trillion won.

This study aims to suggest the basics for the implementation of the farmstead-specific early warning system (FEWS) for weather risk management nationwide. A survey by questionnaire was conducted to examine farmer's response, and a cost-benefit analysis was made to examine the effect of the FEWS on the economy. The farmers who volunteered to participate in this survey responded that they were generally satisfied with the FEWS, and that they used it well for farming. Willingness to pay (WTP) for the early warning service was estimated to be 8,833 KRW per month by survey respondents. If the early warning service is extended to nationwide and 50% of farmers use it for six months, then the ratio of benefit to cost will be 2.2, indicating that nationwide expansion of the FEWS is very feasible.

A subsidy policy on early scrapping of old diesel vehicles has been activated to improve air pollution in Seoul metropolitan area. The benefit-cost analysis on this policy evidently shows cost effective as benefit is greater than cost. The policy currently provides 80% of old diesel vehicle's worth within the maximum amount capped which limited the effects on increasing the level of subsidy. Therefore, to induce more old diesel vehicles scrapped, it is needed to consider that the level of subsidy and the maximum amount are raised at the same time. Meanwhile, taking account of insufficient subsidy amount, granting older vehicles more subsidy would be a good way of extending the policy effect.

국내 금강유역의 경우 충남 서부와 북부지역을 중심으로 강수량 부족과 가뭄이 빈번히 발생하는 것으로 보고되며, '14년에도 강수량이 부족하였고, '15년에는 제한급수에 돌입하는 등 가뭄 피해가 최대 3년에 걸쳐 다년 발생하였다. 가뭄 발생 시 댐은 가뭄 대응단계별 용수공급조정기준에 따라 생공용수 여유량, 하천유지용수, 농업용수, 생공용수 순으로 감량 후 운영된다. 이중 하천유지용수는 수 생태계 및 하천과 관련이 있는 다양한 자연 자원의 보호와 보전을 위해 하천에 남아 흘러야 하는 물로 정의되며, 환경 및 생태계에 관한 중요성이 커짐에 따라 가뭄 시에도 하천이 유수의 정상적인 기능과 상태 유지를 위해 필요한 용수이다. 용수공급조정 기준은 지금까지 총 5차례 개정되었으며, 가장 최근인 '19년에는 가뭄 주의단계시 하천유지 용수 감량기준을 기존 하천유지용수 "100% 감량"에서 "최대 100% 감량"으로 개정되었다. 이를 통해 다양한 의사결정이 가능해졌지만, 한편으로는 구체적인 기준이 제시되지 않아 이해당사자 간 상호 협의를 통해 감량(주로 50%)하는 실정이다. 이러한 상호 협의의 과정은 다양한 이해당사자들의 의사를 반영할 수 있는 과정이긴 하지만 수자원의 부족은 직접적으로 주민들에게 심각한 피해로 이어지기에 보다 정교하고 합리적인 기준의 설정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 의사결정 과정에 활용할 수 있는 하천유지용수 최적 감량 방안을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 방안은 각 이해당사자의 향후 체계적인 의사결정을 위해 근거를 제공하는 것이 목표이다. 이를 위해, 하천유지용수의 공급에 따른 편익과 가뭄 위험도 간의 관계를 규명하고, 관계에 따른 하천유지용수 감량 정도에 따른 피해를 추정한다.

A methodology for determining the optimal durations of the use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs of cattle was designed based on the cost-benefit analysis method. The results of application for pigs, an omnivorous cattle, were discussed for the hypothetical deposition of radionuclides on August 15 when a number of crops are fully developed in Korean agricultural conditions. For investigating the relative cost-effectiveness of the use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs, the net benefit was compared with the case of the direct disposal of contaminated crops. The time-dependent radionuclide concentration in crops after the deposition was predicted using a dynamic food chain model DYNACON. The net benefit from the actions was quantitatively evaluated in terms of cost equivalent of doses and monetary costs of implementing the action. It depended on a number of factors such as radionuclides, variety of crops supplied as feedstuffs and duration of the actions. The use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs was more cost effective for $^{90}Sr\;or\;^{131}I$ deposition than for $^{137}Cs$ deposition.

Water supply plan by optimal conjunctive use of surface and ground water is studied to prepare expected water deficit in near future. The optimization model for conjunctive use of surface and ground water is developed using discrete differential dynamic programming technique to maximize net benefit by water supply. As a result of applying the model to Namdaechun river located in Yangyang, it is found that water supply reliability using optimal conjunctive use of surface and ground water is much higher than reliability using surface water alone.

비효율적으로 운영되는 빗물관리시설은 투입된 자원의 낭비, 편익의 상실 등 해당 건축물의 경제적 피해로 그치지 않고 오염된 빗물의 유출로 인해 도시 내 환경성을 저해할 수 있으며, 불필요한 시설이라는 인식으로 인해 빗물관리기술의 확산에 지장을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효율적인 빗물관리를 유도하고 기술의 확산을 도모고자 한다. 빗물관리시설의 운영효율을 평가하기 위하여, 빗물관리시설의 이수목적 운영효율과 치수목적 운영효율, 수질개선 효율 등을 정량화할 수 있는 지표를 제안하였다. 향후에는 제안된 평가방법을 검증하기 위한 연구가 추가적으로 진행되어야 할 필요가 있을 것이다.

We provide an economic evaluation model to help managers make reasonable decision for the investment in the appropriate type of cloud computing. Cloud computing can be classified into public, private and hybrid architecture and we evaluate their attractiveness using traditional NPV and real option methods. We conduct economic analysis by comparing traditional software delivery model with various types of cloud computing. The work compares each mode of cloud computing against each other using passive NPV and dynamic real-option method. For more objective and conservative evaluation of investment alternatives, we eliminate conventional benefits that are often subjective or hard to measure, and count only the reduction of investment cost and maintenance cost as benefit. We argue that hybrid and public cloud computing can be undervalued without their intrinsic options such as abandonment, expansion and contraction.

This paper investigated main determinants of paid-VOD user satisfaction and re-purchasing intention in IPTV platform. The findings showed that 'perceived system quality' was the significant antecedent variable influencing 'perceived usefulness' and 'perceived cost'. Meanwhile, 'perceived content quality' had the insignificant effect on 'perceived cost, while strongly and positively affecting 'perceived playfulness'. Regarding the relative size effect on the relationship between the belief variables and re-purchasing intention, content quality, cost, usefulness and playfulness were higher in the order, implying that functional benefits, like price and quality is the most crucial factor facilitating re-purchasing paid-VOD. Likewise, several variables associated with user characteristics and situation were employed as moderating variables to examine their impact on the process of formation of belief, satisfaction and intention. We found that there were distinct differences in value cognition and satisfaction level among users, depending on IPTV acceptance period, paid-VOD purchasing frequency, age and income level.

This study performed a benefit cost analysis of an automatic eggshell crack detection system. Based on various cost benefit analysis methods, including the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and benefit cost ratio (B/C Ratio), the automatic eggshell crack detection system was confirmed to have economic validity. The NPVs were 175,035,645 won at a 5% discount rate and 129,082,393 won at a 10% discount rate. Plus, the IRRs were 0.686 at a 5% discount rate and 0.660 at a 10% discount rate. Finally, the B/C ratios were 1.981 at a 5% discount rate and 1.900 at a 10% discount rate.
