The purpose of this study was to identify housing attributes that make residents feel 'at home' in ALFs in Southwest Virginia. For this purpose, residents' needs, experiences, and opinions of the physical environment, the social environment and the organizational environments such as policies and programs of ALFs were identified. As a multi-case study, five ALFs in Southwest Virginia were studied using constant comparative methods of data analysis. In addition to face-to-face interviews with 25 residents and 5 administrators of five ALFs, observations were conducted with personal journal. Each facility was designed to be a single-family house or multi-family dwelling in outside appearance. Most of the respondents were satisfied with their current dwelling as a 'home' in terms of homelike attributes such as 'autonomy/ privacy', personalization,' safety and security,' services and care,' independence,' social interaction/friendship,' family support,' and 'rules and regulations.' In spite of high satisfaction with the facility, however, many people did not think of their current dwelling as a real 'home'. As the biggest difference between living in their own homes and living in the ALF, people feinted out a lack of independence and social interaction. Residents of ALFs may have reordered their priorities in their current life situation so that safety, security, and caie were more important to them than fooling "at home."

A local government is not a group under central government, rather it fulfills the function independently as a economic social administrative unit. Belief and role of chief of regional government, and citizen's understanding and interest regarding importance of an election pledge are getting higher. Thus, this study researches election pledges which can be a main variable of urban plan. Especially, the study attempts to analyze impacts of election pledge on urban spatial structure and regional economic structure. When relationship between election pledge and Use Zoninig change were analyzed, the result showed that development related entire use Use Zoninig changes were related with election pledge. When it was subdivided according to each use area, relationship of use area change among election pledge and urban spatial structure found to have relatively high in resident area. In addition, relationship between population factor and election pledge was high. This can be judged as election pledge and urban spatial structure change have relationship. Particularly, sectors related with residents are expected to have high correlation. As a result, pledges regarding general welfare administrative part were a few at areas with many pledges regarding regional economic development. So, it can be classified as regional economic development oriented pledge suggesting area and welfare administrative oriented suggesting area. Through realization of these pledges, it might be able to affect urban spatial structure changes.

This is the study on the current status and system of the elderly medical and welfare facilities with the subjects in Busan. I investigated the problems related to those by analysing the current status and implementing a survey and then suggested a new facility system as a salvation. At present, the elderly medical and welfare facilities can not receive variety of inmates and also they are operated separatedly so the elderly is not able to receive special treatment and nursing at the same time in one facility. Some nursing facilities can give special treatment by connecting specific hospital when it is necessary, but the connection is not activated than our expectancy at the present. On the base of these problems, this study suggested 'one-stop service system' that can afford to give nursing and special treatment in a place ranging wider areas as the solution. The five types of facility system by integrating the results of survey are as followings. 1) Free special nursing facility + The geriatric hospital. 2) The profit special nursing facility + The geriatric hospital. 3) The geriatric hospital + The hospital rooms with silver town residence type. 4) The actual expense special nursing facility + The geriatric hospital + The hospital rooms with silver town residence type. 5) The geriatric hospital + The residential welfare service. It seems that the preparation for the elderly is urgent when considering the facilities related to those are not special any more because every one is supposed to use them some day. The kinds and the degree of elderly's diseases will be more duplicated and significant afterwards. Therefore it is expected that more various and specialized facilities are to be required.

Although the number of users of urban railways is greatly influenced by the land use plan around the railway station, Korea has been studying this problem in a small scale, so that the entrance width is uniformly calculated irrespective of the land use plan, And there is little deviation. Therefore, this study aims to establish a demand estimation model for the entrance and exit of urban railway stations. For this purpose, the demand, land use area, and socioeconomic indicators for each of the 20 urban railway stations were surveyed at 200m and 500m Regression model. The model is based on the assumption that the dependent variable (response variable) of the model is set to 1 day, peak 1 hour, peak time 5 minutes, Education, and park) and socioeconomic indicators (population, employer, employee, and student) as independent variables (explanatory variables). As a result, it was analyzed that the fit of the model is more statistically significant when the use area of the land use by 500 meters of the center radius of the city rail is used as an independent variable and the demand for the daily use of the railway station is used as a dependent variable. The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimal size of urban railway entrance in order to improve the mobility of the user and the transportation weak in urban railway station.

The floor impact sound insulations are installed frequently for reducing the floor impact sound into the floor slab of the residential buildings in recent years. Therefore the analytical FE model considering the insulation is needed for the sound and vibration analysis of the floor and it is necessary to use a refined finite element model fer considering the large number of modes involved dynamic responses. So it is very difficult to use FE model because of the tiresome task for constructing the FE model, taking a lot of times for analysis and the impossibility of using the proportional damping. The efficient analysis and modeling method are proposed to the dynamic analysis for the floor with damping layer in this study. The floor slabs and finished layers are modeled individually and the spring elements that mean damping layers used to connect two parts. The dynamic analysis by the $Newmark-{\beta}$ method is performed to solve the non-proportional damping problem due to the damping coefficient of insulations.

As smart grid techniques developed, public attention is concentrating on energy efficiency. So it is necessary to study on new renewable energy in order to manage the energy within micro grid consisting smart grid. Among them, small hydro energy has the advantage of being installable anywhere depending the amount of water used by the users within micro grid. This study examines if the measured value is appropriate for small hydro power generation by measuring generation quantity and operation rate of generator based on the sewage flow used by apartments and multi-unit dwellings where those users live. Some appropriate apartments and multi-unit dwellings generate electricity with small hydro generator using sewage as potential energy. This study intends to suggest more effective management by introducing energy management system and electricity storage device of micro grid.
