This study analyzes the economic effects of reduction of green-belt. Green-belt is a kind of land which is restricted to be developed into housings. It is important for social welfare. It affects the social welfare by two routes. One way is through the housing market process. Development of green-belt into housings increases housing supplies and lowers rents. The other is that it improves the living condition by increasing green spaces. Therefore, the development of green-belt to housing can Improve or worsen the social welfare. This paper analyzes its welfare effects by simulations. The results of the paper show that reduction of green-belt increases housing supply and lowers the rent and asset prices. The social welfare is improved in the model.

Recently increasing the supply of housing policy has not been able to reflect social phenomena as like decreasing birth rate, aging of the population and increasing 1 or 2 person households. This study analyze the housing demand in the city with the point of population growth rate and economic character changes. Growing cities have positive population growth rate and economic character, but shrinking cities have the opposite. By comparing housing demand of growing cities and shrinking cities, we want to find out housing policy implications. In this study, results suggest that the peak age of housing demand of shrinking cities is the late 60's. But the growing cities's age peak is the mid-80's. But further analysis of the economic variables and 1 or 2 person old and young household dummies, the result is that the peak age of housing demand is reduced. These results suggest that housing demand should be differentiated the cities's population structure and economic characteristics of the household. In short, housing demand will vary depending on the condition of individual cities.

Appropriate evaluation of thermal insulation property of structural member and valid control of cooling/heating energy are important for improving building's energy efficiency. The typical heating system of house in Korea is the floor heating one. The radiation heating system is not only appropriate to climate and geographic conditions of Korea, but also advantageous to provide emotional comfort by the warm feeling of floor. Based on living conditions in Korea, scaled models of the wooden house and concrete house were designed. The ceiling was made of styrofoam insulation and the four sided walls and bottom were made of plywood and concrete, respectively. The floor was heated by heating film. Indoor vertical temperature distributions by floor heating system were measured by thermocouple, and surface temperatures on walls were measured by infrared thermography. Also, thermal insulation property of wooden wall was evaluated to build database for improving energy efficiency of wooden building. It is expected that collected data during tests of various types of floor and wall composition could be referenced for evaluating thermal environment of actual conditions of houses.

Because local cities are different from large cities, they need to reflect their own characteristics of housing market. Thus in order to obtain useful implications for the establishing sound housing market in Jinju City, this paper investigated the characteristics of spatial distribution and determinant factors that affect apartment price in Jinju City. GIS representation of the apartments showed that most of old and small apartments were built in 'land readjustment project' areas executed in 1970s. On the contrary, new and large scale apartment complexes were built quite recently and distributed in the western and southern parts of the city. Next, in order to examine the factors which affect apartment price, this paper subtracted firstly several variables from the related studies. However in order to avoid multi-colinearity, variables were summarized by means of factor analysis. Then, setting apartment price as a dependant variable, 12 hedonic price models were established with 33 independent variables. As results, building age, floor area, accessibility to university and hospital, accessibility to arterial road, and stair-type building were turned out to be significant. These results will be used in making the supply and allocation plan of urban facilities and housing. Finally as conclusions this paper emphasized the need of periodic analysis of local housing market and establishing detailed housing information systems.

Recently, urban shrinkage due to low birth rate and aging population and the decline of local cities are causing a new urban problem of empty houses. This study examines the distribution of vacant homes using spatial panel data collected from 2015 to 2019 at local administraitve districts and estimates the factors of vacant house occurrence using a spatial panel model considering spatio-temporal dependency. As a result, the spatio-temporal dependence of vacant houses was identified and it was estimated using spatial panel model not OLS model. Based on the spatial panel model, it was found that the most influential factor in the occurrence of vacant houses was the housing-related factor. This result shows that policy considerations for housing supply are necessary for the management of vacant housing as well as population movement and poor infrastructure.

Design of a vegetation type sound barrier was presented as a noise barrier on the boundary of neighborhood facilities including schools, and apartments. The suggested noise barrier is made of unit blocks that are to be formed by stacking over the wall structure containing the plant and soils in the blocks. The advantage of the vegetation noise barrier is to acquire not only sound absorptive effects of plants and soils, but also sound diffusive effect caused by the irregular surface of the barrier which could eventually mitigate the noise. First, the optimum size of the units to obtain the highest noise reduction was investigated using 1/10 scaled model experiment, and sound attenuation experiments were carried out using a 1/2 mock-up model which is 2 m high and 5 m long. Total 1,137 unit blocks were made of synthetic woods with the size of $10{\times}10{\times}9cm$. These unit blocks were installed on the both side of the 1/2 mock-up steel framed noise barrier. As a result, it was revealed that the block typed vegetation noise barrier has 7 dB higher insertion loss in comparison with the general plane noise barrier. Also, it was found that the appropriate size of unit blocks is $20{\times}20cm$ which has large effect of sound insertion loss.

As a series of studies about natural ventilation driven by wind in basement parking lots of apartment, the influence of opening size and surrounding buildings on ventilation rate was analyzed. Natural ventilation in underground parking lots almost rely on wind than temperature difference. To investigate natural ventilation driven by wind, wind tunnel tests by using scale model and tracer gas method were conducted. $CO_2$-gas concentration was measured, natural ventilation rates were calculated. The experimental results showed that the natural ventilation rate is more reliable to wind direction and surrounding building than opening size and distance between buildings. It was verified that surrounding buildings play a principal role in increasing air flow rate by accelerating wind speed, and growing turbulence intensity. And it showed that ventilation performance is able to be increased by oblique wind to entrance ramp than head on wind in underground parking lots with surrounding buildings.

사회 다변화 및 급속한 경제성장과 도시밀집화로 인하여, 화재의 발생으로 인하여 막대한 인명피해 및 대규모의 재산상의 피해가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 화재의 피해를 예측하기 위해서는 실제 규모의 화재실험이 매우 유용하지만, 막대한 비용과 현실적 제약조건으로 인하여 실제 실험에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 막대한 예산이 소요되는 실제규모의 화재실험의 대체방법으로 실제를 모사하는 축소모형 화재모의실험 및 컴퓨터를 이용한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 범용 컴퓨터를 이용한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법(CFAST)을 이용하여 수직 공간 구성을 가지는 단독주택의 화재 성상을 검토하였다. 시뮬레이션 모델로는 단독주택을 대상건물로 하여 2층으로 수직 공간을 가지는 단독주택 건물에 대한 모의 화재 시뮬레이션을 수행 하였다. 화재 시뮬레이션 결과는 각 구획실별 온도, 일산화탄소량, 공기 중 산소량 등을 도출하여 기존 이론에 의한 화재성장 그래프와 시뮬레이션 데이터를 비교하여 정확도를 검토하였다. 본 논문에서는 두가지의 시나리오를 작성하여 화재 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 결과 값을 분석하였다. (1) 시나리오 1 : 화재시뮬레이션 대상건물 1층 거실(2번방)에서 스프링클러 미 설치시 화재가 발생한 경우를 가정하여 수평방향인 3번방과 수직방향인 7번방의 화재 확산 피해정도를 살펴보고, 화재 그래프의 이론값과 실험값의 차이를 비교하여 그 정합성을 검토하였다. 발화물질은 Curtain, TV set, Sofa, Table으로 하며 시간은 60초 간격으로 총 3600초(1시간)를 분석 하였고, 발화지점의 온도, 일산화탄소, 공기중 산소 농도를 분석하였다. (2) 시나리오 2 : 시나리오 1과 동일한 화재발현 조건으로 스프링클러가 설치되어 있을 때 화재 발생 했을 경우, 수평방향인 3번방과 수직방향인 7번방의 화재 확산 피해를 시나리오 1과 비교 검토 하였다. 기존 이론에 의한 화재 성장 그래프와 이번 시뮬레이션 결과값을 토대로 만든 그래프 형태를 비교해보면 두 그래프의 형태가 비슷한 형태를 나타내어 Flash Over 현상과 Back Draft 현상이 이론값과 같은 경향을 나타내고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 수행한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법으로 건축물의 실제 화재시의 피해정도를 예측하는 데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
