Research on diagnosing and predicting the response of ecosystems caused by environmental changes such as artificial disturbance and climate change is emerging as the most important issue of biodiversity and ecosystem researches. This study aims to clean, standardize, and provide the results of National Ecosystem Survey which should be considered fundamentally in diagnosing and predicting ecosystem changes in the form of dataset. To refine and clean the dataset we developed a simple verification program based on the fifth National Ecosystem Survey Guideline and applied that program to the data from the second (1997~2005), third (2006~2013) and fourth (2014~2018) National Ecosystem Survey. Data quality control processes were implemented including (1) standardization of terminology, (2) similar data table integration, (3) unnecessary attribute and error elimination, (4) unification of different input items, (5) data arrangement in codes, and (6) code mapping for input items. These approaches and methods are the first attempt propose an option for ecological data standardization in Korea. The standardized dataset of National Ecosystem Survey in Korea will be easily accessible, reusable for both researchers and public. In addition, we expect it will contribute to the establishment of diverse environmental policies concerning environmental assessments, habitat conservation, prediction of endangered species distribution and ecological risks due to climate change. The dataset through this study is open freely online via EcoBank (nie-ecobank.kr) which is the first ecological information portal system in Korea developed by National Institute of Ecology.

This research investigates the causes of infringements related to authors' moral rights which has most conflict among moral rights of authorship, through analysis of judicial precedents and compare whether there subsists any differences in viewpoints between judicial precedent trend and those on behind the scene of broadcast production. Copyright is divided into intellectual property and moral rights of authorship. Right to the integrity of the work is part of moral rights of authorship and produce one content and used in various media. When the edit is needed to fit the organization and advertisement time, advanced consultation from the rightful owner or written consent is needed. However, under the time pressure or ignorance of copyright, the arbitrary edits are made and content is used. This infringes the right of the integrity of the work. When we produce and use cinematographic works and other audiovisual works, there are considerable variablilies stemming from authorship, production cost and program staff. Therefore, prior conscent is needed to acquire and use the copyright in a proper manner. However, due to production-oriented environment and low understanding of the copyright protection, we usually depend on the users' work practices rhather than insufficiency of copyright laws in dealing with the infringement of right to the industry. In conclusion, we need to provide meticulous work manual and to focus on systematic eduction of professional copyright manpower.

In general, the daily safety inspection activities, which investigate damages in structures and measures the size of the damage, have been relied heavily on the visual inspection so far. Since the probe of the condition and performance of facilities by such personnel is often dependent on the subjective judgment of the investigator, the consistency and repeatability of the probing results may reduce. Particularly, damage located in a difficult-to-reach place depends mainly on experience with the naked eye, and an unsafe method using a ladder has mainly applied when necessary. Therefore, in this study, we tried to propose a way of using images that can reduce the deviation between safety inspection investigators, enhance objectivity, and improve the safety of workers. In this study, we have applied homographic transformation as a method of correcting the image. As a result of analyzing the size of the damage in the corrected image of the test subject, it confirms that the accuracy of measuring the magnitude of the damage can satisfy the target levels of 5.0mm and 0.005m², the target accuracy levels. As a result of the field verification test to which the proposed image correction technique applied, the coefficient of variation of the crack length in the structure decreased from 5.4~7.0% to 0.072~0.12%, and that of the damaged area from 10.9% to 1.6%. It confirms that the measurement accuracy is improved. Therefore, it is expected that this study on the image utilization technique in safety inspection activities can increase the accuracy of damage measurement and improve the reliability of the safety inspection reports and exterior survey drawings.

Type 1 and type 2 buildings must regularly conduct precise safety inspections and precise safety diagnosis for the safety and maintenance of facilities, and the safety grade of the building is determined according to the results of the implementation. In addition, the cycle of inspection and diagnosis is determined according to the safety grade of the building. In order to determine the safety grade of the building, a precise safety inspection conducts condition evaluation, and a precise safety diagnosis conducts condition evaluation and safety evaluation. Therefore, since the inspection and diagnosis cycle is determined according to the safety grade of the building, the condition evaluation and safety evaluation must be precise. However, in the case of member unit evaluation, which is the first step in evaluating the current condition, the evaluation grade is determined by using the representative value of the measurement result, and this may result in an error in the evaluation grade. To solve this problem, this study analyzed evaluation criteria for each evaluation item and presented evaluation criteria using inequalities to respond to measurement results and evaluation scores. In addition, we present a functional formula that can reflect performance scores for each evaluation item.

To improve the water quality of agricultural reservoirs, constructed wetlands are applied in many places. These are technologies that establish ecosystems and important design factors include water depth distribution, inflow and outflow, water flow distribution, hydraulic residence time, water quality treatment efficiency, aspect ratio, and the distribution of open water and covered water surfaces. For high efficiency during the operation of a constructed wetland, the design needs to be optimized and this requires consideration of the different types and length of the intake dam as well as the type and connection of wetland cells. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate and suggest factors that needs to be considered during the design and for efficient operation measures through field surveys of 23 constructed wetlands that have been established and operated in agricultural reservoirs. Results of the field investigation shows that several sites were being operated improperly due to the malfunctioning or failure of the water level sensors, sedimentation in the intake dam, and clogging of the mechanical sluice frames. In addition, it was found that as the length of the inlet channel increases, the ecological disconnection between the intake dam upstream and the wetland outlet downstream also increases and was identified as a problem. Most of the wetlands are composed of 2 to 5 cells which can result to poor hydraulic efficiency and difficulty in management if they are too large. Moreover, it was found that the flow through a small wetland can be inadequate when there are too many cells due to excessive amounts of headloss.

Since cracks in concrete structures expedite corrosion of reinforced concrete over a long period of time, regular on-site inspections are essential to ensure structural usability and prevent degradation. Most of the safety inspections of facilities rely on visual inspection with naked eye, so cost and time consuming are severe, and the reliability of results differs depending on the inspector. In this study, a portable measuring device that can be used for safety diagnosis and maintenance was developed as a device that measures the width and length of concrete cracks through image analysis of cracks photographed with a camera. This device captures the cracks found within a close distance (3 m), and accurately calculates the unit pixel size by laser distance measurement, and automatically calculates the crack length and width with the image processing algorithm developed in this study. In measurement results using the crack image applied to the experiment, the measurement of the length of a 0.3 mm crack within a distance of 3 m was possible with a range of about 10% error. The crack width showed a tendency to be overestimated by detecting surrounding pixels due to vibration and blurring effect during the binarization process, but it could be effectively corrected by applying the crack width reduction function.

In general, earth retaining work in construction works enables the construction of structures, prevents the displacement of the surrounding ground to the maximum extent, and plays an important role in ensuring the safety of the surrounding structures and field workers. The earth retaining work and the construction method differ according to the various ground characteristics, surrounding topographical characteristics, repair environment, and design conditions. In particular, in the case of Seoul city, the environments and ground conditions differ according to the area. This study analyzed the earth retaining work cost mainly for the apartment construction project in Seoul and calculated the approximate earth retaining work cost at the project planning stage. A model was developed to predict the cost of earth retaining work that matches the characteristics of Seoul City and predict the construction cost for earth retaining work. This paper presents the predicted earth retaining work cost using a multiple regression model that applies 10 project outlines as independent variables. The error rate of the prediction result of the earth retaining work cost of the apartment construction project in Seoul using multiple regression models was 10.75%.

In order to develop future construction technology, research is actively being conducted on concrete construction technology using 3D printing, which is currently in the spotlight as a future industry in domestic and foreign construction industries and academia. However, 3D printing technology is currently being developed and does not meet the requirements for proper construction technology and the properties of concrete materials, and it is difficult to apply in the actual field. Research is also needed for the durability management and maintenance of constructed structures. This work compares the compressive and flexural strength to that produced in conventional molds by dividing the 3D printed concrete output by the laminated X, Y, and Z axes. The compressive strength of a test specimen in the II Z-axis test direction was 8-10% higher than that of the other test directions (I and III Y axes and X axis). The strength was 4% lower than that of a molded test specimen. As of 28th of the age, the bending strength of the test specimen in the Z-axis direction was 5 to 7% higher than that of the I and III Y, and X-axis test directions, and the strength was 2% lower than that of the molded test specimen.

In the construction industry, off-site construction (OSC) is drawing attention as a production method due to changes in working hours and the supply and demand of manpower. In 1991, there was a policy of spreading and expanding the use of precast concrete (PC) apartment homes, but they have not been actively used so far since they were discontinued due to quality problems. In this study, policy tasks were analyzed to motivate the application of OSC-based PCs in the apartment housing sector, and policy directions were derived by conducting focus group interviews (FGI). Nine policies are suggested regarding the following topics: PC apartment supply quantity provision, priority application of public housing, priority supply of public housing, preferential floor area ratio, funding, tax support, improvement of business area structure, improvement of delivery method, factory certification system, and training of experts. The results of the FGIs are as follows. First, in order to revitalize PC apartment homes, leading efforts from the public sector are required. Second, rather than reorganizing the business sector or introducing a new delivery method, a policy direction that induces the strengthening of cooperation is desirable. Third, PC activation should be promoted on an institutional basis for securing appropriate construction costs and quality.
