  • Modern cities are actively adopting smart city services to address various urban challenges. Geospatial information acts as the foundational infrastructure of smart cities, promoting the sustainable development of urban areas. Consequently, as the standardization and utilization of geospatial information increase, the efficiency and sustainability of smart city operations improve. To achieve this, collaboration among diverse stakeholders is crucial for delivering optimal smart city services based on geospatial information. This paper defines smart city services, focusing on transportation and building-energy domains, based on the life cycle of geospatial information technology. Emphasis is placed on the importance of applying and utilizing geospatial information standards. Additionally, this paper proposes the Smart City based on Geospatial Information standards (SCGI) framework to provide insights into standardizing smart city services mapped to geospatial information standards. This research suggests a new paradigm for standardizing smart city services using geospatial information standards to offer customized solutions, thereby discussing the future development possibilities of smart cities.

  • Disasters that destroy homes and infrastructure and cause significant financial damage are becoming more common as population centers grow. In addition, several natural disasters have resulted in a major loss of life and created countless refugees due to damage to housing. After major catastrophic disasters, it is very important that the government agencies respond to post-disaster housing issues and provide resources such as temporary housing before the full rehabilitation and reconstruction of destroyed and damaged housing. To provide affordable temporary housing for residents who may lose their homes as the result of a catastrophic disaster including storms, government agencies must develop a post-disaster housing prototype. In general, government agencies should explore several different forms of factory-built single-story, single family housing, such as modular homes, panelized homes, and precut homes. In urban cities including New York and Seoul, it is very important to provide housing which supports the demand for higher-density living spaces than single-family homes or trailers typically available due to the high population density and the desire to resettle as many residents as possible in their former neighborhoods. This study identified the urban post-disaster housing prototypes that may provide higher density housing with high quality living spaces, high air quality, and energy efficiency as well as rapid deployment. A case study of "Urban Post-Disaster Housing Prototype Program in New York" was conducted through a detailed interview process with a designer, engineer, contractor, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in New York, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and temporary occupants. An appropriate disaster housing program that can provide living spaces for victims of disasters that keeps residents in their community and allows them to live and work in their neighborhoods was developed.

  • This paper presents a modeling prototype that optimizes construction processes implementing information communication technology (ICT). Using "IAMB", each and every actual steps of the construction process may be defined visually and explicitly by elaborating ICT to improve productivity and management efficiency. It contributes to identify the features on what parts of construction task are covered by ICT, and the effects of ICT on process performance. After analyzing 10 real project cases, ICT application types are classified into four categories according to ICT type, job functions that ICT applied, and the project phase in which ICT used. As a reuslt, it was confirmed that the positive outcomes on the construction process were beneficial to mostly the general contractors and mainly obtained by automated information processing, external consignment and consistent information use. Negative effects, which were occurred by mainly manual manipulation and duplication of information handling, were accrued to general contractors minimally, but to subcontractors maximally. Expert focus group commends that several important issues should be considered when implementing ICT.

  • Blocking electromagnetic waves on the exterior walls of buildings effectively reduces the intensity of electromagnetic fields in buildings, which leads to attenuation of electromagnetic disturbances, so there is a great interest in developing technologies. In this study, SiC by-products and graphite generated in the semiconductor field were selected and mixed into mortar after pretreatment such as pulverization to evaluate their physical properties and electromagnetic wave shielding performance. Considering the economic efficiency of each shielding material, only 10% volume of the outermost side of the experiment was mixed with each shielding material to evaluate the shielding performance. The shielding performance was predicted when the experiment was manufactured by mixing the shielding material with the entire volume of the experiment using the shielding effect evaluation formula. The results of the experiment showed that the shielding performance was up to 20 dB when SiC grains were mixed with shielding materials, the shielding performance was up to 18 dB when graphite powder was mixed with shielding materials, and the shielding performance was up to 28 dB when SiC powder was mixed with shielding materials, and the shielding performance was close to 30 dB, which is known to have a shielding rate of 99.9%.

  • As the construction standards for energy-saving eco-friendly housing have recently been strengthened, the proportion of window work has increased with the demand for high-efficiency housing. Windows have high frequency of use, and there is the potential for many defects to occur depending on the characteristics of construction. According to a government agency's survey of defects in public rental apartment housing, defects in the windows work accounted for the highest portion of complaints received. Accordingly, related previous studies were considered, and it was found that the existing studies in Korea lacked research that reflected the construction characteristics of window work and the importance of maintenance. In addition, existing overseas studies considered both the constructor and the resident's position, considering the cost aspect together, and showed a trend of structuring the relationship between defects and causes. Therefore, this study will analyze the causes of defects that can occur in the construction phase of the windows work, reflect the construction characteristics, and derive major factors that consider the importance of maintenance based on the possibility of recurrence after repairing defects. Ultimately, this research will contribute to preventing defects in the construction phase and reducing maintenance costs by presenting a highly effective defect management plan through selecting the major factors for each defect type that can be intuitively judged by analyzing the causal relationship between defect types and causes.

  • Recently, the installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems has been increasing due to the worldwide interest in eco-friendly and infinitely abundant solar energy. However, the output power of PV systems is highly influenced by the surrounding environment. For instance, a string of PV systems composed of modules in series may become inoperable under cloudy conditions or when in the shade of a building. In other words, under these conditions, the existing control method of PV systems does not allow the string to be operated in the normal way, because its output voltage is lower than the operating range of the grid connected inverter. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a new control method using a DC-DC voltage regulator which can compensate for the voltage of each string in the PV system. Also, based on the PSIM S/W, we model the DC-DC voltage regulator with constant voltage control & MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control functions and 3-Phase grid connected inverter with PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) control function. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the present control method can improve the operating efficiency of PV systems by compensating for the fluctuation of the voltage of the strings caused by the surrounding conditions.
