As the elderly population are rapidly growing, the elderly who needs special care and nursing homes for them are also growing. However, many nursing homes were planned without considering the hierarchial space organization such as division of housing unit and nursing unit based on the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of the elderly or accessibility and supportiveness of the staff. This study was to examine the hierarchial characteristics in space organization of nursing homes by using Space Syntax. The subjects were 8 nursing homes in Busan. First, spaces in nursing homes were divided into five areas based on the literature review. Then the hierarchy of space organization for the access layer and layers of living floors was grasped by using G-graph. The access layer has a tree-type hierarchical structure and high visuality. Also, average depth of the space was 5. Then the full integration was analyzed. Mobile area, such as elevator, hallways, or living rooms has a high accessibility and the middle corridor type has commonly been characterized. The nursing stations were analyzed through the control degree and it was low in three nursing homes such as B, C, and G. The low clarity was showed in B, D, and F. The low clarity means that it is relatively difficult to recognize the whole space organization of nursing home. Even though the hierarchy of their living floors was tree-type structure with a high visuality, they has a type of grouping spaces around hallways and spreading, or a ring type.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which supports various features such as interoperability and reusability of IT resources, comes into the spotlight as an effective approach for adapting new business environmental changes. SOA, however, has some problems including the high realization complexity and low Return on Investment (ROI). To solve these problems, Web Oriented Architecture (WOA) has gained attention. However, it also has some drawbacks about security concerns and unstable message transmissions. In this paper, we design a novel integrated architecture that classifies services into inside and outside ones and applies SOA for the former and WOA for the latter, respectively. By converging the advantages of SOA and WOA simultaneously, the proposed architecture becomes more simple and service-oriented, and can satisfy diverse requirements of customers. The usefulness evaluation of the proposed architecture is conducted through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) scheme.

For a effective management and easy tool integration of CAD database, Hierarchy interface System(HIS) was designed and GROCO(Graph Representation fOr Complex Objects) Model was presented in another my paper[10]. Hierarchy Interface System which is composed of two subsystems of a configurator and a converter is designed for the interface between a conventional database management system and CAD tools. In this paper, Version Management System is presented for supporting effective operations of HIS using GROCO model. Version Management System supports efficiently CAD database charaters having a hierarchical structure of composite objects. In Version Management System, A design evolves in discrete states through mutation and derivation for going phases of design giving rise to multiple versions. Operations and rules are provided transition between their different states. and for controlling update propagation and preventing version proliferation. Version Modeling Graph is proposed for dealing with versioning at the instance and type levels.

The standardization of weapon system parts is one of the elements of parts management and is an important factor for reducing the cost of acquiring and maintaining a weapon system, enhancing its reliability, improving interoperability, alleviating parts obsolescence problems, improving logistics efficiency, and strengthening the military's combat readiness. This study examined how to manage parts of domestic R&D weapon systems, overseas imports weapon system parts, and various commercial parts from a standardization perspective, and to study parts management methods for standardizing parts in the future. This system was used to achieve systematic part standardization in a military weapon system. To this end, this study investigated what elements are used to standardize weapon system parts. The importance and weight of each element were calculated using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), one of the decision-making techniques, and the design stage standards using the part selection method were studied. Through this, the selection process of standard parts, which has been made according to the experience and subjective judgment of designers and personnel, was improved to propose a systematic and objective method of standardizing weapons parts.

This study examines many preceding studies on school space, including the high school credit system, and attempts to present the importance after deriving the most appropriate factors when constructing an educational environment of the high school credit system. Based on the derived importance level, the purpose of this study was to provide information that is helpful for the implementation of the educational environment of the high school credit system in each school and to establish and present a model from an academic perspective by deriving the importance of the educational environment according to the high school credit system. As a research method, the importance of the educational environment was analyzed through the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The result of the analysis indicated that it is necessary to consider the interrelationship between the educational curriculum and the educational environment, which selectively and intensively performs functions and maximizes the effect according to the strategic importance of the educational environment.

Traditionally, the decision of river width has aimed majorly at flood control and good river conveyance. And the river width has been decided by practitioner#s subjective and empirical opinion. Recently, however, there is a need for more objective and thus quantitative decision method for decision of river width considering not only economical aspect but also social or environmental aspect. This study adopts the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to improve the objectiveness in the decision of river width. Criteria and a standardized process are presented for field application. Using the proposed method, one can prioritize various river width and make the optimal decision. We believe that the method can serve as a useful tool for river engineers in practice.

A practical use of the location information and user requirement are increased in a mobile environment which supports the portability. And Various service which GIS is related with a Spatial DB have been processed. Generally, logical relation of a traffic network which organizes the Road DB uses a basic node-link structure. In this way, Designed structure can not be flexible at various model apply and are not efficient with a database retrieval in a maintenance management side. In this research, We supplement with the problem of a existing network model and the limitation of the building through the design of a network model which uses dynamic segmentation. And we tried to implement efficient hierarchy model at the retrieval of the network and presentation. Designed model supports a stage presentation of various level and a hierarchy entity relation and We are expected to supplement a network spatial modelling function which the GIS has.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate facade design factors of old dwellings using a Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on a pairwise comparison analysis using "Façade Design Factors" as evaluation criteria. Traditional old dwellings were presented and evaluated. A Fuzzy AHP based model was used for pairwise comparison of traditional old dwellings, whereby seven criteria and nine alternatives were described through a questionnaire and constructional data. The Fuzzy AHP was used to determine the impact of the facade design factors, because "Traditional" old dwellings are identified by the combination of their facade design factors. Furthermore, the fuzzy AHP is used to verify the feasibility and efficiency of this approach as well as for extent analysis to comprehend the priority of the traditional old dwellings using a sensibility measuring scale.

Recently, design has emerged as a key factor of successful product development. This study reviewed the elements of form with a view point of addressing and defining the elements of aesthetics and how they influence consumer aesthetic response. Though past researches related to form aesthetics reported that form aesthetics exist as a single element with other sub-elements, this research made further investigations into form aesthetics and reported that form aesthetics in product design can be broadly divided into form aesthetics and content aesthetics. Empirical studies on each category was undertaken and from the results obtained, it was concluded that typicality is a dominant element in content aesthetics while rhythm is a dominant element in form aesthetics. Also, the study investigated the effect of conditional variables such as price and brand hierarchy on each category and it was observed that both content and form aesthetics elements are affected by conditional variables such as price and brand hierarchy, Furthermore, the study reports that both content and form aesthetics elements are mutually correlated and both categories affect user's aesthetics response. It is intended that the results obtained from this work will contribute to theoretical knowledge of aesthetic elements and can be put to use by product design and manufacturing companies.
