This study attempts to suggest a standard for maintenance and repair cost per each unit area, by analyzing the causes and cost of various maintenance and repair work in the university facilities. The result of my study on the data of maintenance and repair work for 12 years between 1990 and 2001 in the two campuses of the university that I selected for my case study is the following. (1) The yearly average for maintenance and repair cost in the facilities of the university with 67 old and new buildings for the past 12 years was $W4,422/m^2$. In addition, the repair cost based on the calculation of the degree of decrepitude of the buildings was $W10,291/m^2$. (2) The number of causes of maintenance and repair work increase steadily every year, due to the development of universities and changes in the educational environment. A special case like a university merger also appears, which also demands maintenance and repair work of university facilities. (3) It is important that a budget for interior maintenance is increased or added to an extent, in order to minimize the maintenance and repair cost of the university facilities, and to cope with changing educational environments flexibly. (4) The publication of a white paper that includes the planning of a building, construction process, and changes in design, seems to be required for the sake of users' convenience and efficient maintenance and repair work.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate structural safety and economic efficiency of prestressed hybrid beam using T-shape steel member which was developed to build large span educational facilities. Hybrid beam specimens were manufactured with 16.0m long and load was uniformly distributed by 12.0kN steel hexahedrons. In this study, honeycomb beam design process was introduced to T-shape section steel beam design. Vibration condition of specimens were analyzed by Korea Building Code 2009 and AISC Steel Design Guide Series-11. As a result, the prestressed hybrid beam with T-shape steel member has about 10.4% of cost reduction effect.

With introduction of amended educational curriculum in 2007, optimizing project of educational environment to accomplish its purposes and goals includes expanding educational facilities and supplying eco-friendly school facilities. However, while the focus of optimizing project of educational environment is quality improvement of educational facilities, aging of these facilities built at th times of quantitative expansion and its management become serious problems. Higher concerns on studies and jobs on management of building caused by serious aging of facilities, management cost of building becomes a very crucial issue. Therefore, this study aims to analyze environment improvement budget of school facilities through building and using data warehouse, by investigating and analyzing the current status of environment improvement budget of school facilities and its cost through questionnaire and interview surveys on officers who are in charge of environment improvement budget of school facilities in educational administrations. This study thus analyzed environment improving budget of school facilities by using data warehouse technology collecting related data to the topic and setting levels by region, school class, establishment year, school facility types and others.

The purpose of this study is propose an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) model for the construction estimate of the public educational facility at conceptual stage. The current method for the preliminary cost estimate of the public educational facility uses a single-parameter which is based on basic criteria such as a gross floor area. However, its accuracy is low due to the nature of the method. When the difference between the conceptual estimate and detailed estimate is huge, the project has to be modified to meet the established budget. Thus, the ANN model is developed by using multi-parameters in order to estimate the project budget cost more accurately. The result of the research shows 6.82% of the testing error rates when the developed model was tested. The error rates and the error range of the developed model are smaller than those of the general preliminary estimating model at conceptual stage. Since the proposed ANN model was trained using the detailed estimate information of the past 5 years' school construction data, it is expected to forecast the school project cost accurately.

There is a growing demand for public kindergartens due to the problem of private kindergartens. However, when the kindergarten is built in the residential land development area, the cost of purchasing the land increases, and the overall project cost is increasing. This situation puts a lot of burden on educational finances. Therefore, to reduce the cost of establishing a kindergarten, it is required to revise related laws including act on the special cases concerning the procurement, etc. of school sites. The purpose of this study is to propose the revised laws to expand public kindergartens. In this study, the present situation of infants and kindergartens was analyzed through policy data and statistics. And the analysis of the investment evaluation data also analyzed the problems in establishing kindergarten. In addition, we conducted surveys and FGI analyzes on school sites and kindergarten related laws and regulations. Finally, this study aims to find a way to amend related acts of urban and architectural Planning for Invigoration of Public kindergarten establishment by analysis data.

The present paper deals with a comprehensive study about dynamic performance and educational economic assessment of nanocomposite structures, while it focuses on truncated conical shells. Advanced structure dynamic behavior has been analyzed by means of AI techniques, which allow one to predict and optimize their performances with good accuracy for different loading and environmental conditions. The incorporation of the AI method significantly enhances the computational efficiency and is a powerful tool in designing nanocomposites and for their structural analysis. Further, an educational assessment is provided in the context of cost and practicality related to such structures in engineering education. This study showcases the capabilities of AI-enabled methods with regard to cost reduction, improvement of structural efficiency, and enhancement of learning engagement for students through certain practical examples on state-of-the-art nanocomposite technology. The results also confirm a remarkable capability of artificial intelligence regarding the optimization of both dynamic and economic aspects, which could be highly valued for further development of nanocomposite structures.

The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development has implemented the Construction Cost Saving Policy since 1998. The National Universities and Regional Education Committee have been required to follow the details of the Policy in constructing educational facilities in their jurisdiction. While the Policy has positive effect on construction cost saving of the entities, it has been criticized from the beginning of the Policy implementation because of its negative impact on project quality, education quality, trust in the public sector construction business, and solvent operation of the private construction companies which build the educational facilities in the entities. The research aims at investigating the pitfalls of the Policy and suggesting more reasonable approaches that can satisfy both the governmental entities and the private companies.

The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for calculation of school operation fees for normal functioning of the school facilities, and facility maintenance and repair cost through their life spans, considering remodeling of the facilities and changes of their functions. This study analyzes maintenance and repair records during the three years from 2003 to 2005 in primary, middle and high schools in Incheon Metropolitan city and also the facility management and operation expenditure of the same schools in the city during the year of 2005, and presents quantified unit cost of each item according to the area, the age of the facilities, and the number of classroom, student, and lessons given. The calculation can be a basis for both BTL school facility managers and the general school facility mangers to budget school facility maintenance cost appropriately and the quantity of energy, water, electricity, and telephone fees calculated here can be a criteria for the managers to check the normal maintenance of their facility.
