A purpose of this study is to suggest distribution tariff regulation that encourages private investment on the energy efficiency industry of Ukraine. As the electricity market reform and the regulation introduction to encourage energy efficiency are ongoing in Ukraine, it is best time for Korean companies to enter to the market. Therefore, studies on the regulation and the market of Ukraine are required in advance. A simulation of private investment feasibility on AMI business is conducted on one of 32 DSOs in Ukraine. Through the simulation, the directions of RAB tariff regulation, which is the core of the distribution service tariff regulation, were derived. It is essential for DSOs to permit AMI lease assets, introduced by private investors, as regulated assets while other regulations are maintained as it is for investment. This study provides a practical basis by presenting objective data through simulation. It is expected to be helpful for overseas expansion of companies if the study is expanded to the various energy efficiency industries.

Since China adopted Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the water sector in the early 1990s, PPPs have played a key role in improving infrastructure development in China. As the Chinese water market became one of the most enormous and potential existing in the world, once a water player settles down in the market, the company tends to be the world-leading water player on the basis of the number of people served from water infrastructure. Unlike the early PPP period overwhelmed by several water transnational corporations, local water players began to dominate the domestic market and have recently expanded their influence overseas. The Chinese government has continuously intervened to promote private sector participation of local water players in the PPP development process in legal and institutional aspects. Thus this article examined the development of water PPPs in China and analyzed the successful elements of local water players' growth related to the government policy.

Because LRT project is large infrastructure projects investing enormous budget and required continuous maintenance after construction, it is the global trend to perform business in terms of life-cycle from the initial construction, operation to disposal. It is very important LRT to manage interfaces efficiently and to integrate vehicle, civil, track, electricity, communications, signals, operations, facilities organically. Global companies of the railway developed countries including Europe are getting orders a large rail project and preempting the world market based on engineering technology. But, domestic LRT systems engineering is the subcontracting level to the lack of practical skills and experience. Thus, technology securement is very urgent for the independence of systems engineering technology and overseas advance based turnkey. In this paper, we are going to study applicable systems engineering technology focusing on LRT system based on international standard ISO/IEC 15288.

Recently domestic youth unemployment rate has increased continuously. The cause is due to construction recession. As a result, the youth unemployment rate was approximately 8.0% in 2013. In particular, graduates of civil engineers and architecture engineers are difficult to find a new job. Major construction companies also prefer new employees rather than career employees. Therefore, the employment rate of construction-related university graduates is continuing decline. Accordingly, construction and technical engineers will be aging. Therefore, this study was looking for ways to promote the overseas expansion of young construction engineers. And this research has suggested the ways which young engineers can find a new job through improving the system.

It Is indispensible to cause vibration, noise and dust to blasting and breaker operations. Since the control of these factors is supposed to be extremely difficult, the claim of compensation for material and mental damages are getting increased. Economically feasible blasting operation with controlling vibration and noise can be achieved by establishment of science-based plan, accurate operation and responsible inspection, and the application of efficient management system. It must also be remarked that the relevant applied without prejudice by the operator, and the law and regulation should be applied without prejudice by the authority concerned. In addition, the public claim against operators should be investigated in detail and the prosecution should be made under the careful onside-ration of scientific and reasonable conception. Finally, it is strongly suggested that the operations, public and authorities should make great efforts to develop higher technology in order to expand our construction market, to overseas.

The inter-korean trade volume has increased since 1989 and it reached 724million dollars in 2003. In a quantitative respect, it has grown 38 times last year compare to in 1989 but there are several problems in a qualitatively respect. First, take-in(import) with disguised origin raise a serious problem in the korea market. Second, products with made in DPRK will have difficulties to export in overseas markets. Last, take-out(export) of some product is also difficult because of catch-all issues etc. The purpose of this paper is raise a question in argument about inter-korea trade issues and hope to be studied by many brilliant scholars. We also need to understand about inter-korea trade issues and our special conditions which are a divided country.
