Public institutions have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their employees and the public. One way to do this is to implement a systematic safety inspection system based on risk assessments and continuous improvements. This study developed a systematic safety inspection system for public institutions that are ordered construction projects. The proposed system in this study consists of a three-step process: (1) developing safety grade evaluation tables, (2) preparing and conducting safety inspections, and (3) evaluating and improving safety management grades. The first step is to develop safety grade evaluation tables by analysis and diagnosis of the construction site's work type, disaster statistics, and related laws. The second step is to conduct safety inspections using the developed evaluation tables. The third step is to determine the safety management grade based on the results of the safety inspection, and to improve risk factors found during the safety evaluation. The proposed system was implemented in highway construction projects carried out by public institutions. The results showed that the proposed system has two major effects: (1) reducing accident-related deaths and injuries, (2) improving safety management levels by continuous evaluation and improvement. The proposed system can be utilized in construction projects ordered by public institutions to improve the level of occupational safety and health.

This study is focused on the public developer's role of urban regeneration projects in Japan to derive implications for economy-based-urban regeneration programs by the Special Act on Activation and Support for Urban Regeneration (Urban Regeneration Special Act). 4 case studies; Otemachi 1-1, Shinonome, Shibuya Station and Osiage-Narihirabashi were delivered to review public sectors' roles. Central government, local government and public developer play key roles each step. Urban Regeneration Special Act doesn't set up public sector's role to deliver urban regeneration projects after establishment of master plan. These cases build the governance organization to deliver urban regeneration projects among diverse interest groups including private sectors and landowners. Especially, public developers play a key role as a coordinator and a developer throughout whole urban regeneration projects.

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the importance of information protection is increasing day by day with the advent of the 'hyper-connection society', and related government financial investment is also increasing. The source of the government's fiscal investment projects is taxpayers' money. Therefore, the government needs to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the project by comparing the public benefits created by the financial investment projects with the costs required for it. At present, preliminary feasibility study system which evaluates the feasibility of government financial investment projects in Korea has been implemented since 1994, but most of them have been actively carried out only in some fields such as large SOC projects. In this study, we discuss the feasibility evaluation of public projects for the purpose of information security. we introduce the case study of the personal information protection program of Korean public institutions and propose a cost-effectiveness analysis method that can be applied to the feasibility study of the information protection field. Finally, we presented the feasibility study and criteria applicable in the field of information security.

Public private partnership (PPP) procurement was introduced into Singapore in 2003, and 10 PPP projects was successfully completed and have been in operation. The objective of this study is to identify the critical risk factors and risk allocation preferences for PPP projects in Singapore. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive literature review was carried out and 42 risks were identified and grouped into three meta levels, i.e. macro, meso and micro levels. The questionnaire survey produced 48 completed questionnaires from 48 different contractors. The survey results indicated that 23 risk factors had significantly high criticalities and that four macro-level risks, four meso-level risks and two micro-level risks were among the top 10 risk ranking. "Lack of support from government", "availability of finance" and "construction time delay" were perceived as the top three critical risks. Also, the result implied that micro-level risks had a higher criticality mean score than macro-level and meso-level risks. The findings of this study help both public and private sectors to better understand the risks and their allocation in PPP projects, providing valuable information for organizations that intend to participate in PPP projects in Singapore.

These days, design has been used a very useful means to achieve differentiated urban images and establish the identity of a city, and as an effort to specialize local industries through design, public design projects are competing one another. However, the projects have considerable negative effects because of diverse reasons such as unorganized procedures. For continuous and organized projects which meet demands of the interested persons of public design, reasonable design management should be introduced with a use of design as a strategic means of management Therefore, this study examined the concepts of design management and its meaning in space and analysed cases of implementing components for management of public design projects. It searched for the factors of design management indicating design-oriented management and presented a strategy model which complements design-oriented management. The results of the study are presented as follows: First, strategic implementing components needed for a space design management process were obtained. A design recognition process aimed at what space aims at and needed to identify active components such as physical and indigenous environment. A design inquiry process included problem solution considering characteristics of multi-dimensional space active components, design development considering behavioral functions of humans, checklists needed to complete design and necessary components to institutionalize design. For definition of project space, guideline projects of public design should be progressed in the same context as urban design, and developmental directions of public design needed design inquiry in terms of space to create various experiences in space.

Recently, ever-growing land price has caused public projects to come to considerable deadlocks. Up to date, project principals have relied upon mandatory expropriation policy or other relevant policies in order to procure land sites required for public projects in a short period, but these policies have brought about collective resistances and civil appeals from land owners and cause land compensation price to rise, resulting in delayed progress of public projects. Therefore, land banking system is enforced to resolve these issues. Successful implementation of land banking system requires purchase of sufficient land sites at affordable price so as to execute public projects and control real estate market. However, current version of Land Banking Act reveals several questions as contrary to public expectations in the days of its introduction. This study sought to make further analysis on the whole content of current legal system concerning land banking system. And based on the analysis, this study explored possible solutions for problems that hinder land banking system from its stable operations, so that this land banking system could contribute to resolving land problems by active promotion of public projects as originally intended and by the stabilization of land market based on balance control between supply and demand of land.

The object of this study is to elicit major success factors along with the phases of implementing the BPR in case of public corporations. To obtain the goal of this research, (1) this study reviews and integrates the major previous BPR studies and shows critical success factors of implementing BPR projects coincided with the characteristics of the public organizations. (2) This study has analyzed and arranged the details of BPR projects of public corporations in South Korea through the literature survey, the questionnaire and the interview. (3) This study classifies 40 critical success factors which were identified in existing studies into ones belonging to 3 phases of BPR projects implementation: Introduction Phase, Execution Phase and Stabilization Phase. (4) This study has tested the relation between critical success factors on each stage of BPR projects implementation and the performance variables. It has proven that there is the statistically significant correlation between the success factors and the performance. The findings of this study are thought not only to be useful as a practical guideline in carrying out BPR project Implementation but also to provide significant basis for constructing the theoretical framework of effective BPR project implementation strategy.

This research is an effort to clarify the causes associated with the 'failure' of public housing projects built in the 20th century. Two of the most brutal symbol of failure were selected: the Pruitt-Igoe built in St. Louis, U.S.A. and the Bijlmermeer in the south of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Many critics have attributed the problems of the selected housing projects to architectural failure, and proposed a series of new approaches to architectural design. The claim that many housing projects 'failed' because they were based on an agenda for social reform, derived from the ideas of the CIAM, presupposes that architects were in the position of authority over providing housing for the poor. This research tries to overturn the belief of architectural community which has placed the responsibility for the failure of public housing on designers. The sense of isolation and powerlessness felt by the residents, and the social problems attendant on those feelings, may be reinforced by design but is not caused by Modern Architecture. It should be stressed that the political-economic and social context is more significant than the architectural design for the failure of public housing projects such as the Pruitt-Igoe and the Bijlmermeer.

The levels of unemployment and poverty are extremely high and two of South Africa's most pressing problems. There is also a widely acknowledged need for housing and municipal infrastructure (water supply, sewerage, streets, storm water drainage, and electricity, refuse collection). From a theoretical perspective supported by experience elsewhere in Africa, there are reasons for considering that properly formulated employment creation programmes based on the use of labour-intensive methods could be established to construct and maintain the required physical infrastructure, thus creating employment, skills and institutional capacities. Over the past 30 years several projects have been initiated in South Africa to counter unemployment and poverty. Given the socio-economic conditions and political objectives (regarding development, employment creation and alleviation of poverty), it is anticipated that future large-scale construction projects will be proposed by the public sector (National, Provincial and Local Government). The paper will first examine the main tenets of the implementation of development projects through the use of labour-intensive construction and a description of progress elsewhere in Africa and their potential contribution which public works programmes could make to alleviate the poverty and unemployment problems. The research will then analyse the successes and challenges that have been experienced in South Africa in relation to the implementation of development projects over the past 30 years. The paper closes with recommendations and lessons for the future.
