The efficiency and safety of social-overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures have become an eminent social concern. In this regard, a continuous structural health monitoring has been widely implemented to oversee the robustness of such public infrastructures for the safety of the public. This paper deals with the analysis of a distributed mobility management (DMM) support for wireless sensor network (WSN) based information transmission system. The partial DMM support separates the data and control plane infrastructures, wherein, the control plane is managed by a particular mobility management network entity, while the data plane is distributed by the mobility anchors. The system will be able to optimize the information transmission for a wireless structural health monitoring of SOC public infrastructures specifically designed for bridges, and thus, guarantees the safety of public commuters.

Nowadays, distributed mobility management (DMM) approaches have been widely adopted to address the limitations of centralized architectural methods to support seamless data transmission schemes in wireless sensor networks. This paper deals with the end-to-end (E2E) integration of Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol in distributed wireless sensor network systems in structural health and environmental monitoring of social overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures such as bridges, national highways, tunnels, and railroads. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the features of both the NEMO basic support protocol and partially distributed network-based DMM framework in providing seamless data transmission and robust mobility support. The E2E seamless data transmission scheme allows mobile users to roam from fixed-point network access locations and mobile platforms (i.e., vehicles such as cars, buses, and trains) without disconnecting its current sessions (i.e., seamless handover).

Recently, one of countermeasures against aging SOC infrastructures, performance-focused management including the serviceability, functionality, durability, and economics has been changed from the structural safety-focused evaluation has changed into The current inspection and diagnosis for the major SOC facilities in Korea has been carried out by the specific principle of details, and most of them checked by the visual inspection are focused on the repair and rehabilitation of the damaged structures, thus they are the preventive maintenance. However, the performance-focused management should be replaced for the effective and economic maintenance as wells as for the minimization of the damage. In this regard, this study the appropriacy of the current evaluation items about the concrete retaining wall, one of SOC infrastructures as the previous step forward the performance-focused management. In order to deduct the effective evaluation items in order, the entropy, analytic hierachy process (AHP), and promethee analysis were peformed and the results were compared and discussed.

Main infrastructures, such as levee, dam, bridge, road, etc., are very important due to not only the means of support for social and industrial activities in normal situation but also the means of protection of life and property during disaster occurrence. In spite of this importance of infrastructures, however, any disaster management systems that actively use these infrastructures are not developed yet. Moreover, infrastructures are not usually included in emergency action plans, thus it occurs second and third impact on communities and industries due to collapsing or damage of infrastructures. Therefore, the authors in this paper analyzed previous research, SWOT, STEEP, and patents and technical journals and conducted a technology need survey ni order to understand the trend of disaster management system as well as suggest main research fields and detail research items. The results of this paper will be a foundation of developing an advanced infrastructure integrated system of maintenance and disaster mitigation and contribute our nation to have an active response system by using infrastructure.

As the national competitive power indicator, the infrastructures have been constructed with government's SOC budgets. However, even SOC budget is decreased, Public-Private Partnership Project (PPP project) has been introduced to solve demands on extending infrastructures, and among PPP projects, road projects take high portions. This study analyzes the operation & management item of financial model which is connected to the O&M cost and project proposal of previously proposed road project and analyzes the Korea Expressway Co.,'s project cost items and O&M tasks to reflect the characteristics of road projects. Based on results, this study suggests necessity of the O&M cost breakdown structure and the cost calculation standard on each cost item. Also, for the existing task execution tools, O&M cost calculation tool and finance analysis task tool will be integrated, and the system is suggested web-based system. Thus, it is expected that it contributes to the securing overall business values on PPP project and expending profit-base infrastructures.

Living infrastructure facilities are concentrated in cities with high population density, it is necessary to supply basic living infrastructure facilities to promote welfare in rural areas. The establishment of basic living infrastructure is the minimum right for daily living of local residents. It is supplied by considering national economic and social characteristics through national minimum standards, but it is limited to be practically applied to rural areas where many villages are dispersed in large areas. There is a situation. Therefore, it is necessary to supply systematic and quantitative facilities by analyzing villages that do not meet the minimum standards of basic living infrastructure in rural areas and by considering their characteristics. The purpose of this study is to identify the basic living infrastructure facilities of village units and analyze the characteristics of each village for Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.

Damage of national infrastructures not only endangers the structural safety, but also has a direct and indirect influence on national economy and society. Since the influence of damage has been enhanced in the metropolitan areas, the infrastructures in danger should be identified and managed under disaster situations. This study suggests the importance factors for national infrastructures, calculates weights for the factors through AHP analysis, and develops the importance evaluation system for national infrastructures. The evaluation system provides the priority of infrastructures for local governments and facility managers and enables management based on the degree of importance in emergency situations. After disasters, the evaluation system will support a systematic decision-making for recovery priorities with a limited budget.

The private investment on the SOC facilities is a worldwide tendency since it can supplement the insufficient investment of public finance in the construction of infrastructures. Alter the formulation of private investment law, private sector's investment on roads, harbors and environmental facilities are being progressed considerably. However, railway construction by private sector is not active comparing to the former areas because of huge investment for construction but relatively low and unpredictable benefit in operation. This paper reviews the financial, social and institutional aspects on the private investment for SOC projects, especially railway projects. Also, this paper tries to find the desirable way to expedite the private investment on railway project,. Conclusively, the paper propose that the private sector in railway projects is better constituted with financial investor and the private financing could be. activated and settled if a stable minimum benefit on their investment being ensured institutionally, for example, by BTL.
