In order to establish railway long-tenn safety policy, various railway safety indexes are required. But these indexes are not use efficiently due to the limitation of safety information. Recently m any safety related information have been obtained based on Railway Safety Act 2004. In this study, various safety index, which can be applied both preventive safety activities and safety measure development, are proposed. These safety indexes are based on common safety index in European Railway Agency, but also include special index in Korea. Proposed safety index include accident results, precursors to accident, infrastructure, accident cost and safety management system. These indexes will be applied in railway industry from 2009.

To attain the rich and comfortable human living, much development and economic growth are needed. But the radical development destroys natural environments or resources, and also the life environments are destroyed. How to maintain the balance between development and environments forms an important problem. Since 1955, a great deal of damage has been done to human being by the pollution of air, water or noise in Japan, for example, Minamata-byo (1956), arsenical poisoning by mkil (1955), Cd-I taiitai-byo (1955), asthma by air pollution, etc. Now, there are over 100,000 sick persons suffering from pollution in Japan. To prevent the pollution, the first act was made 1967, the kind of which were defined as follow:air, water, soil, noise, vibration ground subsidence, and bad smell. Laws on these were established 1970∼1981, and the environments here ave gradually being improved. The mentioned above gituation necsesitates the measuring or chemical analysis of pollution data, but the many cost is necessary to obtain such data. The special environment measuring certifier was needed and the Measurement Law was amended 1974. Some comment will be given of the present condition of environmental measuring certifier.

Recently Korea has imported and executed Performance Based Design for the method to settle the dangerousness on outbreak of fire of high-rise building. The overseas country's PBD is autonomic but It is unable to carry out the essential role of PBD as the performance based design that based the code based design in the domestic. Also It occurs the problems that different the classification standard of building as dualisation between the building code and the fire services act. In this study, We have investigated overseas's cases for the PBD of high-rise building and have drawn the improvement direction & the problem of domestic's PBD by comparing and the analysing the domestic regulation.

Museum has been advanced according to the change of the society, playing a role of social education for people as a public place. However, many museum have limited which does not allow the museum to act various roles for public needs such as resting, entertaining, educating. Accordingly, this research has intention to solve the problem that the museum cannot satisfy public various needs by functional adaptation of the space; the theory of variable space. The objective of this research is to try to find the problems and solutions from museum space through research about Spatial variability and to analyze expression special quality of museum that is used as variable. Therefore, this research is to lay the foundation of Variable application technique of educational space of museum hereafter.

A movement for higher productivity is very important of the basis for industry society prosperity. Contineous productivity improvement have a right understanding of a conception of productivity and its effect that are removed an act before the trouble of higher productivity enforcement. It is that the theoretical principle of productivity improvement are harmonized of the stage of application, actual problems and considered a special characteristic of the enterprise in industry for contineous productivity improvement. A movement for higher productivity is used by way of a welfare society.

According to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's 2018 Education Statistics, there are 4,692 schools in Korea, and most of them were built before 1985 and the aging of facilities due to earthquake and external environment has reached a serious point and are vulnerable to safety. The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education designated 2,561 buildings with floor space of 1,000 square meters or more under the "Special Act on Safety and Maintenance of Facilities (2018.1.18. Full Revision)" and conducted regular safety inspections. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evaluation of school facilities according to the results of a regular safety inspection and to propose a maintenance plan for educational facilities for future defects according to the conditions of the facilities.

U.S. lawmakers tend to organize sub-party groups focusing on regions, ideologies, policies, and foreign affairs. Examples include the conservative Freedom Caucus loyal to Trump and the Congressional Black Caucus promoting the interests of African Americans. Then how do these legislative groups affect the making of U.S. foreign policy? Paying special attention to the Korea caucus in U.S. Congress, we have analyzed the sources and processes of congressional caucus and foreign policy and have learned that structures and activities of the caucuses differ from one another. The Korea caucus seems to be a bipartisan group that focuses on issues such as trade, travel, and troubles provoked by Pyongyang. However, the Korea caucus is not really a solid voting bloc for policy alternatives; it is instead more of a constituency-oriented legislative group that prioritizes local interests. This research underscores the need for systematic and comprehensive study of U.S. legislative politics and foreign policy.

Although the National Intelligence Service Act has been amended considering the growing importance of economic counterintelligence, a clear interpretation of certain provisions and improvement of the effectiveness of economic counterintelligence are required. This article presents some suggestions for regulations on economic counterintelligence. Firstly, the meaning of the term "disturbance of economic order in connection with foreign powers" will become clear by interpreting it with the terms of the Counterintelligence Duty Regulation and by setting categories referring to the U. S. regulations. Secondly, counterintelligence authorities' request for cooperation may be reinforced by amending relevant regulations or by applying a special procedure for the acquisition of data. Finally, strengthened punishment for activities in connection with foreign powers may improve the efficiency of counterintelligence. For these reasons, this paper aims to present a direction for the future, focusing on this new economic counterintelligence.

Since a lot of fugitive dust is generated at construction and civil engineering construction sites in Korea, the fine dust regulation at construction sites has been strengthened in accordance with the implementation of the Special Act on Fine Dust Reduction. In a construction site, water is generally sprayed to temporarily reduce the generation rate of scattered dust, but there is a problem that when water evaporates, it scatters again. In this study, the performance of a scattering dust inhibitor incorporating a polymer that stabilizes the ground and reduces the rate of scattering dust by forming a polymer film even when water evaporates using a polymer and a surfactant was evaluated.

The conventional method of structural seismic design was based on increasing structural capacity, which usually didn't reduce earthquake seismic effects. By changing the philosophy of structure design, technologies such as passive seismic control have been used in structures. So far, a large number of seismic isolation systems have been introduced to dissipate earthquake energy that is applied to a structure. These systems act against earthquakes rather than increasing the strength and capacity of the structure. In the present paper, a suspended column called a "pendulum column" is investigated, and a new idea has been considered to improve the performance of the pendulum column isolator by changing the gravity effect by adding a spring under the isolator system. The behavior of the studied isolator system has been researched. Then the isolator system was investigated under different earthquakes and compared with a common pendulum column isolator. The results show that changing the gravity effect has an effective role in the response of the system by reducing the system stiffness. Equations for the system showed that even in a special state, complete isolation is possible. Finally, the tested model verified the theory.
