  • This study aimed to evaluate how universal design principles are embodied in the Public Service Center. It will be used for planning the basic materials of the interior environmental design for Public Service Center facilities and for developing ways to improve interior environments in order for them to be conveniently used. In studying a method, we conducted an Universal Design check list to evaluate interior environment, targeting five Public Service Center facilities located in Gwangju Metropolitan city. This study investigated the Universal Design suitability of center interior Public Service Center on the basis of the tools for Universal Design check list which was composed of supportive design, adaptable design, communicability, safety-oriented design, and accessible design. Through theoretically considering the services of Gwangju's old city hall public service center, which got divided into common space, public service space, waiting space and informative material space. Evaluation on universal design application level showed that those with best universal design application are supportiveness and safety in public service space, communication efficacy and safety in waiting space and safety and accessibility in informative material space and acceptability in waiting space had the lowest application level.

  • The ADF-S (AKARI Deep Field - South) toward South Ecliptic Pole is one of the deep survey fields designed for the study of Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). Owing to the easy accessibility with space missions and its low background brightness, the deep extragalactic survey was initiated by AKARI deep far-infrared observations and it will be performed by other future missions (e.g., Euclid, NISS, SPHEREx). The recent optical survey with KMTNet enabled us to identify the optical counterparts for dusty star-forming galaxies such as ULIRG, DOG, SMG. In addition, the NISS will perform the valuable spectro-photometric survey in the ADF-S. Those multi-wavelength data sets helps to trace the major galaxy population contributing to the CIB. Here, we introduce the extragalactic survey with the NISS and report the current status of the multi-wavelength extragalactic studies in the ADF-S.

  • The SNS(Social Network Service or Social Network Sites), the concept which came along with the Web2.0 is on-line service which focuses on building social network communities of people which used to be established off-line. Foreign SNS sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and domestic SNS sites such as Cyworld, Me2Day are getting popularity continuously and became one of the most important application in internet environments. Since these SNS sites have the purpose of providing infrastructure which enable all the people to share his/her interests with all the other people, it is necessary to appraise whether these sites provide convenient interfaces with proper accessibility to handicapped people and old people who are considered having difficulties in using internet. Web accessibility refers to the practice of providing equal access to people of all abilities and disabilities. If the web accessibility of a SNS site is so low that handicapped people and old people cannot use it properly, those gaps between user groups may become social problems. Therefore, the paper appraised web accessibility of Facebook and Cyworld using automatic tool, KADO-WAH 2.0 and Standard guideline, WCAG 2.0 and suggested the improvement opportunities based on the results of the appraisal.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the status of urbanization of Namyangju-Si from 2001 till 2008, analyze the correlation of the change of surrounding land use according to the change of accessibility and analyze the correlation of the change of land use. Based on the result from correlation analysis, I simulated from the view point of interactions between agents of land use and transportation accessibility by using MAS. I tried to forecast, based on space, the change of surrounding land use caused by the change of accessibility. I conducted landscape analysis by using a land registration map. Also, I conducted GIS analysis statistical analysis simulation analysis of traffic data, land use data in order to analyze the correlation of the change of surrounding land use according to the change of accessibility. I could find out a certain pattern that new roads and railroads causes the within 500m adjacent land to change into urban land use, which led me to construct a system through which land use changing phenomenon can be expected according to the change of accessibility. It is expected that it can make the best use of selecting the location where new transportation facilities are constructed.

The Effects of Distance-Accessibility to the Complex Shopping Mall of 'Lotte Mall-Suwon' on the Prices of Its Neighboring Apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City (복합쇼핑몰 '롯데몰 수원점'에 대한 거리 접근성이 수원시 권선구 내 인근 아파트가격에 미친 효과)

  • This study attempts to analyze the effects of distance-accessibility to the complex shopping mall of 'Lotte Mall-Suwon', located at the old central and catchment district of the Suwon station in the Province of Gyeonngi, on the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City by using the hierarchical and linear-difference in difference regression method. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, before construction the effects of distance-accessibility show the U-shaped pattern, suggesting that the negative external effects of noise and traffic congestion around the Suwon Station affected the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City. Second, the effects of distance-accessibility at different times, such as the construction period and after the opening, are statistically significant only in the latter, indicating the reverse U-shaped pattern unlike before the opening. This means that after the opening of the complex shopping mall its external effects as a leisure and convenience space have a positive effect on the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City. Third, the effects of distance-accessibility is at an inflection point around 1.6-1.7 kilometers, which means that the U-shaped distance-decay pattern before construction, while the reverse U-shaped pattern is shown after the opening of opening. The latter implies that apartments that are very close to the mall within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City enjoy relatively small positive externalities. Therefore, they are exposed to some negative external effects of noise and traffic congestion, but apartments with some distance apart within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City maximize those positive externalities. These results suggest that the effects to distance-accessibility are different from location to location.

  • A considerable amount of literature has been published on pedestrian LOS. So far, however, there is a limitation that LOS analysis methodologies has concentrated on quantitative variables such as pedestrian flow rate, speed and space. This paper intended to suggest the accessibility variable which can not be considered on previous study. The factor was defined and quantified using public transport attributes in particular. This study was carried out in three phases: 1. defined accessibility employing public mode location and service information. 2. investigated the relationship between accessibility and pedestrian flow rate 3. developed the model to establish the factors affected to pedestrian LOS. The results showed that accessibility, walkway attribute and land use type affected the pedestrian LOS. Especially, accessibility and commercial area ratio had negative relationship with LOS. Futhermore, pedestrian LOS declined when obstacle of bus station located on the walkway. On the contrary, LOS was upgraded when sufficient effective width or residential area was secured. These results can receive considerable critical attentions related to determination of pedestrian LOS or effective walkway width.

  • Due to their accessibility and 24-hr availability, convenience stores are an integral part of daily lives. Because they sell a limited number of products and have small shelf space, shelf space allocation and inventory replenishment are important considerations for inventory management that critically affect profit. In this paper, we propose five solutions for the vendor-managed inventory problem of convenience stores that maximize profit while considering stock-out-based product substitutions. The performance of the proposed solutions is evaluated via simulation to reflect the demand uncertainty and marketing activity.

  • In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of interference alignment(IA) in signal space in the scenario of multiple cell and multiple user cellular networks, as the feasibility issue is closely related to the solvability of a multivariate polynomial system, we give the mathematical analysis to support the constraint condition obtained from the polynomial equations with the tools of algebraic geometry, and a new distribute IA algorithm is also provided to verify the accessibility of the constraint condition for symmetric system in this paper. Simulation results illustrate that the accessibility of the constraint condition is hold if and only if the degree of freedom(DoF) of each user can be divided by both the transmit and receive antenna numbers.

  • We explore what factors influence the residential choice and mobility of people, and try to figure out the preferable residential district in Deagu. Household, housing characteristics, and neighborhood environments are considered as explanatory variables to predict the residential choice and the preferable residential district, and logit regression is used for the analysis. We found age, ownership, income, property, and education level as household characteristics, building age as housing characteristics, and accessibility to park and open space, public library and shopping mall as neighborhood environments are significant in determining residential choice of people whereas housing size, accessibility to elementary school, local market, cultural facility and gymnasium are not significant. These results imply people choose the residential district according to household characteristics as they did, as well as choose according to housing characteristics and neighborhood environments which are newly issued factors.
