The unequivocal risk of climate change, the weakness of energy security, and the problem of air quality will be possibly accelerated by the same reason, the enhanced fossil fuel dependancy in the future. It is obvious that greenhouse gases and air pollutants are mainly emitted from same sources. Moreover, greenhouse gases and air pollutants have their adversed impacts on same socio-economical, and environmental sectors. With these regards, several but limited studies have emphasized on the importance of the integrated management of climate change and air quality problem. In this study, we address the current trend of energy consumption and the change of air quality condition. Also the related policies are checked out in order to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Korea. By surveying previous studies, it is shown that the cost of climate change actions can be reduced by air quality co-benefits and vis-a-versa. Also the integrated strategy for climate change and air quality is introduced in term of cost-effectiveness and co-benefit.

It is of great importance to be able to evaluate different structural systems not only based on their seismic performance but also considering their lifetime service costs. Many structural systems exist that can meet the engineering requirements for different performance levels; therefore, these systems shall be selected based on their economic costs over time. In this paper, two structural systems, including special steel moment-resisting and the ordinary concentric braced frames, are considered, which are designed to meet the three performance levels: Immediate Occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS), Collapse Prevention (CP). The seismic behavior of these two systems is studied under three strong ground motions (i.e., Tabas, Bam, Kajour earthquake records) using the Perform3D package, and the incurred damages to the studied systems are examined at two hazard levels. Economic analyses were performed to determine the most economical structural system to meet the specified performance level requirements, considering the initial cost and costs associated with damages of an earthquake that occurred during their lifetime. In essence, the economic lifetime study results show that the special moment-resisting frames at IO and LS performance levels are at least 20% more economical than braced frames. The result of the study for these building systems with different heights designed for different performance levels also shows it is more economical from the perspective of long-term ownership of the property to design for higher performance levels even though the initial construction cost is higher.

Using the case of Taegu city, this study analyses benefits and costs related to the construction of GIS to local government. For this purpose, the study uses a case study selecting Taegu Metropolitan city. In this study, four discount rates(5%, 8%, 10%, 12%) are used for sensitivity analyses. According to this benefit-cost analysis, Taegu city government could get positive net present benefits from the year of 2004 which is 6 years after its GIS construction. This a result, Provides the economical and financial validity of GIS Construition in local government. In this study, analysis of invisible benefits are excluded. If these invisible and potential benefits are included in the analysis, GIS could produce more net benefits and the even break point of GIS construction in local governments will come earlier. For the further study, the study needs to develop new benefits and utilize cost-effectiveness analysis to catch these invisible benefits.

This research carried out an analysis on input cost and leakage reduction effect by leakage reduction method, focusing on the project for establishing an optimal water pipe network management system in the Taebaek region, which has been executed annually since 2009. Based on the result, optimal cost-benefit analysis models for water distribution network rehabilitation project were developed using DEA(data envelopment analysis) and multiple regression analysis, which have been widely utilized for efficiency analysis in public and other projects. DEA and multiple regression analysis were carried out by applying 4 analytical methods involving different ratios and costs. The result showed that the models involving the analytical methods 2 and 4 were of low significance (which therefore were excluded), and only the models involving the analytical methods 1 and 3 were suitable. From the result it was judged that the leakage management method to be executed with the highest priority for the improvement of revenue water ratio was installation of pressure reduction valve, followed by replacement of water distribution pipe, replacement of water supply pipe, and then leakage detection and repair; and that the execution of leakage management methods in this order would be most economical. In addition, replacement of water meter was also shown to be necessary in case there were a large number of defective water meters.

Due to a waste of energy in korea, about 525,000 which are 75 percent of total buildings are at least 15 years old buildings that need remodeling. There are two current remodeling systems. One is a remodeling system to reduce a waste of resources from the reconstruction. The other is a green-remodeling system aimed to energy savings and reducing environmental costs. This study is to analyze quantitatively these current systems with respect to the cost-benefit caused by the life cycle and suggests the political and institutional implications through the interpretation of the results. For a quantitative analysis, we analyzed reducing maintenance costs and rent benefits with simulation by using opportunity costs, construction costs, plan costs and supervision costs as expense variables and using the reduced floor area ratio, institutional incentives, energy, water resources and certified emission reduction(CER) as benefit variables. As a result of the empirical study, the green-modeling was more beneficial in the field of environment such as the energy savings, however, the final benefits of remodeling which has no green building certification costs but more floor area ratio incentives were more economical. The green-remodeling system focused on reducing environmental costs and energy savings needs a equatable institutional incentive system.

In these days, high-strength steel prevails throughout the construction fields for the benefit of structural and economical aspects. But high-strength steel is used by the simple calculation of flexural capacities for the purpose of reducing flexural reinforcement. So, this paper is mainly focused on the shear behavior of high-strength steel reinforced concrete beams without stirrups comparing with normal-strength steel reinforced concrete beams. Specimens were made and tested with the experimental parameters, such as steel yield strength, reinforcement ratios and minimum shear reinforcement. The main result was that not only area but also the yield strength of flexural reinforcement should be considered to predict the shear capacities of concrete beams.

자연형 하천은 사용가치 뿐만 아니라 비사용적 가치를 포함하고 있기 때문에 비용편익분석에 비사용적 가치를 포함시켜야 한다. 그러지 못할 경우, 자연형 하천이 경제적 편익을 제공함에도 불구하고 경제적으로 타당성이 없는 것으로 판단될 수 있다. 본 연구는 자연형 하천의 경제적 편익을 분석하기 위하여 조건부가치평가법(CVM)을 이용하여 자연형 하천으로 조성된 전라북도 순창에 위치한 경천에 대하여 경제적 편익을 분석하였다. 연구방법은 가상적인 상황을 설정하고 여러 조건을 달아 자연형 하천에 대해 어느 정도 지불할 의사가 있는지를 설문을 통하여 분석하였다. 설문은 기본적인 속성과 환경용수, 생태계, 하천유지, 수질개선으로 구분하였고 순창읍 주민들을 대상으로 하였다. 자연형 하천으로 정비된 경천에 대해 경제적 편익을 분석한 결과 년간 약 11억원의 편익이 발생하는 것으로 추정되었다. 이와같은 결과를 이용하면 자연 친화적인 하천 정비사업을 시행할 때 합리적인 경제적 편익을 평가할 수 있으므로 사업의 타당성 평가에 이용할 수 있다.
