EERE(Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy)는 미국 DOE(Department of Energy)의 산하기관으로 에너지 효율화와 신재생에너지 정책 전반의 기획 및 프로그램 평가를 담당하고 있다. EERE에서 수행하는 평가 Tool중 가장 일반적으로 쓰이는 것은 General program evaluation(프로그램 일반 평가)인데 여기서는 크게 다섯 가지의 세부 평가 방법을 제시하고 있다. 이중 Impact evaluation은 기술 확산이론(diffusion of innovations)를 이론적 토대로 하고 있는 보급 및 R&D프로그램의 평가 방법론이다. 이는 프로그램 성과를 높은 수준으로 정량화 시킬 수 있으며 특히 외부효과들을 제외한 순수한 프로그램의 결과만을 도출하는 것을 평가의 목표로 하고 있어 실제 성과분석에서 매우 유용하게 사용된 다. Impact evaluation의 시행은 Impact evaluation framework라 불리는 일련의 과정을 거쳐 실시되는데 이것은 체계적인 평가를 돕고 평가 전반의 신뢰도를 높이는 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 Impact evaluation 방법론을 심도 있게 고찰하고 이를 통해 국내 신재생에너지 정책평가로의 적용가능성을 살펴보았다.

The aim of this study is to suggest the introduction of family impact analysis. Family impact analysis is needed to evaluate family policies from the family perspective. This study deals with the definition of family impact analysis and the cases of other impact analysis, such as gender impact assessment and employment impact analysis. In addition, this study suggests the introduction of family impact analysis with evaluation methods, evaluation indicators, and evaluation processes. Evaluation methods are divided into self-assessment and specific-assessment. Evaluation indicators need to be developed based on the family strength. This research also suggests the securing of family time as a basic assessment indicator. The evaluation processes consist of object selection, assessment, evaluation report, and policy improvement. Finally, this study suggests that family impact analysis is a strong strategy for promoting family-friendly policies. In order to introduce family impact analysis in a more systematic manner, further studies on the standards of assessment, formation of research institutions, and the legislative system will be necessary.

Floor impact noise isolation performance of reinforced concrete floors was investigated through new measurement method using impact bail. Strong impact force in Bow frequency band below 63 Hz of bang machine is not similar to human impact source and causes some problem in evaluating heavy-weight Impact noise but heavy-weight impact noise measurement and evaluation using impact ball which is very similar to human impact is more reliable than bang machine. Correction value on the background noise and sensitivity of residents should be considered on the floor impact noise evaluation classes.

In this study, metrics for evaluation of heavy-weight impact noise were investigated. Heavy-weight impact noises generated by impact ball were recorded in real apartments using binaural microphone. Those sounds were classified into three groups according to frequency characteristics in order to control aspects which affect subjective responses to heavy-weight impact noise. Sound sources for auditory experiment were selected based on the classification result. Then auditory experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship between level indices and subjective responses. The results showed that $L_{Aeq},\;L_{Amax}$ and $LL_z$ as well as $L_{iFmax,AW}$ were highly correlated with subjective response. Therefore, $L_{Aeq}$ and $L_{Amax}$ can be used as metrics for evaluation of heavy-weight impact noise. In further studies, it is needed to verify classification of heavy-weight impact noise generated by bang machine and impact ball.

During the last two decades, impact factor has been widely used as a journal evaluation metric that differentiates the influence of a specific journal compared with other journals. However, impact factor does not provide a reliable metric between journals in different subject categories. For example, higher impact factors are given to biology and general sciences than those assigned to other traditional engineering and social sciences. This study initially analyzes the trend of the time series of the impact factors of the journals listed in Journal Citation Reports during the last decade. This study then proposes new journal evaluation metrics that adjust the impact factors across different subject categories. The proposed metrics possibly provides a consistent measure to mitigate the differences in impact factors among subject categories. On the basis of experimental results, we recommend the most reliable and appropriate metric to evaluate journals that are less dependent on the characteristics of subject categories.

In this study, evaluation was carried out for reduction method of floor impact noise through field test and the effective methods for heavy impact noise were proposed. As a field test, impact noise reduction materials such as EPP, EEPS, EVA, PE and so on, did not satisfied the recommandation value at the condition of 150mm thickness concrete slab. The evaluation results for those materials by 'inverse A curve' showed $53\sim55dB$ at heavy impact noise and $53\sim58dB$ at light impact noise. But, two methods proposed by authors were evaluated $47\sim50dB$ at heavy Impact noise and $54\sim58dB$ at light Impact noise on the similar concrete slab thickness.

The aims of this study were to Investigate the floor impact noise isolation performance of floating floor with isolation materials and propose the improvement direction of floor impact noise measurement method and evaluation classes using impact ball. Reduction of light-weight impact sound pressure level can be achieved by the finishing materials, such as vinyl finishing material and wooden flooring with isolation materials. Floor impact noise Isolation material which satisfy the properties of the floor impact noise isolation materials cause resonance in the low frequency band and worsen heavy-weight impact sound pressure level. Heavy-weight impact sound level can be reduced by using noise reduction flooring, ceiling and increase of slab thickness. Strong impact force in low frequency bang below 63Hz of bang machine is not similar to human impact source and causes some problem in evaluating heavy-weight impact noise but heavy-weight impact noise measurement and evolution using impact ball which is very similar to human impact is more reliable than bang machine. Correction value on the background noise and sensitivity of residents should be considered on the floor impact noise evaluation classes.

In this studies, subjective evaluation of heavy-weight floor impact sound through classification was conducted. Heavyweight impact sounds generated by an impact ball were recorded through dummy heads in apartment buildings. The recordings were classified according to the frequency characteristics of the floor impact sounds which are influenced by the floor structure with different boundary conditions and composite materials. The characteristics of the floor impact noise were investigated by paired comparison tests and semantic differential tests. Sound sources for auditory experiment were selected based on the actual noise levels with perceptual level differences. The results showed that roughness and fluctuation strength as well as loudness of the heavy-weight impact noise had a major effect on annoyance.

The purpose of this study was to present the possible use of a new standard impactor, the rubber ball(so called, impact ball), and to assess its evaluation method as for heavy-weight impact in multi-story residential buildings, Several experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the impact on noise propagation in reinforced concrete buildings. Then, the noise from the impact ball was psychoacoustically evaluated. The correlation between the L-value evaluation methods and auditory responses was also investigated. Results show that the ball noise is quite similar to the jumping noise. The noise level of ball is even higher than the bang machine noise, although it has much lower impact force. It was also found that L-indexing seems to bge inappropriate for evaluation of ball noise.

Electronic Speckle Pattern for quantitative evaluation of a impact defect inside of composite material plate are described. The impact on composite material makes inside delamination which is difficult to detect visual inspection and ultrasonic testing due to non-homeogenous structure. This paper proposes the quantitative evaluation technique of defects under real impact. Artificial defects are designed inside of composite plate for development of inspection technique and real defects under impact are inspected and compared with results of visual inspection.
