As is in all economic activities, the highest yield per unit area is the main goal in animal production, while addressing the temperamental needs of animals often is ignored. Animal welfare is not only an ethical fact; it also has an economic value. Spatial environmental enrichment contributes positively to animal welfare by addressing their behavioral and mental requirements. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of weaning and spatial environmental arrangements on behaviors of goat-kids. Experimental groups were arranged in structured and unstructured spatial environments. Roughage feeder, semi-automatic concentrate feeder, bunk, bridge, and wood block were placed in the structured environment. No equipment was placed in the unstructured environment and paddock sides were enclosed with an iron sheet to prevent bipedal stance and to provide environmental isolation. In the study 10 male and 10 female Turkish Saanen goat kids were used in each group. Spatial environmental arrangements did not have significant impacts on the growth performance of kids (p>0.05). All objects in the structured group were accepted by the kids. Average use ratios of roughage feeder, semi-automatic concentrate feeder, bunk, bridge and wood block were observed as 19.3%, 14.0%, 12.6%, 3.8%, and 0.7%, respectively. There were significant differences between before- and after-weaning in use of all objects except for underneath bridge ($p{\leq}0.05$). Concentrate feed consumption, locomotion, and resting behaviors in kids showed significant differences by structural group and growth period. Roughage consumption was similar between groups, while it differed by growth period ($p{\leq}0.05$). Interaction frequency was significantly higher in structured group (p = 0.0023). Playing behavior significantly differentiated based on the growth period rather than on groups ($p{\leq}0.05$). Playing behavior significantly decreased after weaning. Abnormal oral activity was significantly higher in the structured group before weaning ($p{\leq}0.05$). Despite there being no installations facilitating climbing and bipedal stance, the kids of the unstructured group were able to exhibit 1/3 as much bipedal stance behavior as the kids of the structured group through leaning over slippery paddock wall or over their groupmates. Bipedal stance behavior of unstructured group was similar before and after weaning, while bipedal stance behavior before weaning was about 2 times that of after weaning in structured group. It was concluded that unstructured environmental arrangement limited the behavior repertoire of the goat kids.

설계VE는 정확한 기능분석 및 대안창출을 통해 최상의 가치를 창출하는 조직적 노력으로써, 설계VE 수행절차에 따라 해당분야 전문가집단이 모여 VE워크샵을 반드시 특정 장소에서 일정기간 내에 수행해야 한다. 설계 VE는 준비단계, 분석단계, 실행단계로 구성하고, 각 단계별로 다양한 운용기법과 분석방법을 사용하여 기능평가, 성능평가, 아이디어평가 등을 정량적인 협의를 통해 이끌어낸다. VE팀원들은 약 3일~5일간 실시되는 워크샵 기간을 정하고 특정 장소를 지정하여 VE검토대상에 대한 가치창출의 노력을 하고 있다. 그러나 VE 프로세스를 기반으로 최상의 가치를 창출해야 하는 모든 과정을 특정한 일정 이내에 한정된 장소에서 해결하는 것은 많은 문제점이 있다. 또한 국내 VE 워크샵의 경우 설계VE 필요성을 간과하여 워크샵을 단기간 내에 진행하고 있어서, VE팀원은 제한된 시간 내에 모든 설계VE 프로세스를 수행하여야 한다. 이러한 시간과 공간의 제약에 따른 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 효율적인 설계VE 지원시스템이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 설계VE팀원의 효율적인 설계VE 업무를 지원하도록 모바일 환경기반의 설계VE 지원시스템을 개발하였다. 모바일 디바이스를 활용한 설계VE 지원 체계는 VE 워크샵 이전부터 설계도서 및 VE관련 자료를 선검토 하고, 설계VE 워크샵 일정에서 결정한 기능평가 또는 아이디어 평가결과를 워크샵 이후에도 편리하게 재수정 할 수 있도록 지원하는 시스템이다.
