Community-Based Participatory Research(CBPR) has gained attention as a public health approach to develop community health interventions to address health disparities in recognition of the community relevance of specific health issues associated with social determinants of health. It emphasizes community involvement in equal partnership with researchers and public health professionals to address community-identified needs. The characteristics and principles of CBPR discussed in this paper highlight participatory nature, capacity development, partnership building, and process-orientation of CBPR. A 6-step process model for community empowerment is then introduced as a CBPR operationalization strategy. Mixed methods research approaches are valuable in CBPR as well as process evaluation. For the application of CBPR in Korean contexts, the Diffusion of Innovation theory is suggested as a theoretical framework for implementation. Building public health partnerships between public and private sectors to create partnership synergy is a necessary condition for successful CBPR for health promotion in Korea. Accompanying critical factors for the CBPR application include: common understanding of CBPR and its values, establishment of the definition of 'community,' 'community-based' and 'participation' in community health, development of accommodating research infrastructure for CBPR, recognition of the importance of program evaluation (particularly process evaluation), and training CBPR specialists.

An architectural practice cannot help involving a social art as its own concept. Especially the school facilities are subjected to the influence of not only the educational needs and the national curriculum, but also the sociocultural context with the change of the times. This study aims to explore the commonality of school facilities and give a theoretic background to the private-public partnership for building new schools and renovating old school buildings. After it studies about the relationship between the roles of school and community, it classifies' the commonality of school facilities' into 4 categories the educational commonality, school as the public good, the esthetic functions to society and the social role as community center. Finally, this paper proposes some methods for improving the commonality of school facilities.

The primary focus of this study has been directed towards assessing the potential impact of construction method improvement on a reduction in project cost. A total of 90 actual application cases were collected from a public organization and private construction firms, and 32 cases were used in analysis by adopting a synthetic approach. The level of cost reduction was measured in terms of material and labor cost by comparing the existing method and the improved method. An analysis of the results indicates that project cost can be reduced by up to 5.26 percent compared to a normal project by adopting a synthetic approach. Additional benefits include the assurance of uniform quality, savings in terms of labor and/or materials, and improved productivity. The potential of the applicability of this approach to other types of buildings and the implications of research findings were discussed in detail.

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS), one of measures for on site rainwater management, have been promoted by laws, regulations and guidelines and have been increased. However, more evaluation of economic feasibility on RWHS is still needed due to seasonal imbalance of rainfall and little experiences and analysis on design and operation of RWHS. In this study, we investigated tank capacity of RWHS to secure economic validity considering catchment area and water demand, which is affected by building scale. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the effect of design factors, cost items and increase rate of water service charge on economic feasibility. The BCR (benefit cost ratio) is proportional to the increase in tank capacity. It is increased steeply in small tank capacity due to the effect of cost and, since then, gently in middle and large tank capacity. In case of 0.05 in the rate of tank volume to catchment area and 0.005 in water demand to catchment area, BCR was over one from the tank capacity of 160 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private benefits and from the tank capacity of 100 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private and public benefits. Sensitivity analysis shows that increase of water demand can improve BCR values with little cost so that it is needed to extend application of rainwater use and select a proper range of design factor. Decrease of construction and maintenance cost reduced the tank volume to secure economic validity. Finally, increase rate of water service charge had considerable impact on economic feasibility.

This study aims to propose a digital repository platform for academic department records in order to optimize the efficiency of collecting and utilizing academic department records in the absence of university archives and/or in circumstances of overlooking academic department records. First, the study conducted a survey on 70 staffs working in the departments of public and private universities as well as on 32 record managers in university archives about their awareness of and the situations related to academic department record management. Second, it designed the database and interface of a digital repository platform that registers and preserves academic department records effectively, and that proposes 26 essential metadata for managing academic department records. Third, this study built an academic department record repository named "Department Records Repository in the University (DRRU)" based on the OAK repository environment, with four core functions such as login, upload, search, and browse.

Nationals Assembly have experiencing unbalance between capacities and demand of parking facilities because of increasing parking demand, free parking policy, long term parking and passenger car use of workers, usage of neighborhood office workers and visitors. The lack of parking facilities cause illegal parking on the street inside and outside of National Assembly which result in the disorder of parking culture. To solve these parking problems, this study suggest parking management system to enter the National Assembly for the short term and charging parking fee, operation by private company, constructing parking building by abrogation of upper limit and construction of ground park, and so on. The study, also, suggested to strengthen weekday or 10 day shift system, to increase shuttle bus and commuting bus, to activation of Han River waterside parking area, public transportation with those new parking management system. For the conclusion, the parking problems of National Assembly should be focused more on parking management than the parking facilities supply.

This paper develops a framework for analyzing the effectiveness of broadband network from the value chain view. The value chain of broadband network is composed of activities such as broadband network building, application/equipments development, information systems utilization. The effectiveness from the interaction between these activities are defined as the effectiveness of informatization(private and public sector) and the effectiveness of IT Industry(effects on production on inducement of broadband carriers, IT equipments and service market creation, online digital contents market creation). For testing its real-world applicability, a case study is performed on the broadband network of Korea and the effectiveness of the framework for analyzing the effectiveness of broadband network is demonstrated.
