Abstract
Starting with the industrialization and economic development of Korea in 1970, the infrastructure and architectural structures built have aged and become a social problem. Representatively, as of 2018, 240,000 out of about 610,000 buildings were completed, and about 39.3% of them were surveyed. The collapse of a commercial building in Yongsan in 2018 raised awareness of the safety inspection of small-scale old buildings. The maintenance and management of small-scale old buildings in the blind spot of the existing "Facility Safety Act" proposes the standards and manuals for safety inspection methods under the "Building Management Act" enacted (2019).
 This study was conducted for the purpose of studying maintenance improvement plans by improving safety inspections of old buildings. The subjects of the study were 201 engineers working in safety diagnosis institutions and related industries from October 20, 2021 to November 9, 2021. In the hypothesis of the study, the hypothesis that the adequacy of service consideration criteria and the competence and career of responsible engineers will affect maintenance in safety inspection to extend the usability and life of small-scale buildings was verified. To this end, the consideration standard and the capability of the responsible engineer were set as sub-factors of maintenance and management, which are dependent variables, as sub-factors of safety inspection method improvement. As a result of the hypothesis verification of the study, a significant influence relationship was verified on the ground inspection, structural inspection, and non-structural inspection of the responsible engineer's competency and career. The criteria for consideration for safety inspection were significant for ground inspection and structural inspection, but were rejected because they were not statistically significant in the relationship between the impact of non-structural inspection. This is because the safety inspection consideration criteria are indirectly linked to the inspection manual and checklist of the non-structural inspection.
 It is currently a global trend for many countries to accept maintenance costs as essential costs for improving economic power and preventing disasters, and the size of the safety inspection and diagnosis market will continue to expand in the future. Accordingly, it is necessary to prepare for globalization by preemptively establishing a safety inspection management system and continuous technology development to preoccupy the domestic market and develop competitiveness.
