Abstract Using the annual manufacturing survey data for 1973-81, this paper documents changes in location patterns of employment in the Seoul region. The analysis shows a strong decentralization trend of manufacturing employment in the region. The 1981 manufacturing survey and the sample establishment survey conducted for the research project reveal thac the effeccs of explicit poLicy instruments on firms' location decisions were negligible. 'The paper questions the desirability of excessive decentralization policies being implemented in che presence of already prevalent decentralization trends, and it concludes that an attempt to implement such policies that do not reflect the firms' location beaavior could be prohibitively costly.

Introduction This paper has been prepared as part of a research effort at the World Bank to study the impacts of spatial policies intended to decentralize economic activity from large urban centers. The ration-ae and the historical background of such policies implemented in Korea are treated in other project papers by Kwon (1985), and Choe and Song (19b4). Ln order to formulate sound spatial policies and to implement plans and programs with less costs, it is essential for policy makers to underscand (1) the trend of employment location patterns and (2) how firms' location behavior in response to operations of the markets contributes to such trends. Using the annual manufacturing survey data for 1973-1981, this paper documents the observed changes and trends in the location patterns of manufacturing employment in the Seoul region; then, the paper reveals the degree of effectiveness of various policy instruments implemented in the region based on the results of special surveys conducted for the project; finally, some conclusions are drawn regarding the desirability of decentralization policies and implied welfare losses resulting from implementing such spatial policies. 2. Changes in Location Patterns of Population and Employment in Korea The geographic distribution of population in Korea changed markedly during the past two decades. The recent trend can be vividly summarized by the population censuses of 1975 and 1980. Table I shows that during 1975-1980, Seoul and Busan (two "special cities"), and Gyeonggi province where Seoul is located, were the only three areas that gained the share of population. The annual growth rate of population Table 1: DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION BY PROVINCE, 1975-1980 (in thousands) 1975 1980 Annual Average Persons % Persons % Growth Rate (%) Seoul 6,890 19.8 8,367 22.3 3.96 Busan 2,453 7.1 3,160 8.4 5.20 Gyeonggi 4,039 11.5 4,935 13.2 4.09 Gangweon 1,862 5.4 1,792 4.8 -0.76 Chungbug 1,522 4.4 1,424 3.8 -1.32 Chungnam 2,949 8.5 2,956 7.9 0.05 jeonbug 2,456 7.1 2,288 6.1 -1.41 Jeonnam 3,984 11.5 3,779 10.1 -1.05 Gyeongbug 4,859 14.0 4,962 13.3 0.42 Gyeongnam 3,280 9.5 3,323 8.9 0.26 Jeju 412 1.2 463 1.2 2.36 All 34,707 100.0 37,449 100.0 1.53 Data Source: Population and Housing Census, 1975, 1980, National Bureau of Statistics, Economic Planning Board. -3- was much higher there than the national average. Seoul had a net gain of 295,000 persons each year while Gyeonggi and Busan gained 179,000 and 141,000 persons per year respecti-v,ly. On the other hand, four provinces, including the southwest Jeonla region, experienced a net loss of population while other provinces had virtually no net changes with the the exception of Jeju island. Ln the late 70's, the population continued to shift to the Seoul and the Busan regions. Table 2 describes comparable changes in the distribution of manufacturing employment in Korea. Between 1973 and 1978, two manufacturing census years, Busan, Gyeonggi, and two southeastern provinces (Gyeongbug and Gyeongnam) gained the share of manufacturing employment; all other regions including Seoul lost their shares. Gyeonggi had the highest annual growth rate of manufacturing employment, almost twice the national average, while Seoul's growth rate was one of the lowest in the country. It should be noted that the growth rate of manufacturing employment in the two southeastern provinces was about four times higher than that of establishments, indicating the births of large establishments in that region which includes the Ulsan and Pohang industrial areas. 3. Changes in Location Patterns of Population and Employment in tne Seoul Region In this study the Seoul region includes the city of Seoul and Gyeonggi province where Seoul is located. Table 3 shows that during 1975-1980, the share of population between Seoul and Gyeonggi stayed constant with the same annual growth rate of about 4 percent. Within Gyeonggi province however, the six satellite cities (see Figure 1) grew Table 2: DTSTRIBUTOION OF MANUFACTURING ESTABLISIMENTS AND EMPLOYMENT BY PROVINCE, 1973-1978 Establishment Empployment 1973 1978 Annual Average 1973 1978 Annual Average Number 7 Numniber % Growth Rate(%) Persons % Persons % Growth Rate(%) Seouil 5,832 25.0 7,752 26.0 5.9 409,916 33.7 539,192 25.1 5.6 Busan 2,020 8.7 3,282 11.0 10.2 204,152 16.8 374,873 17.4 12.9 Gyeonggi 2,437 10 5 5,229 17.5 16.5 170,928 14.1 492,136 22.9 23.6 Cangweoni 849 3.6 913 3.1 1.5 18,654 1.5 23,254 1.1 4.5 Chungbug 709 3.0 692 2.3 -0.5 25,675 2.1 34,925 1.6 6.3 Chungnam 1,785 7.7 1,837 6.2 0.6 57,975 4.8 83,595 3.9 7^6 Jeonibug 1,240 5.3 1,191 4.0 -0.8 39,010 3.2 55,286 2.6 7.2 Jeonnam 2,717 11.7 2,146 7.2 -4.6 44,614 3.7 53,136 2.5 3.6 Gyeongbuig 3,886 16.7 4,621 15.5 3.5 131,949 10.9 264,072 12.3 14.9 Cyeonignain 1,588 6.8 1,944 6.5 4.1 109,588 9.0 225,817 10.5 15.6 Jeju 229 1.0 255 0.9 2.2 3,920 0.3 4,635 0.2 3.4 Other 1.

However, limited agricultural activity was allowed in the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) surrounding the DMZ. In this study, land cover and vegetation changes in the western DMZ and CCZ from 1919 to 2017 were investigated. Coniferous forests were nearly completely destroyed during the war and were then converted to deciduous forests by ecological succession. Plains in the DMZ and CCZ areas showed different patterns of land cover changes. In the DMZ, pre-war rice paddies were gradually transformed into grasslands. These grasslands have not returned to forest, and this may be explained by wildfires set for military purposes or hydrological fluctuations in floodplains. Grasslands near the floodplains in the DMZ are highly valued for conservation as a rare land type. Most grasslands in the CCZ were converted back to rice paddies, consistent with their previous use. After the 1990s, ginseng cultivation in the CCZ increased. In addition, the landscape changes in the Korean DMZ and CCZ were affected by political circumstances between South and North Citation: Kim, J.H.; Park, S.; Kim, Korea.

    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

The analysis results show that there is statistically significant evidence that supports the land price difference between the restricted area and the unrestricted area of Namyangju caused by the restriction for water quality protection. In specific, under the semi- log model, the loss rate that the restricted area experience is 15.0% of the land price of the unrestricted area. Under the double-log model, the rate is estimated to be 19.8%. Based on the results from the regression analyses of the models, the total compensations for the city of Namyangju are estimated to be in the range between 6.5 and 8.6 trillion won.

Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Seoul ATO [KS2], KS GAIN Report #KS3011 Page 1 of 8 MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROVINCIAL CITIES INTRODUCTION There are seven metropolitan cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. In order to be designated as a metropolitan city in Korea the population of the city must exceed one million. The combined population of these six metropolitan cities except Seoul (of which the city population is 10 million) is about 13 million. The Seoul-Incheon "corridor" comprises a largely urban area with a population of about 22 million people. Although the markets in the cities outside Seoul are still small, they are growing. There is potential for faster growth of imported food products in these provincial areas, while the future growth rate of the market in Seoul slows. In the past, many imported processed foods were not widely available in the retail sector of provincial metropolitan cities, but thanks to the launching of discount stores and large-scale department stores in recent years, many processed foods are now available at these outlets in these other cities.
