Although there has been a large volume of literature exploring the determinants of low fertility in South Korea, studies on spatial variations in fertility are scarce. This study compares the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to investigate the potential role of the spatially heterogeneous response of the total fertility rate (TFR) to sociodemographic factors. The study finds that the relationships between sociodemographic factors and TFRs in South Korea vary across 252 sub-administrative areas in terms of both magnitude and direction. This study therefore demonstrates the value of using spatial analysis for providing evidence-based local-population policy options in pursuit of a fertility rebound in South Korea. Keywords: low fertility; spatial analysis; GIS; regional fertility differentials; total fertility rate 1. Introduction In the last few decades, South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates.

  • Fertility and the Proportion of Newlyweds in Different Municipalities
    Fertility and the Proportion of Newlyweds in Different Municipalities Sang-Lim Lee Research Fellow, KIHASA Ji-Hye Lee Senior Researcher, KIHASA Introduction With the expansion in recent years of policies on low fertility and the rising concern over the potential risk of so-called “local population extinction”, inter-municipal differentials in fertility have become a subject of increasing social interest. However, the heightened interest in local-level fertility usually stops short at media-led comparisons of total fertility rates in ranking order. Comparisons of such nature seem inappropriate at best, as both the structure and dynamics of population vary across municipalities. Also, there has been a form of pervasive reductionism by which the high fertility rates of some municipalities are attributed to local government’s policy support. We attempt in this study to examine the relationship between fertility and the proportion of newlyweds in different areas. The characteristics of births to newlyweds More than 80 percent of births in Korea were attributed to couples in their first 5 years of marriage. This has been the case for more than 15 years. Almost all births to women in their late 20s were to women married 5 years or less. In women in their early 30s, a major childbearing- age group, the proportion of births to those married less than 5 years has been on the rise, as age at marriage has increased. The exceptionally high rate of births to newly married couples is traceable to the fact that most (90.3 percent) of births occurring in Korea are of first or second children (Birth Statistics for 2015, Statistics Korea).

As a result, the total saponin of 7 years old wild simulated ginseng showed the highest content of 4.5% in spring sampling wild simulated ginseng, 2.0% in summer sampling wild simulated ginseng, 1.2% in winter sampling wild simulated ginseng and 1.0% in autumn sampling wild simulated ginseng. And also, the total saponin of 10 years old wild simulated ginseng showed the highest content of 3.9% in spring sampling wild simulated ginseng, summer sampling wild simulated ginseng (1.8%), winter sampling wild simulated ginseng (1.6%) and autumn sampling wild simulated ginseng (0.6%). Therefore, the total saponin of spring sampling wild simulated ginseng was about 4.5 - 6.5 times higher than that of autumn sampling wild simulated ginseng regardless of cultivation period.

Energy transition pursues systematic changes to the low-carbon society, and it can benefit from technological and institutional advancement in smart cities. The integration of the energy transition to smart city development has not been thoroughly studied yet. The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence of smart cities’ contributions to energy transition. The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference between smart and non-smart cities in the performance of energy transition. The Smart Energy Transition Index is introduced. Index is useful to summarize the smart city component’s contribution to energy transition and to enable comparison among cities. The cities in South Korea are divided into three groups: (1) first-wave smart cities that focus on smart transportation and security services; (2) second-wave smart cities that provide comprehensive urban services; and (3) non-smart cities. The results showed that second-wave smart cities scored higher than first-wave and non-smart cities, and there is a statistically significant difference among city groups.

    Analysis of the Future Climate Change Impact on Vegetation Canopy and Growth Period June 16, 2011 Min-Ji Park, Hyung-Jin Shin, In-Kyun Jung, Gean-Ae Park Post-doctoral researcher Mi-Seon Lee Research Fellow Seong-Joon Kim Professor Dept. of Civil & Environmental System Eng. Konkuk University, South Korea Contents Introduction Study watershed SWAT model Data preparation for future climate change impact Impact of rising climate and CO2 on vegetation canopy and growth periods Conclusion Earth Information Engineering Lab. Introduction Climate change can impact the geographical dispersal and growth of different plants around the world. Leaf Area Index (LAI) is the ratio of total upper leaf surface of vegetation divided by the surface area of the land on which the vegetation grows. LAI is used to calculate the evapotranspiration and eventually affects water characteristics such as stream volume and flow, ground water levels and quality. The main goal of this study is to predict LAI by GCM scenarios and identify the change as a result of future rising temperature and CO2 using SWAT. Earth Information Engineering Lab.
