The development of night tourism is one of the crucial means to enrich and prosper the night-time economy. Recently, as a popular topic of sustainable development, night tourism has received extensive attention. However, little attention has been paid to night tourism, especially from the emotional perspective of tourists. Furthermore, discussions on how and why tourists become interested in night tourism are still lacking. To fill the research gap, based on the theory of experience economy, we used the concept of lovemarks to explore the influence of tourists’ tourism experience and lovemarks on their brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 487 tourists of “Cultural Heritage Night”, a night tourism brand in South Korea. The results indicate that tourists’ entertainment and educational experience significantly influence their lovemarks (both of brand love and respect), and esthetic experience only significantly influences brand respect.

  • Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea
    land Article Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea Hyun Il Choi Department of Civil Engineering, Yeungnam University, 280 Daehak-Ro, Gyeongsan 38541, Gyeongbuk, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-810-2413 Abstract: Torrential rainfall events associated with rainstorms and typhoons are the main causes of flood-related economic losses in Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea. The frequency and severity of flood damage have been increasing due to frequent extreme rainfall events as a result of climate change. Rainfall is a major cause of flood damage for the study site, given a strong relationship between the probability of flood damage over the last two decades and the maximum rainfall for 6 and 24 h durations in the 18 administrative districts of Gangwon Province. This study aims to develop flood damage regression models by rainfall identification for use in a simplified and efficient assessment of flood damage risk in ungauged or poorly gauged regions. Optimal simple regression models were selected from four types of non-linear functions with one of five composite predictors averaged for the two rainfall datasets. To identify appropriate predictor rainfall variables indicative of regional landscape features, the relationships between the composite rainfall predictor and landscape characteristics such as district size, topographic features, and urbanization rate were interpreted. The proposed optimal regression models may provide governments and policymakers with an efficient flood damage risk map simply using a regression outcome to design or forecast rainfall data. Citation: Choi, H.I. Development of Keywords: flood damage; rainfall; landscape; simple regression; damage risk map Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea.

Gnezdilova Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pr. Akademika Lavrentieva 17, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Cultural Interaction Patterns in the Bronze Age: Ritual Bronze Artifacts from Korea and Japan This study focuses on ritual bronze items that are very informative for reconstructing cultural ties and migrations between Korea and Japan from 400 BC to 300 AD. Their large-scale introduction to Korea is related to the culture of Korean-type daggers, whose distribution center was located in northwestern Korea. We give a detailed description of Bronze Age artifacts, including weapons and ritual items from that area. These occur mostly in single burials of complex construction, possibly attesting to high social status. In Japan, Korean-type artifacts fi rst appear in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi age, in burials with wooden coffi ns and urns. The analysis of molds for casting narrow-bladed daggers, socketed spearheads, and picks suggests that Korean-type items spread from northern Kyushu. Late Yayoi ritual bronze artifacts include mostly mirrors of the Han type, evidently indicating migrations from the mainland. Keywords: Ritual bronze items, Bronze Age, Korea, Japan, cultural interaction. Introduction culture of Korean-type daggers (4th–1st centuries BC) (Lee Chong-gyu, 2007: 120–124). Its initial center was The Bronze Age was an important period in the history located in the territory of Wiman Joseon in the basin of the of the peoples who lived in East Asia.

  • The Jinin of the Sea
    Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v9n1 — Kim Saviors who come from the Sea and Earth: e Jinin (眞⼈) of Korea and Miroku (ミロク) of Japan Sung-Soon Kim Center for Religious Studies, Seoul National University, Korea [email protected] Publication Information: Received 23 April 2020, Accepted 1 May 2020, Available online 29 June 2020 DOI: 10.21463/jmic.2020.09.1.06 Abstract This article attempts a historical comparative study between the Maitreya faith in early modern Korea and the Mirokukami faith in the Okinawa and Kashimi area of Japan. In Buddhist teachings, Maitreya is a savior figure who will descend to earth 5,670,000,000 years after Buddha Śākyamuni’s ascent to nirvana. In the East Asian Buddhist sphere, believers facing what they believed to be the end of the world endowed Maitreya with the image of a political leader and earthly savior. Stone statues of Maitreya stuck in the earth became idols of worship by common people. In contrast, Maitreya of the sea emerged as the image of a political leader who could overthrow the king. In the areas of Okinawa and Kashimi, Maitreya of the ocean appeared in the form of Mirokukami. Mirokukami rode a divine ship and brought Mirokunoyo (meaning good harvest) to the people. In the Ryukyu Islands, Hotei—as an embodiment of Maitreya—fulfilled the role of Mirokukami and combined elements of the ocean paradise Nirai Kanai, indigenous harvest deities, and Maitreya belief. For island villagers, a plentiful rice harvest was equated with salvation, and therefore they held village festivals meant to call up Maitreya’s ship from a paradise far out at sea.

The platacanthomyine rodent Neocometes from the Miocene of South Korea and its paleobiogeographical implications. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 55 (4): 581–586. A left first lower molar of Neocometes from the Bukpyeong Formation, South Korea is more similar to Neocometes similis and Neocometes cf. similis from Europe than to Neocometes orientalis from Thailand, and is therefore referred to Neocometes aff. similis. The new discovery of Neocometes is important in that it is the first evidence in Asia to show close faunal affinity to European Neocometes. It is also of paleobiogeographic significance for the subfamily Platacantho− myinae, because it represents the easternmost occurrence of this subfamily in Eurasia, implying there was continuous gene flow between the Neocometes populations of eastern Asia and western Europe. The paleoclimatic interpretation for the Bukpyeong Formation based on the palynomorphs implies that Neocometes had wider climatic tolerances than either of the two extant platacanthomyine genera. The evolutionary stage of Korean Neocometes is comparable to material from European localities correlated with MN 4 and MN 5, which constrains the age of the Bukpyeong Formation to between 18 and 15.2 Mya.

  • The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea.Pdf
    The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea by Byoung-Ik Min A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2013 Keywords: city-county consolidation, technical efficiency, financial status, disparity, local government size, boundary Copyright 2013 by Byoung-Ik Min Approved by Cynthia J. Bowling, Chair, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Steven Brown, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Hua Xu, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Keren Deal, Professor of Accounting Abstract In 1994, the South Korean central government initiated a massive merger of city and county governments, and during the next two years, a total of 40 consolidated cities were established. Following the city-county consolidations, there has been significant debate regarding whether the local mergers achieved the desired effect. This study seeks to determine whether the technical efficiency of the consolidated governments improved following the mergers, whether their financial status improved, and whether the disparities between the urban and rural areas were reduced. The literature review in this study identifies the most significant literature and the most prominent theories pertaining governmental size and boundary. It also highlights local governmental consolidation studies previously conducted in both the U.S. and South Korea. Finally, it describes the South Korean local governmental structure, and discusses the process of the city-county consolidations that took place in South Korea from 1994 through 1995. To facilitate the research and analysis related to the city-county consolidations in South Korea, this study has identified and tests the following three hypotheses: •H1: The technical efficiency of consolidated governments improved following the city-county consolidations.
