  • The Rise of China with Cultural Soft Power in the Age of Globalization
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, May 2018, Vol. 8, No. 5, 763-778 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.05.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rise of China with Cultural Soft Power in the Age of Globalization WU You School of Foreign Studies/ Center for Global Studies, Shanghai University Culture has been exerting an even greater influence on China’s image construction and nation branding in today’s globalizing world. As “culture” is the core of Chinese soft power strategy, the concept of “soft power” has been redefined as “cultural soft power” in the Chinese context. Cultural instruments, including the Chinese language as well as traditional and popular cultures, are widely implemented as the “charm” tools to wield and project China’s soft power. Cultural diplomacy is also viewed as an effective way to promote an understanding of China’s ideals, support Chinese economic goals and enhance Chinese national security in subtle, wide-ranging, and sustainable ways. Although Chinese soft power is still in its “embryonic phase”, partly due to its close link to the country’s economic performance and huge market attraction as well as the disadvantages generated by the political and ideological issues, it has contributed greatly to expand China’s international influence and create a circle of like-minded allies on its periphery, in which process its increasing importance shall not be neglected. Keywords: Chinese culture, soft power, cultural influence, cultural diplomacy, globalization Cultural influence, besides the continued momentum of economic growth and military strengthening, becomes more and more important in an ever-increasingly interdependent and interconnected world, which turns out to be a crucial factor in expanding China’s international influence today.

  • Impact of the Medical Tourism Market on the Hotel Industry in South Korea: Focus on 5-Star Hotels
    Impact of the Medical Tourism Market on the Hotel Industry in South Korea: Focus on 5-Star Hotels Kwang-Woo Lee Nutrition, Hospitality, and Retailing Texas Tech University Hyun-Suk Choi Nutrition, Hospitality, and Retailing Texas Tech University And Min-Sun Jeon The School of Food Science and Food Service Industry Yeungnam University ABSTRACT As many other countries are capitalizing on the trend of supporting medical tourism, the South Korea government also has actively encouraged international and medical tourism. The South Korea government has put a lot of effort into attracting more international tourists, and the South Korea enjoyed the largest one-year increase in tourism from international tourists in 2009. The future prospects for the hotel industry are optimistic. However, given the lack of research data, the level and quality of services for individual hotels participating in medical tourism is unknown. The study will be conducted in Seoul and Pusan city in South Korea between November and December of 2010. The major 5-star hotels in these cities will be included in the study. An online survey will be conducted to identify the level of services provided by the hotels in these two cities. The participants will be executive managers of the hotels where medical- tourism products play an important or fairly important role. Keywords: Medical tourism , South Korea, International tourist INTRODUCTION Medical tourism refers to “travel activity across international borders to obtain medical care” (C. Lee & Spisto, 2007). Medical travel has increased dramatically over the past several years. As consumers now are faced with long waiting lists, high costs, and lack of insurance, they are seeking alternative sources for medical care — medical travel (Connell, 2006; Hume & DeMicco, 2007).

These are the 5 directional colors called ‘o-bang-saek’ in Korean. Based on Yín-Yáng Schòol, our ancestors prayed for good luck and thought those colors even drove bad forces out. To Koreans, o-bang-saek is more than just a combination of colors. It is meaningful in various areas such as space, philosophy, wisdom, etc. While o-bang-saek is representative color of Korea, the space representing Korea is the Hangang (river). Having been the basis of people’s livelihood, the Hangang flows through the heart of Seoul and serves as the space linking nature, the city and human beings. So let’s take a look at the river through the prism of o-bang-saek, the traditional color of Korea.

  • Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul
    Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul Date 2015-06-25 Category Environment Updater ssunha This report explores the park and green space policies of the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) by period, from the time Korea opened its ports to the outside world until today. The periods are: modernization and Japanese colonial rule; the first and second republics; the third and fourth republics; the fifth and sixth republics; and local autonomous government administrations elected by popular vote. For each period, this report examines the institutional and spatial changes in urban parks. Modernization & Japanese Colonial Rule: The Dawn of Urban Parks Defining Characteristics: Mountains and valleys serving as parks (Joseon Dynasty); Independence Park (Open-door Period); destruction of cultural heritage (Japanese colonial government) The concept of parks and green spaces as planned facilities was introduced as a byproduct of modernization in the late 19th and early 20th century. Of course there had been places that served as parks and green spaces ever since the Kingdom of Joseon moved its capital to today’s Seoul in 1394. The city is surrounded by an inner ring of 4 mountains and an outer ring of another 4 mountains, with the Han River flowing east to west. During the Joseon Dynasty, the walled city was located to the north of the Han, and the significance of the inner ring of Bugak Mountain, Inwang Mountain, Nak Mountain, and Nam Mountain was profound as the city walls were built on their ridges. Scholars of old would visit nearby mountain valleys where they wrote and recited poems for leisure.
