Korea Real Estate Market Report Vol. 5 Korea Real Estate Market Report 2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook Real Estate Research Institute of KAB KAB Real Estate Market Report Greetings This is the fifth volume of the Korea Appraisal Board (KAB) Real Estate Market Report (2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook). With the enactment of the Korea Appraisal Board Act in September 2016, KAB has undergone a transformation from an organization specializing in real estate appraisal to an organization dedicated to real estate market surveys and management as well as making announcements of official land value and related statistics. Maintaining order and stability in the Korean real estate market is an especially important task undertaken by KAB. The KAB Real Estate Market Report published semiannually in the first and second halves of the year provides reliable information on the real estate market including the future outlook, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the current trends, with the aim of ensuring order in the real estate market. The real estate market in Korea in 2016 became more stable compared to the previous year due to the influence of the economic slowdown and the new loan restriction policy concerning tighter loan review regulations. Notable trends in the year included the overheated pre-construction parceling-out market for the Gangnam reconstruction projects and the rise in housing prices in the Seoul Capital Area; however, following the announcement of the real estate policy on November 3, 2016 speculative investments declined, and the market became more stabilized centering on actual demand. Also, in some of the regions outside the Seoul Capital Area, real estate prices began to be on a downturn as a result of an industrial recession and increased housing supply. As for the real estate market outlook for 2017, the intent to purchase homes is expected to fall due to the high probability of a hike in the interest rate in Korea, as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of its plans to raise the interest rate over the course of the year. Also, the continued economic uncertainty at home and abroad, the rationalization of the mortgage policy, and higher housing supply are expected to become factors contributing to the shift in the sales market toward a downward stabilization, while the Jeonse market is expected to show stability. For this report, the major issues in the real estate market in addition to the current trends and outlook were analyzed in depth for a better understanding of the real estate market. First, in order to make an accurate diagnosis of the increasing economic risk factors in Korea and abroad and the rise in household debts, the level and structure of KAB Real Estate Market Report household debts in Korea as well as the characteristics of the households with debts were analyzed. In addition, amid the growing voices of concern regarding the demographic cliff and a sharp drop in housing demand resulting from low fertility and population aging as well as long-term stagnation in the housing market, data on the actual residential property transactions were used in a regression analysis of apartment purchases by age group, the results of which showed that the aging population contributed to the demand in the housing market. Moreover, the apartment subscription market in 2016 was diagnosed based on a comparison of the regional apartment subscription competition ratios through analyses of subscription competition ratios and time-space hot spots, as well as analyses of the determinants of the subscription competition ratios and similarities of the apartment subscription markets across the regions. Lastly, in order to analyze the factors influencing the predictions of housing prices, an empirical analysis was performed in regard to the correlations and causal relationships between the macroeconomic variables and housing prices nationwide. It is our hope that the market analysis data provided in this report serve as a basis for making judgments from a more balanced perspective. KAB will be committed to its role in performing multi-faceted, in-depth analyses and providing fair and comprehensive real estate market information through the Real Estate Market Report as a means to ensure stable housing for the citizens of Korea and support the policy implemented to advance the real estate market. Thank you.

  • Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations
    sustainability Article Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations Joon-Seok Kim and Nina Shin * College of Business Administration, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: We principally focus on evaluating the local and entire network performance of railway stations for sustainable logistics management in South Korea. Specifically, we aim to address the issue of dealing with vulnerability in logistics dependent on the degree of connectivity. To resolve this issue, we investigate (i) the current level of local railway station sustainability performance from the perspectives of the value of the station (node) and the geographical location (place), and (ii) how railway station network management can prepare for imminent internal and external risks. Integrating node–place analysis and social network analysis approaches, we demonstrate a means of assessing (i) local railway station performance by comparing how one station’s value differs from that of other stations, and (ii) overall railway network performance by measuring the degree of connectivity based on the centrality characteristics. Consequently, we recommend improvement in planning orders considering the degree of local performance and network vulnerability for railway station network sustainability.

    Overview CHONGQING 2035 / 33 Conclusion Chongqing’s large administrative territory and population, thriving economy, and increasing integration into the global economy are huge assets in its bid to become a global city. Chongqing can manage looming risks and shape its growth trajectory to mirror that of other successful global cities by (1) shaping its spatial structure in a compact form; (2) increasing its connectivity and integration in the ASEAN region; (3) becoming a center of innovation with a highly skilled workforce; (4) managing the demographic transition and urban-rural integration, and creating a free-flowing large labor market; and (5) following a low- carbon growth pathway. The five major transformations highlighted in this report define short-, medium-, and long-term goals and provide an overall strategic direction to achieve Chongqing’s Vision 2035. A successful outcome requires strong leadership and commitment, careful sequencing, smooth and determined implementation, and close coordination among all relevant agencies.

  • Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 52 ( 2015 ) 178 – 185 The 6th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT 2015) Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data a a a a a Ji-Young Song , Jin Ki Eom* , Kwang Sub Lee , Jae Hong Min , Keun Yul Yang a Korea Railroad Research Institute, Ui-Wang, Kyung-Ki, 437-050, South Korea Abstract This study evaluated transit service performance in Seoul using data collected from the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system in Seoul. The distance-based fare system in Seoul allows a maximum of four transfers with no additional charges to encourage transit ridership. In order to analyze the transit transfers, this study developed quantitative indicators for public transportation evaluations differentiated from those of previous studies by the fact that it utilizes data mining techniques which incorporate massive amounts of data (over 10 million transits per day) derived from the smart card system. This study not only carried out an evaluation to improve public transportation quality but provided comparative analysis of the mobility handicapped and an evaluation of public transportation users’ regional equity. This evaluative analysis of Level of Services (LOS) for various items is expected to be adopted for analyzing LOS status and generating improvement priorities and to be utilized as an objective database for public transportation policy decisions. ©© 20120155 TheElsevier Authors.
