Background Scientific technology and industry development have recently reduced the birth rate and morbidity rate, increasing life expectancy. In addition, there is more rising interest on the injuries from non-infectious disease, chronic degenerative diseases, road traffic injuries, fall and suicide rather than on the infectious disease in the past. The health and safety intended through injury prevention, are basic human rights, which are determined by the interaction between the individual and environment. Therefore, interest on social and environmental impact and social Community approach are recently considered as effective alternatives, rather than the individual injury prevention and safety promotion projects in the past.

It was up sevenfold.He owns two apartments including his current residence. They were purchased using severance pay, with rent from the second unit to be used for living expenses. Last year, the bill was 100,000 won ($90) for comprehensive real estate tax. This year, it was 700,000 won. Next year, it will be about 1.5 million won. “Some people might say the amount is so little for me as a person who owns two apartments. However, I’m really confused now receiving the bill when I’m not earning any money at the moment,” Park said. “I want to sell one, but then I'll be obliged to pay a large amount of capital gains tax, and I would lose a way to make a living.” On Nov. 20, the National Tax Service started sending this year’s comprehensive real estate tax bills to homeowners. The homeowners can check the bills right away online, or they will receive the bills in the mail around Nov. 26. The comprehensive real estate tax is a national tax targeting expensive residential real estate and some kinds of land. It is separate from property taxes levied by local governments. Under the government’s comprehensive real estate tax regulation, the tax is levied yearly on June 1 on apartment whose government-assessed value exceeds 900 million won.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository 59 UNC-Chapel Hill DCRP Best Master’s Project of 2009 Evaluation of Environmental Effects of Songpa New Town in Seoul, Korea Jun Huh The purpose of this research is to examine the environmental effects of the proposed Songpa new town development built along the urban growth boundary in South Korea. The project evaluates the proposed development plan from an environmental perspective, which can be easily ignored during a planning process. With the logistic regression model considering accessibility and physical constraint factors, future development in the proposed new town and infill development in two existing alternative areas are simulated based on the assumption that future development will follow past development patterns. The project examines changes in runoff volume directly affecting water quality and flooding in and around the study areas. Pre-development and post-development runoff volumes are estimated through hydrologic analysis using land use, soil type, and average rainfall data.

History of Songpa District In old days, Songpa was the capital of Hanseong Baekje 2,000 years ago. In modern days, it proudly hosted the 1986 Asian Games and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Songpa is a good place to live where traditional and modern cultures harmoniously exist together. It is believed that the name of Songpa dates back to even before the Goryeo Dynasty and it means a hill with pine trees (Song means a pine tree and Pa means a hill). Due to its location along the Han River, Songpa was the place where Neolithic men lived in prehistoric age. Later, as an ancient nation was built, Songpa was a place for living for the people of Gojoseon and it was the capital of Baekje for about 493 years from the founder, King Onjo to 21st King Gaero. Jamsil is the name given by a command of King Sejong of the Chosun Dynasty. Mulberry trees were planted in current Jamsil area and called “Dongjamsil”.

    Evergreen Rest Family's resting arena with the nature Happiness flows Warm place to breathe in rest Green rest in the center of city The Han River is with you History Look Again at the Han River The area around Han river, where people lived together in the community from the ancient times, has been at the center of history from Werye Castle in Baekje Kingdom, the Capital of Hanyang in Chosun Kingdom, and Seoul in the present in the Korean Peninsula. The Han River has been flowing together with the breath of our nation until now. The name of Han River has been called in many different ways according to times. It was called 'Daesu(a strap of water)' in the initial era of the Three Kingdoms and 'Arisu' in Goguryeo as it surrounded the waist of Korean Peninsula like a strap. Since Baekje called the river 'Hansu' thereafter, it was named Hansu or the current name 'Hangang' (Han River). 'Hangang' originated from our Korean language 'Hangaram', of which 'Han' means 'large, wide and long' and 'Garam' is an ancient word of a river. 'Hangang' has been used all together as a meaning of a large and wide river. HanGangPark 04/05 The Han River flows from Geomryongso, a valley to the north of Mt. Geumdae (1,418m) in Changjuk-dong, Taebaek-si, Gangwon Province. At Paldang Lake, it joins Bukhan River, which flows from Okbalbong, Geumgang-gun, Gangwon Province (North Korea). Then at the mouth of Han River again, it joins Imjin River which flows from Mt. Duryu, Beomdong-gun, Gangwon Province (North Korea) and finally flows to the West Sea.
