  • Choosing the Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing the Right Location
    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

Climate South Korea has a temperate climate, with four distinct seasons. Spring, from late March to May, is warm, while summer, from June to early September is hot and humid.

  • 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.

However, all of 4 bikesharing programs do not necessarily become a sustainable transportation mode. Two 5 bikesharing programs, Nubija and TA-SHU, in Korea have similar historical backgrounds, 6 but present completely distinctive features as a transportation mode.

  • Erection of Steel Roof Structure of Gwangmyeong Velodrome
    Erection of Steel Roof Structure of GwangMyeong Velodrome Park, P.E. Hyung Chul* ; Oh, Dr. Bohwan** ABSTRACT GwangMyeong velodrome is the largest dome structure ever built in S. Korea. Since the roof structure of the velodrome was designed as support-free large space, the construction of the roof structure was the biggest issue during the entire construction process. This pa- per briefly introduces the lifting method of construction of the roof structure. Analytical results for the deflections and stresses of the roof structure are compared with measured data. Also explained are the monitoring methods for assuring safety requirements during construction of the roof structure. KEYWORDS: Erection, Lifting, Jack- Down, Monitoring INTRODUCTION GwangMyeong velodrome(See Table 1 and Figure 1) is the largest dome structure ever built in South Korea. Since the roof structure of the velodrome was designed as a large support-free steel space truss which spans 180m in the longer direction and 132m in the shorter direction, erection of the roof structure was the biggest issue during the entire con- struction process. Conventional erection method using cranes had some unavoidable prob- lems: Traveling tower crane could not be used since high-voltage lines were passing through within the working area of the tower crane. Storage area for PC members was un- affordable due to delayed dismantlement of the underground obstacles. Furthermore, the Compression Ring could not be installed by crawler crane neither within the construction site due to the existence of the inner supporting frame nor from outside of the site due to the limited arm length of the crane.

  • Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea
    sustainability Article Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea Hye-Kyoung Lee , Young-Hoon Bae , Jong-Yeong Son and Won-Hwa Hong * School of Architectural, Civil, Environmental and Energy Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.B.); [email protected] (J.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-950-5597 Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 9 June 2020 Abstract: Regional demographic changes are important regional characteristics that need to be considered for the establishment of disaster prevention policies against climate change worldwide. In this study, we propose urban disaster prevention plans based on the classification and characterization of flood vulnerable areas reflecting demographic changes. Data on the property damage, casualties, and flooded area between 2009 and 2018 in 229 municipalities in South Korea were collected and analyzed, and 74 flood vulnerable areas were selected. The demographic change in the selected areas from 2000 to 2018 was examined through comparative analyses of the population size, rate of population change, and population change proportion by age group and gender. Flood vulnerable areas were categorized into three types through K-mean cluster analysis. Based on the analysis results, a strategic plan was proposed to provide information necessary for establishing regional flood-countermeasure policies. Keywords: urban disaster prevention plan; flood vulnerability; climate change; demographic change; cluster analysis 1. Introduction Floods are one of the most dangerous and destructive natural hazards that can cause human loss and economic damages [1–3]. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of flooding and the extent of damage caused by it [4–6].
