Along with 3 million Incheon citizens, let me express my warmest welcome to the delegates from many different countries to Incheon Metropolitan City. Leaders around the world have directed their efforts toward resolving problems facing cities by building smart cities for sustainable development. In particular, taking advantage of its strengths in construction and ICT technologies, Incheon City has taken the lead in pursuing smart city business. The smart city business of Incheon has drawn growing attention from nations around the world. This interest, I believe, has led to our hosting of the ‘Smart Cities Conference.’ Over the previous century, Incheon has been a driver behind the nation’s unprecedented remarkable growth, which has built ports, railways and expressways, bringing the heyday of modern culture to Korea. In this age, Incheon is transforming into a world premier city where transportation infrastructure, such as the Incheon International Airport and Incheon Port, offer state-of-the art services. Furthermore, its world class MICE, sports and culture facilities have escalated its growth. Most importantly, as the largest free economic zone in Korea the Incheon Free Economic Zone, encompassing the Songdo, Yeongjong and Cheongna districts, which was built over reclaimed land, is pioneering the prosperity of Korea. I am certain that during your stay, all delegates will have a good opportunity to learn more about Incheon and its smart city business, which will contribute greatly to successful progress of the smart city projects pursued by each city. Incheon will spare no effort and support for the resonant conclusion of the Conference, and I hope all the participants make unforgettable memories in Incheon.

Unlike to other petroleum engineering department, we are focusing on unconventional energy resources. To produce oil and gas from unconventional energy resources, it is needed some special techniques because of its dierence with conventional ones. To BY: AFRIREKSA BOP DUANA study unconventional resources energy, we also need a basic concept of petroleum engineering itself. There are 2 major unconventional energy resources: oil sands or extra heavy oil deposits, which is a high-viscous oil that needs heat to flow, and shale gas or shale oil, which has low permeability that needs fractured rock to flow. These 2 resources can be found mostly in Canada, North America, Venezuela, and Argentina. Besides unconventional energy resources, our lab also works with carbon capture storage, which is a new technology that injects carbon dioxide back to earth crust as a storage for improving oil production. This happens because of the high carbon dioxide emission that harmful for the environment. This technology has been done also in Korea, at Pohang basin. Our lab is leaded by Professor Hyundon Shin, graduated from Seoul National University with a BSc and MSc degree in Applied Geology, and received his PhD degree at University of Alberta, Canada. Right now, we are 1 PhD student, 1 master student, and 2 integrated PhD students in our oces (2N263A and hi-tech building), working on diverse aspect of unconventional energy resources (oil sands and shale gas) and carbon capture storage technology.

  • Songdo Free Economic Zone in South Korea: a Mega-Project Reflecting Globalization? Kim Jun-Woo* · Young-Jin Ahn**
    Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Vol. 46, No. 5, 2011(662~672) Songdo Free Economic Zone in South Korea: A Mega-project Reflecting Globalization? Kim Jun-Woo* · Young-Jin Ahn** 인천 송도 경제자유구역 개발 특성 -세계화를 반영한 거대 프로젝트인가?- 김준우*·안영진** Abstract：The actual mechanism of Songdo Free Economic Zone in Incheon, South Korea, has been provided. Contrary to previous researches, which either consider globalizing market force as naturally causing mega-projects or regarding the state as orchestrating mega-project in order to upgrade a national economy, this paper adopts a new approach. This approach acknowledges the importance of state in building Songdo. However, motivations of the bureaucrats were more about their own interest rather than that of the state. The plan of making Songdo a global business hub such as Singapore was not carefully planned. Boosting up local economy by initiating huge construction project and expansion of the bureaucratic organization were also important. The foreign school in Songdo, which is open to local children, is good news to high bureaucrats who are likely to send their kids abroad for education. Key Words : Songdo, Free Economic Zone, Business Hub, Incheon, South Korea 요약：이 논문은 우리나라 인천 송도 경제자유구역의 개발 기제를 밝혀보려고 한다. 세계화하는 시장의 힘이 송도 경제자유구역 개 발과 같은 거대 프로젝트를 실행하도록 추동한다거나 정부가 국가 경제를 한 단계 더 발전시키기 위해 거대 프로젝트를 추진하도록 한다고 주장하는 이전의 연구들과 달리, 이 논문은 새로운 설명 및 접근 방법을 모색해 보았다. 이 새로운 설명 방법은 송도 경제자유 구역의 개발에서 국가의 중요성이 인정되지만, 그 구체적 개발 배경 혹은 동기에서는 국가 자체의 이해관계보다 관료들의 이해관계 가 한층 중요하게 작용하였다는 점이다.
