And based on this, it aims to share a reliable market trend and changes for predicting the future tendency in the real estate market and contribute to the order of said market. In the first half of 2017, the real estate market demonstrated a similar stable trend in the 2016 housing market due to the increase of housing supplies. However, Due to the overheating of reconstruction markets in Gangnam and Busan, regulatory policies are being implemented to slow this down. With the grace period for the reconstructed extra profit return system to be terminated, the implementation of reconstruction businesses is being accelerated to avoid the extra profit return system, which is leading to the concentrated investment demand and increased prices. Excluding these political factors and influences, although there is an excessive level of housing supply volume to be concentrated in the Gyeonggi region in the late half of this year and next year, it is expected that this will absorb the rental demand in Seoul and other metropolitan areas, therefore maintaining the present stability will be maintained for a certain period. Also, following the 6.19 measures, with the monopoly restriction and reinforced regulations for loans in some overheated regions, the household debts management measures to be carried out in this August is expected to stabilize the actual demand market. In the meantime, the real estate market in 2017 has a higher likelihood of increased domestic interest rate following the additional plans by the US Fed to increase the interest rate. Due to these economic uncertainties, regulatory policies of the real estate market and influence from increased household demand, it is expected that the sales market will remain flat and the rent market will continue its stable trend. The Korea Appraisal Board will continue to reinforce multidimensional in-depth analysis through the KAB Real Estate Market Report, and provide comprehensive and fair real estate market analysis in a timely manner to contribute to the housing stability for the people and support policies for the advanced real estate market.

  • Perceptual Dialectology Study of Korean Focusing on Authentic Speakers of Gyeongsang Dialect
    Perceptual dialectology study of Korean focusing on authentic speakers of Gyeongsang dialect Young Hwang Indiana University Abstract Previous perceptual dialectology research on Korean has shown that Gyeongsang speakers display signs of linguistic insecurity and suffer from a dialect inferiority complex. The participants of these studies, however, were Gyeongsang expatriates living outside of the Gyeongsang region, either in Seoul or in the U.S., where most Korean speakers use Standard Korean. In order to address the gap in previous studies, the present study examines how “authentic” Gyeongsang speakers (that is, those living in the Gyeongsang region) perceive dialects in South Korea. The results of the present study reveal that Gyeongsang speakers living in Gyeongsang regions show positive attitudes toward their dialect. Although they judge their dialect less positively than Standard Korean because of the extraordinary authority of Standard Korean in South Korea, they generally perceive their dialect more positively than other regional dialects. Older speakers, in particular, demonstrate this tendency. The perceptual difference between Gyeongsang speakers living outside of the Gyeongsang regions and those living in the Gyeongsang regions suggest that an individual’s self- identity and living location influence his or her perception of a dialect. Keywords: Gyeongsang dialect; Korean dialects; perceptual dialectology; language attitudes 1. Introduction Perceptual dialectology is a branch of linguistics concerned with people’s perceptions of dialects and dialectal areas rather than the actual production of dialects. It explores where non-linguists believe dialect areas exist, the geographical extent of those areas, how non-linguists perceive dialects distinctively, and what attitudes non-linguists have toward different dialects (Preston 1999a).

Thus, a method to more scientifically estimate the extreme event is required. This paper suggests a method to estimate the extreme precipitation in Korea using a regional climate model. First, several historical extreme events are identified and the most extreme event of Typhoon Rusa (2002) is selected. Second, the selected event is reconstructed through the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, one of the Regional Climate Models (RCMs). Third, the reconstructed event is maximized by adjusting initial and boundary conditions. Finally, the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is obtained. The WRF could successfully simulate the observed precipitation in terms of spatial and temporal distribution (R2 = 0.81). The combination of the WRF Single-Moment (WSM 6-class graupel scheme (of microphysics), the Betts-Miller-Janjic scheme (of cumulus parameterization) and the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) scheme (of planetary boundary layer) was determined to be the best combination to reconstruct Typhoon Rusa.

INTRODUCTION Generally, spatial hierarchy can be classified into three levels; city, town and rural area. In Korea, city and town are defined as a urbanized area with population over than 50,000 and 20,000, respectively. Among rural areas, there exist weakly urbanized centers . where administrative and/or industrial functions are relatively concentrated. Town and township where county office is located are called together SMALL-TOWN(!j\~PB) in Korea.

  • Spatial Distribution of Mumps in South Korea, 2001–2015: Identifying Clusters and Population Risk Factors
    Epidemiol. Infect. (2017), 145, 2122–2128. © Cambridge University Press 2017 doi:10.1017/S0950268817000899 Spatial distribution of mumps in South Korea, 2001–2015: identifying clusters and population risk factors Y.-J. CHOE, K. MIN AND S.-I. CHO* Department of Epidemiology, Seoul National University School of Public Health, Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 151-742, Republic of Korea Received 14 December 2016; Final revision 26 March 2017; Accepted 29 March 2017; first published online 8 May 2017 SUMMARY In South Korea, the resurgence of mumps was noted primarily among school-aged children and adolescents since 2000. We analyzed spatial patterns in mumps incidence to give an indication to the geographical risk. We used National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System data from 2001 to 2015, classifying into three periods according to the level of endemicity. A geographic- weighted regression analysis was performed to find demographic predictors of mumps incidence according to district level. We assessed the association between the total population size, population density, percentage of children (age 0–19 years), timely vaccination rate of measles– mumps–rubella vaccines and the higher incidence rate of mumps. During low endemic periods, there were sporadic regional distributions of outbreak in the central and northern part of the country. During intermediate endemic periods, the increase of incidence was noted across the country. During high endemic period, a nationwide high incidence of mumps was noted especially concentrated in southwestern regions. A clear pattern for the mumps cluster shown through global spatial autocorrelation analysis from 2004 to 2015. The ‘non-timely vaccination coverage’ (P = 0·002), and ‘proportion of children population’ (P < 0·001) were the predictors for high mumps incidence in district levels.

Even though there have been various kinds of policies and investments to vitalize its economy not only from central government, but also from local governments, its relative position in the country is not much changed. This paper is devoted to examine the industrial structure enhancement policies in Gwangju-Chonnam region in South Korea. First, we review the history of regional industrial policy implemented in Gwangju-Chonnam region, and present some policy considerations on regional economic innovation. Second, we classify regional policy directives by historical period, describe policy contents of each period, and discuss the limitations of regional policies adopted by the local governments, after pointing out important factors in selecting regional specialized industry by regions. Finally, under the economic environment faced with global trend of open competition, a brief policy recommendation is suggested in the conclusion. Keywords: Regional industrial policy, industrial structure enhancement, regional specialized industry, global open competition. JEL classification numbers: L16, L25, L38 and L39 I. Introduction As the world economy is more integrated in the 21st century, global industrial structure has changed to global oligopoly in manufacturing industry, through international division of labor between developed and developing countries.

  • Spatial Effects of Container Ports on Production of the Leather, Bag and Shoe Industry in Korea
    Int. J. Shipping and Transport Logistics, Vol. X, No. Y, xxxx 1 Spatial effects of container ports on production of the leather, bag and shoe industry in Korea Yong An Park Korea Maritime Institute, 26, Haeyang-ro 301, Yeongdo-gu, Busan, 606-080, Korea Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Francesca Romana Medda* UCL QASER Lab, Faculty of Engineering, University College London, Chadwick Building, Gower Street London, WC1E 6BT, UK Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract: Container port operations are widely regarded as being beneficial to regional economies, particularly in aggregated terms. The present paper examines this common knowledge in the specific case of the leather, bag and shoe industry in Korea. The authors use two panel datasets of the industry, one dataset of 16 regions and the other dataset of enduring establishments from 1991 to 2011. In our analysis with panel data of the regions, the authors find that an increase of container throughput in ports affects production of the industry positively during the examined period. When dividing the examined period into two periods, the authors observe the negative effects during the period before 2003 and primarily in the groups of regions without large ports. The panel data model of enduring establishments presents a negative coefficient of port throughput on production. The contradictory results may be caused by the characteristics of the two different panels. Keywords: container port; panel data model; industry; regional effect; Korea.
