  • Spatial Distributions of Carbon Storage and Uptake of Urban Forests in Seoul, South Korea
    Sensors and Materials, Vol. 31, No. 11 (2019) 3811–3826 3811 MYU Tokyo S & M 2051 Spatial Distributions of Carbon Storage and Uptake of Urban Forests in Seoul, South Korea Do-Hyung Lee,1 Sung-Ho Kil,2* Hyun-Kil Jo,2 and Byoungkoo Choi3 1Green Business Division, Korea Research Institute on Climate Change, Chuncheon 24239, South Korea 2Department of Ecological Landscape Architecture Design, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, South Korea 3Department of Forest Environment Protection, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, South Korea (Received August 17, 2019; accepted October 23, 2019) Keywords: climate change, ecosystem service, tree cover, vegetation index, forest management Urban forests are crucial to alleviate climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Although recent research has mapped the ecosystem service worldwide, most studies have not obtained accurate results owing to the usage of high-cost and low-resolution data. Hence, herein, carbon storage and carbon uptake per capita are quantified and mapped for all administrative districts of the Seoul Metropolitan City through (1) the analysis of tree cover via on-site tree investigation and aerial imagery and (2) geographic information system (GIS) analysis, targeting the Seoul Metropolitan City of South Korea, which has achieved the highest level of development. Results indicate that the total carbon storage and carbon uptake of Seoul are approximately 1459024 t and 147388 t/yr, respectively; the corresponding per unit area values are approximately 24.03 t/ha and 2.43 t/ha/yr, which are lower than those of other cities. In particular, carbon storage and uptake per capita benefits of the urban areas, except for the urban forest areas, are confirmed to show a maximum difference (~20 times) between the regions.

  • Namdaemun Market, Seoul
    Namdaemun Market, Seoul Namdaemun Market is one of the largest markets in South Korea The Namdaemun Market is located in South Korea's Seoul district. It is one of the largest markets in South Korea that sells an assorted range of products, including men and women's apparel, children's clothes, kitchenware, accessories, and other products. The market is also known as Sungnyemun. Almost all of these shops have their own manufacturing units and thus are able to sell the products at both wholesale and retail prices. As a result, the visitors are able to buy the products at extremely low rates. Visitors from different countries show unique tastes and preferences. For example, while the tourists from the West are inclined to enjoy just the aura of the market, the Chinese are interested in buying clothes and some miscellaneous items, the Japanese are foodies as they like ginseng, gim, and gimchi. Children wear has captured over 90 percent of the market. You would find children's dresses, socks, shoes, and T- shirts. A major part of the market is covered by women's apparel, including suits, casual wear, clothes for elderly, women suits, etc. The Namdo Market along with the subterranean Doggaebi Market sells infant goods, clothing, liquor, canned food, etc. Ginseng sells dried squid, peanuts, pine nuts, dried cod, laver, etc. The Optician's shops sell corrective glasses, sunglasses, and contact lens. Mountain, Ski, and Fishing Gear such as backpacks, mountain boots, etc., are also sold in the market. The market pulsates day and night. Restraining yourself from buying things is difficult here.

These are the 5 directional colors called ‘o-bang-saek’ in Korean. Based on Yín-Yáng Schòol, our ancestors prayed for good luck and thought those colors even drove bad forces out. To Koreans, o-bang-saek is more than just a combination of colors. It is meaningful in various areas such as space, philosophy, wisdom, etc. While o-bang-saek is representative color of Korea, the space representing Korea is the Hangang (river). Having been the basis of people’s livelihood, the Hangang flows through the heart of Seoul and serves as the space linking nature, the city and human beings. So let’s take a look at the river through the prism of o-bang-saek, the traditional color of Korea.

However, because of being almost destroyed during the Korean War, the city spent most of the second half of the 20th century trying to rebuild itself. After recovering, Seoul shifted its policies to become a sustainable development-oriented city. Thus, the city engaged in its first major nature recovery project, the Mt. Namsan Restoration project, in 1991 and it enacted the first 5-year Plan for Park & Green Spaces in 1996, which pinpointed the start of the Green Seoul era.
