    ICLEI East Asia Secretariat Annual Report 2014 www.eastasia.iclei.org CONTENT GREETINGS P.1-2 PROFILE p.3 GOVERNANCE p.4 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT p.5-6 PROGRAMS & PROJECTS p.7-8 CAPACITY BUILDING p.9-10 OUR STAFF p.11-13 GREETINGS From the Founding Director East Asia continues to be the world’s most thriving region. ICLEI is proud to have enlarged its presence and capacity to support East Asian cities in their sustainability efforts and to engage them in our programs. The ICLEI East Asia Secretariat has launched two programs this past year. The Energy-safe Cities East Asia program works with three cities each from China, Japan and South Korea and one Mongolian city to explore with which currently available technologies and at what costs the cities could transform their urban energy systems to become low-carbon, low-risk and resilient – practically 100% renewable – by the year 2030. True, it is an ambitious approach, but how can we make a difference if we are not ambitious? After one and a half year of preparations we have launched the program with a first experts symposium held in Beijing in October 2014. As a precursor of a Green Public Procurement program for Chinese cities we have organized EcoProcura© China 2014, an international symposium in Beijing that brought experts from the Chinese government, international organizations, Chinese as well as foreign cities together for an exchange of information, practices and experiences. We have been present at key events in China and spurred attention to resilience in urban planning and management and brisked up the discussion on car-centered urban development by calling for EcoMobility-oriented planning.

Ecology and Society 17(3): 26. http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-05079-170326 Insight, part of a Special Feature on Vulnerability and Adaptation to Oil Spills Community Adaptation to the Hebei-Spirit Oil Spill So-Min Cheong 1 ABSTRACT. The focus of the research is the significance of dependence for communities to survive and adapt in times of environmental disasters. It shifts the emphasis on self-reliant communities for survival and examines the types and effects of dependence and external linkages by analyzing the range of community responses that include initial responses, early social impact, compensation, and conflicts after the Hebei-Spirit oil spill in December 2007 in Korea. The findings reveal that dependence is necessary, and the effects of dependence can be both positive and negative depending on the relations between external entities and affected communities as well as the community capacity to absorb resources and information. Key Words: community adaptation; community dependence; resource; Hebei-Spirit; knowledge; oil spill INTRODUCTION and negative depending on the relations between external How do communities adapt to new environmental disasters? entities and affected communities. A paradigm within the literature on disaster management and climate change adaptation is the promotion of self-reliance BACKGROUND and self-sufficiency, for communities to initiate action to Though the advocacy of community-initiated disaster prevent and prepare for disasters and to determine for preparedness and adaptation is important to increasing themselves how to manage and adapt to disasters and climate adaptive capacity and sharing local knowledge, local-centered change (Allen 2006).

Executive Summary To many Koreans, the concept of disaster management will be relatively new and unfamiliar since people often thought of disasters as destiny, and as the government historically did not put much effort into “managing” disasters with an effective system. It is only after Sewol ferry incident of 2014 that Koreans began to realize how important it is to effectively manage disasters, which can happen anytime, anywhere, without warning. In recent years, the Korean government has taken steps to improve the country’s disaster management system, first by establishing the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in 2004, and then by replacing NEMA with the newly-created Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS) in 2014. However, to the author, it is unclear as to whether the government is ready to admit the mistakes of the past, learn from the past tragedies, and really try to change the country’s approach to emergency management.

  • Socio-Ecological Resilience of Oil Spill: Focusing on the Hebei Spirit Oil Spill on the West Coast of Korea
    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 15 (2016): 10793-10808 SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL RESILIENCE OF OIL SPILL: FOCUSING ON THE HEBEI SPIRIT OIL SPILL ON THE WEST COAST OF KOREA Gi-Geun Yang* and Kwang Bin Bae** Abstract: Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the socio-ecological impacts and resilience of the Hebei Spirit Oil Spill (HSOS). This study analyzes the ecological and social impacts and social and ecological resilience of HSOS from the perspective of the Ecological Impacts (oil spill itself, physical environment of the marine, and marine biology), Social Impacts (disaster management, economy, compensation), and Social and Ecological Resilience (human health and community resilience, policy and decision). Design/methodology/approach: In order to examine the socio-ecological impacts, this study conducts a comprehensive literature review, which includes government and industry papers and reports related to oil spills and their environmental and societal consequences. The literature consists largely of case studies, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs’ Hebei Spirit oil spill white papers, reports on inspection ruling from Seosan local court concerning HSOS compensation by area and type of business, and secondary statistics from published academic journals. In addition, we also conducted an interview in 2008 near the damaged area regarding conflicts between resident groups and communities. Findings: This study presents several suggestions on methods to restore damage caused by an oil spill. First, it is necessary to establish long- and mid-term strategies to restore the ecosystem. Second, not only do governments and local societies need to put effort into revitalizing the affected local economy but also focus more on social and ecological resilience.

  • Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place by Youjeong
    Spectacular Cities, Speculative Storytelling: Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place By Youjeong Oh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair Professor Richard A. Walker Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Paul E. Groth Fall 2013 Abstract Spectacular Cities, Speculative Storytelling: Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place By Youjeong Oh Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair This dissertation examines the relationships between popular culture, cities, and gendered social discourses, with a focus on contemporary Korean television dramas. Existing studies about Korean dramas have relied upon economic and cultural analysis to, in effect, celebrate their vibrant export to overseas markets and identify why they are popular in other East Asian countries. This study expands the scope into spatial and social realms by examining cities’ drama-sponsorship and drama-driven social activities. Deploying popular culture as an analytical category directly shaping and transforming material, urban and social conditions, I argue that the cultural industry of Korean television dramas not only functions as its own, dynamic economic sector, but also constitutes urban processes and social discourses of contemporary South Korea. Drawing upon interdisciplinary methods including ethnography and content analysis, I examine Korean television dramas from the multiple vantage points of producers, audience, storytelling, and city-sponsorship, and elucidate why and how these four arenas are deeply intertwined. Their mutual entanglement, in turn, requires us to see Korean television dramas as more than just commercial entertainment; they become a medium through which we can contemplate labor conditions in the cultural industry, the political economies of development in regional cities, and gender politics in Korea.
