The results are summarized as follows. All respondents in the survey did not know the standard name of Gnaphalium affine. 178 repondents (68.7%) knew the plant name called in the local area. The frequency was higher in the order of Jebissuk (37.5%) > Gaessuk (21.2%) > Seorissuk (19.7%) > Gyessuk (4.3%) > Goissuk (1.9%), including duplicate responses. Of the 178 respondents who responded that they could distinguish it, 82.6% knew only one species, and 17.4% knew two in Gnaphalium affine. 62.3% of respondents said they ate dishes made from Gnaphalium affine, and 62.3% had experience cooking Gnaphalium affine. 61.8% of respondents said they ate rice cake made from Gnaphalium affine, and 40.2% had experience making rice cake with Gnaphalium affine. Edible taste of Gnaphalium affine was evaluated as ‘delicious and sticy taste (4.75)’and ‘above sticky (4.89)’according to criterion level 5.0. The final eating period was followed from 1951-1970 (33.1%) > 1971-1990 (29.4%) > 1991-2010 (17.5%) > after 2011 (13.8%) > before 1950 (10.0%), respectively. As a result, it is very necessary that the standard name of Gnaphalium affine is spread widely and the use culture is succeeded and active. Key words : cottonweed, cudweed, jebissuk, seorissuk, traditional rice cake Ⅰ. Introduction Gnaphalium affine as a medicinal herb is used to alleviate coughing, phlegm, asthma, bronchitis, muscle pain, lumbago, Gnaphalium affine belongs to the genus Gnaphalium of arthritis, prostatism, itchy skin, and high blood pressure (Xi et Compositae, widely distributed in East Asia such as Korea, al., 2012), and also has an antibacterial effect (Pan, 2006).

However, this growth in maritime traffic has led to increased risk of marine accidents. These accidents have a higher probability of occurring in regions where geographical features such as islands are present. Further, the positioning of rescue ships in a particular ocean region with a high level of maritime activity is critical for rescue operations. This paper proposes a method for determining an optimal set of locations for stationing rescue ships in an ocean region with numerous accident sites, such as in the Wando islands of South Korea. The computational challenge in this problem is identified as the positioning of numerous islands of varying sizes located in the region. Thus, the proposed method combines a clustering-based optimization method and an image processing approach that incorporates flood filling to calculate the shortest pixel value between two points in the ocean that detours around the islands. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method reduces the distance between rescue ships and each accident site by 5.0 km compared to the original rescue ship locations. Thus, rescue time is reduced.

    New Challenges Facing --------1-------- Asian Agriculture under Globalisation Volume II Edited by Jamalludin Sulaiman Fatimah Mohamed Arshad Mad Nasir Shamsudin 34 Farm Household Debt Problems in Jeonnom Province, Korea: ACose Study J.K. Park, P.S. Park and K.H. Song Introduction Farm loans have increased quite rapidly in the recent decades and the farm household debt 1 matter has become a serious socio-economic issue in Korea. In an effort to get around this critical issue, the government would prepare and implement impromptu new debt measures. Yet, the farm-debt ratio over farm income has been increasing very rapidly since the beginning of the WTO in 1995 and the IMF financial crisis of 1997, leading to 88 per cent as that of 2000, mainly due to low agricultural income. During the period of 1994 (the year right before the beginning of the WTO)-2000, farm household income had increased by 13.6 per cent but debt had increased by as much as 156.3 per cent (MAF, 2001 ). That is, farm household debt has been increasing very rapidly since 1995. Yet, the ratio of non-farm income accounted for around 32 per cent of farm income in recent years, which made it more difficult for farmers to repay their loans. This problem is getting even more complicated because of joint surety among the farmers, which would lead to total bankruptcy of farms including financially sound farms. Recently, more than 7 5 per cent of farm loans were utilised for the purpose of agricultural production. In order to cope with labour shortage problems due to the rural-urban migration of labour force, farmers began to purchase more agricultural machinery, which eventually led to the galloping farm household debts.

  • Lunar New Year Macarthur, General Douglas
    894 Lunar New Year The lunar New Year, known as 561, W6ndan, W6ni! or Cbongch '0, is one of the most important holidays in Korea. During this holiday, there are traffic jams throughout the country as people rush to see their family and relatives. On the morning of Lunar New Year, people don traditional dress (hanbok). Various foods and wine are prepared, and then set in front of an ancestral tablet. The table is meticulously arranged according to Confucian tradition; however, many families also have their own traditions governing details of the arrangement. In general, fish is put on the east, meat on the west, fruit in front, rice and soup behind and liquor on the front table. A ceremony is then held during which the male family members pay respect to their deceased ancestors up to the fourth generation by making three full bows. Family members also visit the graves of their deceased ancestors. On this holiday, after cutting the grass from around the grave, they make a simple offering and then bow three times. In addition to paying respect to the deceased, each family member is expected to make two formal bows to his or her elders. According to custom, the elders then give the person a gift of money, particularly if the person is a child. Special foods are prepared for this holiday. In particular, rice-cake soup is typically served instead ofrice. For this reason, the question 'How many bowls of rice-cake soup have you eaten?' is sometimes used to ask one's age. In North Korea and China, mandu (dumpling) soup is often eaten instead.

  • A Predictive Model for Estimating Damage from Wind Waves During Coastal Storms
    water Article A Predictive Model for Estimating Damage from Wind Waves during Coastal Storms Yeon Moon Choo , Kun Hak Chun, Hae Seong Jeon and Sang Bo Sim * Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Korea; [email protected] (Y.M.C.); [email protected] (K.H.C.); [email protected] (H.S.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-051-510-7654 Abstract: In recent years, climate abnormalities have been observed globally. Consequently, the scale and size of natural disasters, such as typhoons, wind wave, heavy snow, downpours, and storms, have increased. However, compared to other disasters, predicting the timing, location and severity of damages associated with typhoons and other extreme wind wave events is difficult. Accurately predicting the damage extent can reduce the damage scale by facilitating a speedy response. Therefore, in this study, a model to estimate the cost of damages associated with wind waves and their impacts during coastal storms was developed for the Republic of Korea. The history of wind wave and typhoon damages for coastal areas in Korea was collected from the disaster annual report (1991–2020), and the damage cost was converted such that it reflected the inflation rate as in 2020. Furthermore, data on ocean meteorological factors were collected for the events of wind wave and typhoon damages. Using logistic and linear regression, a wind wave damage prediction model reflecting the coastal regional characteristics based on 74 regions nationwide was developed. This prediction model enabled damage forecasting and can be utilized for improving the law and policy in disaster management.

Melvin Aikens This dissertation explores the development of sociopolitical complexity in southwest Korea's Boseong River Valley. One of the main archaeological tasks currently being pur$ued in Korea is charting the emergence of complex society there. This dissertation comprehensively reviews the issues andhistory of research on the subject, then embarks on an analysis of the trajectory towards complexity in a selected region of southwest Korea. A large scale archaeologicalproj ect in the Boseong River Valley during the 1980s rescued a huge corpus of data threatened by the construction of the Juam Dam proj ect, which has remained undigested, never sufficiently organized or analyzed. I draw on this corpus, organizing and analyzingthe data it yields on burial practices and settlement distribution, because these categories of information are particularly usefulin examining key research issues.
