Tradition and Commerce in Cultural Districts
Tradition and Commerce in Cultural Districts: A Case Study of Insadong In Seoul, Korea by Jinsun Song A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography – Tourism Policy and Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Jinsun Song 2011 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Cultural clusters with an agglomeration of heritage and historic assets represent national or local history, culture and tradition. Hence, they often become distinctive urban tourism resources supplying multifunctional places for tourists to visit and enjoy. However, the designation of a cultural district by government is not merely a strategy for the preservation of cultural assets and tourism development because a variety of stakeholders, with divergent goals and objectives, are usually involved in the process of converting cultural resources into marketable products. The number of tourists to Insadong, a representative traditional cultural district in Seoul, Korea, has increased rapidly in the last decades with many issues and problems. Insadong is a place where Koreans and foreigners alike experience Korean tradition and it is a unique area where the atmosphere combines both the historical and modern in the centre of the city. The area is also multi-functional, offering a mix of history, entertainment, cuisine, shopping etc. for a mixed clientele. This area has a long history as a cultural business district which was organically generated, but numerous issues and changes have occurred in relation to the commercial development and policy of government. -
Unhyeongung Collection
Unhyeongung Collection 2003 Director’s Message The collection of the Seoul Museum of History consists of items donated by individuals from Seoul and the other parts of the country, items obtained through regular acquisition activities, and the relics from Unhyeongung Palace, which are revealed to the public in this catalogue. Donated relics and acquisitions have been introduced to the public and related specialists through the standing exhibition, special exhibitions, and general exhibitions. The Unhyeongung relics, however, are being presnted for the first time. This catalogue, Unhyeongung Palace Relics I, is the second published by the Seoul Museum of History on relics in its collection following Korean Wood Furniture , which was published in 2002. Sharing information on its collection not only with related specialists but also members of the general public is one part of the museum’s efforts to make itself a relevant part of the lives of the citizens. Though Unhyeongung is diminished in comparison to its heyday, many major buildings still remain, including Norakdang, Noandang, and Irodang. The palace was the private residence of the Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun and the place where his son Gojong was born and raised till the age of 12 when he ascended the throne. In total it served as the home for five generations of royal family members including Yi Jae-myeon, Yi Jun-yong, Yi Woo, and Yi Cheong, and thus has an important place in the modern history of Korea. The Seoul Metropolitan Government acquired the Unhyeongung relics in 1993 when it purchased the palace, and in 1998 it transferred management of the relics to the Seoul Museum of History. -

The Hangul Characters
The Korean language is classified as a member of the Ural-Altaic family (other members of this family include the Mongolian, Finnish, and Hungarian languages.) Until the early 1400s, most documents were written in classical Chinese characters (known in Korean as Hanja). As the idiographs are difficult to learn, only the educated people could read and write. King Sejong, the 4th ruler of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), set up a special committee of scholars in 1443 to create a new writing system specifically suited to the Korean language. The result was Hangul (meaning 'the one script'). It originally contained 28 symbols, although 4 have dropped out of use. The alphabet has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The consonants represent the simplified outlines of the parts of the mouth and tongue used to pronounce them. The vowels are associated with elements of the philosophy of the Book of Changes. In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The simplicity of Hangul led Korea to become one of the most literate countries in the world. U.S. novelist Pearl Buck said that Hangul is the simplest writing system in the world and likenedKing Sejong to Leonardo da Vinci. Even though Hangul is a system of phonetic symbols, it is categorized as new level of feature system, the first and the only in the world. On Oct. 1, 1997, UNESCO designated Hunminjeongeum as world archive property. Koreans commemorate the creation of Hangul each year on October 9. The Hangul Characters Before you begin learning the language, you should take some time to practice writing Hangul. -
Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp
Report 20 18 CEO’s Message After the first publication last year, Kakao Mobility Corp. issued the second kakaomobility Report. Since its launch of Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp. established its independent entity in August 2017, and introduced Kakao T by consolidating Kakao Taxi, Kakao Driver, Kakao Navi, and Kakao Parking. A large amount of travel data has been collected while Kakao Mobility Corp. has been committed to pursuing innovation. This Report shows our society’s dynamic aspects based on our collected mobility data. Many people have contributed to the publication of this Report. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kakao T users who have provided real time travel data. I also would like to thank taxi drivers and designated drivers for responding to surveys and interviews for this Report. Such valuable information will become a meaningful foundation for Kakao Mobility Corp. to improve customer services and constantly pursue innovation. With the age of digital transformation, the mobility industry worldwide has been experiencing a big change. In particular, travel innovation is considered as a meaningful innovation that can make many people’s life safer and more convenient and create more chances for a happier life by broadening the sphere of living. This mobility business is rapidly growing in a world of borderless competition. However, I am very worried that Korea may fall behind global competition and lose a chance to take the lead in innovation due to several regulations and conflicts. It’s time to make a bold leap forward to innovative growth at the national level. -

An Overview of Korean Wooden Architecture1
An Overview of Korean wooden architecture1 Plenary speech by Architect CHO, In-Souk I. Opening remarks One of the challenges we face today in architectural design is to find a globally sustainable design approach. Yet another challenge, when considering the complexity of the rich heritage of Asia and its local wisdom, would be how to differentiate it from other places on earth. The topic of today’s sub- theme is how these two challenges are incorporated or not in the architecture of the region. Besides globalization in general, urbanization and curbing climate change seem to be the two global megatrends that will have the greatest impact on our future. Both will also play an extremely important role in architectural design. The principal function of a house was protection against the weather. The earlier forms of human habitats were crude structures without significant distinguishing characteristics. As human lifestyles diversified and the functions of shelters expanded to accommodate individual and social needs and activities, houses began to assume national, regional and individual characteristics. The natural environment, along with such cultural elements as people’s lifestyles and customs, also played an important role in the evolution of architectural styles. Korean houses, as domestic architecture does in all cultures, showcased people’s everyday activities as well as their history and culture. This presentation will focus on the Korean Perspective regarding the dimensions of a sustainable design approach, examining the Korean traditional house of wooden structure:2 hanok. II. Understanding hanok (Grammar of Hanok) Common considerations incorporated into the design works to be elaborated on later are as follows: careful survey of site condition and location; proper adoption of hierarchy of buildings and courtyards; 1 This is a part of the presentation to “the 15th Asian Congress of Architects” introducing my own design works under the title <Designing Hanok, the Korean Organic House: contemporary Challenges> in Bali, Indonesia October 29. -
