The Commission also ran “On-site Outreach Program” for the socially disadvantaged and handled difficulties of those left out of government welfare by cooperating with relevant agencies. For frequently filed complaints, the ACRC dealt with the underlying cause of them by identifying and working on the room for improvement. The ACRC improved unreasonable institutions to meet the public demand. Particularly, we spared no effort to rectify factors that cause inconveniences and complaints in people’s everyday life, by analyzing complaints received to e-People. For example, the size of a photo which should be submitted to a public institution has been standardized as the size of a passport photo, thereby reliving people’s trouble. The Commission worked to better communicate with people. We established “Idea platform” where people can freely suggest their ideas and where policy alternatives can be drawn up after discussion and votes on such ideas. Also, we provided our support so that people’s voices can be reflected to government policies in a rapid manner In 2008, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights with “Early warning system” and “Complaint forecast service.” Commission (ACRC) was established by integrating Korea Independent Commission against Corruption, Next, the ACRC strengthened institutional foundation for corruption prevention. For example, we enacted the Ombudsman of Korea, and the Administrative “Improper Solicitation and Graft Act,” which will be enforced this September. We will make multifaceted efforts to Appeals Commission. Since then, the ACRC has made come up with enforcement decrees of the Act, while educating and promoting the Act, in order for the successful efforts to provide people-centered “One-stop service” implementation of the Act. to protect people’s rights and interests. We bolstered our efforts to prevent budget waste. The ACRC opened the Center for Reporting Public Subsidy In 2015, marking the third anniversary of the Park Fraud to prevent budget waste in both welfare and non-welfare sectors. Last year, we received and handled a May 2016 Guen-hye Administration, the ACRC focused on total of 340 cases of report and recovered KRW 28.7 billion (for 125 cases). protecting people’s rights and interests and preventing corruption and achieved successful results.

  • Chungcheongnam-Do 충청남도
    © Lonely Planet 318 Chungcheongnam-do 충청남도 It’s close to Seoul and home to the fifth largest city in South Korea, Daejeon, but Chungnam – as it’s more commonly known – is not the most scintillating of provinces. Its attractions are largely very old (5th-century Baekje capitals) or utterly recreational (a bevy of beaches). Much of the buzz in recent years has focused on a new administrative national capital Sejong City, to be built near Gongju, but whether it materialises depends on the political winds in Seoul. For now, it’s Daejeon that’s the capital manqué, with flashy KTX services, all the trappings of modern Korean life and all its lack of urban charms as well. More interesting are the small towns left in its wake: little Geumsan is the hub of the ginseng industry, while Gongju and tiny Buyeo were once capitals of the ancient Baekje dynasty. The latter towns have retained a surprising number of old fortresses, tombs and relics, chief among them the tomb of King Muryeong in Gongju – like King Tut’s tomb, it was uncovered in modern times with all its burial artefacts miraculously intact. The province’s other main draw is its beaches. Daecheon Beach in the south is widely considered to be the best on the western coast, while travellers preferring some solitude can hop on a ferry to one of the nearby islands. To the north is Taean Haean National Park, dotted with more islands, beaches and the promise of wind-whipped fresh air – just what most day-trippers from Seoul are looking for.

  • Korean National Dialogue on Food Security Location: H-Hotel Sejong City, Cheongju-Si, Chungcheongbuk-Do, South Korea Date: Wedne
    Korean National Dialogue on Food Security Location: H-hotel Sejong City, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea Date: Wednessday, 21‎April‎2021 Method The second national dialogue was held on April 21, 2021 to gather public opinions in order to establish directions for sustainable food system policy prior to the UN food system summit scheduled for this September. Total 19 people, including representatives of farmers unions, consumers organizations, food industries, NGOs, government officials, public institutions and specialists from academia participated. Major Focus The dialogue mainly focused on “food security” issues such as stabilizing food supply, maintaining production base, and boosting food crisis response. Also, the needs for international cooperation was discussed to ensure food security and to contribute overcoming current global food crisis. Main Findings As a result of the second meeting, the importance of establishing long-term plans and supporting farm household income, setting adequate level of food self-sufficiency rate, and connecting domestic food production and consumption was emphasized to stabilize food supply and maintain food production base. Also, the importance of securing agricultural manpower for stable food production was presented. To cope with global food crisis, the necessity of securing grain stockpiling and connecting ODA projects with overseas agricultural development projects was suggested. In addition, from the perspective of international cooperation, it was suggested that Korean government needs to share “past development experiences” in agriculture with developing countries and that major grain exporting countries should play a leading role in stabilizing global grain market. There was an opinion that issues related to “small farmers”, “vulnerable farmers” and “elderly farmers” should be considered as important in order for UN food system summit to serve as “A People's Summit”..

    Situation Report Coronavirus Spreading Widely in Multiple Countries as Global Risk Increases Author s: Mathew Mikuni, Senior Regional Analyst – Asia/Pacific Stephanie Kiefer, Senior Regional Analyst – Europe, the Worldwide Caucasus, and Central Asia March 3, 2020 Samson Sampson, Senior Regional Analyst – Middle East and North Africa Josh Strongin, Lead Intelligence Analyst – North America Contact : [email protected] Overview On Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded the global risk assessment for novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to “Very High,” reflecting the fact that the virus is increasing its spread across the world. In recent days, there have been more new cases reported outside mainland China compared to within mainland China. The WHO has said that South Korea, Japan, Italy, and Iran are the organization’s greatest concerns at this time regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. The European Union also raised its risk level to “moderate to high,” with dozens of additional countries reporting COVID-19 cases, while the United States has also reported multiple deaths. There is a growing risk that COVID-19 could spread at a higher pace within these countries or to other countries as well. As of Tuesday, March 3, there have been over 92,000 cases of COVID-19 reported across dozens of countries, which have resulted in at least 3,100 deaths. Around 85 percent of these cases have been reported in mainland China, although this percentage has been decreasing in recent days. Over the past week, China has only reported a few hundred new cases per day, compared to the thousands of cases before, suggesting that at the moment, they are continuing to contain the outbreak.

Applying Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to Solar PV Cases in South Korea Youhyun Lee 1 , Bomi Kim 2 and Heeju Hwang 3,* 1 Department of Public Administration and Police Science, Hannam University, Daejeon 34430, Korea; [email protected] 2 Loan & Deposit Planning Department, Korea Development Bank, Seoul 07242, Korea; [email protected] 3 Public-Private Infrastructure Investment Management Center, Korea Development Institute, Sejong 30149, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 13 July 2020; Published: 17 July 2020 Abstract: To explore the most desirable pathway for a successful local energy transition, a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was conducted on 16 regional cases in South Korea. We developed four propositions based on previous studies and theories as a causal set. Based on the South Korean context, we selected the solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and solar PV expansion rate as barometers for measuring the success of a local energy transition. Our analysis highlights the importance of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) membership (network), local legislation, and the environmental surveillance of locally-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The implications of this study will provide insights for developing or newly industrialized countries where an energy transition is underway. Keywords: local energy transition; fs-QCA; qualitative analysis; South Korean energy policy; solar PV 1. Introduction Can only regions with excellent geographical conditions produce renewable energy? If the answer to this question is “yes,” countries such as South Korea (which has high population density and mountainous topography that occupies 70% of the country) can hardly expect to be capable of utilizing renewable energy.

Received: 2 May 2017; Accepted: 19 June 2017; Published: 24 June 2017 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean climate change vulnerability assessment tool, the Vulnerability Assessment Tool to build Climate Change Adaptation Plan (VESTAP). Based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodology, VESTAP can be used to evaluate Korea’s vulnerability to major climate impacts (including 32 conditions in 8 categories). VESTAP is based on RCP 4.5/8.5 scenarios and can provide evaluation results in 10-year intervals from the 2010s to 2040s. In addition, this paper presents the results of a case study using VESTAP for targeted assessment of health vulnerability to heat waves under the RCP 8.5 scenario for the 2040s. Through vulnerability assessment at the province level in South Korea, Daegu Metropolitan City was identified as the most vulnerable region. The municipality and submunicipality levels of Daegu were also assessed in separate stages. The results indicated that Pyeongni 3-Dong in Seo-Gu was most vulnerable.
