Jeollabuk-Do 전라북도 © Lonely Planet 305 Jeollabuk-do 전라북도 The southwestern province of Jeollabuk-do (www.jeonbuk.go.kr) is Korea’s rice bowl. The image of white egrets standing in terraced rice fields is a provincial icon. As Korea’s agricul- tural heartland, this fertile, green area has influenced Korean cuisine more than any other part of the country. For foodies, no trip to Korea is complete without eating your way through Jeollabuk-do. The provincial capital city of Jeonju is a must-stop for any fan of Korean food, especially for its most well-known export, bibimbap, a dish of rice, meat and vegetables served up by countless restaurants nationwide and abroad. Rural Jeollabuk-do is an outdoor-lover’s paradise. Much of this province is parkland. With unspoilt national and provincial parks covering its beautiful mountains, this rural province offers some of Korea’s finest get-away-from-it-all hikes and scenery. In summer, sun wor- shippers head out to the white sandy beaches of the West Sea islands like Seonyu-do. In JEOLLABUK-DO the winter, thrill-seekers descend on the slopes of Muju Ski Resort, offering the highest and most picturesque slopes in Korea. Jeollabuk-do is deeply tied to its traditional culture and roots. Buddhist temples and folk villages abound. Modern Jeonju bumps up against its historic urban village of hanok (tradi- tional houses) containing craft workshops, museums and rustic teashops. The province is the birthplace of pansori, a traditional musical drama performed by a singer and drummer.

The distance between Seonunsa Temple entrance and Dosoram Hermitage is 3.2 kilometers. Follow the trail along Dosolcheon Ravine, if you want to climb Seonunsan Mountain. The name 'Seonunsan' means “a mountain to meditate in the clouds”. It's also called Dosolsan Mountain. It’s a Buddhist name, meaning, “learn the teachings of Buddha”. As its name suggests, it’s a special mountain for those wishing to attain enlightenment and live by the Buddhist doctrines. If you’re here in the summer, the stream in the ravine makes a great place to rest in the shades. After the heat of the summer, you’ll see red spider lilies all around you as you walk on the lower trail of the mountain, making your walk more pleasant. Some people think it's sad that the flowers bloom only after all the leaves have fallen. More people come to this place in the early autumn to see the red tinged leaves. In your walk on the trail, listen to the clear sound of the water flowing. It may relax your mind. 2.

  • 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.

  • Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea
    sustainability Article Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea Hye-Kyoung Lee , Young-Hoon Bae , Jong-Yeong Son and Won-Hwa Hong * School of Architectural, Civil, Environmental and Energy Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.B.); [email protected] (J.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-950-5597 Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 9 June 2020 Abstract: Regional demographic changes are important regional characteristics that need to be considered for the establishment of disaster prevention policies against climate change worldwide. In this study, we propose urban disaster prevention plans based on the classification and characterization of flood vulnerable areas reflecting demographic changes. Data on the property damage, casualties, and flooded area between 2009 and 2018 in 229 municipalities in South Korea were collected and analyzed, and 74 flood vulnerable areas were selected. The demographic change in the selected areas from 2000 to 2018 was examined through comparative analyses of the population size, rate of population change, and population change proportion by age group and gender. Flood vulnerable areas were categorized into three types through K-mean cluster analysis. Based on the analysis results, a strategic plan was proposed to provide information necessary for establishing regional flood-countermeasure policies. Keywords: urban disaster prevention plan; flood vulnerability; climate change; demographic change; cluster analysis 1. Introduction Floods are one of the most dangerous and destructive natural hazards that can cause human loss and economic damages [1–3]. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of flooding and the extent of damage caused by it [4–6].

The destruction of coastal forests caused by R. undulata infection has been mainly associated with bonfires at camping sites. However, Rhizina root rot was observed in the western coastal forests without fire. It was hypothesized that Rhizina root rot in this area might be closely related to the soil salinity, which can facilitate the growth and survival of R. undulata. So, the variation in sodium chloride (NaCl) resistance among isolates of Rhizina undulata was compared using liquid media containing different concentrations of NaCl ranging from 0 mM to 300 mM.
