  • Optimal Rescue Ship Locations Using Image Processing and Clustering
    S S symmetry Article Optimal Rescue Ship Locations Using Image Processing and Clustering Cho-Young Jung 1 and Sang-Lok Yoo 2,* 1 Department of Marine Science and Production, Kunsan National University, Gunsan 54150, Jeonbuk, Korea; [email protected] 2 Mokpo Maritime University, Mokpo 58628, Jeonnam, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-61-240-7175 Received: 15 October 2018; Accepted: 11 December 2018; Published: 2 January 2019 Abstract: Currently, globalization of the world economy has also resulted in a shipping volume increase. 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.

  • Spatial Variations in Fertility of South Korea: a Geographically Weighted Regression Approach
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Spatial Variations in Fertility of South Korea: A Geographically Weighted Regression Approach Myunggu Jung 1 , Woorim Ko 2, Yeohee Choi 3 and Youngtae Cho 2,* 1 Department of Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK; [email protected] 2 Department of Public Health Science, Graduate School of Public Health, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] 3 Department of Social Welfare, Graduate School of Social Welfare, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-880-2820 Received: 5 May 2019; Accepted: 4 June 2019; Published: 5 June 2019 Abstract: South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates in the last few decades. Although there has been a large volume of literature exploring the determinants of low fertility in South Korea, studies on spatial variations in fertility are scarce. This study compares the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to investigate the potential role of the spatially heterogeneous response of the total fertility rate (TFR) to sociodemographic factors. The study finds that the relationships between sociodemographic factors and TFRs in South Korea vary across 252 sub-administrative areas in terms of both magnitude and direction. This study therefore demonstrates the value of using spatial analysis for providing evidence-based local-population policy options in pursuit of a fertility rebound in South Korea. Keywords: low fertility; spatial analysis; GIS; regional fertility differentials; total fertility rate 1. Introduction In the last few decades, South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Hydrogen Economy South Korea Market Intelligence Report January 2021 Forewords
    The Hydrogen Economy South Korea Market Intelligence Report January 2021 Forewords South Korea is setting out its stall to be a global leader in the development of a hydrogen-based economy. The Korean government has committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and in July 2020, announced its Green New Deal, committing to £13bn fiscal investment by 2025 in green mobility. One of the key elements of that push is the development of hydrogen vehicles; South Korea hopes to produce 500,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for export and domestic consumption by 2030. As this report outlines, the hydrogen market in South Korea will almost double in size from £9.1bn in 2020 to £17.3bn by 2030, with the growth driven largely by investment from large local players such as Hyundai and Doosan. The UK is expected to announce its own Hydrogen Strategy in early 2021. But there is already a growing awareness in South Korea that the UK is a world leader in the fields of basic science, advanced materials and fuel cells. This offers huge opportunities for UK fuel cell and hydrogen companies with both public and private sectors investing heavily in the nascent hydrogen economy. We hope that this report, produced in partnership with Intralink, helps set out in more detail where these opportunities lie and the DIT team in Seoul stand ready to support UK companies looking to enter the South Korean hydrogen market. Mike Mike Welch Director Trade and Investment DIT Seoul, British Embassy Seoul I wish to offer my sincere congratulations to the British Embassy Seoul on the release of the market report “The Hydrogen Economy South Korea” this year.
