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.

  • The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO)
    http://www.ide.go.jp A Corporate Business Leader’s Unfulfilled Ambitions to Build a Major Conglomerate —The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO) Foreword The Woongjin Group, which ranked 39th in terms of assets in corporate South Korea, has effectively filed for bankruptcy. In terms of asset scale, the Woongjin Group has less than 5% of the amount of assets held by the Samsung Group. Nonetheless, the Woongjin Group’s bankruptcy filing is sending ripples throughout South Korean society for two main reasons. First, it is South Korea’s first major bankruptcy since the economy abruptly stalled at the start of 2012. Second, the Woongjin Group is one of only a few mid-tier to large South Korean industrial groups that have reached their current position under the leadership of the current owner in a single generation. In this report, we retrace the steps of the Woongjin Group, from its growth to collapse. A Company Founded by a Top Salesman Yoon Seok-keum, founder of the Woongjin Group, was born in 1945 as the child of an impoverished farming family in Gongju City, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. After graduating from the College of Commerce and Economics of Konkuk University, Mr. Yoon joined Korea Britannica Corporation in 1971 as a salesman. Here, Mr. Yoon became No.1 in domestic sales just one month after joining the firm, and in his first year received an award given to Britannica’s highest-performing salesperson out of all 54 countries where the company does business worldwide.

  • Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages
    Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages Chan Hee Lee Department of Cultural Heritage Conservation Sciences, Kongju National University, Gongju, 32588, Republic of Korea Keywords: Korean stone heritages, Conservation, Weathering, Damage, Environmental control. Abstract: In Republic of Korea, a peninsula country located at the eastern region of the Asian continent, is mostly composed of granite and gneiss. The southern Korean peninsula stated approximately 7,000 tangible cultural heritages. Of these, the number of stone heritages are 1,882 (26.8%), showing a diverse types such as stone pagoda (25.8%), stone Buddha statues (23.5%), stone monuments (18.1%), petroglyph, dolmen, fossils and etc. Igneous rock accounts for the highest portion of the stone used for establishing Korean stone heritages, forming approximately 84% of state-designated cultural properties. Among these, granite was used most often, 68.2%, followed by diorite for 8.2%, and sandstone, granite gneiss, tuff, slate, marble, and limestone at less than 4% each. Furthermore, values of the Korean stone heritages are discussed as well as various attempts for conservation of the original forms of these heritages. It is generally known that the weathering and damage degrees of stone heritage are strongly affected by temperature and precipitation. The most Korean stone heritages are corresponded to areas of middle to high weathering according to topography and annual average temperature and precipitation of Korea. Therefore, examination of environmental control methods are required for conservation considering the importance of stone heritages exposed to the outside conditions, and monitoring and management systems should be established for stable conservation in the long term.

  • 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
    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.
