  • Korea Real Estate Market Report
    Vol. 5 Korea Real Estate Market Report 2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook Real Estate Research Institute of KAB KAB Real Estate Market Report Greetings This is the fifth volume of the Korea Appraisal Board (KAB) Real Estate Market Report (2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook). With the enactment of the Korea Appraisal Board Act in September 2016, KAB has undergone a transformation from an organization specializing in real estate appraisal to an organization dedicated to real estate market surveys and management as well as making announcements of official land value and related statistics. Maintaining order and stability in the Korean real estate market is an especially important task undertaken by KAB. The KAB Real Estate Market Report published semiannually in the first and second halves of the year provides reliable information on the real estate market including the future outlook, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the current trends, with the aim of ensuring order in the real estate market. The real estate market in Korea in 2016 became more stable compared to the previous year due to the influence of the economic slowdown and the new loan restriction policy concerning tighter loan review regulations. Notable trends in the year included the overheated pre-construction parceling-out market for the Gangnam reconstruction projects and the rise in housing prices in the Seoul Capital Area; however, following the announcement of the real estate policy on November 3, 2016 speculative investments declined, and the market became more stabilized centering on actual demand. Also, in some of the regions outside the Seoul Capital Area, real estate prices began to be on a downturn as a result of an industrial recession and increased housing supply.

  • Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 52 ( 2015 ) 178 – 185 The 6th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT 2015) Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data a a a a a Ji-Young Song , Jin Ki Eom* , Kwang Sub Lee , Jae Hong Min , Keun Yul Yang a Korea Railroad Research Institute, Ui-Wang, Kyung-Ki, 437-050, South Korea Abstract This study evaluated transit service performance in Seoul using data collected from the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system in Seoul. The distance-based fare system in Seoul allows a maximum of four transfers with no additional charges to encourage transit ridership. In order to analyze the transit transfers, this study developed quantitative indicators for public transportation evaluations differentiated from those of previous studies by the fact that it utilizes data mining techniques which incorporate massive amounts of data (over 10 million transits per day) derived from the smart card system. This study not only carried out an evaluation to improve public transportation quality but provided comparative analysis of the mobility handicapped and an evaluation of public transportation users’ regional equity. This evaluative analysis of Level of Services (LOS) for various items is expected to be adopted for analyzing LOS status and generating improvement priorities and to be utilized as an objective database for public transportation policy decisions. ©© 20120155 TheElsevier Authors.

  • Is Free Public Transportation Feasible in Korea?
    1. Introduction Public transportation is defined as a shared passenger transport service with a scheduled timetable and specific route that is available for use by the general public.1) Public transportation modes include buses, metro (subway), trams, trolleybuses, ferries etc. and are distinct from modes such as taxicabs, carpools or hired buses, which are not shared among strangers without private arrangement. Public transportation between cities is dominated by intercity (express) buses, intercity rail, and airlines. Is Free Public Transportation Feasible in Korea? Public transportation provides the general public the basic mobility services to employment, community resources, medical care, and recreational opportunities in communities. People who do not have access to a private motor vehicle such as young students, the aged, the poor, and people banned from driving use public transportation for their travel. Some people also choose to use public transportation since it is cheaper than the cost of driving a car. Public transport services can be operated and managed by profit-driven companies or partially or fully funded by government subsidies. In many Asian countries, public transportation services are predominantly run by privately owned profit-driven companies. In North America, public transportation services are provided by municipal transit authorities. In European countries, public transport operations are often outsourced to private transport operators.2) 1) In some areas, the terms “mass transit”, “public transit”, “public transport” are used for public transportation. 2) Wikipedia, “Public Transport”, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport (accessed on Jul. 23, 2014). July / August┃2014┃Vol 19┃No 4 27 Most public transportation services are financed with the farebox revenue from the fare paying passengers and/or government subsidies via tax revenues.

  • Designing Housing and Urban Policies to Address a Population Shift to the Suburbs
    POLICY BRIEF Designing Housing and Urban Policies to Address a Population Shift to the Suburbs Newly constructed resident complex in the Republic of Korea. Photo credit: KRIHS. A study shows reducing involuntary migration to peripheries of the Greater Seoul Area requires policy interventions to regulate housing cost and supply. Published: 23 July 2018 Introduction A strong correlation between population movement patterns and the housing segment The total population living in Seoul, capital of the Republic of Korea, has recently fallen below the 10- million mark. An “exodus” from Seoul is widely discussed in the media as a social issue, drawing attention to population movements and related changes in the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area. Indeed, population changes are closely related to the housing segment, showing a strong correlation with housing and urban management. Population movements in the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area drive changes in household composition by region, causing new housing and urban issues. The supply of houses is not only influenced by changes in housing demand resulting from population movement but also affects population movement. That is, residential movement interacts with the supply of new houses and housing problems and exhibits a strong correlation with various housing and urban problems. The Greater Seoul Area, or Seoul Capital Area, is the metropolitan area of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi province. Importance of policy responses to population movement to improve housing conditions Given the strong correlation between residential movement and various housing and urban issues, policy measures should be established by clearly identifying the link between residential movement patterns and the regional characteristics of new housing supplies in order to address housing and urban problems caused by residential movement.

  • Application of Traffic State Prediction Methods to Urban Expressway Network in the City of Seoul
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.11, 2015 Application of Traffic State Prediction Methods to Urban Expressway Network in the City of Seoul Youngho Kim a, Woojin Kang b, Minju Park c a,b,c The Korea Transport Institute, 370 Sicheong-daero, Sejong-si, 339-007, Korea a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] c Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper proposes a traffic state prediction method based on two perspectives; short-term and long-term prediction. Modified KNN method is used for short-term prediction from recent 2 years of historical data set. Pattern of the day of the week is used to predict long-term. To overcome the gap between the result of short-term and long-term prediction, the weighted average for two predicted results is considered as the final predicted result. The proposed method is tested in the real urban expressway network and the performance of the proposed method is evaluated in this paper. Keywords: K-nearest neighbor, K-NN, short-term prediction, long-term prediction 1. INTRODUCTION Drivers usually precede a trip by checking out the traffic conditions for their route using computers, smart phones, or navigation systems. Even after they determine their travel route based on the information prior to the departure, they constantly look for the optimal travel route through navigation systems while driving. This is why the predicted traffic information is getting more important the advanced route planning. The predicted traffic information is produced in two steps, traffic state estimation and traffic state prediction.
