Although recent research has mapped the ecosystem service worldwide, most studies have not obtained accurate results owing to the usage of high-cost and low-resolution data. Hence, herein, carbon storage and carbon uptake per capita are quantified and mapped for all administrative districts of the Seoul Metropolitan City through (1) the analysis of tree cover via on-site tree investigation and aerial imagery and (2) geographic information system (GIS) analysis, targeting the Seoul Metropolitan City of South Korea, which has achieved the highest level of development. Results indicate that the total carbon storage and carbon uptake of Seoul are approximately 1459024 t and 147388 t/yr, respectively; the corresponding per unit area values are approximately 24.03 t/ha and 2.43 t/ha/yr, which are lower than those of other cities. In particular, carbon storage and uptake per capita benefits of the urban areas, except for the urban forest areas, are confirmed to show a maximum difference (~20 times) between the regions.

  • Design Politics: Consumerization of Post-Industrial South Korea Hyun-Joung (Ryan) Lee, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (2013)
    design politics: consumerization of post-industrial south korea hyun-joung (ryan) lee, university of michigan-ann arbor (2013) ABSTRACT In recent years, design has become a main theme in administration of Seoul, the capi- tal of South Korea. Under this theme of design, many projects have taken place, in- cluding a number of public constructions. While the purpose behind supporting “de- sign” as the symbol of Korea is to promote a new national image of post-developed nation, some of the Seoul government’s design projects yielded unintended side ef- fects. Tis paper analyzes the discrepancy between the professed rationale of these projects and the actual consequences through the case of Gwanghwamun and Dong- daemun, and suggests a possible direction for the future of design in Korean politics.

  • The Gangnam-Ization of Korean Urban Ideology
    Chapter 7 The Gangnam-ization of Korean Urban Ideology Bae-Gyoon Park and Jin-bum Jang 1 Introduction If there is one key word that could characterize contemporary Korean cities, it would be ‘apartments’.1 Single-unit housing was a dominant mode of residence in Korea before the 1980s, but the construction of apartments and multi-unit homes has rapidly increased since then. In particular, the development of mas- sive new towns in the Seoul Metropolitan Area from 1989 onward has triggered a flood in the supply of apartments, ushering in a transition to apartment life for most Koreans. Reflecting on this transformation, Gelézeau (2007) dubs Ko- rea the “apartment republic.” Other scholars have also noted how the sudden apartmentization of the country has shaped middle class cultural life (Park H., 2013) and has led to the virtual destruction of previously existing urban com- munities (Park C., 2013). A second key word that characterizes Korea’s urban transformations is ‘new town’. Through the 1980 Housing Site Development Promotion Act, the Korean state supported the construction of several new towns around the country, including Bundang and Ilsan in the Seoul Metro- politan Area. Facing rapid urbanization and a sharp increase in housing de- mand in some cities, the central government sought to quickly develop a large supply of affordable housing. In 1981, it designated and developed eleven new town sites through the Housing Site Development Promotion Act. By Decem- ber 2016, a total of 617 new towns had been developed through the act, ac- counting for a total of 2.5% of the country’s total land area and 24.4% of its urban housing.

  • Kunst Südkorea, Seoul A.Mirzakhani
    SEOUL 서울 WOHNORT ich habe in itaewon, yongsan-gu, 1 1/2 h von unserer partneruniversität gewohnt. das war in ordnung, da ich in der nähe aller stadtzentren war. die mietpreise sind ungefähr wie in frankfurt, jedoch werden sie teilweise stetig teurer. die kautionen die man für zimmer bezahlt sollte man auf jeden fall miteinkalkulieren, weil sie bei 500€+ anfangen. eine gute möglichkeit wohnungen zu finden ist craigslist seoul und home to home in facebook. TRANSPORT wenn man in seoul ist sollte man sich eine tmoney karte kaufen, die funktioniert wie eine pre-paidkarte und ist immer wieder aufladbar. jede fahrt kostet umgerechnet ungefähr 1€ und hält für eine 1h, alle 30 min kommt wieder eine minimale gebühr dazu. züge sind nie zu spät. UNIVERSITÄT: DUKSUNG WOMENS UNIVERSITY die universität liegt sehr weit oben im norden neben dem national park - es ist sehr schön da. sie ist eine frauenuniversität aber für ausländische studierende ist es möglich sich auch als mann zu bewerben. sie ist sehr schulisch und bietet kurse die sich von ihrer aufmachung sehr zu uns unterscheiden. für kunst nicht zu empfehlen, jedoch wenn das interesse an der koreanischen sprache da ist, kann man dort koreanisch lernen. ich habe dort ein halbes jahr modedesign gemacht und einen koreanisch kurs für anfänger belegt. die lehrkräfte waren sehr aufmerksam, hilfreich und zuvorkommend. ich hatte keine probleme an der universität - vorallem das büro für internationale angelegenheiten war unglaublich sweet. es gibt kurse die extra für auslandsstudierende angeboten werden, diese sind auf englisch (zum beispiel korean popculture, korean movies and culture oder korean language).

  • The Social Construction of Inequality in Gangnam District, Seoul1
    Jung In KIM, Matjaž URŠIČ* BESIEGED CITIZENSHIP – THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF INEQUALITY IN GANGNAM DISTRICT, SEOUL1 Abstract. Through an illustrative comparison of squat- ter settlements and gentrified spaces, this study traces the genealogy and formation of extreme poverty at the heart of the most affluent district in Seoul. A site of urban struggle, the villages of Poi and Guryong did not start as spontaneous informal settlements, but as relocated camps of deprivileged social groups whose dislocation was forced by state authorities. After three decades, the Poi and Guryong villages have grown to become contested sites and polar opposites of the hous- ing complex of Tower Place that has is today one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Seoul. On one hand, the Poi and Guryong villages provide a solid commu- 74 nity space for those displaced, yet one which has now become exceptionally valuable real estate that officials wish to reclaim for new development. The article analy- ses the conflict between residents and entails more than any simple narration of the poor’s disenfranchisement and raises the question of the social construction of ine- qualities and poverty in Seoul. Keywords: squatter settlement, urban development, state planning, Gangnam, citizenship Introduction Modern-day Seoul contains rare and sparsely dispersed enclaves of urban squatters, a few of the last relics of past urbanisation (Cho, 1997; Chung and Lee, 2015; Yonhap, 2017). Paralleling contemporary scenes of urban poverty in East Asia, those urban enclaves of poor people and their everyday life juxtapose manifestations of inequality and injustice against * Jung In Kim, PhD, Professor, Soongsil University, Seoul, South Korea; Matjaž Uršič, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

  • The Intercultural Potentials of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Korea: Existentializing Experience and Creative Economy
    Original scientific paper Received: 21 February 2014 Accepted: 25 March 2014 DOI: 10.15176/vol51no108 UDK 39:338(519) The Intercultural Potentials of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Korea: Existentializing Experience and Creative Economy SNJEŽANA ZORIĆ and KIM SANG HUN Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul In this paper we want to thematize intangible cultural heritage under the aspects- of its protection and representative function in promoting Korean culture around the world. We are further interested in its implementation within the newly pro moted concept of creative economy aiming at the self-sustainability of the Korean economy and the creation of new jobs. Korean heritage is seen as a pragmatic tool for the realization of this goal, offering various cultural experiences to the tourists looking for authentic existential experiences, or to Koreans who are willing to learn their own culture anew.
