The Paleolithic Age, the First Culture History Gallery 1 in History We have now arrived in the Paleolithic Room. During the Paleolithic Age, humans started to use fire, invented tools, and developed a culture. The first humans inhabited Korea from about 700,000 years ago. They were hunter-gatherers and led a nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place to find sufficient food and seeking shelter in caves or on the banks of rivers. The people of the Paleolithic Age initially used natural stones as tools, but gradually began to break and shape them to remove their efficiency. Large, clumsy tools were used at first, but over time the tools were refined and a variety of sharper and smaller tools were developed for different purposes. During the later period of the Paleolithic Age, the stone tools were used in conjunction with pieces of timber or horn. As stone working techniques became even more developed, it was possible to reproduce the same tool. - 2 - Prehistoric and Ancient 2. The Making of Chipped Stone Tools History Gallery 1 [Narration] These are stone tools from the Paleolithic Age. [Tourist] They’re tools? They look like normal stones to me. [Narration] They do, yes, but they really are chipped stone tools that Paleolithic people made and used for many different purposes. [Tourist] How did they chip the stones? [Narration] The simplest method they used was to smash one stone with another stone and hope for the best! Later on, they used stone hammers or horns to chip the stone in a more directed, controlled manner.

  • Economic Assessment of Flood Control Facilities Under Climate Uncertainty: a Case of Nakdong River, South Korea
    sustainability Article Economic Assessment of Flood Control Facilities under Climate Uncertainty: A Case of Nakdong River, South Korea Kyeongseok Kim 1,* ID and Ji-Sung Kim 2 ID 1 School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03277, Korea 2 Hydro Science and Engineering Research Institute, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, Goyang-Si 10223, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2123-7940 Received: 6 November 2017; Accepted: 24 January 2018; Published: 25 January 2018 Abstract: Climate change contributes to enhanced flood damage that has been increasing for the last several decades. Understanding climate uncertainties improves adaptation strategies used for investment in flood control facilities. This paper proposes an investment decision framework for one flood zone to cope with future severe climate impacts. This framework can help policy-makers investigate the cost of future damage and conduct an economic assessment using real options under future climate change scenarios. The proposed methodology provides local municipalities with an adaptation strategy for flood control facilities in a flood zone. Using the proposed framework, the flood prevention facilities in the Nakdong River Basin of South Korea was selected as a case study site to analyze the economic assessment of the investments for flood control facilities. Using representative concentration pathway (RCP) climate scenarios, the cost of future flood damage to 23 local municipalities was calculated, and investment strategies for adaptation were analyzed. The project option value was determined by executing an option to invest in an expansion that would adapt to floods under climate change. The results of the case study showed that the proposed flood facilities are economically feasible under both scenarios used.

The aim of this study is to introduce the structure and operation protocol of a living and treatment support centre (LTSC) operated by Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea. The existing accommodation facility was converted into a 'patient centre' where patients was isolated. A few Medical staff here performed medical tests and responded to emergencies. Another part of the LTSC was 'remote monitoring centre'. In this center, patients’ self-measured vital signs and symptoms were monitored twice a day, and the medical staff staying here provided video- consultation via a smartphone.

In June 2019, the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Water Management was promulgated and the Presidential and Basin Water Commissions having a function to mediation water disputes consisted. Even though various organizations are managing to public conflicts including water disputes before the Water Commissions, many water disputes are still going on nationwide, and the social costs to be paid continue to increase. In order for the Water Commissions to perform the function of water dispute mediation well, it is necessary to accurately grasp the problems of water dispute mediation in the past and come up with measures to overcome them.

  • Lessons Learned from the Daegu-Gumi Water Intake Source Conflict in Korea
    Article From Collaborative to Hegemonic Water Resource Governance through Dualism and Jeong: Lessons Learned from the Daegu-Gumi Water Intake Source Conflict in Korea Ki Woong Cho 1 and Kyujin Jung 2,* 1 Department of Public Administration and New Publicness Education and Research in the New Normal Era, Brain Korea 21 Plus, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Public Administration and the Graduate School of Governance, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul 03063, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-760-0253 Received: 24 October 2018; Accepted: 20 November 2018; Published: 25 November 2018 Abstract: Recently, water supplies have been insufficient in some areas. In South Korea, using dualism and Jeongish citizenship, we will demonstrate why collaborative governance of the Daegu– Gumi Water Commission has not worked and how it has been mismanaged by its stakeholders. We discuss the conflict between the Daegu Metropolitan City (hereafter referred to as City of Daegu) and the City of Gumi regarding the relocation of the water intake source. In response to many water pollution accidents, the City of Daegu decided to move the water intake source to near the City of Gumi. Due to a conflict between the cities on this issue, the city established a collaborative governance entity, the Daegu–Gumi Water Commission. However, this form of governance was not successful, and eventually, the Daegu–Gumi Water Commission moved from collaborative governance to hegemonic governance. This was due to dualism and Jeongish citizenship with weak membership, participation, experience, and social capital on the local level as South Korean civil societies tend to have insufficient power and experience to fulfill their intentions or negotiate successfully.
