  • Scenario-Based Economic Impact Analysis for Bridge Closures Due to Flooding: a Case Study of North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea
    water Article Scenario-Based Economic Impact Analysis for Bridge Closures Due to Flooding: A Case Study of North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea Byungil Kim 1, Sha Chul Shin 1 and Du Yon Kim 2,* 1 Department of Civil Engineering, Andong National University, 1375 Gyeongdong-ro, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 36729, Korea; [email protected] (B.K.); [email protected] (S.C.S.) 2 School of Construction Engineering, Kyungil University, 50 Gamasil-gil, Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 38428, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-600-5423; Fax: +82-53-600-5439 Received: 31 May 2018; Accepted: 24 July 2018; Published: 25 July 2018 Abstract: Flooding has the ability to severely reduce the capacity of a transportation network. The closure of even a single bridge, which often acts as a critical link in transportation networks, can have a severe impact on the entire network. This impact can lead to significant economic costs resulting from increased travel distances for drivers. Despite the significance of these costs, however, notably few studies have been conducted to determine the societal economic cost that would be incurred due to bridge closures. One possible reason for the lack of studies investigating bridge closures due to flooding could stem from the difficultly in collecting data. To address this issue, the methodology presented in this paper uses modeling and data resources that are available for major cities in most developed countries, including those in South Korea. We evaluate the economic impact of the bridge closures using the new administrative capital of North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea as a case study.

  • The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea.Pdf
    The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea by Byoung-Ik Min A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2013 Keywords: city-county consolidation, technical efficiency, financial status, disparity, local government size, boundary Copyright 2013 by Byoung-Ik Min Approved by Cynthia J. Bowling, Chair, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Steven Brown, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Hua Xu, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Keren Deal, Professor of Accounting Abstract In 1994, the South Korean central government initiated a massive merger of city and county governments, and during the next two years, a total of 40 consolidated cities were established. Following the city-county consolidations, there has been significant debate regarding whether the local mergers achieved the desired effect. This study seeks to determine whether the technical efficiency of the consolidated governments improved following the mergers, whether their financial status improved, and whether the disparities between the urban and rural areas were reduced. The literature review in this study identifies the most significant literature and the most prominent theories pertaining governmental size and boundary. It also highlights local governmental consolidation studies previously conducted in both the U.S. and South Korea. Finally, it describes the South Korean local governmental structure, and discusses the process of the city-county consolidations that took place in South Korea from 1994 through 1995. To facilitate the research and analysis related to the city-county consolidations in South Korea, this study has identified and tests the following three hypotheses: •H1: The technical efficiency of consolidated governments improved following the city-county consolidations.
