  • Empirical Analysis for Impact of High-Speed Rail Construction on Interregional Dependency
    applied sciences Article Empirical Analysis for Impact of High-Speed Rail Construction on Interregional Dependency Meina Zheng 1, Feng Liu 2 , Xiucheng Guo 1,* and Juchen Li 1 1 Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Urban ITS, School of Transportation, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China; [email protected] (M.Z.); [email protected] (J.L.) 2 School of Economics and Management, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 27 July 2020; Published: 30 July 2020 Abstract: The opening of the high-speed rail (HSR) resulted in significant changes in the transportation network of Korea. The new HSR construction was expected to become a new engine of local economic growth. However, there was a controversy regarding whether the connection between regions intensifies the concentration of socio-economic activities in the metropolis (straw effect) or contributes to the balance of regional development (sprawl effect). More increasing attention had been devoted to studying the “straw effects” caused by the newly built HSR networks on interregional social-economic activities. Despite considerable research on the benefit achieved from HSR construction, little has focused on the negative externalities resulting from it. This paper examined the potential “straw effects” of two new HSR lines through constructing the indicator of interregional dependency that measured one city’s level of dependency on another one. In order to exclude the interference of lurking variables, five metropolitan cities were selected as case studies. The empirical results, based on a panel data model, revealed that the larger the economic scale of the target city, the lower the level of dependency on other cities, and there existed a “straw effect” on HSR development in terms of Seoul.

  • Press Release Gallery
    Pontone PRESS RELEASE GALLERY Lee Jeonglok Parallel Worlds: Tree of Life & Nabi 30 June – 23 July 2017 Opening reception Thursday 29 June | 6–8 pm Lee Jeonglok is an established Korean artist, represented in many international collections, with an extensive, world-wide record of solo and group exhibitions. He has shown frequently with the Pontone Gallery and we are pleased to showcase these new and exclusive works. Lee Jeonglok uses photography to create and record his world. He makes mysterious and evocative images of strange and magical events. These happen in carefully chosen, personally significant landscapes, realised by a thorough mastery of photographic technique. The production of these pieces is a complex and painstaking process. These images are not made digitally, but by an ‘in camera’ technique. This means using long and multiple exposures, manipulating artificial light and deploying various props on site and in real time. The physicality and engagement of this process is important to the artist. He states that this effort allows him to Tree of Life 6-1 reveal another, parallel world. 2017 | C-Type Print | Edition of 7 + AP 2 | 152 x 120 cm (60 x 47 in) ‘Nabi’, the butterfly, is a valued image and symbol. It is an interlocutor to the spiritual world, somewhere that is significant for this artist to locate and reveal in his work. This image, created out of light, multiplies into clusters and bunches, forming clouds that glow and sparkle in the landscape. Existing only for an instant, the length of a photoflash, these ‘Nabi’ express something other, a world conjured out of the artist’s perception and now revealed to us.

  • Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea
    sustainability Article Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea Hye-Kyoung Lee , Young-Hoon Bae , Jong-Yeong Son and Won-Hwa Hong * School of Architectural, Civil, Environmental and Energy Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.B.); [email protected] (J.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-950-5597 Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 9 June 2020 Abstract: Regional demographic changes are important regional characteristics that need to be considered for the establishment of disaster prevention policies against climate change worldwide. In this study, we propose urban disaster prevention plans based on the classification and characterization of flood vulnerable areas reflecting demographic changes. Data on the property damage, casualties, and flooded area between 2009 and 2018 in 229 municipalities in South Korea were collected and analyzed, and 74 flood vulnerable areas were selected. The demographic change in the selected areas from 2000 to 2018 was examined through comparative analyses of the population size, rate of population change, and population change proportion by age group and gender. Flood vulnerable areas were categorized into three types through K-mean cluster analysis. Based on the analysis results, a strategic plan was proposed to provide information necessary for establishing regional flood-countermeasure policies. Keywords: urban disaster prevention plan; flood vulnerability; climate change; demographic change; cluster analysis 1. Introduction Floods are one of the most dangerous and destructive natural hazards that can cause human loss and economic damages [1–3]. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of flooding and the extent of damage caused by it [4–6].
