  • Seoul City's Social Innovation Strategy: a Model of Multi-Channel
    Seoul City’s social innovation strategy: A model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement. Sunkyung Han, Jungwon Kim, Sojung Rim and AhYoung Park Spreadsi, South Korea Social Frontiers The next edge of social innovation research Social Frontiers Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: 2 a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen govern- ance and citizen engagement Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement Jungwon Kim1, Sunkyung Han, Ahyoung Park and Sojung Rim Abstract Over the past two years, Seoul Metropolitan Government has significantly changed the way it engages with its citizens – moving away from a one-way public communication model towards a system with greater focus on getting citizens more involved in decision-making process. Seoul Metropolitan Government has developed various communication channels that open up two-way dialogue between the city administration and citizens. This research paper explores how these new communication channels are creating a culture, which encourages city administration to engage with citizens who provide information about their needs and help shape new ideas. The research results show that Seoul Metropolitan Government’s multi-channel communication builds shared understanding and trusting relationship among various stakeholders including citizens. It enables them to become partners in co-creating innovative solutions to problems of our society. 1 Introduction Social innovation is gaining considerable interest in public policy discourse all around the world and South Korea is no exception. Ever since a well-known social innovator, Wonsoon Park, be- came the Mayor of Seoul in October 2011, there has been a shift towards a participatory and open dialogue between the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and Seoul citizens.

These are the 5 directional colors called ‘o-bang-saek’ in Korean. Based on Yín-Yáng Schòol, our ancestors prayed for good luck and thought those colors even drove bad forces out. To Koreans, o-bang-saek is more than just a combination of colors. It is meaningful in various areas such as space, philosophy, wisdom, etc. While o-bang-saek is representative color of Korea, the space representing Korea is the Hangang (river). Having been the basis of people’s livelihood, the Hangang flows through the heart of Seoul and serves as the space linking nature, the city and human beings. So let’s take a look at the river through the prism of o-bang-saek, the traditional color of Korea.

  • Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul
    Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul Date 2015-06-25 Category Environment Updater ssunha This report explores the park and green space policies of the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) by period, from the time Korea opened its ports to the outside world until today. The periods are: modernization and Japanese colonial rule; the first and second republics; the third and fourth republics; the fifth and sixth republics; and local autonomous government administrations elected by popular vote. For each period, this report examines the institutional and spatial changes in urban parks. Modernization & Japanese Colonial Rule: The Dawn of Urban Parks Defining Characteristics: Mountains and valleys serving as parks (Joseon Dynasty); Independence Park (Open-door Period); destruction of cultural heritage (Japanese colonial government) The concept of parks and green spaces as planned facilities was introduced as a byproduct of modernization in the late 19th and early 20th century. Of course there had been places that served as parks and green spaces ever since the Kingdom of Joseon moved its capital to today’s Seoul in 1394. The city is surrounded by an inner ring of 4 mountains and an outer ring of another 4 mountains, with the Han River flowing east to west. During the Joseon Dynasty, the walled city was located to the north of the Han, and the significance of the inner ring of Bugak Mountain, Inwang Mountain, Nak Mountain, and Nam Mountain was profound as the city walls were built on their ridges. Scholars of old would visit nearby mountain valleys where they wrote and recited poems for leisure.

  • The By-Election for Seoul Mayor.Pdf
    Game Changer: The By-Election for Seoul Mayor An analysis of the October 26 by-election exit poll The Asan Institute for Policy Studies Woo Jung-Yeop Lisa Collins Many observers claimed that the by-election that took place on October 26 would not only determine the new mayor of Seoul, but would also forecast the results of next year’s presidential election. In order to further analyze the by- election results, the Asan Institute for Policy Studies conducted an exit poll to investigate why and how voters cast their ballots. Previous exit polls only predicted who would win the presidential election. Our survey differs from past exit polls because we examine in detail voters’ rationale for supporting a particular candidate. Using alternative questions and methodology, we believe that our survey results will help shed more light on voters’ behavior and decision making processes. Background on the Seoul Mayoral By-Election In the October 26 by-election, Park Won-soon, an independent candidate and lawyer-turned-activist, defeated Na Kyung-won, a candidate from the ruling Grand National Party (GNP). Park won the election with 53.3 percent of the vote against Na’s 46.3 percent. Korean politics have been on a rollercoaster ride since last August when former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon staked his position as mayor on the results of a referendum. It began with a battle between Oh and the Seoul City Council. The City Council, which is dominated by opposition party members, decided earlier this year to provide free lunches to all 850,000 elementary and middle school students in Seoul.

    Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia Vol. 18, No. 1: 153-174 DOI: 10.17477/jcea.2019.18.1.153 Collaboration and Confucian Reflexivity in Local Energy Governance: The Case of Seoul’s One Less Nuclear Power Plant Initiatives 1 Youhyun Lee 2, Suho Bae3 South Korea's energy policy has been historically established through an energy production structure that relies on thermal and nuclear power generation in relation to a centralized ‘Hard Energy System’. However, climate change issues are forcing the transition to renewable energy, and it is crucial for local governments to enable this. This study analyses Seoul city’s local energy governance, which is known as One Less Nuclear Power Plant Initiative, by applying the collaborative governance framework inspired by Ansell and Gash (2008) and the Reflexivity framework of Confucianism. It is considered that the local energy governance model of Seoul city can be used as a model by other local governments, and it will eventually lead to a decentralized energy system in this era of energy transition. Keywords: Local Energy Governance; Confucian Reflexivity; Collaborative Governance, Energy Decentralization Introduction South Korea (herein referred to as ‘Korea’) has had very conservative-high dependence on nuclear, petroleum and central government leading-in approach to coping with energy transition issues. In addition to becoming the 11th largest global economy (based on International Monetary Fund Stats in 2017), Korea has played a leading role in the green-growth paradigm. However, the current emphasis of the Korean government is more on “growth” than “green” 1 The original draft was first presented in IPPA, 3rd International Conference on Public Policy in Singapore June, 2017.

  • 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.

    ROAD PRICING FOUR-YEAR-OLD NAMSAN TUNNEL CONGESTION PRICING SCHEME IN SEOUL －Success or Failure?－ Bongsoo SON, Ph. D. Kee Yeon HWANG, Ph. D. Department of Urban Transportation Department of Urban Transportation Seoul Development Institute Seoul Development Institute Seoul, Korea Seoul, Korea (Received December 15, 2001) The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of the congestion pricing scheme at Namsan #1 and #3 tunnels in downtown Seoul four years after its implementation. The effectiveness of the scheme was measured by the changes of various traffic impacts. The traffic volume of the two tunnels was reduced by up to 25% for the first month. After that time, the traffic volume started to increase again and then exceeded the previous volume level. However, average travel speed of the two tunnel corridors improved by up to 74%. The overall traffic volume of the four alter- native routes was increased; nevertheless, their average travel speed increased as well. The number of carpool vehicles occupied by 3 or more persons including the driver during the peak periods was remarkably increased. Before the congestion fee charging, toll-charged vehicles amounted to 68.5% of the total traffic volume of the two tunnels, and then the share dropped to 29% afterwards. The empirical analysis results for the effective- ness of the congestion pricing scheme are very promising. Key Words: TDM, Congestion, Pricing, Effectiveness, Seoul 1.

  • Park Won-Soon Seoul
    Voice of the Mayors Park Won-Soon Seoul People are the hope Park Won-Soon Voice of the Mayors 1 About Voice of the Mayors Celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, METROPOLIS wishes to leverage the unique experience of its members, represented by the mayors of the major metro- polises, presidents and governors of metropolitan regions. Too often, the expertise of these high-ranking offi cials is lost once their term has come to an end. However, at a time when global urban development is quickening its pace, their experience is more benefi cial than ever for the new generations of local decision-makers, the entire spectrum of public and private local development stakeholders and partners in the international community. In its capacity as a network of the world’s major metropolises, METROPO- LIS also seeks to make an active contribution to the current international debate concerning the revision of the Millennium Development Goals, negotiations on cli- mate change and the preparations for the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III). This is how the idea for Voice of the Mayors came into being, as a wealth of fi rst-hand testimonies from local and regional leaders whose experience deser- ves to be recounted and disseminated. Bequeathing this legacy also conveys the willingess of METROPOLIS members to share their experiences and to enhance the exchange of knowledge, a concerted eff ort to contribute towards shaping sustai- nable urban development worldwide. Upon the creation of METROPOLIS in 1984, the 14 founding members expressed their desire to work together to strengthen their mutual capacities to manage their cities.
