VIII INTECOL International Congress of Ecology August 11~18, 2002 COEX, Seoul, Korea Prof. Chong-kyu Kim, Woo-seok Kong photo Welcome Message
With the start of a new century, it is very meaningful for us to host VIII International Congress of Ecology in Seoul, Korea, during 11-18 August 2002. The main theme of this congress is “Ecology in a Changing World.” As the country wired in arguably the best internet system in the world, we are preparing one of the most high-tech equipped congresses in the history of INTECOL.
Seoul is located within one of the world’s most dynamic and intellectual cultures. With many world-renowned speakers and delegates from all over the world, VIII International Congress of Ecology will provide you with valuable opportunities to enhance your career as well as chances to exchange new ideas and valuable insights. At this congress more than 2,000 papers in various ecological areas will be presented by researchers, administrators, industrial managers and other ecology-related personnel.
We have arranged a variety of exciting and entertaining social gatherings and tour programs, which, we believe, will make your stay more enjoyable and fruitful. The congress will also provide excellent opportunities to experience Korean culture as well as to witness ecological studies and hot spots in Korea. Please do not miss the chance to feel and see everything this congress can offer. I look forward to seeing you all in Seoul in August 2002.
Prof. Dr. Byung-Sun Ihm Vice President of INTECOL Chair, Local Organizing Committee
3 Invitation from INTECOL President
At the beginning of the 21st Century ecological issues have never been more important, both at a global scale and at a national level. The international congresses of ecology provide important fora to learn more about these issues, to discuss recent advances in ecological science, and to highlight deficiencies in our knowledge which we urgently need to address.
The VIII Congress in Seoul, South Korea provides an important opportunity for ecologists to continue the advancement of our science, and to learn at first hand of the many pressing problems that we need to address. On behalf of the Board of INTECOL, I urge as many of you as possible to attend this congress and to contribute to its success. Those of us like me, who have been fortunate enough to enjoy the hospitality of the Ecological Society of Korea in the past, know that we can look forward to a well organised congress full of good science and most rewarding and enjoyable excursions and social events. I am looking forward to the Congress a great deal, and I hope to see many of you in Seoul supporting our Korean colleagues, continuing the advancement of our most important science, renewing old friendships and making many new ones.

Cable cars run to the top, providing a panoramic view of the entire capital city and its surrounding countryside. Moreover, many hundreds of plant species including 191 trees species grow here and squirrels inhabit the area. This is one of the most popular places for citizens of Seoul.
Seoul Tower, constructed from 1969 until 1975, is the first complex broadcasting tower in Korea. It is equipped with TV and FM sending antenna, cable antenna, communication antenna, and internet sending antenna. It was first opened to the public in October 1980. Seoul Tower Observatory is an excellent tourist destination, where you can see how the city of Seoul has developed over the last 600 years.
Hanok Village (named after a traditional Korean style house) was opened to the public in April 1998. Five traditional Korean houses have been restored on a 7,934m2 site. Since the houses of noblemen in the late Chosun era have been restored along with houses of middle class and commoners, one can compare the architectural styles, housing structures, and space arrangements while enjoying the beauty of Hanok.
Myeong-dong is a first-rate shopping and entertainment area. It is noted for its eating, drinking, and entertainment establishments, frequented by crowds of all ages. Many of the city’s top stores are located in the narrow alleys of Myeong-dong. Major fashion designers have boutiques here and foreign brand-name products and shoe stores can be found in abundance. In addition to its shops, Myeong-dong contains a variety of financial institutions such as banks, stock and investment companies.
