Siderostictae were revealed by morphological and molecular studies. The morphological characteristics of Korean Carex siderosticta Hance, which is a type species of sect. Siderostictae, was first reviewed in comparison with previous records in order to identify the difference. Then the distribution map of this species was formulated through previous floral literatures and voucher specimens. Although the leaf shape which is represented by length/width ratio showed a great variation depending on habitat condition, the rhizome creeping patterns, the presence of hair on the surface leaf margin and perigynium were shown to be good diagnostic characters to define delimitation of species level. The results from molecular study supported C. ciliatomarginata Nakai should be ranked independently on species level. Key words - Sect.

  • Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE 5 Volume 2, Number I, 2004, pp. 5-45 Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks Marc L. Miller' and Sung-Gwi Kim" ABSTRACT In concert with an ambitious national agenda that emphasizes free trade and globalization, lncheon Metropolitan City is taking the first steps toward reinventing itself to become a twenty-first century "Pentaport" with integrated Seaport, Airport, Technoport, Business Port, and Leisure Port components. The lncheon Pentaport transformation-projected to be complete by 2020-will entail significant industrial, sociological, and institutional modification. Leisure Port objectives can be achieved through responsible planning attuned to the ideal of sustainable development and by empirical studies of lncheon tourism and leisure dynamics. International benchmarks of leisure port success are found in Sydney, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; and San Diego, USA, among seven other cosmopolitan cities. Growth estimations for coastal ferry passengers; beach use; recreational vessels and yachts in the lncheon region are encouraging. lncheon Leisure Port development of ten amenity destinations will require equal and multidisciplinary attention to questions of tourism design and tourism impacts. Important issues will concern environmental quality, clean shipping practices, the proper balance of modem and traditional amenities and attractions, trade-offs of cultural homogeneity and cultural diversity, and creative destination branding and marketing, among others. Keywords: lncheon, Leisure, Leisure Port, Pentaport, Tourism, Sustainable Development.

Widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, West Siberia, Iran, Pakistan, India, Canada, and the United States. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan and has a wide variety of over 200 types. It symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence. The beauty of this modest flower gives a dazzling adorn to South Korea, making it as one of the major tourist attraction every spring season. Thus, walking under the arrays of cherry blossom trees along the Han River, royal palaces, parks and every corner of Seoul is such a wonderful scenery and pleasure.

  • The Hangul Characters
    The Korean language is classified as a member of the Ural-Altaic family (other members of this family include the Mongolian, Finnish, and Hungarian languages.) Until the early 1400s, most documents were written in classical Chinese characters (known in Korean as Hanja). As the idiographs are difficult to learn, only the educated people could read and write. King Sejong, the 4th ruler of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), set up a special committee of scholars in 1443 to create a new writing system specifically suited to the Korean language. The result was Hangul (meaning 'the one script'). It originally contained 28 symbols, although 4 have dropped out of use. The alphabet has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The consonants represent the simplified outlines of the parts of the mouth and tongue used to pronounce them. The vowels are associated with elements of the philosophy of the Book of Changes. In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The simplicity of Hangul led Korea to become one of the most literate countries in the world. U.S. novelist Pearl Buck said that Hangul is the simplest writing system in the world and likenedKing Sejong to Leonardo da Vinci. Even though Hangul is a system of phonetic symbols, it is categorized as new level of feature system, the first and the only in the world. On Oct. 1, 1997, UNESCO designated Hunminjeongeum as world archive property. Koreans commemorate the creation of Hangul each year on October 9. The Hangul Characters Before you begin learning the language, you should take some time to practice writing Hangul.

  • An Agenda for the Incheon Free Economic Zone: Developing Quad Ports and Quad Parks*
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE 85 Volume 1, Number 1, 2003, pp. 85-105 An Agenda for The Incheon Free Economic Zone: Developing Quad Ports and Quad Parks* ll-Soo Jun** The Korean government designated three districts in the /ncheon Metropolitan City as the first "Free Economic Zone " in August 2003. This paper discusses recent developments of and challenges to the Incheon FEZ, and proposes future tasks to accomplish Korea 's goal to be a business and logistics hub in Northeast Asia. The master plan of the Incheon FEZ encompasses all elements of "Quad Ports and Quad Parks " in major development projects in three districts. Developing "Quad Ports and Quad Parks " in the newly introduced Incheon FEZ is expected to take on critical significance in the next decades by completely transforming the Korean economy and society. However, the success of the Incheon FEZ relies on massive reforms, which requires major and fundamental changes in both mindsets and strategies. First, the Korean government must develop its full potential by maximizing the strengths of the Capital Region. Second, the Incheon International Airport must be a principal driver of economic growth by improving accessibility to regional and global markets. Third, the New Incheon port should be developed in time for the Incheon FEZ to maximize its potential. I. INTRODUCTION The business environment in Northeast Asia is expected to undergo greater change in a next decade than it did in a last century. In particular, as China has successfully transformed itself into a global center of production and sourcing, most global firms are searching for opportunities to trade with and/or invest in China.

  • Disruptive Technologies Transforming Urban Mobility? the Role of the Ecobee Urban Maglev System in the Seoul Traffic Vision 2030, South Korea
    ТРАНСПОРТНЫЕ СИСТЕМЫ И ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫЕ СТАТЬИ 115 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY ORIGINAL STUDIES DOI 10.17816/transsyst201843s1115-123 © M. Hekler1, J. Klühspies2 1 Institute CERM (Center for Education & Research on Mobility) 2 The International Maglev Board (Deggendorf, Germany) DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES TRANSFORMING URBAN MOBILITY? THE ROLE OF THE ECOBEE URBAN MAGLEV SYSTEM IN THE SEOUL TRAFFIC VISION 2030, SOUTH KOREA The dynamics and extent of disruptive technologies have been very well developed in Asian cities by the beginning of the 21st century, and are becoming particularly future- oriented. It also appears that urban mobility strategies in Asia are hardly slowed by resistance such as seen in the European context, where holding on to existing systems is the norm. The effects of accelerated mobility strategies in Asia are already apparent compared to what may be expected in Europe. So one could ask, which innovation processes will allow mobility to further develop? How will urban transport systems likely change in the future to minimize adverse impacts of current forms of mobility? In looking forward, any implementation of innovative mobility strategies heavily depends on spatial structures, transport networks and technologies as well as a political planning and decision-making. In Asia, concepts of transport and innovative transportation concepts (such as Rotem’s Ecobee Urban Maglev) are developing with considerable promise, which, if successful, can turn into trendsetters with considerable future relevance on a global scale. Aim: The aim is to identify relevant effects of new mobility strategies on cities and to analyze to what extent so called disruptive transport technologies are considered.
