THE ROLE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IN GOVERNMENT DECISION MAKING IN NEWLY DEMOCRATISED KOREA, FOCUSING ON THE ANTI-DAM PROTEST Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD by Myung Jun, Kim The University of Sheffield Department of Town and Regional Planning 2012 1 ABSTRACT This research started from a concern about the changing role of the environmental movement in government decision making in newly democratised Korea. Many empirical studies found that environmental movements in other transitional democracies reached their peak during the liberalisation of authoritarian regimes, and considerably declined after democratisation. Unlike these cases, the Korean environmental movement grew greatly after democratisation, but faced its decline later within civil society-friendly administrations (1998-2007). This trajectory raises questions about what actually happened between the government and the environmental movement in Korea. To explain this phenomenon, this research selected the political opportunity structure (POS) approach, which stresses the importance of political environment around social movements. Based on the two dimensions of the POS – “access to the political system” and “configuration of actors”, this research has explored, (i) what forms of access chances were created by the Korean government in decision making; (ii) what change occurred in the relationships between the environmental movement, government, and other social actors; and (iii) how these factors influenced the environmental movement’s ability to influence outcomes. The research is based on case studies of two anti-dam movements, the Dong River dam movement and the Hantan River dam movement, and interviews were carried out with key stakeholders, including environmental activists, public officials, experts, and newspaper reporters. The research findings reveal that the relationship between democratisation and social movements is not a simple process. The development of the environmental movement should be understood within domestic political contexts. Many citizens have still been distrustful of political institutions, and environmental groups staged active protests to take advantage of the increased access chances and a more balanced power relation between the state and civil society. However, the change in the configuration of actors surrounding decision making gradually led to the decline of the movement. This empirical study suggests that firstly, the Korean government adapted their proposals to lower perceived negative impacts and to increase potential financial benefits, and used participatory procedures to arrive at final 2 decisions. Secondly, the persistent protests of the environmental movement resulted in a loss of external support and a growth in public pressure to moderate their demands. In conclusion, the research findings indicate that while the two dimensions of the POS are meaningful to the outcome of social movements, the “configuration of actors” is much more important in the rise and fall of the social movement. The position of related stakeholders surrounding the conflicting parties largely shaped the outcomes. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor Professor Gordon Dabinett for his support and guidance throughout the PhD process. His commitment to my PhD has been exceptional and despite his busy schedule he always found both time and enthusiasm for my research. His valid suggestions, insightful comments, and constant encouragement have been a great driver for me in completing this thesis. I also thank my second supervisor, Dr. Ed Ferrari, for his critical comments on the drafts. I am grateful to all the staff within the Department of Town and Regional Planning at the University of Sheffield who helped me to achieve what I set out to do. In particular, I want to thank Professor Heather Campbell and Dr. Aidan for their critical comments in the Rip sessions. I also would like to thank my fellow research students who have supported this thesis in various ways. It was a great pleasure to work with them. I am also grateful to the financial support from the Korean government and many other supports from the MLTM (Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime affairs) which I have worked for. I am also highly indebted to all the interviewees who provided me with their valuable time and expertise. Without all these support, it would have been impossible to conduct this research. Finally, my special thanks go to my family for their continual support and encouragement. I would like to thank my wife Ji Hyun, my son Jun Hwi, and my daughter Min Jae for their patience and support over the last three years. Without them I probably would have not completed this research. I am also grateful to my parents and parents in law in Korea for their support and encouragement, and for always hoping that I would finish the PhD one day. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................... 9 LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................... 10 ABBREVIATIONS .................................................................................................... 12 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................. 14 1.1 Research aim and background .............................................................................. 14 1.2 Research questions ................................................................................................ 17 1.3 Structure of the thesis............................................................................................ 24 CHAPTER 2 DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT ................................ 26 2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................... 26 2.2 Brief overview of democracy ................................................................................ 27 2.2.1 Types of democracy .................................................................................... 27 2.2.2 Democratisation .......................................................................................... 33 2.3 Brief overview of social movements ................................................................... 34 2.3.1 Definition of social movments .................................................................... 35 2.3.2 Typical social movement: environmental movement ................................. 37 2.4 Social movement in democratised countries......................................................... 40 2.4.1 Relationship between social movement and democracy ............................ 40 2.4.2 Various explanations for social movements in democratic countries......... 42 2.4.3 Importance of political context ................................................................... 43 2.5 Summary ............................................................................................................... 46 CHAPTER 3 DEMOCRATISATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IN KOREA ...................................................................................... 48 3.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................... 48 3.2 Democratisation history in Korea ......................................................................... 49 3.2.1 Prior to democratisation (the 1960s - 1987) ............................................... 49 3.2.2 Since democratisation (I) (1988 - 1997) .................................................... 52 3.2.3 Since democratisation (II) (1998 - 2007) ................................................... 55 3.3 Environmental movement in Korea ...................................................................... 59 5 3.3.1 Prior to democratisation (the 1960s - 1987) ............................................... 59 3.3.2 Since democratisation (I) (1988 - 1997) ..................................................... 62 3.3.3 Since democratisation (II) (1998 - 2007) .................................................... 66 3.4 Movements against national construction projects during 1998-2007 ................. 68 3.4.1 Environmental group’s cricitism against national construction projects ... 68 3.4.2 Rise and decline in movements against national construction projects ...... 70 3.5 Characteristics of the Korean environmental movemet ........................................ 73 3.6 Summary ............................................................................................................... 77 CHAPTER 4 POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURE APPROACH ........ 78 4.1 Introduction .......................................................................................................... 78 4.2 Overview of political opportunity structure .........................................................

This study developed a model for assessing habitat suitability as a proxy for the ecological value of reservoirs. Three main factors comprising nine assessment variables were selected and classified as having a habitat suitability (HS) between 0 and 1: (1) geomorphic factors of altitude, slope steepness, and slope aspect; (2) vegetation factors of forest physiognomy, vegetation type, and tree age; and (3) ecological factors of land cover, ecological quality index, and environmental conservation value assessment. The spatial distribution of the nine HS indices was determined using geographic information systems and combined into one HS index value to determine ecologically healthy regions. The assessment model was applied to areas surrounding the Hantan River Dam, South Korea. To verify the model, wildlife location data from the national ecosystem survey of the Ministry of Environment were used.

  • Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea
    land Article Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea Hyun Il Choi Department of Civil Engineering, Yeungnam University, 280 Daehak-Ro, Gyeongsan 38541, Gyeongbuk, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-810-2413 Abstract: Torrential rainfall events associated with rainstorms and typhoons are the main causes of flood-related economic losses in Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea. The frequency and severity of flood damage have been increasing due to frequent extreme rainfall events as a result of climate change. Rainfall is a major cause of flood damage for the study site, given a strong relationship between the probability of flood damage over the last two decades and the maximum rainfall for 6 and 24 h durations in the 18 administrative districts of Gangwon Province. This study aims to develop flood damage regression models by rainfall identification for use in a simplified and efficient assessment of flood damage risk in ungauged or poorly gauged regions. Optimal simple regression models were selected from four types of non-linear functions with one of five composite predictors averaged for the two rainfall datasets. To identify appropriate predictor rainfall variables indicative of regional landscape features, the relationships between the composite rainfall predictor and landscape characteristics such as district size, topographic features, and urbanization rate were interpreted. The proposed optimal regression models may provide governments and policymakers with an efficient flood damage risk map simply using a regression outcome to design or forecast rainfall data.

  • A Comparative Study of Coalition Network Within and Between
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COALITION NETWORK WITHIN AND BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH KOREA: CASE STUDIES OF DAM CONSTRUCTION AND REMOVAL Workshop: Portability of “Western” Policy Theories Author: Kyudong Park - [email protected] Abstract While many Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) applications in a recent pluralistic settings found the ACF useful in illuminating the policy process in diverse contexts, their results also raise two questions which need answering. First, from the ACF applications to recent pluralistic settings can we conclude that policy process in recent pluralistic countries is mainly centralized and weakly localized? Second, are there better practices for building the global growth of knowledge of policy process in different institutional settings through the lens of ACF? This paper compares politics and policy decisions within and between a recent pluralistic (South Korea) and pluralist (the United States) countries in the context of dam construction and removal. Applying the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), I not only test traditional hypotheses of coalition, but also develop new hypotheses to compare structural characteristics of policy sub-systems. The hypotheses are tested by examining (1) whether coalitions were stable; (2) how coalitions changed their belief; and (3) whether policy actor’s importance in coalition network varies by institutional role. Using coded data of news articles within selected states/provinces across the two countries, I find (1) coalition stability across sub-systems; (2) divergence in patterns of belief change between policy change and status quo cases; (3) partial 1 support for . The findings provide both theoretical and methodological insights into how and why politics and policy outcome are similar and different by institutional context.
