  • Choosing the Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing the Right Location
    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

The analysis results show that there is statistically significant evidence that supports the land price difference between the restricted area and the unrestricted area of Namyangju caused by the restriction for water quality protection. In specific, under the semi- log model, the loss rate that the restricted area experience is 15.0% of the land price of the unrestricted area. Under the double-log model, the rate is estimated to be 19.8%. Based on the results from the regression analyses of the models, the total compensations for the city of Namyangju are estimated to be in the range between 6.5 and 8.6 trillion won.

  • Fact Sheet African Swine Fever Outbreak (2019-2020)
    United Nations Command Camp Humphreys, Republic of Korea FACT SHEET AFRICAN SWINE FEVER OUTBREAK (2019-2020) May 5, 2020 Upon the detection of African Swine Fever in the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the fall of 2019, the ROK government initiated a containment and decontamination program requiring UNC support. At the government’s request, UNC suspended all non-operational tours to the Joint Security Area and limited access to other areas within the DMZ identified under the African Swine Fever (ASF) containment program. Additionally, UNC authorized and coordinated aerial decontamination operations in areas across the DMZ and expedited the installation of individual decontamination units to mitigate the spread of the disease. What is African Swine Fever? ASF is a virus that causes hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates in domestic pigs. It persistently infects its natural hosts, including warthogs, bush pigs, wild boars, and ticks, all of which are vectors for the disease. ASF is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa, but has spread across Europe and Asia, with major cases documented in Eastern European nations (e.g. Czech Republic), Russia, and China before reaching the Korean Peninsula. ASF does not cause disease in humans, but there are concerns about spreading the virus by personnel and vehicles transiting through infected areas. Background on 2019 Outbreak: Starting in mid-September 2019, the ROK government discovered ASF cases at a pig farm in Paju near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). There were also indications of ASF affecting livestock and wild boars in Yoncheon, Cheorwon, and the inside the DMZ. By October 31, 2019, there were 14 confirmed cases of ASF at local farms and 18 infected wild boars discovered.

We selected our study sites based on those used in previous studies and on information in data- bases. All flora were classified into 57 families and 211 species; we evaluated 253 plant communities. The representative, invasive exotic species were Sicyos angulatus, Lactuca scariola, Ambrosia trifida, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, and Eupatorium rugo- sum. Stands of A. trifida ranged in area from 214 to 16,882 m2 and were present in riparian zones, road and forest edges, slopes, and other open habitats at all sites, cov- ering an average of 37.87% of all study areas. In Gwangju, Ansan, and Anyang cities and in Yeoncheon-gun, A. trifida coverage was >50%; the total mean coverage was near-continuous along the Han and the South Han rivers, broken only by cliffs in some riparian zones, and anthropogenic constructions. A. trifida and S. angulatus require careful management because of extensive growth, shading, and twining. The biodi- versity of native species may be conserved by physical eradication of these plants.

  • 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].
