In 2007, the U .S . government returned 31 out of 66 military sites designated to be returned to South Korea . On 23 of U.S. Military the sites returned, both soil and groundwater were found to be contaminated with various pollutants, such as benzene, Bases in South arsenic, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and heavy metals, such as lead, zinc, nickel, copper, and cad- mium . The U .S . government has contended that under the Korea and the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA),1 it is not responsible for cleaning up the bases . The SOFA, initially signed in 1966, had not contained any Responsibility to environmental provisions until the 2001 amendment, under which environmental provisions were for the first time affixed Clean Up to the sub-agreements of the SOFA . In the Memorandum of Special Understandings on Environmental Protection (the 2001 Memorandum),2 the United States documented its policy to remedy contamination that presents “known imminent and substantial endangerment (KISE)” to human health . This policy statement was identical to the general policy established during the 1990s by the U .S . Department by Young Geun Chae of Defense . Whether the requirement of KISE has been met or not has been left open . -

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.

A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility
sustainability Article A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility Doyeon Lee and Keunhwan Kim * Division of Data Analysis, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), 66, Hoegi-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02456, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Korea is moving to establish a national industry strategy to reduce regional inequalities within the country through the Green New Deal. Thus, it is important to closely integrate the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the Green New Deal with that of reducing deepening regional inequality from the Regionally Balanced New Deal. To accomplish these dual aims, this study provides a collaborative trans-regional R&D strategy and a precise framework with three key dimensions: regional, technological, and organizational. We demonstrate that future mobility is the most important project of the Green New Deal, comprising 1963 nationally funded projects worth USD 1285.4 million. We also illustrate the level of government investment in nationally funded research projects related to future mobility for 17 different regions and seven different technology clusters related to future mobility, and determine which research organizations played an important role in each cluster for all 17 regions between 2015 and 2020. Our results indicate that the capital region and Daejeon have high innovation capability in many future mobility-related research fields, whereas some regions have capabilities in specific research fields such as hydrogen infrastructure, indicating their relative competitiveness.

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.
