Add value to small-scale farming by developing organic agroforestry models replacing single cash crops . Promoting a democratic local food system that respects the history, tradition, and culture of the Korean people . Improve food sovereignty in South Korea PLANTATION OF FRUIT TREES . The project is led by small-scale organic fruit farmers in Chungju. Majority of the farms are family run, and characterized by small-scale land area (less than 2 has). The farmers are willing to plant a great diversity of fruit trees in combination with their cash crops: apricot, blueberries, apples, pears, grapes… to diversify their production and incomes. It also provides food security for rural communities. Fruit production is an integral part of Korean’s cultural landscape. Cooperative members will grow and preserve seeds and exchange varieties amongst themselves. In this way, farmers preserve long held knowledge about the characteristics of individual seed varieties, preserve seed diversity, and thus the distinct knowledge and food culture of Korea. Go local may be a response to the increased liberalization of agricultural trade. By promoting local and sustainable food, the project supports local farmers to develop a new market for healthy sustainable local food that can counter the free trade logic and at the same time preserve the Korean agricultural heritage. 6 PLANTATION PROGRAM IN CHUNGJU Plantation of 5,000 trees in 2012 . Plantation of a great variety of fruit trees : mainly apricot and blueberry, but also apple, pear, cherry, grape… This diversity maximizes the use of the land and optimize its benefits. Organic production: chemical fertilizers and insecticide are not used. Community involvement: the tree plantations are fully led and monitored by the farmers themselves. Monitoring: training to improve seedlings and planting techniques, exchanges on the different techniques used by the coop agronomists and traditional farmers. Support from Pur Projet and local forestry experts to secure plantations. 7 REVITALIZATION OF SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ECOSYSTEMS Complementary Pure Projects for People and the Planet Promoting and preserving local COMMUNITY medicinal, floral and aromatic BOTANICAL GARDEN traditions Developing additional sources of income for participants and COMMUNITY TREE ensure the production of quality NURSERY seedling planted by the people INSETTING themselves. «Insetting » initiatives are developed by partners, to enrich the projects by integrating their vision and know-how in complementary Developing forest preservation and valuable fields for the projects (knowledge activities in the surroundings in on plants, links between women, socio- CONSERVATION economic development, integration, the longer run : to act ahead of biodiversity, etc.).

  • Flood Mitigation Analysis for Abnormal Flood
    Flood Recovery, Innovation and Response II 107 Flood mitigation analysis for abnormal flood C. Choi, J. Ahn & J. Yi Department of Civil & Transportation Engineering, Ajou University, South Korea Abstract Rainfall characteristics are changing due to climate change in Korea, as they are across the rest of the world. While the average annual rainfall is increasing, the number of rainy days is decreasing and that results in the increase of rainfall intensity. Because of the increase in rainfall intensity, the frequency of abnormal rainfall and floods is also increasing and can lead to extensive damage. It is necessary to establish reasonable alternatives to mitigate flood damage. In order to establish suitable disaster mitigation alternatives to overcome abnormal flooding, the following methods are used. Firstly, a test basin which has a big city in downstream vulnerable to flood damage is selected. Secondly, flood vulnerability is evaluated by a variety of scenarios and flood mitigation alternatives. Finally, the goal is to find out the best flood mitigation alternative that can protect the city located downstream. Since the Namhangang River basin selected for the test basin has only one reservoir, Chungju Reservoir, the flood control capability is relatively small considering the basin area. Therefore, in the case of flood occurrence which exceeds the flood control capacity of Chungju Reservoir, Yeoju which is located downstream of Chungju Reservoir, may have flood damage. In July of 2006, the flood was close to the design flood that actually occurred in Yeoju. The July of 2006 flood event is first analyzed, and the rainfall which is 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 times greater than the actual rainfall is generated and analyzed for the safety of Yeoju.

  • The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea.Pdf
    The Effect of City-County Consolidation in South Korea by Byoung-Ik Min A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2013 Keywords: city-county consolidation, technical efficiency, financial status, disparity, local government size, boundary Copyright 2013 by Byoung-Ik Min Approved by Cynthia J. Bowling, Chair, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Steven Brown, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Hua Xu, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Administration Keren Deal, Professor of Accounting Abstract In 1994, the South Korean central government initiated a massive merger of city and county governments, and during the next two years, a total of 40 consolidated cities were established. Following the city-county consolidations, there has been significant debate regarding whether the local mergers achieved the desired effect. This study seeks to determine whether the technical efficiency of the consolidated governments improved following the mergers, whether their financial status improved, and whether the disparities between the urban and rural areas were reduced. The literature review in this study identifies the most significant literature and the most prominent theories pertaining governmental size and boundary. It also highlights local governmental consolidation studies previously conducted in both the U.S. and South Korea. Finally, it describes the South Korean local governmental structure, and discusses the process of the city-county consolidations that took place in South Korea from 1994 through 1995. To facilitate the research and analysis related to the city-county consolidations in South Korea, this study has identified and tests the following three hypotheses: •H1: The technical efficiency of consolidated governments improved following the city-county consolidations.
