  • 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. Citation: Choi, H.I. Development of Keywords: flood damage; rainfall; landscape; simple regression; damage risk map Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea.

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

Diverse geological features such as Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, numerous limestone caves and karst landforms, and a meandering fluvial system (Donggang River) are distributed in the Gangwon Paleozoic Geopark. One of the main geological features is the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks which are composed of the Lower Paleozoic (Cambrian to Ordovician) Joseon Supergroup and the Carboniferous to Triassic Pyeongan Supergroup with coal beds. There are numerous type localities with well-preserved sedimentary structures, and invertebrate and plant fossils throughout the sequence. They also provided significant information on tectonic evolution of the East Asian region. Within the park, four different groups of sedimentary strata have been described because they show different lithofacies and sedimentary settings despite the same age within the geopark. This area has been famous for various types of mining in the past and its contribution to the Korean economy has been significant. The other features in the geopark are numerous limestone caves, various karst landforms and entrenched type of a meandering river system (Donggang River, about 57km long). Magnificent scenic views as well as numerous significant plants and animals, and cultural heritages add geopark values in this region.

  • Measuring the Economic Impact of Rural Tourism Membership on Local Economy: a Korean Case Study
    sustainability Article Measuring the Economic Impact of Rural Tourism Membership on Local Economy: A Korean Case Study Hio-Jung Shin 1, Hyun No Kim 2,* and Jae-Young Son 3 1 Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Korea; [email protected] 2 Environmental Policy Research Group, Korea Environment Institute, Sejong 30147, Korea 3 Department of Tourism, Kangwon National University, Samcheok 25913, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-44-415-7985 Academic Editors: Anat Tchetchik and Marc A. Rosen Received: 17 January 2017; Accepted: 13 April 2017; Published: 18 April 2017 Abstract: The implementation of rural tourism membership can aid in boosting economic growth in rural areas. This study examines households’ preferences for rural tourism experience in association with sales of local agricultural products. Using a choice experiment method developed by experimental designs, this paper examines households’ preferences to trade off purchasing costs of local agricultural products against various benefits provided by the rural tourism membership. The methods utilized in this paper represent an effective approach to evaluate the value of local tourism resources and the influence of these resources on the local economy. In empirical estimation we applied econometric approaches that allow for different preferences by incorporating income and residence effects into the models. Findings reveal that respondents place a premium on tourism attributes such as invitation seats and outdoor adventure tickets when choosing a tourism membership. We also find that the economic impacts associated with inducing higher-level tourism membership are substantial. This paper illustrates the potential for the development of a strategy associated with rural tourism management to enhance the local economy.
