  • Long-Term Land Cover Changes in the Western Part of the Korean Demilitarized Zone

However, limited agricultural activity was allowed in the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) surrounding the DMZ. In this study, land cover and vegetation changes in the western DMZ and CCZ from 1919 to 2017 were investigated. Coniferous forests were nearly completely destroyed during the war and were then converted to deciduous forests by ecological succession. Plains in the DMZ and CCZ areas showed different patterns of land cover changes. In the DMZ, pre-war rice paddies were gradually transformed into grasslands. These grasslands have not returned to forest, and this may be explained by wildfires set for military purposes or hydrological fluctuations in floodplains. Grasslands near the floodplains in the DMZ are highly valued for conservation as a rare land type. Most grasslands in the CCZ were converted back to rice paddies, consistent with their previous use. After the 1990s, ginseng cultivation in the CCZ increased. In addition, the landscape changes in the Korean DMZ and CCZ were affected by political circumstances between South and North Citation: Kim, J.H.; Park, S.; Kim, Korea.

    THE HORTICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA f- -, " ^ if i m nus 'tA SIGN : L Z* 3 5Tà C3 33 EX. NO, »iQTHEEK MLV: Arnold P. Verhaegh August 1992 Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture Economics Nature Management and Fisheries Research Institute (LEI) Department for Trade & Industry Horticultural Division P.O. Box 20401 P.O. Box 29703 2500 EK The Hague 2502 LS The Hague The Netherlands The Netherlands \>o; FOREWORD The industrial activities are growing very strong in the Republic of Korea, resulting in a strong increase of the income. Agriculture is not following these developments. Korean government considers the modern horticultural production with emphasis on modern glasshouse production and especially flower growing, as a great potential to improve the welfare in the country. Korean government has far developed plans to import hundreds"^hectares of modern glasshouses with modern equipment. The Dutch greenhouse industry could possibly give support to these developments. On request of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries, Department for Trade and Industry, Ir. A.P. Verhaegh of the Agricultural Economics Research Institute (AERI) visited Korea from March 30, 1992 till April 12, 1992 to study the Korean horticultural sector. Findings are published in this report.

    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.
