Individualized Learning We provide resources to meet the unique learning needs of each student. Inclusivity We celebrate and welcome the perspectives, values, and traditions of a diverse community of learners. Citizenship We promote global awareness and responsible engagement with the world at large. Partnerships We develop connections with our local Korean community to create opportunities for learning. Staff We attract and develop an exceptional administrative and teaching staff.

The school opened its doors on January 5, 2004 and operates as a sole proprietorship under the ownership of Ron Haddon. GIFS serves students from countries around the world from Kindergarten through the 12th grade. We provide a challenging and innovative educational program in a modern purpose-built facility. In the fall of 2015, GIFS became an IB (International Baccalaureate) World School offering the Diploma Programme to its 11th and 12th grade students. In addition, we are currently in the candidacy phase for implementation of both the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and the Middle Years Programme. This development holds great promise for ensuring that we will deliver a valuable and relevant international education to all of our students. *Gyeongnam International Foreign School is a candidate school for the PYP (Primary Years Programme) and MYP (Middle Years Programme). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students. * Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes visit http://www.ibo.org. At GIFS, we measure success in many ways. Our goal is to inspire and care for each learner by providing an educational environment that nurtures students’ social, intellectual, emotional, and physical well-being. We aspire to develop internationally minded young people who care for each other and learn skills to work together as critical thinkers and problem solvers. Colors and Mascot Students adopted the tiger for the school mascot. It followed naturally that the orange tiger’s stripes, along with a dark navy blue, would be chosen as our school colors. In Korea, the tiger is prominently portrayed in Korean folklore, legends, art and has even slipped into the early religious beliefs of this country. Koreans have given this animal a personality that includes humor, wit and sophistication. Therefore, we are known as the GIFS Tigers. 2 | Page GIFS Handbook 2020-2021 2020-2021 School Calendar First Quarter: August 18th – October 23rd, 2020 43 School days for Students August 2020 September 2020 July 2020 (10 School days) (19 School days) S M T W Th F S S M T W Th F S S M T W Th F S 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 23 24 26 27 28 29 30 31 / / 25 26 27 28 29 27 28 29 30 30 31 5-7 New Teacher Orientation 5 SKAC Coordinator Meeting @DIS 10-14 Teacher Preparation Week 7 House Games 1 15 National Liberation Day (Tiger Day Ⅱ Bell Schedule) 17 Back to School Orientation 7-11 Spirit Week (3-7 PM) 12 Fall Festival 18 School Year Begins 14-25 MAP Testing Whole School Assembly 15 Early-release Day (Tiger Day Ⅰ Bell Schedule) 19 SKAC ES Futsal @ISB 1st Qtr.

    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].

  • Smart Energy Transition: an Evaluation of Cities in South Korea
    informatics Article Smart Energy Transition: An Evaluation of Cities in South Korea Yirang Lim 1,*, Jurian Edelenbos 2 and Alberto Gianoli 3 1 Erasmus Graduate School of Social Science and Humanities (EGSH), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands 2 Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 3 Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: One positive impact of smart cities is reducing energy consumption and CO2 emission through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Energy transition pursues systematic changes to the low-carbon society, and it can benefit from technological and institutional advancement in smart cities. The integration of the energy transition to smart city development has not been thoroughly studied yet. The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence of smart cities’ contributions to energy transition. The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference between smart and non-smart cities in the performance of energy transition. The Smart Energy Transition Index is introduced. Index is useful to summarize the smart city component’s contribution to energy transition and to enable comparison among cities. The cities in South Korea are divided into three groups: (1) first-wave smart cities that focus on smart transportation and security services; (2) second-wave smart cities that provide comprehensive urban services; and (3) non-smart cities. The results showed that second-wave smart cities scored higher than first-wave and non-smart cities, and there is a statistically significant difference among city groups.

Engaging artist groups and introducing cultural programs can facilitate building a collaborative network between artists and residents. This paper adopts an experimental study method and defines the experimental and control groups as follows: the experimental group (Changwon city) has relatively high artist participation, and the control group (Sacheon, Gimhae, Miryang cities) have relatively low artist involvement. Multiple regression analysis was conducted utilizing 192 valid survey data in R studio software. The significant variables were compared between the experimental group (Model 1) and the control group (Model 2). As a result, the relative effects of “1. experience (or amount) of residents’ participation Citation: Baek, Y.; Jung, C.; Joo, H. in urban renewal programs”, “2. reflection of residents’ opinions”, and “3. neighborly trust” on Residents’ Perception of a “residents’ satisfaction with urban regeneration projects and expected outcomes” was shown to be Collaborative Approach with Artists greater in the experimental group.
