However, in South Korea, few studies on the northward range expansion of insects, particularly butterflies, have been conducted. Therefore, we selected eight species of southern butterflies and calculated the potential species richness values and their range expansion in different provinces of Korea under two climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modeling approach. Based on these model predictions, areas of suitable habitat, species richness, and species expansion of southern butterflies are expected to increase in provinces in the northern regions ( >36°N latitude), particularly in Chungcheongbuk, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Incheon, and Seoul.

  • 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.

Over the past three years, the Korea Communications Commission has made its utmost efforts to lay the foundations for future progress in broadcasting and telecom convergence, promote competition and create new markets for converged digital services. It is indeed with no little pride that I look back on our accomplishments from these past three years, and the lessons we have learnt from some of our oversights and shortcomings give me confidence in future success. IPTV today has a subscriber base of over million and grew into one of the leading segments of the pay DTV market barely three years after the start of commercial service. In the telecommunications industry, after a period of stagnation in the sheltered domestic market environment, the new paradigm of the smart phone is taking hold, even if a bit belatedly. Amid the rapidly broadening penetration of the smart phone, there is today an accelerating smart trend across all sectors of our society.

The analysis at regional level reveals that, while having experiencing continued urbanisation and rapid demographic shift of aging and depopulation, the Korean rural areas performs well in terms of productivity growth thanks to the relatively higher share of tradable sectors in rural economies. It also provides the overview of how the rural policy in Korea, which has evolved in response to the socio-economic changes and growing well-being concerns. With the balanced national development at the centre of the national agenda for decades, regional policy approaches have diversified from state-led large projects to flexible policy packages and functional approaches to enhance rural economies and well-being. Finally, the paper presents a number of international policy approaches that can be useful for Korea, including the case of France, Italy and Sweden.

  • A Case Study on Local Cultural Sensibility and Healing Tourism in Korea
    A Case Study on Local Cultural Sensibility and Healing Tourism in Korea Young Suk Kwon Cultural Heritage Preservation Research Institute, Pusan National University, Busan, Korea Keywords: Local cultural sensibility, healing tourism, cultural heritage. Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop tourism resources that can create promising economic benefits for the future society and provide basic data for creative regional development by looking at examples of successful development of the tourism industry that fits the Korean local cultural sensibility image. For this purpose, it explores the meaning of local cultural sensibility, classifies the local cultural resources into the material, human, and sociocultural resources, and focuses on countries that show global success stories about the value of cultural resources that each resource has. In addition, the study investigates the healing tourism policies each local government has implemented for the local cultural sensibility differentiated by region focusing on Busan, Gangwon-do, and Jeju-do of Korea. As a result, Busan has implemented a global marine culture tourism industry policy as an international city based on ocean sensibility. In Gangwon-do, the local cultural characteristics formed by the mountain cultural sensibility developed abundant natural resources in the high mountain area and food resources in the clean area, providing various local cultural resources to tourists. Finally, the healing tourism industry in the Jeju Island, the pearl of Korea, has promoted an attractive global tourism industry associating with various trails formed around Mount Halla along with the harmonization of the marine resources surrounding the entire island and the unique indigenous local culture of Jeju.

  • Busan Is the 2Nd Largest City in Korea
    HISTORIC DOWNTOWN CULTURE CLUSTER ‘TOTATOGA’ 1 1. Context Busan is the 2nd largest city in Korea. The old downtown of Busan, located in the Jung-gu District, has been playing a valuable role in facilitating foreign cultural exchanges since its port opened in 1407. In 1678, Choryang-waegwan, a residential area for Japanese living in Busan, was established 1 Artists deliver a passionate performance on ‘the 40-step stairway’. 1 to handle diplomacy and trade between Korea and Japan. Such historical resources are utilized in the TOTATOGA project. The old downtown used to be one of the liveliest areas with major administrative offices and commercial buildings. It was a hub for transportation, media and publication. During the Korean War, Busan served as a provisional capital of Korea and provided a shelter for fleeing refugees. People from all regions of Korea came there to escape the horrors of war. As a result, cultural diversity flourished. In particular, the Jung-gu District was a venue where dispersed families were reunited with their relatives. However, the district encountered a decrease in population and an increase in office vacancies after the Busan City Hall moved to the Yeonje-gu District in 1999. In 2009, Busan unveiled the Creative Village Project to promote urban regeneration and reinvigoration through culture and the arts. Busan organized a roundtable meeting with local artists, and decided that the old downtown area – where the TOTATOGA project is currently in place – was the most appropriate location for the project to be implemented. After the relocation of the City Hall to Yeonje-gu, buildings and houses in the old downtown suffered increased vacancy, with a negative impact on residents because of increasing crimes, accidents and environmental pollution.

  • OECD Territorial Reviews: Trans-Border Urban Co-Operation in the Pan Yellow Sea Region Faux-Titre 16X23.Fm Page 2 Tuesday, November 3, 2009 4:24 PM
    OECD Territorial Reviews OECD Territorial Reviews Trans-border Urban Co-operation in the Pan Yellow Sea Region OECD Territorial Reviews Reviews Territorial OECD The Pan Yellow Sea Region (PYSR) covers the coasts of northern China (Bohai Rim), western Trans-border Urban and southern Korea and south-western Japan (Kyushu). It has been one of the fastest growing economic zones in East Asia since China’s opening in the early 1990s, thanks to the Co-operation in the region’s extensive manufacturing and transportation networks. Development has been driven by cities such as Dalian, Qingdao and Tianjin in China, Busan and Incheon in Korea, and Pan Yellow Sea Region Fukuoka and Kitakyushu in Japan. However, the PYSR has not yet fully utilised its assets nor reached its potential for growth. Further economic integration has been hindered by excessive competition and inadequate co-operation within the region. The regional transportation system requires structural changes to be integrated, especially in the container transportation market. Deepening the Sea Region Urban Co-operation in the Pan Yellow Trans-border region’s social and cultural network remains a challenge. And environmental concerns are increasingly attracting attention. This report analyses these factors and assesses a wide range of policies to improve the PYSR’s competitiveness and integration. In particular, the report examines the PYSR’s trans-border governance system, which has emerged since the 1990s as a key regional policy agenda. The harmonisation of authorities within the region is a prerequisite to achieving economic success and addressing the PYSR’s diverse challenges. A comparative analysis of trans-border co-operation in OECD countries in Europe and North America is also included in an annex.

  • Changing Economic Landscape of Northeast Asia
    First Draft Not for Quotation Shifting Economic Balance and Inter-Regional Linkages among Major Economic Regions of Northeast Asia1 Won Bae Kim Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements Paper prepared for International Conference on “The Diversity and Dynamics of Globalizing City-Regions” organized by Fudan University May 31- June 1, 2008 Shanghai, China Abstract This paper examines the changing industrial landscape of northeast Asia by focusing on the eight economic regions (Kanto, Kinki and Chubu of Japan, Zhujang, Changjiang and Jing-Jin-Ji of China, and Korea’s Capital and Yeongnam region ). The three Japanese regions have been leading the formation of industrial geography of northeast and southeast Asia in the past three decades. Since the reform and opening of China in the 1980s, the industrial landscape has significantly changed from a unipolar structure to a multipolar structure. Three Chinese coastal regions advanced successfully in manufacturing production and they became a substantial force in shifting economic balance towards China away from Japan and Korea. Obviously, the rise of the three Chinese economic regions has expanded trade and investment relations among the eight economic regions of northeast Asia, which have been increasingly connected through logistics networks. Moreover, emerging relations among these eight core economic regions pose interesting questions of whether they are complementary or competitive and whether these relations suggest a formation of hierarchy. Key words _ Economic geography, core economic regions, inter-regional linkages, Northeast Asia 1 This paper is derived from the KRIHS Report, Development Prospects for and Collaborative Development of the Core Economic Regions in Northeast Asia (I): Development Prospects and Inter- Regional Linkages written by the author in Korean (2007).
