Korea forms a Northeast Asia with Japan and China. The north side of Korea touches Manchuria in China and the Maritime Province of Siberia in Russia across the Yalu River and the Tumen River. The east and south side face the Japanese mainland across the East Sea and the South Sea. The west side faces the Chinese Mainland across the Yellow Sea. The major administrative divisions in Korea are a special city (Seoul), a metropolitan autonomous city (Sejong), six metropolitan cities (Busan, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, and Ulsan), special self-governing province (Jeju), and eight provinces. When referring to the history of Korea, we call it “a long history of five thousand years.” This phrase came from the foundation of our history, which was the founding of the Gojoseon at 2333 BC, as Dangun Myth mentioned. Korean culture is a history and a wisdom of life that Koreans have lived for five thousand years. / Jeonju Jeonju, which has a history of over a thousand years, keeps the most traditional Korean atmosphere. Jeonju is the land of pansori art, which is in the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Besides, the city represents Korean traditional culture, such as Hanok Village (the village of Korean traditional houses), Korean dishes, and Hanji (Korean traditional paper). Jeonju is regarded as a city where people can experience the traditions of Korea and the lifestyle of Hanok Village and which keeps the beauty of Korea. Long history and culture have preserved Jeonju as a complete history museum. There are historical sites in various parts of Jeonju, such as Pungnam Gate, Gyeonggijeon, and Geaksa. Among them, Jeonju Hanok Village is the most famous, and Hanok Village has preserved the tradition of Hanok until now. The city was the capital of Baekje, the ancient Korean kingdom and was the origin of the Joseon dynasty, the former Korean kingdom built by Lee Seong-gye. A long history and culture in Jeonju have us feel a mood of old Korean hometown. Moreover, important cultural assets and various cultural facilities in Jeonju make Korean history and traditional culture appeal to people's eyes. 01 Program Guide 2 Timeline * The timeline in the schedule is subject to change.

    Mycobiology Research Article Phylogenetic Placement and Morphological Characterization of Sclerotium rolfsii (Teleomorph: Athelia rolfsii) Associated with Blight Disease of Ipomoea batatas in Korea Narayan Chandra Paul, Eom-Ji Hwang, Sang-Sik Nam, Hyeong-Un Lee, Joon-Seol Lee, Gyeong-Dan Yu, Yong-Gu Kang, Kyeong-Bo Lee, San Go and Jung-Wook Yang* Bioenergy Crop Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Science, Rural Development Administration, Muan 58545, Korea Abstract In this study, we aimed to characterize fungal samples from necrotic lesions on collar regions observed in different sweetpotato growing regions during 2015 and 2016 in Korea. Sclerotia appeared on the root zone soil surface, and white dense mycelia were observed. At the later stages of infection, mother roots quickly rotted, and large areas of the plants were destroyed. The disease occurrence was monitored at 45 and 84 farms, and 11.8% and 6.8% of the land areas were found to be infected in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Fungi were isolated from disease samples, and 36 strains were preserved. Based on the cultural and morphological characteristics of colonies, the isolates resembled the reference strain of Sclerotium rolfsii. Representative strains were identified as S. rolfsii (teleomorph: Athelia rolfsii) based on phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit genes along with morphological observations. To test the pathogenicity, sweetpotato storage roots were inoculated with different S. rolfsii strains. ‘Yulmi’ variety displayed the

  • Lunar New Year Macarthur, General Douglas
    894 Lunar New Year The lunar New Year, known as 561, W6ndan, W6ni! or Cbongch '0, is one of the most important holidays in Korea. During this holiday, there are traffic jams throughout the country as people rush to see their family and relatives. On the morning of Lunar New Year, people don traditional dress (hanbok). Various foods and wine are prepared, and then set in front of an ancestral tablet. The table is meticulously arranged according to Confucian tradition; however, many families also have their own traditions governing details of the arrangement. In general, fish is put on the east, meat on the west, fruit in front, rice and soup behind and liquor on the front table. A ceremony is then held during which the male family members pay respect to their deceased ancestors up to the fourth generation by making three full bows. Family members also visit the graves of their deceased ancestors. On this holiday, after cutting the grass from around the grave, they make a simple offering and then bow three times. In addition to paying respect to the deceased, each family member is expected to make two formal bows to his or her elders. According to custom, the elders then give the person a gift of money, particularly if the person is a child. Special foods are prepared for this holiday. In particular, rice-cake soup is typically served instead ofrice. For this reason, the question 'How many bowls of rice-cake soup have you eaten?' is sometimes used to ask one's age. In North Korea and China, mandu (dumpling) soup is often eaten instead.

    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].
