Planning Documents FFYP First Five.-Year Plan SFYP Second Five-Year Plan ORB Overall Resources Budget KTS Korea Transportation Survey I. GENERAL FINDINGS AND RECOMIMENDATIONS A. Introduction 1. An integrated.transportation survey was carried.out in Korea from November 1965 to June 1966. It included the entire country and. all modes of transport. Its primary function was to recommend. a detailed transportation investment program for the Second. Five-Year Plan 1967-1971 (SFYP). According to the objectives established,for the progress of the economy during the SFYP by Korea's central planning agency, the Economic Planning Board(EPB), the survey was based.on the assumption of a GNP growth rate of 7%. The investment program recom- mended by the Korea Transportation Mission has been partly adopted by the Government. 2. In fact, the economy developed.in 1966 and 1967 much more rapidly than had besn Qxpected. A reassessment of the development of transport during the SFYP has become necessary. The primary function of this report is to review the traffic forecasts, the recommendations and the suggested.investment program made in the Korea Transportation Survey (KTS) report.!/ This report is based on the assumption of a GNP growth rate of 10.5% in 1967 and. 10% in the last three years of the SFYP. The assumption of a 10% GNP growth rate conforms to the present expectations of Korea's planners. An assessment of the feasi- bility of this rate is given in Volume I of this report. 3. One of the most striking features of land.transport in Korea is the disproportion between the roles played by the railroads and the highway transport system. At the end of 1966 the Korean National Rail- road network comprised more than 3,000 km of road.s, but there existed only 1,900 kcm of paved,public roads (including city streets). The total inventory of motor vehicles amounted. to only 50,000, i.e. one vehicle per 600 inhabitants. In the development phase which Korea has now entered., special attention should be given to road transport so as to achieve a balanced. utilization of both types of transportation con- sidered as mutually complementary. This was one of the main conclusions of the KTS. The subsequent acceleration of economic growth has further accentuated the need.for increased development of road transport. 4. Another feature is a generally insufficient capacity in the transportation sector resulting in the overcrowding of all types of inland transportation. The very high rate of economic growth in Korea in recent years has led.to bottlenecks in transportation. At least one example may'be found in the lack of transportation facilities for limestone transportation for use in agriculture. Complaints by the 1/ Although it has been attempted.to make this report self-sufficient, consultation of the KTS report may be useful. -2- business community about delays in shipping are general and appear founded in fact. The Mission was, however, not equipped to survey methodically the delay in the transportation of goods. 5. The fact that the share of the transportation sector in the national economy is still insufficient is also reflected by i) the low percentage of the value added of transportation in relation to GNP, and ii),the low percentage of the capital formation of transportation in relation to the total domestic fixed capital formation (Table 2). 6. Value added: The transportation share in GNP formation, although increasing steadily during the FFYP, was only 3.3% in 1966 This percentage generally ranges between 6% and 9% in other countries1- and although there is wide variation between countries due to different geographical dispersion of economic activity, a value under 5% almost always indicates underdevelopment in the transportation sector. The dispersion of activity factor not being particularly favorable in Korea, there is no doubt that the present relative contribution to GNP is below the optimum. Between 1961 and 1966 the value added of transportation, at 1965 constant prices, increased at an average rate of 15.3% per annum, which is comparable to the traffic increase rate.Z/ The situation, how- ever, was quite different for railroad and highway transportation. The value added of the former increased at an average rate of only 8.7%per annum, i.e. less than the related traffic increase which was about 11%. The value added of the latter increased by 22.1% per annum, which is more than the related traffic increase, taking into account the slow develop- ment of freight transportation. 7. This divergence is probably in part due to relative inflexibility of rates rather than to a change in the economic contribution of these transport modes. As far as railroads are concerned, an explanation can be partly found in the fact that, at constant prices, the fares decreased during the FFYP. But the low tariff level cannot account for the low percentage of value added of transportation, as the railroad tariffs allowed quite similar profits in each year of the considered period.2 The reason is to be found in the small traffic volume in relation to the requirements of the economic development of the country. 1/ The percentage tends to increase with per capita income. See H.B. Chenery, "Patterns of Industrial Growth", American Economic Review, September 1960. 2/ When adding the city passenger traffic to the intercity passenger traffic (Table 1), total passenger traffic figures are 9.94, and 21.12 billion pass-km in 1961 and 1966 respectively. Yearly increase rate is 16.3%,It is 13% for goods (Table 1), 1819 for harbor traffic. 3/ KNR lost money on freight, but the loss was made up for by profit on passengers. -3- 8. Capital formation: On an average, the share of capital forma- tion in the transportation sector! in relation to total capital forma- tion in the country was 16.64% during the FFYP, while a level between 20

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) repeatedly announced that it would make a notification on the Basic Plan of the Jeju 2nd airport project within October. If it is notified, the project becomes legally effective. It was the most critical task for people to stop such a MOLIT notification. Further, despite denial by MOLIT and the Jeju Island government, it is quite clear that the 2nd airport would be an air force base. Therefore, one of the urgent tasks at hand was for people to pressure the Ministry of Environment (MOE) to disagree with the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) made by the MOLIT, which is full of lies and omissions. The Jeju islanders also pressured the Island Council to create a special committee to gather public opinion on the project, as demanded by more than 80% of islanders. People concentrated their protest in front of the Island government & Council buildings in Jeju City, as well as in front of the central government complex in Sejong City & the Presidential House in Seoul.

  • Text and Image Studies: Theory of East Asian Cultural Diffusion
    43 Text and Image Studies: Theory of East Asian Cultural Diffusion I Lo-fen* Abstract The word ‘Text’ in Text and Image Studies encompasses sound/ language text, textual body, word/ literary text and image text. ‘Image’ represents not only pictorial illustrations, but also symbols, icons, logos/ trademarks and other forms of visual rhetoric, as well as videos, lines and printed material. Text and Image Studies offers valuable approaches in the investigation and analysis of the complexity of the interplay, interrelations and disjunctions between text and image in various forms of visual media. Chief subjects of interest include creativity and innovation, distribution and dissemination, sociopolitical implications, impact on consumerism, psychological effects on human cognition, etc. The theoretical application of Text and Image Studies in the East Asian cultural exchange discussed in this article is the fruit of almost two decades of research. The article uses a seven-pronged approach – canonization, politi- cization, conceptualization, abstraction, localization, standardization, modular- ization– in the study of East Asian cultural exchange in variety of regions, time periods, and genre in an attempt to explore new research ideologies and theories. 1. Prologue The word ‘Text’ in Text and Image Studies encompasses sound/ language text, textual body, word/ literary text and image text. ‘Text’ is presented in limitless forms and pique interpretive questions from readers and observers. Text references could be words, images, or audio and videos, as well as other media of communication. ‘Image’ represents not only pictorial illustrations, but also symbols, icons, * I Lo fen 衣若芬 is an Associate Professor in the School of Humanities at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore 44 Journal of Cultural Interaction in East Asia Vol.

  • The Cultural Production and Consumption of the Fit Body in South Korea: Focus on Established – Outsider Figuration of the Body in the Fitness Field
    THE CULTURAL PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF THE FIT BODY IN SOUTH KOREA: FOCUS ON ESTABLISHED – OUTSIDER FIGURATION OF THE BODY IN THE FITNESS FIELD Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Hye Won Choo Department of Media and Communication University of Leicester 2015 The Cultural Production and Consumption of the Fit Body in South Korea: Focus on Established - Outsider Figuration of the Body in the Fitness Field ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways in which the fit body has acted as an established form of capital in Korea. In addressing this question, this research explores the theoretical and methodological links between Bourdieu‘s and Elias‘s perspectives. In particular, using the fitness field as the context, this study examines specific types of valued capital and assesses the ways in which figurations between actors are produced and reproduced in ways that reinforce and sometimes disrupt ‗established-outsider‘ (E- O) figurations in other fields (such as the academic field). In working toward its findings, this work makes use of multiple methods, including historical media analysis, media production study, interviews, and comparison of Gangnam and Gangbuk, to name but a few. This diverse array of approaches allows for a more robust and nuanced look at the E-O figuration of the body (Elias & Scotson, 1994) that grounded the production and reproduction of body capital and habitus in the fitness field. The findings also reveal that fit bodies are pivotal to the formation of symbolic power in Korean socio-historical contexts. E-O figuration of fitness media production teams influences media texts.

Six of the 13 views Jeong (1676-1759) produced form the starting point of “Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. About 50 miles within today’s North Korean southern border, the mountain has been in the news as North and South Korea negotiate whether and where to host joint celebrations during the Olympics.

  • Travel and Painting As Antiquarianism in Joseon Korea Karwin Cheung S1487043 Universiteit Leiden 2016/2017
    Journeys to the past: travel and painting as antiquarianism in Joseon Korea Karwin Cheung s1487043 Universiteit Leiden 2016/2017 abstract This study analyzes the transnational interaction of Korean art during the early modern period. By examining practices of collecting and travel I aim to explore how cultural and visual patterns from Chinese antiquity are re-contextualized in Joseon Korean art. In this process not only a specific Korean understanding of Chinese antiquity was developed, but Chinese antiquity was in turn also projected upon the Korean landscape. I further argue that artistic developments during the early modern period in Korea, such as true-view painting, should be understood from this transnational perspective, rather than from sino- centric or nativist views.

An exception to this is the bibliography, where names are romanized following the given romanization in the original publication. In some cases this means that authors are found under two different names. Chinese words and names have been romanized in Pinyin.

An ofce area of desktop computers and bookshelves occupies the window-side of the space. Kang’s thin-framed painted sculptures, towers of paintings, wool-wrapped forms and woven mats are stacked, hanging and arrayed around the rest of the space, like the backstage of a theater. Over cofee, Kang began our conversation by proposing that she and I see the practice of painting in a diferent manner, based on our cultural heritages. She was trained in Korean painting at Ewha Womans University, where she still teaches, and explained that the way she learned to think about painting was that everything had to be channeled or “poured out” onto the confines of paper in the form of highly controlled brushstrokes.
