Siderostictae were revealed by morphological and molecular studies. The morphological characteristics of Korean Carex siderosticta Hance, which is a type species of sect. Siderostictae, was first reviewed in comparison with previous records in order to identify the difference. Then the distribution map of this species was formulated through previous floral literatures and voucher specimens. Although the leaf shape which is represented by length/width ratio showed a great variation depending on habitat condition, the rhizome creeping patterns, the presence of hair on the surface leaf margin and perigynium were shown to be good diagnostic characters to define delimitation of species level. The results from molecular study supported C. ciliatomarginata Nakai should be ranked independently on species level. Key words - Sect.

  • Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE 5 Volume 2, Number I, 2004, pp. 5-45 Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks Marc L. Miller' and Sung-Gwi Kim" ABSTRACT In concert with an ambitious national agenda that emphasizes free trade and globalization, lncheon Metropolitan City is taking the first steps toward reinventing itself to become a twenty-first century "Pentaport" with integrated Seaport, Airport, Technoport, Business Port, and Leisure Port components. The lncheon Pentaport transformation-projected to be complete by 2020-will entail significant industrial, sociological, and institutional modification. Leisure Port objectives can be achieved through responsible planning attuned to the ideal of sustainable development and by empirical studies of lncheon tourism and leisure dynamics. International benchmarks of leisure port success are found in Sydney, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; and San Diego, USA, among seven other cosmopolitan cities. Growth estimations for coastal ferry passengers; beach use; recreational vessels and yachts in the lncheon region are encouraging. lncheon Leisure Port development of ten amenity destinations will require equal and multidisciplinary attention to questions of tourism design and tourism impacts. Important issues will concern environmental quality, clean shipping practices, the proper balance of modem and traditional amenities and attractions, trade-offs of cultural homogeneity and cultural diversity, and creative destination branding and marketing, among others. Keywords: lncheon, Leisure, Leisure Port, Pentaport, Tourism, Sustainable Development.

    Overview CHONGQING 2035 / 33 Conclusion Chongqing’s large administrative territory and population, thriving economy, and increasing integration into the global economy are huge assets in its bid to become a global city. Chongqing can manage looming risks and shape its growth trajectory to mirror that of other successful global cities by (1) shaping its spatial structure in a compact form; (2) increasing its connectivity and integration in the ASEAN region; (3) becoming a center of innovation with a highly skilled workforce; (4) managing the demographic transition and urban-rural integration, and creating a free-flowing large labor market; and (5) following a low- carbon growth pathway. The five major transformations highlighted in this report define short-, medium-, and long-term goals and provide an overall strategic direction to achieve Chongqing’s Vision 2035. A successful outcome requires strong leadership and commitment, careful sequencing, smooth and determined implementation, and close coordination among all relevant agencies. With the right strategy and careful implementation, Chongqing, already considered a fast-growing emerging global gateway, can achieve its goal of becoming one of the world’s most competitive cities by 2035. 34 / Spatial and Economic Transformation for a Global City Chongqing Hongyadong.

  • Korea Real Estate Market Report
    Vol. 5 Korea Real Estate Market Report 2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook Real Estate Research Institute of KAB KAB Real Estate Market Report Greetings This is the fifth volume of the Korea Appraisal Board (KAB) Real Estate Market Report (2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook). With the enactment of the Korea Appraisal Board Act in September 2016, KAB has undergone a transformation from an organization specializing in real estate appraisal to an organization dedicated to real estate market surveys and management as well as making announcements of official land value and related statistics. Maintaining order and stability in the Korean real estate market is an especially important task undertaken by KAB. The KAB Real Estate Market Report published semiannually in the first and second halves of the year provides reliable information on the real estate market including the future outlook, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the current trends, with the aim of ensuring order in the real estate market. The real estate market in Korea in 2016 became more stable compared to the previous year due to the influence of the economic slowdown and the new loan restriction policy concerning tighter loan review regulations. Notable trends in the year included the overheated pre-construction parceling-out market for the Gangnam reconstruction projects and the rise in housing prices in the Seoul Capital Area; however, following the announcement of the real estate policy on November 3, 2016 speculative investments declined, and the market became more stabilized centering on actual demand. Also, in some of the regions outside the Seoul Capital Area, real estate prices began to be on a downturn as a result of an industrial recession and increased housing supply.

By examining texts, critiques, production practices, and writers, I interrogate how the anti-Communism propaganda mandate was negotiated in radio drama, influenced not only by the South Korean government and the field of radio production but also by the U.S. cultural Cold War programs and Americanization. As the result of historical contingencies within radio- drama production, the propaganda mission of national broadcasting morphed into “vulgar” melodrama, focused on romantic triangles and urban lifestyles.

  • Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 52 ( 2015 ) 178 – 185 The 6th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT 2015) Public Transportation Service Evaluations Utilizing Seoul Transportation Card Data a a a a a Ji-Young Song , Jin Ki Eom* , Kwang Sub Lee , Jae Hong Min , Keun Yul Yang a Korea Railroad Research Institute, Ui-Wang, Kyung-Ki, 437-050, South Korea Abstract This study evaluated transit service performance in Seoul using data collected from the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system in Seoul. The distance-based fare system in Seoul allows a maximum of four transfers with no additional charges to encourage transit ridership. In order to analyze the transit transfers, this study developed quantitative indicators for public transportation evaluations differentiated from those of previous studies by the fact that it utilizes data mining techniques which incorporate massive amounts of data (over 10 million transits per day) derived from the smart card system. This study not only carried out an evaluation to improve public transportation quality but provided comparative analysis of the mobility handicapped and an evaluation of public transportation users’ regional equity. This evaluative analysis of Level of Services (LOS) for various items is expected to be adopted for analyzing LOS status and generating improvement priorities and to be utilized as an objective database for public transportation policy decisions. ©© 20120155 TheElsevier Authors.
