The result of simulation in Bundang district …………………………………. 30 Chapter 1 Introduction The rapid accumulation of people in a mega-city has caused major problems in the fields of housing, basic service, and transportation (Hall, 1984). Moreover, from the environmental point of view, increased impervious surfaces from the urbanization have threatened natural environments by reducing the amount of forest lands, wet lands, and other forms of open space that absorb and clean stormwater in the natural system (Brabec 2002). As one of the mega-cities in Asia, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has faced these problems whenever new development plans within the city boundary were proposed. Seoul has experienced unprecedented changes in the population as well as in urban structure. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, by 1963 the population grew to about 3 million and the jurisdictional territory accordingly expanded to the current area of about 600 km2 , 2.3 times larger than before. The population of the city has more grown with the south development programs from the late 1960s to 1970s, which showed high-rise apartment buildings along the Han River. As a result, the south districts of Han River expanded rapidly, becoming a similar size of population as the north districts. In present, the population in Seoul is over 10 million inhabitants which occupy 25% of the total population of South Korea. However, the intense concentration of population in Seoul caused various urban problems such as skyrocketing housing price particularly in south districts, lack of 1 transportation systems, and environmental disruption. The National Comprehensive Physical Plan in July, 1970 established 1,567 km 2 of urban growth boundary along the circumference of Seoul called Greenbelt, mostly composed of forest and woodland (Yokohari, 2000). The primary purposes were to prevent sprawl, protect the surrounding natural environment, reduce air and water pollution, and provide for recreational areas. The Seoul Greenbelt has been evaluated as a successful plan in achieving the goals due to strong legal control. Furthermore, in an effort to disperse dense population of Seoul, Korean government has established several new satellite cities including Seongnam, Bucheon, Gwacheon, Bundang and Ilsan areas. Despite of these efforts, Seoul has been experiencing rapid population concentration, and the demand for housing in Seoul still exceeds the supply. The government is planning to partially lift the Green Belt and build a new town called Songpa new town, accommodating 50,000 housing units with over 100,000 in about 7 km 2 in a south district of Seoul. The primary purpose is to increase insufficient supply for housing and stabilize high priced housing value of south district of Han River. As for whether the new town should be developed or not, the plan for the new town has been meeting with strong opposition from the Seoul government and several citizen groups representing economics and environment and so on. The construction of Songpa new town has been under debate on the appropriateness for the location of a new town, traffic congestion, environmental problems, and unbalanced development between north and south districts of Han River that would be generated by the development of the new town. Seoul Council and citizen groups have been asserting that development of the new town would 2 bring excessive speculation in real estate rather than stability of housing value as well as would cause destroyed natural landscape from forest destruction. Moreover, it is expected that the new development will aggravate current severe air pollution from traffic congestion. The primary reason is that the developments surrounding the proposed new town have already been progressed and almost completed. In addition, the new town would abet more automobile trips within Seoul because it was designed to accommodate residents who are expected to commute to work places in Seoul. In this regard, the environmental civic group supports retention of urban growth boundary and considers the current proposed new town development to be premature. For the current proposed new town plan, this paper focuses on environmental effects of the development. In particular, the main interests of the study are open space, including forest and agricultural land, and run-off by increased impervious surface on the development area. Based on the background of Seoul and the environmental interests in the development of the new town, this research presents answers to two primary questions. The first question is ‘How the development would change the pre-development open space into built-up land?’ The second question is ‘How the development would affect the change of run-off?’ It is important to deal with the questions because open spaces within Seoul have been getting less and less since the rapid developments so that there are insufficient green spaces that Seoul citizens can use for the purpose of recreation. What is more, it is worth analyzing the changes of run-off coefficient in that the increased impervious surface from the development 3 increases possibility of flooding in the areas adjacent to Han River and exacerbates water quality by reduction of open space. The importance of the study is in ensuring that decision-makers consider environmental impacts before deciding whether to proceed with new projects. To do so, the study includes the process of identifying, predicting, and evaluating environmental effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken, focusing on the environmental problems Seoul has been experiencing. 4 Chapter 2 Literature Review In order to find the best model to apply to Songpa new town case, this chapter examines and evaluates models to forecast future urban growth and assess the environmental effect of development. In terms of how the development of Songpa new town would have an influence on the environment, it is important to start with prediction of urban growth because a specific plan of the new town is not released yet and this study addresses two alternative

It was up sevenfold.He owns two apartments including his current residence. They were purchased using severance pay, with rent from the second unit to be used for living expenses. Last year, the bill was 100,000 won ($90) for comprehensive real estate tax. This year, it was 700,000 won. Next year, it will be about 1.5 million won. “Some people might say the amount is so little for me as a person who owns two apartments. However, I’m really confused now receiving the bill when I’m not earning any money at the moment,” Park said. “I want to sell one, but then I'll be obliged to pay a large amount of capital gains tax, and I would lose a way to make a living.” On Nov. 20, the National Tax Service started sending this year’s comprehensive real estate tax bills to homeowners. The homeowners can check the bills right away online, or they will receive the bills in the mail around Nov. 26. The comprehensive real estate tax is a national tax targeting expensive residential real estate and some kinds of land. It is separate from property taxes levied by local governments. Under the government’s comprehensive real estate tax regulation, the tax is levied yearly on June 1 on apartment whose government-assessed value exceeds 900 million won.

The project evaluates the proposed development plan from an environmental perspective, which can be easily ignored during a planning process. With the logistic regression model considering accessibility and physical constraint factors, future development in the proposed new town and infill development in two existing alternative areas are simulated based on the assumption that future development will follow past development patterns. The project examines changes in runoff volume directly affecting water quality and flooding in and around the study areas. Pre-development and post-development runoff volumes are estimated through hydrologic analysis using land use, soil type, and average rainfall data.

Within one generation, Korea had transformed itself from a poor agrarian society to a modern industrial nation, a feat never seen before. What makes Korea’s experience so unique is that its rapid economic development was relatively broad-based, meaning that the fruits of Korea’s rapid growth were shared by many. The challenge of course is unlocking the secrets behind Korea’s rapid and broad-based development, which can offer invaluable insights and lessons and knowledge that can be shared with the rest of the international community.
