  • Browse the Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan Meeting Report Here
    An International, Regional Meeting on Land-Cover/Land-Use Changes, Water- Energy-Food Security, and Sustainability in Central Asia and Caucasus 16-18th September 2019, Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan Krishna Vadrevu*, Chris Justice$ and Garik Gutman^ *NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, USA $University of Maryland College Park, USA ^NASA Head Quarters, USA Meeting Summary Several countries in Central Asia are undergoing rapid land use/cover changes due to industrial development. In addition, agriculture and water resources are highly impacted due to land degradation and climate change in the region. Agriculture in these countries is highly dependent on the irrigated water. There are two defining characteristics of water in Central Asia; one is the endorheic nature of the region - Central Asia’s rivers either enter terminal lakes that lack outlets or they simply disappear before reaching any larger water body. Evaporation and infiltration exceed precipitation in the arid plains. This leads to the second defining characteristic: the region’s unusual dependence on precipitation that falls at high elevations. Some of this water is retained in glaciers, but much of it flows down to the arid, more heavily populated lower elevations. Climate change, glacial retreat, dam construction, water use for irrigation, and infrastructure development have significantly altered hydrological processes in the region, imposing a major threat to water- energy-food (WEF) security. The additional character was the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, before which resources utilization was coordinated to balance water-energy-food through centralized governance. Independence allowed the individual states to monetize rather than trade their resources across international boundaries.

  • Seoul City's Social Innovation Strategy: a Model of Multi-Channel
    Seoul City’s social innovation strategy: A model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement. Sunkyung Han, Jungwon Kim, Sojung Rim and AhYoung Park Spreadsi, South Korea Social Frontiers The next edge of social innovation research Social Frontiers Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: 2 a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen govern- ance and citizen engagement Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement Jungwon Kim1, Sunkyung Han, Ahyoung Park and Sojung Rim Abstract Over the past two years, Seoul Metropolitan Government has significantly changed the way it engages with its citizens – moving away from a one-way public communication model towards a system with greater focus on getting citizens more involved in decision-making process. Seoul Metropolitan Government has developed various communication channels that open up two-way dialogue between the city administration and citizens. This research paper explores how these new communication channels are creating a culture, which encourages city administration to engage with citizens who provide information about their needs and help shape new ideas. The research results show that Seoul Metropolitan Government’s multi-channel communication builds shared understanding and trusting relationship among various stakeholders including citizens. It enables them to become partners in co-creating innovative solutions to problems of our society. 1 Introduction Social innovation is gaining considerable interest in public policy discourse all around the world and South Korea is no exception. Ever since a well-known social innovator, Wonsoon Park, be- came the Mayor of Seoul in October 2011, there has been a shift towards a participatory and open dialogue between the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and Seoul citizens.

    SEOUL 서울 WOHNORT ich habe in itaewon, yongsan-gu, 1 1/2 h von unserer partneruniversität gewohnt. das war in ordnung, da ich in der nähe aller stadtzentren war. die mietpreise sind ungefähr wie in frankfurt, jedoch werden sie teilweise stetig teurer. die kautionen die man für zimmer bezahlt sollte man auf jeden fall miteinkalkulieren, weil sie bei 500€+ anfangen. eine gute möglichkeit wohnungen zu finden ist craigslist seoul und home to home in facebook. TRANSPORT wenn man in seoul ist sollte man sich eine tmoney karte kaufen, die funktioniert wie eine pre-paidkarte und ist immer wieder aufladbar. jede fahrt kostet umgerechnet ungefähr 1€ und hält für eine 1h, alle 30 min kommt wieder eine minimale gebühr dazu. züge sind nie zu spät. UNIVERSITÄT: DUKSUNG WOMENS UNIVERSITY die universität liegt sehr weit oben im norden neben dem national park - es ist sehr schön da. sie ist eine frauenuniversität aber für ausländische studierende ist es möglich sich auch als mann zu bewerben. sie ist sehr schulisch und bietet kurse die sich von ihrer aufmachung sehr zu uns unterscheiden. für kunst nicht zu empfehlen, jedoch wenn das interesse an der koreanischen sprache da ist, kann man dort koreanisch lernen. ich habe dort ein halbes jahr modedesign gemacht und einen koreanisch kurs für anfänger belegt. die lehrkräfte waren sehr aufmerksam, hilfreich und zuvorkommend. ich hatte keine probleme an der universität - vorallem das büro für internationale angelegenheiten war unglaublich sweet. es gibt kurse die extra für auslandsstudierende angeboten werden, diese sind auf englisch (zum beispiel korean popculture, korean movies and culture oder korean language).

  • Smart City, Smart Residents: Seoul's
    While a city’s extensive ICT infrastructure can be a key factor in establishing it as a Smart City, the citizens as users will be the driving force behind the city’s shift to the “Smart” paradigm. CLC researchers Zhou Yimin, May Ee Wong and Koo A Mi discuss how Seoul, under Mayor Park Won-soon, has continued to transform itself into a Smart City by putting citizens at the core of the Smart City development process. Elected in 2011, Mayor Park has taken a consultative approach to governance. His pledge to listen to the people Smart City, Smart Residents: is represented by an interactive “Big Ear” sculpture installed outside Seoul City Hall.

    Challenges for Environmentally Sustainable Transport In Seoul Gyeng Chul Kim* <TABLE OF CONTENTS) I. INTRODUCTION 3. Infrastructure II. OVERVIEW OF TRANSPORTATION IN 4. Technological Innovation SEOUL 5. Quality and Passenger Safety III. BUS SYSTEM REFORM 6. Environmental Concerns and 1. Main Targets of Bus System Passenger Car Reduction Policy Reform IV. ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BUS 2. New Fare System SYSTEM REFORM i. iNTRODUCTiON Throughout the 1990s, Seoul faced demographic changes that created new transportation demands that the city could no longer respond to. These changes in transportation patterns increased private car use, unorganized bus transportation routes, and travel across longer distances. Buses were once the most widely used mode of transportation, but demographic changes devastated the service. The transportation system was in chaos and urgently needed reform. The traditional method of piecemeal approaches for the bus system reform no longer worked, as evident in the mid-1990s in Korea. Innovative and intensive reorganization strategies, rather than fragmented approaches, were necessary. The Public Transportation Reform is a major step towards sustainable mobility. The key of its success lies in its integrated approach combining organizational measures, innovative technology, infrastructure development, and transport operation. Seoul is one of the rare cities to have implemented such comprehensive reform, in such a short period of time, and working simultaneously * Senior Research Fellow, Director, Department of Urban Transit,

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
