  • Namdaemun Market, Seoul
    Namdaemun Market, Seoul Namdaemun Market is one of the largest markets in South Korea The Namdaemun Market is located in South Korea's Seoul district. It is one of the largest markets in South Korea that sells an assorted range of products, including men and women's apparel, children's clothes, kitchenware, accessories, and other products. The market is also known as Sungnyemun. Almost all of these shops have their own manufacturing units and thus are able to sell the products at both wholesale and retail prices. As a result, the visitors are able to buy the products at extremely low rates. Visitors from different countries show unique tastes and preferences. For example, while the tourists from the West are inclined to enjoy just the aura of the market, the Chinese are interested in buying clothes and some miscellaneous items, the Japanese are foodies as they like ginseng, gim, and gimchi. Children wear has captured over 90 percent of the market. You would find children's dresses, socks, shoes, and T- shirts. A major part of the market is covered by women's apparel, including suits, casual wear, clothes for elderly, women suits, etc. The Namdo Market along with the subterranean Doggaebi Market sells infant goods, clothing, liquor, canned food, etc. Ginseng sells dried squid, peanuts, pine nuts, dried cod, laver, etc. The Optician's shops sell corrective glasses, sunglasses, and contact lens.

  • 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.

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,

  • Exchange Report
    Exchange Report Yonsei University (연세대학교) Seoul, South Korea KIM, Joo Eun BBA in Global Business & Marketing, Year 3 Fall 2017 Part I: Monthly Activity Log August 2017 I arrived in Seoul in late August, a few days before the dorm check-in day. After relaxing and exploring Seoul with my family and friends, I moved in to Yonsei University’s SK Global House on the 26th. The few days before Orientation is a great time to snap some gorgeous campus photos as students are still on holiday and there is barely any crowd. Most people after moving in went to stock up on home supplies at Daiso (this chain of stores has economical prices). There is a large Daiso located across the road from Exit 2 Sinchon station, and a smaller one before that right next to the station exit. For my SIM card plan, I got it activated at SK Telecom in the main Sinchon road in front of school. I found it really unique how you could pick the last four digits of your phone number. Before the start of the semester on September 1st, I had catch-ups with my family and friends who came to visit. We went for a fantastic Korean BBQ at 형제갈비 in Sinchon (the BBQ is incredibly pricey, but the 24H 갈비탕 is very worth it), visited 경복궁 while wearing 한복 and also had a refreshing 팥빙수 at the iconic 설빙 dessert place. September 2017 Semester started on the 1st, and the first week or so was about settling into the study rhythm and groove of the University lifestyle.
