Even though rarely recognized as a separate approach, the institutional approach in geography is defined as an attempt to seek an explanation of the phenomena of geographical interest through focusing on the effects of institutional structure and actions. It can provide interdisciplinary links with other works and can offer complementary explanations for geographical interests. The concerns for institutions in geography can be found in early studies, the study of the state, the managerial approach, and the regulation approach. The Korean financial systems can provide good examples to apply institutional concepts into creating spatial outcomes, as it has been regarded as a useful tool to promote Korean economic development. Behind the current spatial pattern of financial systems, four different stages of institutional changes are identified in Korea. Each stage has different institutional features reflecting unique spatial implication.

경제활동의 세계화는 세계적 금융체계의 출현을 수반하고 있으며 금융부문의 역할은 현대 경제체계에서 중요성을 더하고 있다. 또한 정보통신기술의 발달과 금융기법의 혁신, 자본이동의 자유화는 새로운 조절양식과 이에 따른 조절공간의 변화를 수반한다. 한국의 경우 금융구조조정은 전세계적인 금융위기와 필요에 의한 대응으로 이해되며 제도적 변화와 함께 금융기관의 흡수.합병.퇴출을 통하여 기업부문, 정부부문뿐 아니라 공간적으로도 막대한 영향을 미친다. 일반은행 점포수의 변화를 금융구조조정 이전인 1997년과 이후인 1998년을 비교 분석한 결과 점포수의 급격한 감소와 함께 지역적인 특색이 나타났다. 금융구조조정은 서울.경기를 포함한 수도권에서 가장 활발히 일어나고 있으며, 도시 인구규모에 민감하게 반응하여 소규모 도시일수록 변화의 폭이 감소하고 있다. 구조조정 기간 중에 은행수의 변화는 인구규모와 밀접한 연관성을 나타내고 있다.

This study examines the characteristics of service economies and their impacts on the spatial transformation of Korea during the last IS years. This study reviews the different perspectives for the tertiarization Process. It focuses on the spatial variation in the growth and location of Producer service industries. Based on the analyses of industrial and occupational compositions, services. particularly producer services, have played a major role in creating new job opportunities since the late 1980s. The ratio of services to merchandise trade is approximately 1:4, but service trades have increased since the early 1990s. Producer service activities have grown very rapidly, and the information processing service has been over-concentrated in Seoul. Further headquarters of bank and insurance services are overwhelmingly concentrated into Seoul. The firms whose headquarters are located in Seoul have linkage Pattern on a nationwide scale. The pattern of employment growth in producer services shows a clear core-Periphery disparity. In the light of the observed pattern of regional differentiation in producer service employment, some wider implications of the distribution of producer service activities for regional economic Performance are considered.

The conventional four-step travel demand model is still widely used as the state-of-practice in most transportation planning agencies even though it does not provide reliable estimates of travel demand. In order to improve the accuracy of travel demand estimation, implementing an alternative approach would be critical as much as acquiring reliable socioeconomic and travel data. Recently, the role of travel demand model is diverse to satisfy the needs of microscopic analysis regarding various policies of travel demand management and traffic operations. In this context, the activity-based approach for travel demand estimation is introduced and a case study of developing a spatial-temporal activity presence-based approach that estimates travel demand through forecasting number of people present at certain place and time is accomplished. Results show that the spatial-temporal activity presence-based approach provides reliable estimates of both number of people present and trips actually people made. It is expected that the proposed approach will provide better estimates and be used in not only long-term transport plans but short-term transport impact studies with respect to various transport policies. Finally, in order to introduce the spatial-temporal activity presence-based approach, the data such as activity-based travel diary and land use based on geographic information system are essential.

According to economic growth theory, location configuration of business enterprises engaged in specific industries has spatial affinity. In this research we defined industrial concentration index to measure industry agglomeration using the characteristics of dispersion parameter of negative binomial distribution, and used the industrial concentration index to examine aspect of spatial configuration change. We utilized Census on Basic Characteristics of Establishments of 1995 and 2000 to deduce industrral concentration indices of 7 knowledge-based industries and 9 strategy-based industries of Choongbuk Province and analyzed the aspect of spatial configuration change.

인터넷의 확산과 정보 기술의 발전이 인간생활에 미치는 영향은 정치, 경제, 사회와 같은 분야 이외에도 그 범위가 날이 갈수록 넓어지고 있으며, 그 범위를 한정짓기 어려울 정도에 이르렀다. 특히 인터넷의 확산은 거래라는 개념에 커다란 변화를 가져왔는데, 이전의 농업혁명, 산업혁명에 이르기까지 거래는 시장이라는 공간에서 이루어지며, 이곳에서 이루어지는 모든 교환활동은 교환에 참여하는 주체들이 한자리에 모여서 이루어져왔다. (중략)

The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristic of recreation forest that has been rapidly developed and increased since late 1980's. Also, the process and spatial distribution of recreation forest is analyzed. For the analyses of the characteristic of recreation forest, the concept of recreation forest that has been researched and published is explored and examined. To explain the process and spatial distribution, recreation forest used by people at present is studied in terms of time and space. It is concluded that the characteristic of recreation forest serve as nature oriented forest as well as functions as recreational space and educational place on nature. The recreation forest also produces wood far economic purpose and gives owners economic benefit. Also the study leads us to the conclusion that the process of recreation forest is related to changes in leisure activity caused by shorter working hours and tourist behavior. Finally, from this study, we can conclude that natural and social conditions have an effect on spatial distribution as an important variable.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the spatial characteristics of the medical device industry in accordance with the promotion of regional industrial policy. For this aim, I suggest a research methodology that can examine the productivity of production activity and the profitability of sales activity by the government. As the government's large-scale support is localized by the 'selective support' method, the spatial characteristics of the productivity and profitability of the industry are different. In this context, the results of the review of the government's regional industrial policy in three aspects are as follows. First, the government's support did not come down to increased productivity and profitability. Second, high productivity at the regional level did not necessarily lead to high profitability. Finally, the high market share in terms of profitability did not guarantee high profits. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to reconsider the direction of regional industrial policy so that the link between productivity and profitability can be secured in the examination of the achievement of industrial specificity and policy support.

21세기는 사이버공간의 확대, 선점이 곧 국가와 기업 그리고 개인의 생존경쟁력의 바로미터가 될 것이다. 그러나 사이버공간에서 발생되고 있는 정보화의 역기능들은 갈수록 빈번하고 지능화되고 있어 심각한 사회적 혼란과 국가의 전략적, 행정적, 경제적으로 막대한 손실은 물론 군사활동마저 마비시키고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 글에서는 사이버 광간에서의 범죄행위를 예방하고 차단시킬 수 있는 정보보호기술과 패러다임을 조사 분석하여 정보보호산업의 현황을 알아본 다음 정보보호기술의 측면에서 활성화 방안을 제시한다.

Telecommunication and intormation technology have been conceived as crucial as well as revolutionary elements for recent and future social and economic development, and their development have led to a spatial reorganization and locational change of economic activities. Information technology has resulted in important changes in the organization structure and location of firm. This study draws attention to the understanding of the relationship between the diffusion of information technology and changes in firm activities with the special reference to the service industry of the United States. Information technology has had a significant impact on the growth and changes of the service industry of the United States through changes in the organizational and employment structure, market structure, and locational changes. The impact of information technology on location changes of the service industry shows two opposite patterns, concentration and decentralization. Among these patterns, the location change in the service industry of the United States reveals predominantly the decentralization tendency such as suburbanization and transfer to lower ranking cities rather than concentration. In case of Korea, however, it is anticipated that the rapid development of information technology may lead to the concentration of the service industry in Seoul and Capital region.
