This paper identifies public transit-poors and derives spatial characteristics of the poors' distribution in an urban area by utilizing buffering analysis of geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques in the case of Daegu metropolitan city. Since special attention is given to elderlies, this study assigns three hundred meter buffer from bus/subway station as service boundary for elderlies. The results of this study tell us that 1) the transit-poors are concentrated on suburban and rural regions, 2) high proportions of the transit poors are elderlies with spatial variations in many regions, 3) the main housing type of the transit-poors is single detached house. We expect that this study can contribute to build an effective policy-making by showing essential technical processes and methods in identifying policy-need groups and their characteristics of spatial distribution.

We examine the major factors governing the travel time for commuters in the Seoul metropolitan area. To identify the determinants of the commuting time for residents with jobs in the city centre, a multiple regression analysis is performed using household survey data. The results reveal that commuters in Seoul place higher value on time than on living space. Thus, we may conclude that recent trends in income segregation in Seoul are not the result of increased housing demand but of dispersed jobs and better amenities offered in the suburbs.

We investigated characteristics of temperature variation in urban and suburban areas(e.g., paddy field, upland, park, residential area) and urban heat island(UHI) during winter(December 2005 to February 2006). The daily maximum air temperature was not significantly different between suburban and urban areas, whereas the daily minimum air temperatures were significantly lower in the suburban areas than that in the residential area. The wind speed in the urban park(0.3 m/s) was much lower than that in the paddy fields(2.3 m/s), likely due to an urban canopy layer formed by high buildings. The UHI intensity was represented by differences in daily minimum temperatures between urban residential and paddy field areas. The UHI intensity($4.1^{\circ}C$) in winter was larger than that($2.6^{\circ}C$) in summer. This may be because a stable boundary layer develops in the winter, and thereby this inhibits diffusion of heat from surface.

Land suitability assessment is the procedure that assesses development, agriculture or conservation suitability of land according to such criteria as soil, location and usability. But there are many problems to execute land assessment by law. Problems include inadequate basic data, lack of linkage with the spatial planning system, and inefficiency in operation. The purpose of this study is to improve methods of land suitability assessment as a sustainable land use management tool using case study. In this study, land suitability assessment will be executed through GIS. On the basis of the results of this case study, practical and institutional problems are described, and technical solutions are suggested.

The purpose of this study is to understand daily variation of short-wave radiation trends according to the state of surface and observation of atmosphere conditions in downtown and suburban observation area. The followings are main results from this study. 1) We found out daily air temperature variation of downtown is less than that of suburban area because of bigger heat capacity of artificial elements such as massive buildings and pavements. 2) It is more effective to estimate of air condition by water vapor pressure than relative humidity in the atmosphere. 3) The difference of solar radiation ratio between downtown and suburban area is dependant on different atmosphere conditions at two observation stations.

In Bangkok, Thailand, there is an increasing concern for ground subsidence with the rapid urbanization. Given the presence of flood vulnerability due to the flat low-lying topography and proximity to the river delta, it is particularly significant to monitor deformation that can potentially augment flood hazards. In this paper, we have applied persistent scatterer interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PSInSAR) technique to investigate subsidence in Bangkok with the use of Sentinel-1 acquisitions spanning from June 2018 to October 2021. The vertical displacement velocity obtained from both ascending and descending orbits revealed regional-scale subsidence at rates up to 30 mm/yr. In addition, ongoing subsidence was observed in the suburb areas with the localized vertical subsidence exceeding 80 mm. The areas are primarily industrial and agricultural sectors, thus, the ground subsidence detected is probably caused by groundwater withdrawal. However, further work is needed to diagnose the trends of aquifer resources.

The purpose of this study is to design and construct a data mart that anyone can easily analyze subway OD movement patterns. Subway OD data of the year 2017 was downloaded from the Seoul Open Data Plaza and used as the source data. A multidimensional model was designed, and Gaussian mixed cluster analysis and visualization analysis using Tableau were performed. Interestingly, movement between suburban and Seoul accounts for 23% of the total traffic. The passengers of Suwon Station move to the suburbs much more than Seoul, while Pangyo Station mostly moves to Seoul. As a result of Gaussian mixed cluster, eight clusters of OD segments were found, and the characteristics of each cluster were characterized by segment distance and passenger size.

In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz,5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban) in wideband multipath channel. For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time-variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipath is within one chip are distingushed into each one and the strongest signal is selected, DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.

This empirical study researched the three major phenomena of differentiation of housing market under the large scale of new town construction in the metropolitan area, the spatial differentiation pattern of housing market due to the urban growth, and the relationship with the distribution of housing submarket and suburbanization. Yongin City, one of the most active growth cities among the metropolitan areas, is optimal place to investigate the spatial differentiation pattern of the housing submarket on the microscopic scale. Furthermore, Yongin City has not only the geographical benefit but also the strong influences from institutional, social, and environmental changes. This city is divided into four housing submarkets, where to Gangnam and Boondang, Gyeongbu and Youngdong expressway has significant effects. In addition, the housing tenure and size, household structure, educational background and income levels and so on also resulted in the differentiation of the housing submarket.

본 연구에서는 식물의 개화시기가 기온에 민감하게 반응한다는 것에 근거하여 54개의 기상관측지점을 선택하고 1988년부터 2008년까지 21년간 벚꽃 개화일의 시계열적 변화를 분석하였고 이들과 3월 평균기온과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 그리고 엘니뇨와 라니냐 시기에 기온과 벚꽃개화일의 변화 경향과 도시화에 의한 기온변화가 벚꽃 개화일에 미치는 영향을 대도시와 교외도시와의 비교를 통해 알아보았다. 또한 경험직교함수(EOF) 분석을 통하여 벚꽃개화일의 시 공간 분포를 알아보았다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 3월 평균기온 분석을 통해 1988-2008년 사이에 한반도의 기온은 평균적으로 $0.13^{\circ}C$ 증가하였음을 확인할 수 있다. 그리고 평균적으로 남해안이 동해안과 서해안보다 평균기온이 높게 나타났으며, 서해안이 가장 낮은 평균기온을 보였다. 그리고 내륙지역의 경우 위도에 따라 평균기온이 달랐으며, 위도가 낮아질수록 평균기온이 크게 나타났다. 하지만 모든 지점에서 유의하지는 않았다. 두 번째, 벚꽃개화일의 변화를 보면, 개화일은 시간이 지날수록 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 벚꽃개화일의 분포를 보면 위도가 낮은 지역이 개화일이 빨랐으며, 해안지역 중에서는 남해안, 동해안, 서해안 순이었다. 세 번째, 2월, 3월, 4월의 평균기온과 벚꽃 개화일의 상관관계 분석결과 3월 평균기온이 벚꽃개화일과 상관관계가 가장 높았다. 네 번째, 엘니뇨가 발생한 해에는 한반도의 기온이 상승하는 경향을 보였으며, 동시에 벚꽃개화일도 빨라졌다. 다섯 번째, 대도시가 교외도시에 비해서 기온상승이 높았으며, 벚꽃개화일도 빠르게 나타났다. 마지막으로, 경험직교함수(EOF) 분석 결과 3월 평균기온과 벚꽃 개화일의 1mode 시계열 패턴이 비슷하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 1996년을 기준으로 이전에는 개화일이 느려지고, 이후에는 빨라지는 패턴을 보였다.
