Urban rivers and their surrounding environments have been altered due to factors such as rapid economic growth and urban development. This alteration have caused the rivers to lose their original value and become exposed to various pollution, resulting decrease in citizens' quality of life. This study aims to estimate citizens' Willingness To Pay (WTP) for water quality improvement in Suyeong River in Busan. To estimate the non-market value of the Suyeong River, the WTP of Busan citizens for water quality improvement was estimated, applying Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). The WTP for improving the water quality from Grade 4(polluted water) to Grade 2(game fish like bass can live in it) was estimated using the water quality ladder concept of the US Environmental Protection Agency, assuming annual donations for five years. For the CVM, the logistic distribution and Spike Model were adopted. As a result, citizens residing in the surrounding area of Suyeong River expressed a higher WTP. Considering more than half of the Busan citizens are aware of the "conservation of nature and ecosystems" as a major function of the Suyeong River, this higher WTP could serve as a basis for improving the value of urban rivers.

The purpose of this research is to propose a plan on migration policy based on features, through analyzing the migration adaption process and the farming life of the back-to-countryside population throughout the nation. For this, survey has been conducted to find out urban-to-rural migrants' motives and characteristics. The major reason for the migration was the household's financial condition, and the most of migration decisions were made by either one's spouse or parents. The migration fund was primarily spent in early agricultural activities and it was the neighbors who aided them the most whilst teaching them many farming techniques. Some government-supported policies are being highly demanded regarding the lower level of income (than urban life) and difficulties of raising cultivation funds; these two things are what migrants consider as the most inconvenient and suffering matters in farming life. Many surveyee have responded that they would constantly stay in the rural area and continue on their life as a farmer, giving a promising prospect for future farmland life. Based on these trends and features, development strategy regarding elaborate settlement plan of urban-to-rural migration is necessary.

The Sin-Wol filtration plant was an urban infrastructure and off-limits to the public. It is recreated as a representative experiential theme park in the southwest area. It has not only provided places to relax, but has made a new model of urban park by reusing advantages. The current lack of easy access into the park area almost isolates it like a green island. The neighborhood surrounding the park does not have many physical connections to the park to be able to use it. By connecting the surrounding communities with numerous access points into the park and linking the hiking trails and bike paths, the city's need for open space and recreation would be far better satisfied than before. This would allow for the use of the valuable assets of the existing forest and open space.

In the recent years, there has been attempts to try to understand the urban waterfront in diverse aspects. This article aims to understand basically the port-city's waterfront by the cultural interpretation of it in the basis of the concept of Water Culture. Water has the attribute that put down the border between inside and outside. This attribute of water leads to the attributes of Sea, such as dynamism, collectivity, and openness. The perimetric quality, openness, hybridity, and passage quality of the sea-port city's waterfront are resulted from these attributes of water and sea. These cultural attributes of urban waterfront exert a effect upon the residents' cultural identity of sea-port city. Thus the correlation between waterfront's attributes and the cultural identity should be reflected in the stage that its development is planned.

This study recent changes in urban thermal environment caused by climate change generate diverse problems such as urban heat island effects, heat wave, and drought. Under this condition, with the increased perception and expectation of the quality of life, the urban citizens' desire for outdoor activities is increasing. This study conducted the thermal environment analysis focusing on the urban ecological park used by many urban citizens, and also suggested the renovation measures for urban ecological park considering the thermal environment. As the research site, the ecologically-favorable Gildong Ecological Pak with diverse space composition was selected. The measuring items were measured and analyzed by dividing them into thermal environment index and thermal comfort index. In the results of analysis in each type of park space, the forest zone showed the most favorable result. Based on such results, total three kinds of renovation measures for urban ecological park considering the thermal environment were suggested. Through this, the urban ecology park renovation plans were presented in three ways. The results of this study are meaningful in that it can be used as a base material for creating an ecological park considering the thermal environment.

유비쿼터스도시는 기반시설을 지능화하여 효율적으로 도시를 관리하고, 다양한 정보의 융합을 통한 첨단 도시서비스를 제공하는 새로운 개념의 생활공간이다. 유비쿼터스도시에서 활용하는 유비쿼터스정보기술은 언제, 어디서나 편리하게 유용한 정보를 제공하는 이점이 있다. 그러나 첨단화된 컴퓨팅 기술로 말미암아 도시민들이 인식하지 못하는 사이에 정보의 유통 활용이 이루어짐으로써, 다양한 정보를 어떻게 보호할 것인지에 대한 문제가 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 또한 유비쿼터스도시 통합운영센터로의 정보 집중으로 인한 정보유출 또는 정보침해 방지 대책이 주요 이슈로 등장하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 개인정보의 유출에 대한 원인을 다각도에서 분석하였다. '유비쿼터스도시 정보보호 기반조성'이라는 기본방향 아래 '개인정보보호를 통한 삶의 질 향상'을 목표로 하였다. '정보보호를 위한 체계 수립', '유비쿼터스사회에 대비한 정보보호 기반 조성', '정보보호 모델개발 및 지원', '시민이 참여하는 정책수립'을 추진전략으로 수립하였으며 이를 실천하기 위한 주요 추진과제들을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study were to classify the Y/N in participating the urban farming and to analyze the intention in farm village experience tourism, reason to participate and non-participation, the positive image and negative image between the urbanite group experience in urban farming and the other group that does not experience it. Questionnaire was implemented to the metropolitan urbanite who visited exemplary field farmhouse and urban recreation space to analyze the comparison of groups that experience or do not experience urban farming. The result of this research is as follows: first, experiencing urban farming are relatively less in willingness to participate in the farm village tourism experience than those who do not experience it. Second, the largest reason to participate in farm village tourism experience is found to be the natural environment of farm village tourism experience that is different from that of the city and the effect on children's education. Third, most answers on the reason for not participating in farm village tourism experience is because of the busy daily life. Fourth, urbanite have positive image in general about farm village tourism experience. Especially, when the comparison between the groups was made, it was showed that the difference in understanding the crops growing and the natural environment difference in the city. Fifth, about the negative image on the farm village tourism experience, it showed the difference in understanding the unfamiliar scenery, shortage of eye catching and fun, and the necessity and cost between the groups. Consequently, this study may be significant in the recognition of the farm village tourism experience on urbanite were checked, it was revealed that Y/N experience in the urban farming made negative influence to the willing.

인터넷의 발달로 인해 현대의 사회와 도시는 인터넷 이전의 사회와는 확연히 다른 모습으로 변화하게 되었다. 이러한 사회적 배경을 바탕으로 세계의 여러 나라와 도시들은 기존의 도시 기능으로는 타 국가와 도시에 대한 경쟁우위를 가지기 힘들어졌다. 이러한 시대의 요구를 충족 시켜줄 수 있는 것이 바로 u-City의 출현이다. 각국과 도시들은 여러 사업체와의 제휴를 통하여 활성화된 투자환경을 조성하고 특화된 사업 모델을 통해 차별화된 서비스를 제공하고, 좁게는 도시민의 편의와 삶의 질을 향상 시키고 더 나아가 지역산업활성화를 도모하여 경쟁력을 높이는데 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 이연구의 목적은 이러한 지능기반 사회를 추구하는 u-City의 발전이 무조건 사회에 장점만을 반영할 것인가와 u-City와 기존도시와의 정보통합관리 및 정보와 조직의 연계방안에 대한 발전방안 살펴보고 어떤 방향으로 이루어져야 하는지 생각해보는 것이 본연구의 목적이다.
