‘스스로 변하지 않으면 아무 것도 바꿀 수 없다. 바뀌지 않으면 아무 것도 성취할 수 없다’끊임없는 변화와 발전을 위한 노력이 있어야만 원하는 바를 얻을 수 있다고 확신하는 최기선 인천광역시장의 말이다. 30년 가까이 정치생활을 이끌어 오는 동안 최기선 시장은 무수히 많은 고난과 역경과 마주서야 했다. 그럴 때마다 그는 정직과 성실을 바탕으로 정의를 위해 스스로 헌신하기로 주저하지 않았다. 그리고 3번의 인천시장을 맡아 오는 동안, 정치적 욕심(?) 마저도 뒤로하고 오로지 인천의 발전과 인천시민의 복지를 위해 최선을 다했다. ‘서민에게 힘이 되는 시장’이 되고자 항상 서민의 목소리에 귀 기울이고 서민의 생활에 눈길을 주는 최기선 시장이기에, 인천시민의 압도적인 지지로 민선시장 자리를 계속해서 지키는 일은 당연한 귀결인지도 모르겠다. 서민의 생활안정과 더불어, 인천을 21세기의 첨단 정보 · 관광 · 무역 도시로서 국제의 중심에 우뚝 서게 하겠다는 야무진 계획을 추진하고 있는 최기선 시장이야말로 이시대가 필요로 하는 행정가, 정치인이 아닐까

This study is to consider economic, political, socio-cultural and environmental characteristics of the new urbanization process and its spatial structures and urban policy of Seoul in the 1990s. Some experimental findings which have been identified throughout this study can be summarized as follows. First of all, Seoul, the largest city in S.Korea has experienced a restructuring process of economy, which has been promoted by the development of producer services as well as knowledge- based or high tech industries. Secondly, the autonomy of Seoul has increased after the introduction of local self-government, with relatively higher self-management of local finance than other cities, strengthening the tendency of enterpreneurialism, empowering civil movements, and increasing the political participation of women. Thirdly, in the socio-cultural aspect, the material wants to gain a certain identity through consumption, using urban environments culturally, varying consuming attitudes and ways of leisure times in relation with the rapid development of transportation and information communication. Fourthly, in the environmental aspect, Seoul has tried to introduce the concept of sustainable development in terms of increasing wants on the quality of life, and to develop a pro-environmental eco-city with environmental rehabilitation, constructing green space and eco-park. Finally, in the spatial dimension, Seoul has shown a structuration of multi-centers, with highly spectacular urban landscapes and seemingly authentic urban planning. These results make us confirm that Seoul has been in the process of new urbanization which can be distinguished from the previous one.

This study used a contents analysis method of newspapers to related to urban regeneration and tourism. The role of tourism in urban regeneration has become very important recently as social and cultural regeneration has become more important than physical regeneration. Despite this importance, relevant policies or regulations are very insufficient in our country. Therefore, this study was to examine the interest in urban regeneration and tourism in our society through the contents analysis of the number and content of newspaper articles and analyze the trend empirically. As a result, the degree of interest in urban regeneration and tourism was able to confirm that the level of interest in tourism was increasing year by year. It suggested that the government needs to enhance the quality of tourism contents and actively implement the system in order to promote urban regeneration projects in the future.

The term hybridity has recently emerged as one of the most popularized leitmotivs in contemporary diasporic and transnational problematics on migrants' nomadic experiences. Especially, in postcolonial politics, hybridity is argued to provide a critical 'third space' on which to challenge discursive boundaries and redescribe power-embedded history However, this paper suggests that the hybrid subject position can be easily articulated in producing new cultural discourse and empowering hegemonic subjects in certain spates. Based on distinguishing the intentional, conscious hybridity from the organic, lived hybridity, this research Intends to investigate the Janus-faced, double-edged nature of the postcolonial politics of hybridity in the case of Los Angeles Koreatown. First, I discuss how a place of organic hybridity in Koreatown can lead to challenging invented and depoliticized ethnicity. At the second half of this paper, 1 focus on understanding the ways in which new Korean American professionals and elites employ the discourse of '1.5 generation' as an intentional hybridity for empowering their own political position at a local scale. I conclusively suggest that hybridity should be a deconstructive strategy to unlearn dominant socio-spatial boundaries rather than bring about the third space as a reterritorialized political position.

It is generally accepted that there is always a potential for crisis in the capitalist society because of the internal contradiction of capitalism. The contradiction is explicitly and implicitly expressed in space. The fundamental contradiction in capitalism, however, is controlled and mediated by the state (i.e., the capitalist state). We thus could argue that the state plays an important role in the capitalist society and in the capitalist spatial formation. It is necessary to note how and why spatial structure has developed unevenly in capitalist societies, particularly in the U.S., The general concept of uneven geographical development is understood in the context of the capitalist economic system and the role of the state. But the problem is that the capitalist state itself has a contradiction between the productive function (i.e., accumulation function) and the reproductive function (i.e., legitimation function). The compromise of the two functions is always the dilemma of the state and the state becomes the object of class struggle (e.g., political class struggle) . The research questions are as follows. First, what is the role of the state in the economic structure and what is the internal problem of the state\ulcorner Second, what is the role of the state in space economy (or in spatial structure)\ulcorner And last, what is the relation between the federal state and the local state in the U.S. and how does the relation form the urban policies and thus the urban and regional development\ulcorner The paper will be looking at how the political economy in the U.S. explains unevenly developed geographical phenomenon.

This article examines how India's major colonial cities-Madras, Calcutta, Bombay (today, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai) and New Delhi- are described in India's history textbooks and analyzed them from the perspective of Indians. It is explained the major colonial cities as the process of making the cities and their political, social, economic and cultural changes, the separation between British and Indian, urban planning, colonial architectures built by British colonial power in Indian history textbooks. The viewpoint of its descriptions is featured by the coexistence of 'deprivation, exclusion, discrimination, resistance, challenge' and 'grant of opportunity, acceptation, absorption'. That is, this characteristic maintains a mutual confrontational and inseparable relation. And in a multi-layer, it enables to consider the inherent characteristics of a colonial city reflecting the British ruling ideology and the society within which the rulers and proprietors are forming without simplifying the cultural characteristics. It is clear that there was a resistance against the unreasonable discrimination and exclusion that had been suffered by the British colonial government as well.

The final purpose of this study is to explore morphological change of Shenyang in the period of the rising Chung Dynasty. For that purpose we have tried to build the historical GIS DB of site and analysis of the structure and shape pattern of the city by using the functions of GIS. From the view of spatial structure and cultural context, main characteristics, which is derived from the analysis of ancient map of Shenyang, can be summarized into five things as follows ; transformation of open spatial structure into closed structure, combination of horizontal spatial structure with vertical structure, transformation of practical spatial structure into symbolic structure, transformation of natural spatial structure into institutional form of ancient Chinese capital city, conservation of traditional Manchurian culture.

복잡한 시스템의 악순환 고리를 끊는다는 것은 많은 어려움과 또 다른 구조적인 문제를 초래할 수도 있다. 우리나라의 수도권과 비 수도권간의 격차 문제는 복잡한 시스템의 악순환 구조를 보여주는 대표적인 사례일 것이다. 수도권으로의 정치, 경제, 사회적 집중과 상대적으로 비 수도권 지역의 과소·소외 상황은 어세, 오늘의 문제가 아니라 지난 40여년 이상 누적되어 온 과제라고 할 수 있다. 수도권의 집중이 가속화되는 동안 정부는 이를 완화시키기 위하여 각종 조치를 취하여 왔다. 그러나 수도권으로의 기능 집중은 지금도 진행되어 오고 있으며, 정부의 관련 정책들의 효과는 상대적으로 미약한 수준이다.(중략)

본 연구에서는 횡단면 즉 지방자치단체별로 "고정된 효과"를 가지고 있다는 전제하에 시의 공무원 정원을 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 주장하는 시의 공무원 정원은 시 공무원 1인당 업무량에 기준한 적정정원에 대한 산출은 아니나 도시형태별로 - 일반시와 도농복합행태의 시 - 동종 시가 평균적으로 고용하고 있는 현정원에 가까운 평균 인력규모를 타단체와의 비교를 통하여 평균적인 추세를 파악했다는 점에서 의의 있는 일이다. 그러나 공무원 정원산정의 거시적 모델을 학문적으로 논의하는 것은 가능할 지 모르지만 계량적 방법의 한계가 있기 때문에 이를 현실에 적용하는 것은 정치적.사회적으로 타당성에 한계가 있다.성에 한계가 있다.
