What is a role of the studies on spatial planning of Korean peninsular and its cities in the process of cooperation between and unification of South and North Korea? Where should the basic perspectives be oriented for the process? Can a comprehensive plan of North Korea have practical implications although South-North cooperation does not get into its stride? If it can, which contents should the plan cover? This study aims to contemplate these issues and to suggest a preliminary land development approach of North Korea, which would contribute academic and practical debates on the issues, at this juncture of the cascade of studies on spatial planning in North Korea. It assume South-North relation would evolve from 'reconciliation and cooperation' and 'confederation' into 'unification' of South and North Korea which is based on the official plan of South Korea. We suggest, as the basic perspectives of development approach, cooperation(or co-evolution), future-oriented sustainability, and parallel development of industry and physical infrastructure. The development potential of North Korea is explained by detail fields and sub-regions, which is used to analyse SWOT and to subsequently extract the basic directions(vision and strategies) of North Korea development. These directions are followed by the spatial structure plan to improve North Korea using the potential of the regions. Based on the plan, the development directions of detail fields are suggested.

북한의 개방정책과 남한의 대북사업의 추진으로 대북한의 효율적인 국토개발과 지속 가능한 환경보전의 전략을 수립하는 것은 매우 의미 있는 일이다. 본 연구에서는 특히 산업단지 개발사업 도중의 토양유출량을 추정하여 인근하천이나 연안해역의 개발전과 개발 이후의 토양유출량과 비교하고, 토양유실 추정유역의 지형분석 등을 통하여 기존의 적지선정방식에서 고려되지 못한 개발사업 중 연안해역의 환경변화를 저감하기 위한 인자를 도출하였다. 이를 위성영상 자료처리에 적용함으로써 북한과 같은 접근이 불가능한 지역에 있어서 자연환경 변화를 저감할 수 있는 친환경적인 산업단지 적지분석 기법을 도출하였다.

이 연구의 목적은 북한 지역체계의 특징을 이해하고, 남북한 국토공간을 하나의 기능적 단위로 통합할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는데 있다. 북한의 지역체계는 도시간 분화, 상호의존, 그리고 대도시 지배를 주요내용으로 하였으며, 자료의 제한으로 인하여 탐색적 차원에서 연구를 진행하였다. 북한의 지역체계는 개성-평양-신의주를 연결하는 서부축, 원산-청진 -나진·선봉을 연결하는 동해안축, 그리고 희천-강계-만포를 연결하는 내륙축으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 보인다. 북한의 도시는 서부지역 도시를 제외하고는 분화의 정도가 상대적으로 낮고, 도시간 상호의존도 또한 낮은 것으로 보인다. 다만 북한의 경우도 평양이 종주도시화 되었으며, 수위도시인 평양이 북한 전역의 도시를 직접 통제·조정하는 것으로 보인다. 이는 북한이 고도의 중앙집권적 사회주의 경제체제라는 점 그리고 '자족적' 도시발달을 추구하였다는 점과 부합된다. 이 연구에서는 균형성(통합성), 대외연계성, 그리고 효율성을 원칙으로 남북한 지역의 기능적 통합 방안을 단계적으로 제시하였다 중단기적으로 북한의 동해안축을 연결시키며, 장기적으로는 남한의 동해안축을 개발하여 국토공간의 균형적 발달을 도모하는 것이 바람직하다고 본다.

Recently, the South and North Korea have collaborated in the economic cooperation. Success for the cooperation of the South and North Korea has supported the basic and fundamental GIS data building for geographic information (GI) and the land-use of the North Korea. This North Korea GIS project is also vital to facilitate rebuilding and reconnecting socio-economic infrastructures such as reconnecting road and railway networks between the South and North Korea. Thus, this paper emphasizes on the fundamental issues of GIS data building in North Korea area and suggests GI and data establishment methods of the North Korea regions which has not been achieved in GIS research activities in Korea. As the basic GI and data in the North Korea, topographical maps, satellite imageries, and thematic maps were collected and used for surveying of territorial areas of the North Korea. The database of those dataset were built by scanning, image processing, and classifying land-use types. In addition, this paper exacted vector data from the database and included the vector data into the database as other basic GI dataset that enable to analyze quantitative and qualitative territorial land use and development in the North Korea.

This study is to review research issues on North Korea and unified territory in terms of topics and approach method in Korean human geography. The conclusion of this paper is as follows. Before 1980's, topics on political geography, such as geopolitics or unified land, were the main stream in research. In 1990's with the end of the cold war and the access to material which was published in North Korea, scope of research was widened especially in geography education. After 2000's with the expansion of cooperation between South and North Korea, the scope of topics were more expanded in all field of human geography, for example, critical geopolitic in political geography, Gaeseong Industrial Complex, Najin-Seonbong region in economic geography, place names, Geumgangsan, North Korean defectors in social and cultural geography. The approach method of toward North Korea is fall into two categories. One is regional geography and the other is the unified land. In the latter approach, topics on the regional structure after reunification or on the life adaptation of defectors in South Korea etc. were studied. After unification of land, new Korean Studiea will be established and human geographers should make ready for this. Before unification, research on the land in north Korea should be proceeded in terms of historical geography.

This study collected and analyzed case studies related with the use of spatial information in North Korea to prioritize construction and required supporting processes in order to propose a short-term and long-term road map for the establishment of spatial information in North Korea. Recent research cases related to the prioritization of spatial information development were analyzed, and priority for the construction of infrastructure was derived based on the interconnectedness and relationship of national infrastructure. Due to the inaccessibility and remoteness of North Korea, all of the five studies determined priorities according to questionnaires and consulting of refugees and knowledgeable figures by expert groups. In summary, priority was given to unarmed and transborder areas, major cities, special zones, and development zones, while in terms of facilities, priority was given to power communication, railroads, water and sewage architectural buildings, roads, and dams. In the case of prioritizing the establishment of national infrastructure for the unified Korean Peninsula, the development of major areas, ports, and the related city-level spots to develop a line that promotes the sharing of routes such as transportation networks, water, and energy, thus leading to a scenario involving the development of cotton at an urban and national level.
