As the process of economic globalization deepens market uncertainty and severe competition, modern companies are tend to rely on non-market, socio-economic mechanisms such as trust, collaboration, and interdependence, They are being more influenced by cultural economic mechanisms like networks, embeddedness, and placeness rather than explicit cost-reductions. This paper analyzes the characteristics of industrial clusters, the formation of social capital, and the process of institutionalization by comparing two distinctive types of clusters, say Teheran and East-Gate Valleys in Seoul, Korea. The one is mainly consisted of IT industries with increasing vertical integration supported by venture capitals and favorable business infrastructures. The other cluster has long been a traditional CBD frame of Seoul and has transformed to the most dynamic and productive area, characterized by one-stop 'R&D-production-distribution-consumption-after sales services'. The study of the developmental trajectory and key characteristics for these kinds of clusters can give us insight for the cluster theory. This paper firstly reviews the similarities and differences between the social capital in general and that of industrial clusters. It then profiles the growth of the two clusters over the past decade, and compares the current spatial and business structure of the two clusters, focusing on transactions costs, the creation and flow of information, and the local institutions. The paper concludes with some comments about the prospects and perils of the two types industrial clusters of Seoul.

The creation of new economic paradigm shift in creative economy age have influence on the characteristics of social networks and space, it leads to the formation of new relationship in space depending on social network service development. In this paper, it gives a name to 'social network resource' the power affecting these features and to find the meaning of spatial changes in the economic geography perspectives. 'Social network resource' shows the characteristics of openness, sharing, participation and cooperation, with features of encompassing all the features of local and global characteristics in space. This features are related the meaning of 'trans-locality' and can be found in the case of 'WikiSeoul.com (http:/www.wikiseoul.com)', Seoul's social knowledge sharing web platform. In particular, physical resources, human resources, information resources, and the characteristics of the relationship as a resource features was found and these features appear in space is projected to the space of social relations, it reflects the characteristics of qualitative space regarding social network resource.

The aim of this paper is to investigate adjusting process of trade-off relationship between economic growth and income distribution in China which is established by mixed with social and market-oriented economic systems. The characteristic nature of social welfare index in urban and rural regions in China is examined by employing principal component analysis. Empirical evidences reveal that unlike national wide or urban region, the increases of income contribute to improve social well-being in rural region, but not social welfare index. Accordingly, it can be said that although social well-being in rural region seems to be harmful because of weakly organized social welfare index, the potentiality exists to improve social well-being by increased income. Taken all together, the results signifies that the mixed economic system such as China might distribute its increased income appropriately, however, the distributional system is hardly operated to improve social welfare index. And thus the distributional system has to be amended to enhance social well-being in China.

외식산업이라는 말이 사용된 것은 1980년대 접어들면서 외식업이 사회ㆍ경제적으로 비중이 점차 증대하면서 시작되었다. 이는 소비자의 입장에서 외식기회의 증대와 외식에 대한 사회적 개념의 변천에 따른 현상으로 볼 수 있다. 그 이전에는 음식업이라는 용어가 일반적이었으나 산업 규모의 원리가 적용되고 외식행위 자체가 사회, 경제, 문화적인 구조적 요인에 의해 영향을 받으면서 외식산업으로 뿌리를 내리게 되었으며, 국내에서는 외식시장의 개방과 더불어 대기업의 참여가 큰 계기가 되었다. (중략)

This study analyzed the case of elderly care cluster in Gwangjin-gu to explore the possibilities of social economy as a provider of community-based social services. Community-based means the approach by which community organizations build a voluntary and collaborative network to enhance collective problem-solving abilities. Therefore, it is very likely that the social economy that emphasizes people, labor, community, and democratic principles can contribute to community-based social services. This study analyzed social economic network by using four characteristics of social economy suggested by OECD community economy and employment program as an analysis framework. The results of this study are as follows: First, it is found that social economy would hardly supply community-based social services through network cooperation because of a large variation in community identity, investment to new product, and labor protection. Second, community users are not the consumers of the social economy and the products of the social economy stay in market products only for the organizations in social economy. In order to create good services that meet the needs of residents, community development approaches are required at the same time. The importance of community space where local residents and social economy meet is derived. Third, public support such as purchasing support has weakened the ecosystem of social economy by making the distinction between public economy and social economy more obscure. On the other hand, public investment in community infrastructure is an indirect aid to social economy to communicate with residents and to promote good supply and consumption. In the end, community-based social services need a platform where the social economy and the people meet. This type of public investment can create the ecosystem of the social economy.

The media is not just a means of conveying social reality, but is also a political economic subject that restructures social reality. The perceptions and attitudes of the people who read the news can be influenced by the content and direction of the media. Therefore, it is very important to understand and discuss the characteristics of news coverage produced by media. In the case of issues closely related to economic benefits rather than general socio-economic issues, more objective arguments and confirmation of facts are required. In this study, we tried to understand how real estate policy, which is one of the major political and economic issues of S. Korean society, is covered in the media. After analyzing media coverage, we concluded that it was somewhat unreasonable to look at facts about real estate policy objectively and make realistic alternatives, because the framework and attitudes expressed in the articles varied by newspaper.

유역의 홍수위험도를 산정하기 위해서는 홍수의 발생가능성과 유역의 홍수방어 능력 등의 환경적, 공학적 요소 이외에도 홍수로 인한 피해 및 영향의 종류에 따라 사회적, 경제적, 문화적, 공학적인 요소를 반영해야 한다. 이들 홍수 피해 요소는 그 중요성이나 특성별로 홍수로부터의 방어 비중이 다르게 설정될 수 있으며 지역별로도 차이를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍수위험도를 평가하기 위한 인자 선정에 지속가능성 평가 모형인 DPSIR (Driving force-Pressure-States-Impacts-Response)을 이용하여 환경적, 공학적 요소뿐만 아니라 사회적, 경제적, 문화적인 요소를 반영하고자 한다. DPSIR 모형은 유역의 영향 인자들을 지표로 선정하며 각 지표간의 유기적 관계를 반영하는 구조로 이루어져 홍수로 인하여 인자 간에 발생하는 반응을 묘사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 인자를 선정함에 있어서 전문가 및 이해당사자들의 견해에 따른 평가 지역의 특성과 지속적인 변화 가능성 등을 유기적으로 연결될 수 있도록 평가요소로 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구는 추가 연구를 통해 남한강의 하도구간 별로 적용될 예정이며 각 인자들에 대한 자료는 문헌조사, 통계자료 조사 및 수리학적 수치모형 등의 분석을 통해 수집될 예정이다. 인자들에 대한 가중치는 전문가들의 의견을 반영할 예정이다. 향후 하천의 구간별 상대적 홍수취약도를 사회, 경제, 문화, 환경적인 측면을 고려한 인자들을 반영하여 정량적으로 제시하므로 하천 구간별 치수관리 우선순위를 결정하는데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있다.

This paper attempts to investigate the influence of IMF economic crisis on family lives through questionnaire survey of 1001 women in Seoul. According to the results of the survey, we found the following changes that the economic crisis brought to the family lives. With the unemplyment, communication between husbands and wives became more dense in both positive and negative ways. While the possibility of violence and separation beteen husbands and wives was relatively low, violence against the children more directly reflects the economic difficulties . In the economic crisis, relatives are more important resouces for supports than friends and social welfare institutions . Especially the families of the wives are the most important supporters. Through the changes of consumption pattern in economic crisis. we confirmed that the expences for cultural activities, the hospitals and private education have some flexibility. That is, those expences firstly decreased in the economic crisis. Confronting the economic difficulties economic motivation of women to find works became stronger and we saw same possibility of changes of women\`s role pattern by undergoing economic difficulties.
