This study investigates the spatial policy of small towns in China. Small towns in China are important in terms of settlement system, rural urbanization and new adaptation to changing situation. It was necessary that they shoud take charge of the tool for solving the problem in rural reform periods. Rural urbanization, which had aimed at transferring the surplus labor smoothlv, was connected with the growth of rural industrialization (a township enterprise). However, the location of township enterprises was so dispersed that the transfer of surplus labors was not satisfactory. Hence, the concentration of the rural industry in small towns has been taken up as an inevitable alternative. Namely, it can be said that changes and adaptation of reform process, such as industrial restructuring and migration, should be integrated and concentrated in small towns.

In this paper the key drivers change for cadastral organizations have been presented according to the following aspects; Geo-ICT development including positioning technology, government's public organization innovation policy, cadastral market opening pressure and decreasing of cadastral survey work. It was confirmed that the role of cadastral organization has to be changed from the conducting cadastral survey organization to the spatial information provision organization. Eventually it should take a role to realize Spatially Enabled Society(SES) which is fundamental for national development and upgrading quality of life in the society. From the case study of international cadastral organization, cadastral organization should take core responsibility for the Nation Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI) and meeting the future costumers requirements through technical developments and organization's innovation efforts.

On the Korean peninsula, which has been recognized as a safe haven from earthquakes, A magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurred. It has been confirmed that the Korean Peninsula is no longer a safe zone from an earthquake. The purpose of this study is to examine the state of the earthquake preparedness in our society and to grasp the properties of the building which is a direct damage object in the event of an earthquake and to help the decision making of the earthquake disaster prevention policy through the construction of the earthquake safety map. There is a purpose. Earthquake safety maps are created through spatial analysis using GIS tools. The construction of an earthquake safety map is not the whole of the earthquake disaster prevention policy, but it means that it is a starting point to effectively replace the earthquake disaster prevention system.

This paper investigates the social and political construction of geographical scale in conjunction with Korean housing politics. Recently, attention has been drawn to the issue of the social and political construction of geographical scale. Spatial scales have increasingly been regarded as socially constructed and politically contested rather than ontologically pregiven or fixed. The scale literature has paid attention to how different spatial scales can be used or articulated in social movements, with an emphasis on 'up-scaling' and 'scales of activism' rather than 'down-scaling' and 'scales of regulation.' Furthermore, the scale literature has focused on the aspect of empowerment. However, it is worthwhile to examine how scale-especially 'down-scaling' and 'scales of regulation'-can be used not only for marginalizing or excluding unprivileged social groups, but also for controlling the (re)production of space, including housing space. Under a regulatory regime, the Korean central government gained more control over the (re)production of housing space at geographical multi-scales by means of 'jumping scales,' specifically 'down-scaling.' The Korean central government has increasingly obtained the capacity to 'jump scales' by using not only multiscalar strategies for housing developments, but also taking advantage of various scales of institutional networking among the central and local governments, quasi-governmental institutions, and Chaebols, across the state. Traditionally, scale has been regarded as an analytical spatial unit or category. However, scale can be seen as means of inclusion(and exclusion) and legitimation. Choosing institutions to include or exclude cannot be separated from the choices and range of spatial scale, and is closely connected to 'scale spatiality of politics.' Facilitating different forms of 'scales of regulation,' the Korean central government included Chaebols and upper- and middle-income groups for the legitimization of housing projects, but excluded local-scale grassroots organizations and unprivileged social groups as decision-makers.

This study aims to calculate reasonable carving capacity of the Gwangneung area and to review its tourism policies from the perspective of the tourist's demands. According to the analysis results, The socio-psychological carrying capacity by targeted intervals of time is generally underestimated and less than desired. Parking lots followed by stores and then roads are the biggest issues weighing down the area's carving capacity Also, another finding shows that the physical carrying capacity, analyzed based on area use, is estimated for 600 tourists and 130 cars. This study recommends following that Gwangneung establish various tour programs linking its cultural and historical sites to forest and ecological resources. Further to this, Gwangneung might be better off exerting efforts to developing environmental education programs and training more cultural and ecological guides. The findings necessitate that should be made off limits to cars, and instead servicing the area with shuttle buses. Management offices can also be classrooms used for cultural, historical and ecological education and exhibitions. Other findings suggest an expansion of convenience facilities such as more potable water stations, benches, resting areas and a continued monitoring of tourism activities in the area.

Recently, "aging in place" has become the principle philosophy of elderly housing policy in many countries. However, since there is ambiguity surrounding the universal definition of it, the meaning of AIP has been defined by political expediency. This study aims to discuss the meaning of AIP by examining the transition of elderly housing issues and policy in Japan. During the last two decades, the Japanese government has tried to launch a new elderly welfare system to shift the responsibility of elderly care from the family to the society and from the society to the region. And the focus of elderly housing policy has shifted from the promotion of three-generation dwellings to supporting the development of private residences. However, since the main goal has been limiting the welfare budgets rather than enhancing the quality of life, elderly housing issues have been reduced to a matter of choosing either elderly care facilities frequently located in suburbs or not. This paper suggest that we should pursue the true AIP idea in housing policy, and argues that to do so we need to consider AIP from diverse aspects such as temporal continuity, the range of space, the dynamics of place experience and the capability of communities.

The purpose of this study was to select the sectoral vulnerable areas index in welfare field and analyze the socially vulnerable areas from comprehensive analysis. For this study, preceding research and theoretical background were reviewed. Through this, we selected for the analysis index and criteria, and data corresponding to the index are collected. Based on the index and criteria, the data analysis was performed in Seoul Metropolitan City selected as the spatial extent of this study. From the results of analysis, the sectoral lower rank 10% of social vulnerable areas was determined. In addition, Junggu, Yongsangu, and Seodaemungu from the comprehensive analysis of individual vulnerable areas were derived as a final vulnerable areas. In particular, Junggu was weak in all sectors; Yongsangu was in the medical sector; and Seodaemungu was poor in housing and education. Lower vulnerability index of all sectors (energy, housing, medical, transportation, and education) in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd residential areas by examining use zoning was showed. From the results of this study, we can expect time and labor saving of policy support in public sector.

오늘날 우리사회는 환경변화와 기후 위기 가속화로 인하여 삶의 질 악화는 물론 인류 생존까지도 걱정해야 시기에 이르렀는데, 이러한 변화의 주범인 온실가스의 75%가 도시에서 발생되고 있다(Global Sustainable Development Repor, 2019), 이에 국제 사회는 도시 중심의 녹색 전환 정책 추진 중인데, 우리나라는 2017년부터 '도시재생뉴딜사업'을 추진하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 지자체가 주도적으로 환경성과 창출 방안을 마련, 도시의 지속가능성 높이는데 일조하고자 탄소중립 선도 도시 사례와 도시재생의 문제점을 살펴봄으로써 도심 내 과밀화 문제와 탄소배출 해결 방안을 제시하였다. 당초 '도시재생뉴딜' 사업은 도시의 다양한 니즈를 충족시키기 위하여 시작되었으나, 최근에는 도시 노후화와 탄소배출 문제에 대응하기 위하여 '그린도시', '친환경 도시'를 지향하고 있다. 그러나 이를 뒷받침할 법·제도의 제·개정 및 이를 바라보는 이해관계자의 시각 전환이 이루어지지 않아 크고 작은 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 도시재생의 첫 번째 문제점은 정책지원의 30% 이상이 일반근린형에 집중됨에 따라 주거형 도시재생 양상을 띄고 있다는 점이다. 이는 임기가 제한된 지자체장이 가시적인 성과를 위하여 도시 내 인프라 확충에 집중한 결과로 지속가능한 도시재생을 저하시키는 요인이 되고 있다. 두 번째, 도시재생 뉴딜사업이 계획수립과정에서 지속가능성에 대한 검토와 환경성 평가에 대한 고려 부족으로 기후 위기 대응에 미흡한 실정이다. 노후 도시의 주거 과밀화 문제를 해결하고 효과적인 도시 탄소 감축을 위하여 건물 - 마을 - 도시 등 여러 공간 단위의 온실가스 배출량 감축 전략 수립이 필요하다. 세 번째, 치·이수 위주의 도시재생 뉴딜사업으로 탄소 중립 대책이 미흡하다. 대응 방안으로는 자원의 관점에서 물 소비 감소 촉진 및 재생에너지 증가 전략이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to understand changes in Seoul's downtown planning from the 1960s to 1990s. The approach was examined by classifying its formation process though urban conservation. The effects of modernization and urbanization on Seoul's downtown planning were as follows. In the 1960s, Seoul attempted to decentralize urban functions due to excessive population. In the 1970s, a policy to diversify urban functions according to Gangnam development was enacted. In the 1980s, the existing downtown declined, and the sub-downtown grew with changing urban functions. In the 1990s, the identity of the existing downtown was recognized through the Seoul Memorial Project. This study also analyzed downtown planning efforts concerned with urban conservation. First, the physical aspects of existing buildings and street facilities were maintained. Second, the spatial aspects for the maintenance of surrounding areas were proposed. Fourth, the social aspects for accessibility by Seoul citizens was improved. This analysis demonstrates the concept of urban conservation based on physical-spatial-social aspects.
