This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of hotel REITs' performance and operation, and to examine their use for activating the hotel industries in Korea. The results of this study are as follows. First, hotel REITs underperformed average REITs and investment proportion of hotel REITs compared to total REITs has been curtailed after 1998. This is because performance of hotel REITs is sensitive to business fluctuations. Second, hotel REITs have mainly invested chain hotels, and shared their role with professional hotel management companies. Third, hotel REITs are to be useful for activating the hotel industries in Korea. In this context, major implications are presented to use healthcare REITs effectively.

우리나라 서해안 중부, 경기만 일대는 강한 조석과 잘 발달된 해만으로 인해 천혜의 조력자원 보고로 알려져 있으나, 1980년대부터 서 남해 연안역에 대한 대규모 매립과 항만개발 등으로 조력개발입지 자체가 상실되고, 조석체계도 변화되고 있다. 한편 조력에너지는 기존의 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 개발가능한 신 재생 에너지 중에서 거의 유일하게 대규모로 개발이 가능한 것으로 평가되고 있어 개발시 기대효과는 매우 클 것이다. 이에 우리나라 서해안의 조력자원 부존량을 파악하고 주요 후보지에 대한 개발타당성 검토를 통하여 주요 조력자원 후보지를 타 개발로부터 보호하고, 민간참여를 유도하여 조력에너지 개발을 활성화하고자 본 조사를 추진하였다. 한반도 조력자원 개발타당성 검토를 위하여 1) 서해안의 주요 지점에 대한 조석특성을 조사하였고, 2) 주요 조력자원 후보지 위치 및 영역을 설정하였으며, 3) 조석체계변화예측 수치모형실험을 실시하였고, 4) 후보지별 발전소 평면배치계획을 수립하였으며, 5) 후보지별 연간발전량과 개략공사비를 산출하여 6) 후보지별 개략타당성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토결과 우리나라 서해안의 조력개발 가능규모는 215만kW 정도이며, 주요 후보지를 모두 개발할 경우 연간 3,826GWh의 전기를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 연간발전량 대비 순공사비 비율에 따르면 만 입구가 좁아 개발 경제성 확보가 유리한 가로림만을 우선 추진하고, 이후 인천만, 천수만 순으로 개발하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

우리나라는 토지이용이 고도화 되어 있고 상수원에 각종 오염시설이 이미 입지해 있으며 개발압력이 가중되고 있는 현실을 고려해 볼 때 환경기초시설 확충 및 배출기준 강화 등 사후적 관리방법으로는 상수원의 수질개선에 한계가 있다. 그리고 상수원수질보전을 위한 기존의 토지이용 규제정책도 일정 규모 이하는 규제 대상에서 제외되어 소규모 시설에 대한 효율적 규제가 안 되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 토지이용 규제에 의한 주민의 재산권 제한으로 민원도 계속되고 있다. 따라서 오염원의 총량적인 증가에 효율적으로 대처하고 주민이 스스로 오염원 총량발생을 억제함과 동시에 환경친화적으로 지역을 개발할 수 있는 새로운 수질관리 기법이 도입될 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 섬진강을 대상하천으로 각 배수구역별 유황분석을 실시하고, 오염원조사, 부하량 산정, 수질모델링의 불확실성등 안전율을 고려하여, 오염원 총량관리 기본방침을 기준으로 오염총량관리대상 오염물질의 종류인 생물학적 산소요구량(BOD)에 대하여 2006년과 2011년의 장래수질예측을 실시하였고 그 결과 목표수질을 달성할 수 있는 배수구역별 부하량을 할당하였다.

An effective management for reverse flows of products such as reuse, repair and disposal, has become an important issue for every aspect of business. In this paper, we study the Location-Routing Problem (LRP) in the multi-stage closed-loop supply chain network. The closed-loop supply chain in this study integrated both forward and reverse flows. In forward flow, a factory, Distribution Center (DC) and retailer are considered as usual. Additionally in reverse flow, we consider the Central Returns collection Center (CRC) and disposal facility. We propose a mixed integer programming model for the design of closed-loop supply chain integrating both forward and reverse flows. Since the LRP belongs to an NP-hard problem, we suggest a heuristic algorithm based on genetic algorithm. For some test problems, we found the optimal locations and routes by changing the numbers of retailers and facility candidates. Furthermore, we compare the efficiencies between open-loop and closed-loop supply chain networks. The results show that the closed-loop design is better than the open one in respect to the total routing distance and cost. This phenomenon enlarges the cut down effect on cost as an experimental space become larger.

Large metropolitan areas in the US are distinguished by highly fragmented fiscally independent suburban municipalities and special districts. The suburban fragmentation implies the congregation of similar socio-economic groups escaped from central cities and the disparity of geographical resources among local government jurisdictions. This study examines St.Louis County suburbs as a case study for the implictions of suburban governmental fragmentation and the fiscal disparities across local governmental boundaries by analyzing their relationship with public service provision using police and public school services as examples. The distribution of fiscal resources across political boundaries, the processes which created them, and public service inequalities reproduced from the disparity of fiscal resources reveal the causes and consequences of suburban governmental fragmentation. The central part of suburban fragmentation is the segregation of public goods consumption reproduced from the disparity of local fiscal resources, and it acts as a basic geographical segregating force in the suburban spatial organization.

Some subway passengers may want to have their fresh vegetables purchased through internet at a service facility within the subway station of the Metropolitan Seoul subway system on the way to home, which raises further questions about which stations are chosen to locate service facilities and how many passengers can use the facilities. This problem is well known as the pickup problem, and it can be solved on a traffic network with traffic flows which should be identified from origin stations to destination stations. Since flows of the subway passengers can be found from the smart card transaction database of the Metropolitan Seoul smart card system, the pickup problem in the Metropolitan Seoul subway system is to select subway stations for the service facilities such that captured passenger flows are maximized. In this paper, we have formulated a model of the pickup problem on the Metropolitan Seoul subway system with subway passenger flows, and have proposed a fast heuristic algorithm to select pickup stations which can capture the most passenger flows in each step from an origin-destination matrix which represents the passenger flows. We have applied the heuristic algorithm to select the pickup stations from a large volume of traffic network, the Metropolitan Seoul subway system, with about 400 subway stations and five millions passenger transactions daily. We have obtained not only the experimental results in fast response time, but also displayed the top 10 pickup stations in a subway guide map. In addition, we have shown that the resulting solution is nearly optimal by a few more supplementary experiments.

This study attempts to analyze the effects of distance-accessibility to the complex shopping mall of 'Lotte Mall-Suwon', located at the old central and catchment district of the Suwon station in the Province of Gyeonngi, on the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City by using the hierarchical and linear-difference in difference regression method. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, before construction the effects of distance-accessibility show the U-shaped pattern, suggesting that the negative external effects of noise and traffic congestion around the Suwon Station affected the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City. Second, the effects of distance-accessibility at different times, such as the construction period and after the opening, are statistically significant only in the latter, indicating the reverse U-shaped pattern unlike before the opening. This means that after the opening of the complex shopping mall its external effects as a leisure and convenience space have a positive effect on the prices of its neighboring apartments within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City. Third, the effects of distance-accessibility is at an inflection point around 1.6-1.7 kilometers, which means that the U-shaped distance-decay pattern before construction, while the reverse U-shaped pattern is shown after the opening of opening. The latter implies that apartments that are very close to the mall within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City enjoy relatively small positive externalities. Therefore, they are exposed to some negative external effects of noise and traffic congestion, but apartments with some distance apart within the Gwonseon-gu of Suwon City maximize those positive externalities. These results suggest that the effects to distance-accessibility are different from location to location.

The impact of a central place on daily living over wide outlying territory has been one of traditional subjects in the field of urban geography. The flow of rural population toward the central city of Chinju characterizes the population movement in Western Kyungnam, where the spillover of urban population into outlying areas, an especially prominent phenomenon in American society, does not occur. The central city of Chinju is supposed to be the most favored settlement area in Western Kyungnam. More than two thousands of teachers. who live in Chinju, cross the city boundary each morning to do their jobs in Western Kyungnam. But only ninety teachers living outside Chinju commute to the workplace in the city. The teachers willingly spend hours commuting each day to enjoy better quality of life in the central city. In fact, the central city of Chinju functions as bedroom communities for many middle-class workers in Western Kyungnam. On the basis of teachers' commuting behavior, four levels of Chinju's urban spheres are identified in Western Kyungnam. As Table-6 and Figure-2 show, the first-order level of Chinju's sphere includes most Myuns of Sanchung/Hadong Guns and some Myuns of Sachun/Gosung Guns. The second-order level comprises Sanchung/Sachun Eubs and many Myuns of Sachun /Gosung Guns. The third-order level is made up of Samchunpo, Hadong/Gosung/Eryung/Namhae/Habchun/Hamyang Eups, and many Myuns of Eryung/Namhae/Habchun Guns. And all of Guchang Gun and most Myuns of Hamyang Gun belong to the fourth-order level of Chinju's sphere. The influence sphere of Metropolitan Chinju is extended farther in the direction of less competition with other metropolises. Such a situation occurs to the west and south of Chinju. Daily commuting, defined as the journeys to and from work, is an excellent indicator for delimiting urban spheres of influence.
