This study investigates the possibility in establishing the wine theme village in Youngwol area, and grape production and wine industry in world and Korea. Wine import market formed since 1988 in Korea. Because Korean wine production will be finished in 2011, Korean farmers need the strategy against foreign grape and wine importers. That is to establish the wine theme village, one of green tourism. Many pensions and raftsmen are concentrated along the Donggang river, where Geowoun-ri of Youngwol area is located. Possibility in establishing the wine theme village in Geowoun-ri is depend on the attractive program that people enjoy in Youngwol are. The programs have to consist in the regional image.

Neoliberalism can be seen as a path-dependent, hybrid and contradictory project that operates actually (not just ideologically) through intervention of the state that has been not weakened in its strength but different in its strategies, especially through neoliberal policies of remaking urban space. This paper seeks to characterize the development of neoliberalism and urban policies in S. Korea, by examining the trajectory of neoliberalism generated in its contextually specific way since the late 1980s, by illuminating the intersection between new neoliberal programs and the existing developmentalism of the state and changes in spatial policy with its effects, which can be divided into two phases: the first from the late 1980s to the economic crisis in 1997, and the second from the crisis to the present. This paper finally identifies several paths in which the state and the market would be interrelated, and argues that the vision of national development and spatial policy should be welfare(i.e. human)-oriented, not industry(i.e. capital)-oriented.

Inequality of environmental impact is forecast to deepen due to the damage of environmental risk by the interaction between environmental and social inequalities causing more harms to environmentally vulnerable population. This study assessed the integrated cumulative impact of Seoul using Environmental Health Screening Tool developed by Environmental Protection Agency of California. In order to screen vulnerable area to environmental health, 10 indexes have been selected according to the environmental burden of exposure to environment and public health effects, population characteristics of sensitive populations and socio-economic factors. As a result of assessment conducted on cumulative impact of Seoul for years 2009~2011 through Environmental Health Screening Tool, risk factor for districts of Gangseo and Gangnam of Seoul showed high - Gangseo area indicated high risk factor both in environmental burden and population characteristics, while Gangnam area appeared high in environmental burden. The result of survey will be able to suggest scientific basis to push through fair and effective environmental policy in consideration of environment vulnerable population.

This study investigates the way in which to what extent the creation of industrial park effects on regional economy, particularly in terms of employment. We carry out empirical research with the case of industrial parks being under construction in Gimhae, Yangsan, Haman and Geochang in Gyeongnam. First of all we analyze the number of jobs and the existing location of firms, which are currently confirmed to move to industrial parks. Then we attempt to evaluate employment effects given to its focus on the relevancy of employment, the possibility of employment retention and the quality of jobs. The findings are as follows. It is estimated that the relevancy of employment is higher in Haman and Geochang than in Gimhae and Yangsan. On the contrary, when it comes to the possibility of employment retention, it seems to be that Gimhae and Yangsan are more favourable than Haman and Gimhae. Regarding the quality of jobs, jobs created in the period of constructing industrial park tend to be by and large temporary, but regular jobs tend to be more and more increased during the period that full-scale production activities are operated.

공간자료를 다루는 일반적인 과정은 연구자의 정의에 따라 달라질 수 있지만, 일반적으로 자료 수집, 자료 구축, 분석 및 결과 도출의 일반적인 과학/공학적 분석 절차와 유사하다. 산업체의 관점에서 볼 때, 1990년대 초기 국가GIS 사업이 시작될때부터 현재까지는 공인된 자료 구축에 많은 주안점을 두어서 기존 아날로그 자료의 디지털화, 자료 가공, 데이터베이스 구축, 자료의 시각화 등의 일반적인 자료 구축 및 도시에 주안점을 두어왔다. 또한 다양한 공간해상도의 원격탐사 자료와 같이 다중 근원 자료의 이용이 빈번해짐에 따라 공간자료의 갱신 또한 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 그러나, 공간자료를 다루는 일련의 과정이 궁극적으로는 특정 분야에서의 의사 결정보조자료의 제공 등을 지향한다고 간주할 때, "from data to information to knowledge"의 중간 혹은 최종 단계의 결과물을 산출하기 위한 적절한 분석 기술의 개발 및 적용 또한 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 공간분석을 별도의 학문분야로 간주하느냐 아니냐의 문제와는 상관없이, 최근 20년간 공간분석은 GIS 및 원격탐사 분야뿐만 아니라 기본적으로 공간자료를 다루는 많은 응용분야에서 공간자료의 이해와 부가정보의 생산을 위한 중요한 기술 분야로 간주되어 왔다. 공간분석의 여러 응용 분야중에서 환경분야에의 적용 연구는 또한 환경과학이라는 별도의 분야 뿐만 아니라, 기존 학문들인 지리학, 생태학, 지구과학, 사회학, 경제학, 도시 계획 등의 하위분야에서 중요한 방법론으로 자리 잡고 있다. 이 기술 세미나에서는 환경분야에 직간접적으로 활용이 가능한 공간정보 분석 기술의 동향을 지구통계학을 중심으로 소개하고자 한다. 국내에서 크리깅으로 대표되어온 지구통계학은 적용하는 학문 분야에 따라 보다 넓은 의미를 가지는 공간 통계학이라는 용어로 사용되고 있지만, 보다 학문적/기술적 의미로 살펴보면 공간분석의 특화된 분야로 간주할 수 있다. 1950년대 알려진 광상의 위치 정보를 이용하여 은둔 광상의 위치를 추정하기 위해 기본 개념이 소개된 이후에 수학적으로 이론이 1960년대 정립된 지구통계학은 많은 발전을 이루어 현재 다양한 분야에서 적용되고 있다. 그러나 외국과 달리 국내에서는 크리깅을 고급 내삽 기법으로만 간주하여 단순 주제도 작성에 제한적으로 사용하고 있다. 이 기술 세미나에서는 특정 학문분야에서 적용되기 보다는 일반적으로 통용될 수 있는 지구통계학의 기본 개념을 우선 소개한 후에, 국내외 학계에서의 환경주제도 제작과 관련된 주요 응용분야를 소개하고자 한다. 이후에 지구통계학이 적용될 수 있으면서, 다학제적 관점에서의 이슈가 될 수 있는 분야를 제시하고자 한다.

The global environment is rapidly changing due to the Coronavirus outbreak, especially in areas that have been relatively neglected, such as border areas. In particular, In the post-COVID era, the border area between the two Koreas requires a new perception and conceptualization as a space for reconciliation, cooperation and coexistence. Through the status and outlook of post-COVID era, this paper analyzed the promoting directions of each situation, such as SWOT analysis, depending on the characteristics of changes such as domestic preference, changes into standards of new national competitiveness, changes into regional value chains, and the transition to digital economy in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Based on the previous analysis, this paper proposed realistic approaches such as the utilization of buffer zones, expansion of non-political cooperation to prepare resilience, and promotion of new growth engine industries. In addition, this paper suggested prepared strategies for analyzing the influence of positive and negative cases and responding to them by writing possible scenarios.

This paper is to examine the decision-making process and various institutional engagements for the relocation of the German capital to Berlin and to identify its geographical implications. Germany had faced many difficult problems in the way of the national reunification, but achieved it peacefully. Just after the unification, the new location of the capital(Bundeshauptstadt) for the united Germany between the authentic capital 'Berlin' and the real democratic capital 'Bonn' was intensely discussed in the parliament as well as in public. Finally Berlin was chosen for the new location by the decision of the parliament and during the ten years after the decision, the German government tried to prepare all the requirements for the capital relocation. The physical relocation of the capital came to an end with the move of both the parliament and the administration to Berlin in september of 1999. However, its political, economic, and socio-psychological impacts still remain strong and are likely to continue. This relocation could symbolize the national identity building through the real integration between East Berlin and West Berlin as well as between East Germany and West Germany. It is, furthermore, closely related to the geo-political and geo-economic roles of Germany in a new European constellation in the post-Cold War era.

It is necessary to develop a new location model to support the application of smart technology and confluence in the 4th industrial revolution era. In this study, we propose 'network-type industrial complex' as a method to link several industrial integrated spaces which are dispersed in an area. As a result of conducting a survey of companies in order to develop a new location model, about 89% of companies recognized the necessity of network-type industrial complex. As a condition for activation of the industrial complex, 'complementary function formation', and 'convenience of nodular transportation' were selected. It is expected that it will be possible to supply low-cost, high-efficiency industrial complexes through opening and linking with urban space and infrastructure sharing.

This paper is to provide some suggestions to complement and extend theory of network city, and to consider preliminarily its applicability for development of the Yeongnam region, exploring its normative implications for urban and regional policy and its significance of empirical research. In order to resolve some limitations and problems of network city theory and of empirical research, we need to reconsider systematically analysis methods, to extend indices of connectivity, to reconfirm normative characters inherent in network city theory, to suggest the constitution of cooperative governance, and to develop policies for embedding functional connectivity into internal community. In a preliminary analysis of Yeongnam region on the basis of network city theory, it is not clear whether the urban system of the region is entirely a type of network city, even though it seems to be close to network city. However, in order for the Yeongnam region to orient towards network city, we can point out importance of policy issues such as expansion of transportation and communication infrastructure, strengthening of economic connectivity, constitution of cooperative governance, and local embeddedness of functional network within the region.
