This paper aims to describe port competition in East Asia and the Korean government's port strategy. In doing so, the paper provides an overview of global changes in international trade, the shipping industry and the port business. It also delineates the status of port competition in the region. Particular examples are taken from the competition among the ports of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, as well as those of Pusan and Kwangyang, Kaohsiung, Kobe, and Shanghai and Yantian. The port competition in East Asia is reviewed and classified in two groups: north-tier competition among traditional major players, such as Kobe and Pusan, and dark horses such as Shanghai, Kwangyang and perhaps Yokohama; and south-tier competition among the three traditionally big players Kaohsiung, Hong Kong and Singapore, and the relative newcomers of Yantian in China, and Tanjung Pelepas In Malaysia. Due to the enlarging of ships and expansion of port activities, the boundary between the two tier frontiers breakdown, or they may even merge, into one grand frontier, in the foreseeable future. Although it appears that Asian ports are not being very aggressive in preparing for the future of mega-carrier in their plans, it is true that China, Korea and Taiwan are moving full steam ahead in comprehensively developing their container ports on a large scale. It therefore seems to be the perfect time for rival ports to explore a port alliance strategy to fight against the trend toward alliances between of many shipping lines.

Global(mega) event has increased throughout the 1990s, with the biggest surge occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. Along with this upward trend, competition for more desirable tourists is also surging, so destinations cannot be complacent (Getz, 1997). Event is appearing as the powerful method in the fierce competition around the industry. International events like 99 Hanam Environment Expo have been held annually in Korea since 1991 in which the local government system started. The main roles of event are to enhance the image of communities and attract tourists (Kotler and Haider and Rein, 1993), to strengthen destination attractiveness as drawing power (Mill and Morrison, 1985), and so on. Focused on the destination image, the research (Sirakaya and Sheppard and McLellan, 1997) about the effect of perceived safety at a potential vacation destination showed that destination marketers, travel agents, and hospitality industry members should be concerned with improving their images when such images are negative with regard to safety. Event industry in Korea does not seriously recognize the importance of the safety management against accidents known for tarnishing the destination images. Moreover few safety standards or studies for event industry can be found. This paper investigated the safety factors considered by visitors of 99 Hanam Environment Expo and analyzed the correlation between the safety factors and the demographic characteristics of the visitors.

최근 지구온난화 및 기후변화의 영향으로 수재해가 증가하고 있으며, 강우의 경향성이 변화하고 있다. 태풍 및 집중호우로 인한 피해보다 장기간의 연속적인 강우의 발생으로 인한 피해가 더욱 크며, 기존 수공구조물의 설계기준은 연속적인 호우로 인한 피해를 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 거대홍수란 집중호우, 태풍, 이상홍수 및 돌발홍수로 인한 홍수피해의 여파가 끝나기도 전에 또 다른 강우사상으로 인하여 거대한 홍수가 발생하는 시나리오적 상황을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 제공하는 한강권역 30년 동안의 (1986 ${\infty}$ 2015년) 강우자료를 이용하여 거대홍수 발생횟수, 경향성, 설계기준을 초과하여 발생하는 거대홍수 초과빈도를 분석하였다. 최소 무강우 시간 정의(Inter Event Time Definition, IETD)를 이용하여 거대홍수를 산정하고, Mann-Kendall test 및 이중누가우량분석(double mass analysis)을 통하여 거대홍수의 경향성 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 기존 수공구조물의 설계기준의 취약점을 보완할 수 있을 것이라 판단되며, 태풍, 집중호우, 거대홍수 등으로 발생하는 홍수피해를 줄이기 위한 방재 사업의 우선순위 결정에 대한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

In proportion to continuing growth of overseas plant market and the trend of its mega scale of the project, the importance of management is significantly emphasized for the successful execution of the project. And it is recognized that progress control is the most important management item amongst the others in the management. Progress control is importance of progress measurement for performance measurement and process control of project, but it is hardly obtainable securing the objectivity in the progress measurement since the progress measurement are being applied differently in accordance with the project conditions and the experience level of the person in charge for the progress control. This study has conducted as following to propose a standard method for progress measurement in a petrochemical plant protect. Domestic and overseas plant projects are investigated variously with the applied method of progress measurement, and the deduced problem of progress measurement. And then standard method for progress measurement of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning has been proposed according to comparison and analysis of practices in domestic & overseas plant project, procedures for progress control in the globally reputed petrochemical client, company rules and recommendation of the expert in progress control.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly diffused across industries and societies as nations' essential strategic technology. In innovative technology, such as AI, a startup leads to technological innovation and significantly impacts the expansion of relevant industries. Thus, this study examined the trend of AI startup venture capital (VC) investments globally, focusing on ① noteworthy VC investment statuses (the number and size of the investment, company establishment, and corporate collection), ② the characteristics of each key nation's investments, and ③ the characteristics of each submarket's investments. Among the 11 countries, the results showed that Korea ranked near the bottom for absolute quantitative measures, including the number and size of investments, company establishment, and corporate collection. However, Korea has built a foundation of catching up with what AI-leading countries have established, considering Korea's high growth rate in the number and size of investments and a recent mega-round. This study has practical implications in that it determined the AI startup VC investment status of Korea's rival countries, not only G2 (US and China). The results can be used in policy-making. Furthermore, identifying the AI industry's submarkets and analyzing each market's VC investment status could be used to establish strategies for the AI industry and R&D.

This paper examines the characteristics of structural change in the international agro-food trade network with a global trend of the FTA diffusion. By focusing on the centralities and the community structure to identify the agro-food trade network, we use the social network analysis and the trade data contained of 07, 08, 20, and 21 at the 2-digit HS product level among 45 countries over the last 15 years. The main analytical results are as follows: 1) Not only has intra trade network intensified more than inter-regional trade, but also, there is no doubt that inter-regioanl trade by linking has steadily increased. 2) EU countires have the high indices of centrality, which have already been highly integrated. 3) Intraregional agro-food trade network for fresh vegetables and processed food sector in Asia is shown to be strongly integrated. This finding suggests that the processes of economic integration will help strengthen the trade network for agro-food in a culturally homogeneous region. 4) The case of Korea's participation in the RCEP and TPP, Korea's power in the agro-food network tends to be reinforced, especially in the processed food sector. Overall, there is a need for establishment of spatial strategies and policies across the different regions for Mega FTAs.

It has widely been recognized that the EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea was a succeeded mega event, according to, at least, the international media's attention and reports. This study analysed and compared the trends of the international media's reports on Yeosu in terms of before, preparing, during, and, after periods of the event, through a semantic network analysis. It was revealed that the images of Yeosu have dramatically been upgraded. The city of Yeosu, before the event, was a small port city of South Korea's southern part of peninsula. The city, after the nomination for the next host city of the exposition, was described to a city who had a full potentiality to host a world exposition, not a southern port city of South Korea. After the event was opened, Yeosu was a city of cutting-edge technology and cultural creativity, who had contributed to solve our humankind's pending ecological problems. Even after the events closed, Yeosu was continuously impressed as a ex-city of world exposition, a hub city of Asia trade, and a center for marine ecological restoration. It was suggested that extended monitoring, differentiated communication strategies, long-term planning, and professionalization of the staffs.

Urban Air Transportation (UAM) is a three-dimensional transport within the city using eVTOL as an alternative to the saturation of land transportation due to overcrowding in major cities around the world. Design has played its roles in various fields in the development of transport, but research on the design application of UAM, which will be commercialized soon, is insufficient. Accordingly, there is a growing need for prior research on the forecasting the future environment and the design application through phenomenon analysis. The purpose of this study is to derive mega trends through STEP analysis for UAM and present ways to apply design in the UAM field based on this. The research method was conducted in the following order. First, the theoretical background of UAM was established by analyzing prior art documents on UAM. Second, five trends in the future environment centered on UAM were derived through STEP analysis. Finally, in order to derive a design application, five experts in each design area (product, visual, video, environment, service) discussed the design application focusing on the results of STEP analysis and derived a design application plan for each design area in the UAM field. Through this study, it was found that the most frequent design area in the STEEP analysis is product design and service design, and therefore related design development is important. After analyzing UAM's information provision plan, display method, and usage process suggested in this study, it is expected that it will lead to various prior design studies related to UAM, such as customized service design, to establish an infrastructure environment for commercialization of UAM.

Recently automotive markets are on the way into maturing status with the mega merger between makers which brought equalizations of technology and upgrade of overall performance of vehicles. For the reason why it is the recent trend which has more importance on the software oriented element such as the style design of vehicles than the hardware such as the mechanical elements. This changing characteristics of automotive design which requires more creativity and finished style treatment on an automotive design demand the specific method of designing from the lingual concept of the vehicle. In this research the possibility has been observed the design elements between the greenhouse of the vehicle body with analyzing the shape elements of it and the change of the characteristics of body shape had been observed. The possibility of extract of creating the method of specifying the shape from the lingual concept had been examined either.

Recently automotive markets are on the way into maturing status with the mega merger between makers which brought equalizations of technology and upgrade of overall performance of vehicles. And the needs of automobile also changed into replacement buying from the entry buying. For the reason why it is the recent trend which has more importance on the software oriented element such as the sane design of vehicles than the hardware like the mechanical elements. This changing characteristics of market which requires more creativity and finished style treatment on an automotive design demand the concept of shape grammar for conducting shape on the macroscopic view. In this research the possibility has been observed to use the body proportion as the concept of the shape grammar for analyzing the relations between the form, sign, and perception as a basic principle of organizing shapes.
