The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of industrialization and urbanization of Gwangyang Bay Region on the change of urban system and spatial structure between triangle-cities located in Gwangyang Bay, Yeosu City, Suncheon City, and Gwangyang City, one of the famous industrial zones in Korea. Large-scale development projects carried out by the central government in the Gwangyang Bay Region such as construction of the Second Oil Refinery in the mid-1960s, completion of the POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks in the mid-1980s, construction of the Gwangyang Port Container Terminal in 1987 and designation of the Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone in 2003, and EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea, affected to changes of the urban system and spatial structure between triangle-cities in Gwangyang Bay Region. The above four-development projects transformed the urban and spatial structures between the three cities in the Gwangyang Bay Region from a mononuclear urban system centered on Suncheon to a network city system. Historically, Suncheon has served as an exclusive center in the eastern region of Jeonnam, including the Gwangyang Bay Region. However, the hosting of the 2012 Yeosu Expo Korea is reorganizing the three cities into a network-type spatial structure with the strengthening of connectivity and integration in the region. And this trend is expected to intensify in the future.

Using the analytical framework designed by Lester, this study analyzes self-governing capacity of ocean environmental management of Busan Metropolitan City pursuing establishment of ocean capital as one of the impending goals. Following Lester's methodology, this study analyzes the levels of two critical variables: will of chief executives and physical base. It was found that mayor of Busan Metrocity and high-level public managers concerned showed somewhat low levels of will, considering Busan is the top-ranked ocean city in South Korea. Comparison of number qf public servants and size of budget for ocean environmental management with seven other metropolitan cities in Korea also revealed that Busan Metropolitan City maintained a relatively low level of physical base. In conclusion, the level of self-governing capacity of ocean environmental management of Busan Metropolitan city is classified into the type of regressives or the type of delayers.

In general, furniture industry, with its high foreign dependency, has serious logistics issues that are commonly raised in such countries as Korea, China and Japan. This leads to my different possibilities & ways of rationalizing the logistics systems that utilize port hinterlands. Thus the purpose of the present paper is to create new logistics systems which will work effectively across the three countries. In this research study, we came up with 2 logistics models in which the port hinterland of Busan serves as the distribution center for furniture industry, and the models were suggested as the cooperative logistics business systems for the North-east asian region. In the proposed models, 'Busan furniture logistics center' has the dual functions of 'the cross-docking center from China to Japan' and 'the assembly & delivery center for furniture imported by Japan'. To have this logistics business center materialized, we propose that policy-level supports from the relevant port authorities be provided in the following three aspects: overseas investment promotion focused on the furniture industry of Japan, protection & enhancement of competitiveness for the port of Busan, and uilization plans for the new port hinterland of the city.

The purpose of the study is to propose a policy implication of urban logistics in the Incheon metropolitan city. To attain the aim, it reviews new characteristics that Logistics Policy Fundamental Law(LPFL) published by government 2009 suggests and studies the previous papers like Logistic Fundamental Plan(LFP) of other metropolitan cities. After that it proposes a policy implication through benchmarking of urban logistics plan at Tokyo city not only located at a capital area at Japan but also including port and airport. The results are as follows. Firstly, field survey studies of the "LFP" every five years will need to keep pace with "Urban Fundamental Plan"(UFP) having designed to all cities legally every ten years. Secondly, Incheon will be required to create value-added logistics, making best use of third-party logistic companies to small-medium sized businesses along with the age of green. Thirdly, LFP needs to be performed through a mutual cooperation and adjustment among Incheon, Gyeonggi-do and Seoul and in this regions eco-friendly companies performing related logistic activities have to be followed executive and financial supports. Lastly, it will be obliged to develop a evaluation management index to understand the advancement level through a feedback system.

This study aims to analyze the effect of reducing air pollutant emissions of the ship fuel oil sulfur content regulation policy, which has been gradually introduced for three years. In addition, the emission reduction effect of VSR and AMP was also analyzed. The analysis was conducted on NOx, CO, VOC, SOx, TSP, PM10, and PM2.5, which are provided by EEA, and the spatial scope of the analysis was conducted on Incheon Port, which is located in the metropolitan area of Korea and has a large ripple effect on air pollution. Three scenarios were constructed for analysis. Scenario 1: If there is no policy, Scenario 2: If only fuel oil sulfur content regulation was implemented, Scenario 3: The analysis was conducted by reflecting fuel oil sulfur content regulation, VSR, and AMP. As a result of the analysis, in the case of scenario 1, 4,801 tons, 4,932 tons, and 5,144 tons of air pollutants were emitted during the three-year period. In Scenario 2, 4,219 tons, 4,152 tons, and 3,989 tons were discharged, and in Scenario 3, 4,198 tons, 4,138 tons, and 3,973 tons were discharged. The findings of this study are anticipated to be applied as fundamental research in port air environment management and Incheon Metropolitan City air management.
