Construction of the Pyongyang Railroad Station began in 1907 as an important foothold for the Japanese colonization of the Korean Peninsula and the further invasion of Manchuria. As Pyongyang gradually grew in size and political significance, the Pyongyang Station came to have two responsibilities: Fulfill its functional role and serve as a monument to the growing dignity of the city. This study argues that the Pyongyang Station, newly rebuilt in 1958, was the first building to solve the demands for both functional expansion and the pursuit of monumentality. Stylistically, the original single-story wooden building became a three-story classical masonry building. The stylistic change symbolizes the political shift by which the building was reconstructed. The simple wooden building built by the Japanese, representing Pyongyang's status as a colonial provincial town, was transformed into an imposing gateway for the capital city of a newly born socialist state. Socialist Realism, correctly described by its slogan "socialist in content and national in form," harmoniously blended classical architecture, socialist symbols, and Korean local motifs. This study is significant in that it illustrates the historical changes and continuity of the Pyongyang Station from 1907, when it was first built, through the "liberated space" to the postwar reconstruction period of the 1950s.

논문에서는 북한지역에서의 미래 기후변화에 따른 재해영향 정도를 평가하기 위해 WMO에서 제공하고 있는 북한지역의 각 관측소별 기후자료를 수집하여 북한의 시계열자료를 수집하였고, RCP기후변화시나리오를 이용하여 북한에서의 기후변화의 변동성 및 이로 인한 재해가 발생되었을 때 지역의 재해 취약성을 이용하여 기후변화가 재해에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 평가하기 위해 북한의 11개 행정구역을 대상으로 각 단계별로 설계강우부하, 인간위험지수(Human Risk Index; HRI), 재해영향지수(Disaster Impact Index; DII)에 대해 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과 Future 1기간일 때 자강도가 보통(C등급)에서 위험(B등급)으로 상승했다. Future 2일때 황해북도는 그대로 위험하다고 나타났고 강원도와 황해북도의 등급이 보통(C등급)으로 상승했다. Future 3의 경우 평양시가 보통(C등급)에서 안전(D등급)으로 하강하였으며, 함경남도와 개성시가 위험(B등급)에서 보통(C등급)으로 하강, 강원도, 자강도가 보통(C등급)에서 안전(D등급)으로 하강, 평양시가 보통(C등급)에서 안전(D등급)으로 하강하리라 전망되었다.

To understand the impact of 2015 spring drought on crop production of DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), we analyzed satellite and weather data to produce 2015 spring outlook of rice paddy field and rice growth in relation to weather anomaly. We defined anomaly of 2015 for weather and NDVI in comparison to past 5 year-average data. Weather anomaly layers for rainfall and mean temperature were calculated based on 27 weather station data. Rainfall in late April, early May, and late May in 2015 was much lower than those in average years. NDVI values as an indicator of rice growth in early June of 2015 was much lower than in 2014 and the average years. RapidEye and Radarsat-2 images were used to monitor status of rice paddy irrigation and transplanting. Due to rainfall shortage from late April to May, rice paddy irrigation was not favorable and rice planting was not progressed in large portion of paddy fields until early June near Pyongyang. Satellite images taken in late June showed rice paddy fields which were not irrigated until early June were flooded, assuming that rice was transplanted after rainfall in June. Weather and NDVI anomaly data in regular basis and timely acquired satellite data can be useful for grasping the crop and land status of DPRK, which is in high demand.
