North Korea and South Korea agreed to refer their investment disputes to arbitration by adopting' Agreed Minutes on Procedures of Settlement of Commercial Disputes' on 16th December 2000. According to the Agreed Minutes, the two Koreas were to establish an arbitration commission within 6 months after the Agreed Minutes had been signed. In 2002, North Korea enacted laws to draw interest of foreign tourists to Mountain Kumgang and to boost investment into the region of Kaesung as it provided in those laws that commercial disputes should be settled by arbitration or judicial procedures. In October 2003, the two Koreas succeeded in adopting another Agreed Minutes as to the establishment and functioning of North-South Arbitration Commission. The fact that the two Koreas have agreed to establish an arbitration commission is meaningful since they are leading their lives quite differently in political, social, and economic sense for more than a half century. Although there still remain doubts as to the North Korean policy on nuclear matters, an arbitration commission could be a cornerstone for the set-up of the dispute settlement system between the two Koreas and a great help for investors from South Korea to pursue their possible legal claims as North Korea is eager to invite South Korean businessmen and other foreign investors to invest in its special economic areas. According to the Agreed Minutes of 2003, the two Koreas are going to adopt procedural rules for the arbitration commission. It will be a great challenge for them to agree on specific issues as to the operation of the arbitration commission. They have to set up a rester of arbitrators respectively and may have to enact or revise their own arbitration laws and rules reflecting the Agreed Minutes of 2000 and 2003. It is quite welcome that the two Koreas have agreed to set up an arbitration commission rather than resort to political or diplomatic means to settle their disputes. The success of the arbitration system between the two Koreas will make sure the safety of investment environment in the northen part of the Korean Peninsula and will bring the peace to the Korean peninsula earlier than expected.

The important PH (paleontological heritages) with scientific, educational and esthetic values designated as natural monuments and protected by legislations of South and North Koreas are herein compared for the first time. On the basis of data (Jan. 2017) provided by the Cultural Heritage Administration of (South) Korea, a total of 457 natural monuments was designated. Of these, geological heritages are 80 in number, which includes 24 (30%) PH. Data (Dec. 2005) of North Korea show that a total of 474 natural monuments was designated. Among these, geological and geographical ones are 154 in number, which includes 22 (14%) PH. Differences between PH of South and North Koreas are regarded to be directly related with geological difference in distribution of the fossil-bearing strata between South and North Koreas. PH of Silurian corals, Devonian plants, Jurassic fishes, Cretaceous dinosaur tracks, birds (so called Korean Archaeopteryx) and pterosaurs, and Pleistocene paleoanthropological fossils appear to be scientifically significant. Together with these North Korean PH, scientific, esthetic, conservational, educational, and economical values of important PH including KCDC (Korean Cretaceous Dinosaur Coast), Jigunsan Shale, and Geumgwangdong Shale of South Korea should be evaluated as potential future candidates for international heritages.

The 21st century is not only the knowledge-based society but also the unifie era for Korea. It implies that Korea should prepare for the unification, especially in the area of knowledge, science, and technology. Under this background, this paper deals with how we can prepare for the unification of South and North Korea in science and technology (S&T) area. There have been no sufficient theoretical studies in this area. This paper, therefore, argues that regional innovation system, which has been developed since the beginning of the 1990s, could be effectively applied to the S&T cooperation and unification between both Koreas. It argues that regional innovation systems can formulate sectoral innovation systems effectively, which lead to a competent national innovation system. According to this study, South and North Korean regions have complementary sectoral innovation systems that could effectively cooperate with each other. Such S&T cooperation could make a great contribution to the S&T integration between two Koreas in the future. This paper argues, therefore, that S&T cooperation between two Koreas should target the unification of South and North Korean regional innovation systems. This paper names it as the unified national innovation system.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in terminologies used in South and North Korea, to describe objects or activities related to clothing and textiles, as a part of a bigger project that aims at developing an educational program in provision of reunification of the Koreas. In this study, a total of 176 North Korean terms that differ from South Korean terms were collected from various sources, including dictionaries that are developed to compare South-North Korean languages as well as texts such as magazines and news articles, about North Korean daily life. The terms were classified into sub-categories: materials for clothing, clothing management, construction and design, garment names, body parts, description of physical appearance or state of hygiene, and apparel industry. Many of the North Korean terms were derived from native expressions, rather than adopting foreign terms or terms in Chinese characters. Some North Korean terms did not have any corresponding words in South Korean terms or vice versa. We expect the terminology list to become a useful educational resource in establishing a clothing and textiles curriculum in preparation of reunification, by allowing the students to familiarize with the differences in the usage of terms.

Since the division of South and North Korea in 1945, there has been little exchange in science and technology, despite some interchange in a few fields including the chemistry area. Accordingly, the difference in scientific and technological terminology between the two Koreas has become intensified. This is because North Korea carried out a campaign to purify the Korean language and blocked the inflow of foreign words. They also tried to convert into their own North Korean terms in many fields. This circumstance in North Korea aggravated the heterogeneity of inter-Korean scientific and technological terms. In particular, the heterogeneity of chemical terminology has worsened due to the different characteristics of the technology donor countries such as the United States and Japan in South Korea, and China and the Soviet Union in North Korea between the two Koreas and the different way of technological development. The purpose of this study is to collect chemical terminology data used in two Koreas and analyze similarities and differences. Through comparative analysis of inter-Korean terminology in the chemical field, it can be possible to recognize how the chemical terms between the two Koreas have changed since the division and the degree of heterogeneity based on different technical systems and language policies. The outcome of this study would present basic data on the unification of chemical terminology in preparation for before and after unification, and contribute to communication and academic exchange between researchers in the inter-Korean scientific and technological fields, including chemistry.

Five Islands in the West Sea of Korea (Baekryeong-do, Daecheong-do, Socheong-do, Yeonpyeong-do, and Woo-do) are located very close to the North Korea's coast and all of them are under the jurisdiction of South Korea. The North and South Korean naval vessels clashed twice in the West Sea of Korea on June 15, 1999 and on June 29, 2002. These incidents were resulted from conflicts over the validity of the Northern Limit Line(NLL) and the appropriate maritime boundary between the two Koreas. From the viewpoint of South Korea, the North Limit Line is a lawful Maritime Military Demarcation Line under the Korean Military Armistice Agreement and it must be maintained as a maritime boundary between two Koreas until being substituted by a peace treaty. In conclusion, the maritime boundary between two Koreas cannot be settled easily by the principles of the International Law of the Sea at present.

본 연구에서는 남한과 북한의 자료를 통합하여 한반도 단위로 식량과 에너지 자원 소비량 추이를 살펴보았고, 여러 Case를 생성하여 통합 이후 한반도의 식량과 에너지 자원 소비량을 예측하고 자원 관리 방향을 제시하였다. 1990년대 이후 북한의 일인당 식량 공급량, 열량 공급량, 단백질 공급량은 모두 남한, 동아시아, 세계보다 낮으며, 동물성 식품군 공급 비중도 남한, 동아시아, 세계보다 매우 낮은 상황이다. 통합 이후 북한이 2011년 남한 수준으로 식량을 소비한다면, 2055년까지의 예상 통합 인구가 최대일 때 통합 한반도의 식량 소비량은 2011년 통합 소비량에 비해 약 25% 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 사전에 통합 이후 안정적인 식량 공급과 환경 영향 최소화를 위해 소비를 줄이고 농업 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 방안을 마련해야 한다. 북한의 에너지 소비량은 남한에 비해 매우 적으며, 지난 15년간 석탄 사용 구성비가 매우 높았다. 북한의 일인당 에너지 소비량이 2011년 남한 수준으로 증가하면, 통합 한반도의 에너지 소비량은 남한에서의 증가분을 제외하더라도 2011년 통합 한반도의 에너지 소비량에 비해 약 45% 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 에너지 소비에 의한 환경 영향을 최소화하기 위해 북한의 석탄 구성비를 줄여나가는 방향의 에너지 계획을 수립하고 에너지 설비 확충에 선진 기술 적용하는 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.

As a result of very limited access due to the military confrontation between South and North Koreas for the last five decades, ecosystems in the transboundary coastal area in the western part of Korean Peninsula have been protected from intensive developments in both Koreas. In the core of the recent two military collisions lies the fishery resources represented as blue crabs as well as the politico-military aspect. Increasing development pressures from both sides as reflected in the South Korea supporting the construction of an industrial complex in Kaesung, North Korea, is the main factor which threatens the sustainable resource base in this region. This research is aimed to develop a cooperative management system for the well-preserved transboundary coastal area between South Korea and North Korea. The Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework of OECD was used to assess environmental conditions, socioeconomic pressures on the environment of the region, and policy responses of both Koreas to those pressures. Protection of ecosystems, peace settlement, and prosperity of the region and the entire peninsula were proposed as the management goals of the cooperative management system. The designation of the area as a Co-managed Marine Protected Area System (COMPAS) through close cooperation among South Korea, North Korea, and international entities was suggested as a way to achieve those goals. Revision of legal and institutional mechanisms, strengthening knowledge base for optimal COMPAS management, integration of the marine protected area and DMZ (demilitarized zone) ecosystem, enhancing stakeholder participation, building international partnership, and securing financial resources were presented as six management strategies.

남 북한 천연기념물에 대해 조사 및 보고된 문헌을 토대로 지질분야 천연기념물 현황을 비교하였다. 비교 분석된 항목들은 남한은 암석, 천연동굴, 화석, 일반지질의 4가지 그리고 북한은 암석, 화석, 지층, 약수, 온천, 지형, 폭포, 호수, 천연동굴, 담소의 10가지이다. 남한에서는 북한과는 달리 지질분야 천연기념물이 상대적으로 적게 지정 보호되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 북한에서는 남한과는 다르게 지층의 구조(습곡, 단층) 및 산업자원을 채굴하는 광산의 대표적인 노두를 천연기념물로 지정 보호하고 있는데, 이 유형들은 우리나라에서 일어난 지구조운동의 방향과 크기, 시기 및 형성요인 등을 밝혀주므로 천연기념물로 지정할 가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 남한에서 지질분야 천연기념물 지정건수의 연도별 변화를 보면 크게 3시기로 구분되며, 각 시기의 평균지정건수는 1.1건, 0.1건, 2.6건으로 변하였다. 지질분야 천연기념물 지정건수가 가장 많은 지역은 남한은 제주도로 그리고 북한은 강원도로 나타났으며, 산업화와 도시화가 상대적으로 덜 발달된 지역의 천연기념물이 더 잘 보존된 것으로 여겨진다.
