이 논문은 한국 사회가 처한 경제위기를 도시위기로 이해하고, 이러한 도시 위기의 발생 과정과 주요 상황들을 고찰하는 한편, 이 위기로부터 벗어나기 위한 대안을 모색하고자 한다. 한국의 자본주의 경제발전(또는 자본축적)은 기본적으로 건조환경 부문에의 투자 확대를 통해 추동되어 왔다. 이러한 자본 축적과정에서 발생한 과잉축적의 위기와 해외 금융자본의 외적 영향으로 발생하는 위기들(1997년 IMF 위기와 2008년 금융위기)의 결합으로, 정부 및 기업 부문에 잉여자본이 누적되는 한편, 정부, 기업 및 가계의 부채가 급속히 증가하는 결과가 초래되고 있다. 특히 가계의 부채 위기는 주택 및 부동산시장을 활성화하기 위한 국가 정책 및 주택의 공급과 수요를 촉진하기 위한 의제적 자본의 작동에 기인하는 것으로 이해된다. 이러한 잉여자본의 누적과 부채위기의 심화를 통해 전개되는 도시 위기를 해결하기 위한 다양한 방법들, 즉 실질임금의 인상, 건조환경에의 투자 완화, 기술 및 복지 분야 투자 확대 등이 모색될 수 있지만, 국가와 자본에 이를 요구하기 위한 운동 없이는 실현되기 어렵다. 최근 도시에 대한 권리에 바탕을 둔 도시운동은 국가에게 이러한 정책을 시행하도록 요구하는 한편, 도시의 잉여를 생산했지만 부채 위기로 인해 고통 받는 도시인들의 이해관계를 실현시키기 위한 운동이라고 결론지을 수 있다.

Purpose - This study reviews Cameroon's economic growth, crisis, and recovery, aiming to: review the principal factors of Cameroon's real economic growth; explore the causes of its economic crisis analyze the determinants of its economic recovery; and suggest appropriate policies to ameliorate economic growth. Research design, data, and methodology - By reviewing the relevant literature and economic indicators, we observed that from the 1980s to the present, Cameroon experienced all the possible business cycle phases: economic prosperity (until 1985), economic and social crisis (1986-1994), and renewed economic growth (after 1995). Results - As a result of the economic changes in Cameroon, its macroeconomic indicators have evolved. Poverty and inequality have changed in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Throughout the examined period, rural poverty has become more widespread, deeper, and more severe than urban poverty, while inequality has experienced greater increases in urban areas relative to rural zones. Conclusions -To reap maximum benefits and reduce poverty from these economic changes, Cameroon needs to liberalize trade and foreign exchange transactions to attract foreign investment, especially during the current globalization.

It is undeniable that urban greenspace is the soul of a city. Conventional urban greenspace such as parks, community gardens, playgrounds etc. located within a city reduce the negative effects of pollution, play a major role in the survival of the urban ecosystem, and promote healthy lifestyles. Today, 55% of the world's population lives in urban areas, which is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Projections show that urbanization and the gradual migration to urban areas combined with the fast growth of the world's population, could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050 and almost 90% of this increase will take place in Asia(UN, 2018). As a result, many plots in the cities are and will continue to be occupied with buildings to provide residential support to the increased population. This will dangerously decrease urban greenspaces. Moreover, worldwide, food crisis, energy crisis, and social crisis is posing a great threat to the existence of mankind. Additionally, the COVID - 19 has introduced a new lifestyle where from work culture to community configuration has drastically transformed. In this scenario, residential buildings will have to serve more than just providing privacy and shelter. As urban greenspaces are being occupied by concrete residential buildings, these buildings will have to compensate for the percentage of urban green they are destroying and the issues they are imposing in the process. The goal of this thesis is to design, architecturally define and, categorize comprehensive 'sustainable Greenspace'(S.G.S) for the multi-family housing scenario. These will be different than the conventional green (veranda, rooftop green) we commonly see in residential buildings. An old, dilapidated apartment building will be the target of remodeling to fulfill the purpose of this thesis.

Korea has experienced a remarkable economic achievement since the 1960s. However, behind this facade of growth and progress, a chronic housing shortage in the capital region, declining owner-occupation, rising housing costs, and polarization in housing conditions between the better-off and the worse-off clearly illustrate the impasse and crisis in housing that Korea now faces. In addition, the IMF crisis and the late global financial crisis shocked the Korean housing market. The Korean government has made significant policy changes to improve housing security for less-privileged groups. In order to achieve housing policy development, the Korean government has tried to employ of advanced countries. What are the benefits(merits) and dangers(demerits) of housing policy transfer between countries? This paper emphasizes that we must recognize about 'differences' rather than 'commonalities' between countries with respect to policy transfer. It also maintains that the government should play a main role as an enabler rather as a provider of 'low-cost' housing.

Income inequality in Korea has increased after the economic crisis, and the main reason for the widening of income distribution is due to the increase of the unemployed when analyzed using the Urban Household Report(UHR). However, income inequality has not decreased although the rate of unemployment decreased after 2000. Further data bases for income-related statistics are necessary to examine the exact causes of changing income inequality as a whole since the UHR covers only statistics on urban employees' wage and salary in Korea.

Under the premise of unbalanced development between urban and rural areas, this study raised criticism that the balanced national development policies in South Korea, which had been promoted in earnest after 'the Participatory Government' has adversely deepened the development gap between urban and rural areas by promoting the development of urban. In the meantime, the agricultural economy that supported the rural economy has gradually collapsed after reckless market opening, and due to the balanced national development policy focusing on urban infrastructure construction, rural areas are facing a crisis of 'depopulation' and 'regional extinction.' For this reason, many local governments have recently recognized the public values of agriculture and have introduced 'agrarian basic income' for the sustainability of agriculture. However, there is a limit to overcoming the crisis in rural areas because the population of farmers among rural residents is only 25%. Therefore, this study proposes the necessity of introducing the basic income for rural residents as a new paradigm for balanced development between urban and rural areas beyond the existing policy limits, based on surveys of opinions of residents living in Chungchengnam-do, South Korea and experts on the introduction of 'basic income for rural residents' in the future.

The paper chooses the "Asian Financial Crisis" as a case study to examine its impact on Malaysian economy and describes how Malaysian government responded to the crisis. It also focuses on the Asian financial crisis' impact on the employment of banking sector in Malaysia. In the finance, insurance, real estate and business service sector, a number of 6,596 workers were retrenched. Banks were forced into mergers and acquisition as well as downsizing, trim lean, organizational changes and introduction of new technologies. Excess workers were offered a "voluntary separation scheme." These retrenched workers became the urban poor facing high cost of living and no opportunity for jobs as there is no safety net provided.

IMF 위기로 위축되었던 도시 주택시장은 당시 정부의 경기부양 정책과 더불어 대규모 도시개발 및 부동산 관련금융의 팽창으로 활성화되면서 주택가격의 폭등으로 이어졌고, 지난 정부의 부동산 규제 강화 정책에 의해 겉으로 어느 정도 안정되었다. 그러나 주택시장에 내재된 문제점들과 2008년 중반 이후 국제금융위기의 영향으로, 한국 특히 서울을 중심으로 수도권의 주택시장은 금융위기 및 실물경제 위기와 맞물려 붕괴될 우려를 자아내게 되었고, 현 정부는 이에 대한 강력한 규제완화 정책을 펴고 있다. 이와 같은 도시 주택시장의 역동성은 기본적으로 자본축적을 위한 지속적인 대규모 도시(재)개발, 주거지분화와 독점적 자산이득(즉 독점지대)의 전유, 그리고 부동산의 금융자본화 및 부동산 시장과 금융시장의 결합에 기인한다. 이러한 상황에서 현재 도시 주택가격이 완만한 하향세를 보이고 있지만, 이로 인한 국내 금융위기 발생의 우려를 명분으로 현 정부는 각종 탈규제정책을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 탈규제정책들은 오히려 부동산 투기와 주택가격의 폭등을 초래할 가능성을 가진다. 따라서 현재와 같은 완만한 가격하락은 부동산 시장, 나아가 사회경제 전반에 긍정적인 효과를 가져 올 것임을 전제로, 대안적 정책이 수립되어야 할 것이다.

독일 북서부에 위치한 루르지역은 1850년대부터 석탄이 채굴되면서 석탄광업과 제철공업을 중심으로 유럽 최대의 공업지역으로 발전하였다. 그러나 1950년대에 접어들면서 에너지원으로써 유류(Oil)에 비해 석탄의 가격과 품질 경쟁력이 떨어졌고 개발도상국의 부상에 따라 이 지역의 석탄광업과 제철공업이 쇠퇴하기 시작하였다. 1970년대 부터 석탄광구와 제철공장이 하나씩 폐쇄되기 시작하여 도심에 조성된 많은 공업용지가 유휴화 되었고 실업자도 크게 늘어 심각한 경제위기에 직면하였다. 루르지역의 전형적인 공업도시라 할 수 있는 오버하우젠(Oberhausen)시는 이러한 문제에 당면하여 대규모 제철공장부지를 정화하여 거대한 쇼핑몰과 여가산업지구를 조성하였고, 겔젠키르헨(Gelsenkirhen)시는 석탄광업지구를 정화하여 태양광 산업을 중심으로 신재생에너지 산업단지와 친환경 주택단지를 조성하였다. 본 연구는 경로의존론(Path Dependence Theory)에 입각하여 이 두 도시가 추진한 도시재생정책의 집행과정과 결과를 분석하고, 이론적, 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the lived experience of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and early child rearing in married immigrant women in urban areas. Methods: Data were collected from February to April, 2011 through in-depth interviews. Nine immigrant women were selected in a metropolitan area through the purposive and snowball sampling method. After obtaining IRB permission and informed consent from the participants, all interviews were recorded with MP3 recorder and transcribed for analysis. Using the phenomenological approach, data collected through in-depth interviewing were analyzed following Colaizzi style. Results: Data analysis revealed 4 categories and 10 themes related to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and early child rearing of married immigrant women in urban areas. These four categories were 'A clumsy foreigner's life with nostalgia', 'Crisis in the crisis', 'Unprepared for motherhood', and 'Living together with new family without regrets'. It was a common finding that they were not ready to be mothers because of the very short time for adjustment in Korea. Compared to rural, immigrant women urban women had various in social support systems. Conclusion: The results indicate that adequate education is needed for immigrant women regarding motherhood, and that this education should be culturally appropriate for these women.
