Solar salt is obtained in the sea after sunray and wind evaporate moisture and crystallize sea water. The natural salt produced in Korea is recognized as one of the most important foods in that it especially contains high percentage of minerals. In addition, the content of kalium and magnesium in the natural salt of Korea is approximately three times more than those in the imported ones. This study is to analyze the ripple effect of the natural salt production in this area on the national economy using input-output analysis. As a result of the analysis, Solar salt industry is estimated to have involved 116.1 billion won worth of production in Korea, which is assessed by the production amount of 79.1 billion won in 2005, with 1.467333 won of 1 won/per production and value added inducement coefficients appeared. It also appears to have made 72.9 billion won worth of the economic loss in the area in the event of discontinuing the natural salt production. When 1 billion worth of production is further made, it is estimated to bring out working effects of 35.63 persons as well as employment effects of 13.00 persons. Moreover, the input-output analysis result of the forward linkage effect is 0.524120 and its backward linkage effect is 0.767875, which means the natural salt industry is rather less influenced by any possible economic fluctuation due to its high backward linkage effect. Therefore, the government is required to recognize the huge effect on production and value added of the national economy of natural salt industry and further policies should be devised to support the industry as a stable and sustainable infrastructure industry.

Small and medium-sized cities charge an important role in provincial areas which help to strengthen the competitiveness. In spite of efforts to keeping the balance between Seoul Metropolitan Area(SMA) and provinces, there has not yet been any significant effects. Because, there are lots of problems such as insufficient consideration of local conditions, uniform contents of projects and complaints of regions. Therefore, improvement of current systems is significant object to vitalize small and medium-sized cities. This study focused on the comparison of the small and medium-sized cities located in SMA and provinces. And we classified those cities through cluster analysis and drew up a plan for improvement of current system. The findings from analyses were as follows : First, the unbalance between SMA and provinces were getting worse in the demographic and financial aspects. Especially, the provincial small and medium-sized cities which have population less than 300,000 were faced with serious decrease of the population and an aging society. Second, cluster analysis of those cities revealed that most of small and medium-sized cities were fallen into such groups with shortage of the infrastructure, low economic self-sufficiency and weak infrastructure to growth. Finally, regional development policies include dissatisfaction to solve the fundamental problem of small and medium-sized cities due to the lack of linkage between policies decentralized public investment, and so on. The findings in this study suggests the need for integration of regional development policies and improvement of the current support system to vitalize small and medium-sized cities.

The objectives of this study were to compare multicultural society of urban areas and rural areas in Korea. USA immigration law permits permanent settlement but Korea immigration law prohibits permanent settlement. USA adopted the territorial principle but Korea adopted the personal(nationality) principle. So a large number of people immigrated and settled in USA and mass(collective) immigrants is usual in USA. But temporary immigration and individual immigrants is usual in Korea. And there are great differences between urban and rural areas in multicultural society in Korea. Temporary residence laborers and temporary residents are main cause of multicultural society in urban areas of Korea. But international marriage women immigrants are main cause of multicultural society in rural areas of Korea. So it is necessary to differentiate multicultural society policy according to areas and residents.

This article explores the performance and success factors of regional innovation in Austin to (1) identify the way in which regional innovation projects were operated and managed, (2) analyze impacts of the regional innovation projects on the urban growth process, (3) find the success factors of the Austin regional innovation, and (4) guide more effective regional innovation policy and strategy for korea. This research reveals that Austin had attracted two innovative regional innovation projects, and these have immensely impacted on regional innovation process and urban economic development. Accordingly, Austin has changed from branch plant platform to advanced manufacturing center, and from the advanced manufacturing center to innovation center. During this period, per capita income, the amount of venture capital investment, the number of patents had been much improved. The major success factor of Austin urban development is that each subjects played their own role and local community linked their activities systematically very well after they had attracted the regional innovation projects. Finally, alternative regional innovation strategies in Korea are discussed as being key to guide more effective regional innovation strategy and accelerate urban economic development in korea.

Since the Asian financial crisis, the advance of real estate development financing, such as the introduction of asset-securitization and fund investment vehicle, has provided the benign environment where financial investors can actively participate. Despite this development, construction companies still bear the final responsibility by providing payment guarantee for project finance loan of developers. The research of this paper shows that currently, the most critical factors of local real estate financing are payment guarantee by construction companies and collateral value. However, in the near future, it is anticipated that project profits, developers’ financial health, and business capability would be the most important part. This study also shows that financial investors are expected to play the most significant roles in the real estate development finance. But they are facing realistic problems such as their internal risk-averse attitude and external legal barriers caused by investment restrictions and asset soundness that should be met by them. Therefore, it is argued that the current practice of project finance should be changed so that financial investors participate in development projects based on project profits instead of depending on contractors’ guarantee.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the differences in apartment rent-price ratio in Seoul metropolitan area. Based on the apartment rent-price ratio data collected for the 5 different time periods between 1989 and 2006 and 5 sub-markets in Seoul, the study conducted regression analyses to identify the magnitudes and strengths of 10 determinants of the differences in apartment rent-price ratio. The results of the research indicate that the apartment rent-price ratio tended to be lower in the areas with high sales prices, and it was higher in the areas with lower sales prices. The differences in the apartment rent-price ratio were larger among periods than regional differences. The research also found that the major factors affecting the rent-price ratio were quality of educational environment, number of companies, total number of residence, width of park area, size of apartment space, and number of bathrooms. These findings indicate that the apartment rent-price ratio can be an indicator for diagnosing the real estate market conditions and be used for designing housing policy measures.

The request to compensate for planning loss caused by land use regulation has increased more and more over time. This study develops a simulation method to assess the feasibility of TDR(Transfer of Development Rights) introduction to greenbelt area. The regulation has been designated in very broad area and restrained the property rights for a long time so that it has caused many requests to compensate. The simulation model deals with the locational values as wells as development volume and density, which make the analysis close to the reality. The case study area is greenbelt area in Hwaseong City in which sending area and receiving area were picked out. The transferable and receivable development rights are produced through the simulation. As a result, the receivable development rights is about 1.5 times transferable development rights, so receiving area can receive the whole tranferable development rights from the sending area. More improved data on the whole of greenbelt would enable us to improve the feasibility analysis on TDR.

This dissertation is to suggest the best way for providing rental housing by judging governmental public rental housing. There are mainly two important policies about real estate these days. One is to provide much cheaper houses to settle down the housing price. The other is to increase the supply of rental housing so that the middle class has stability of residing. This study, therefore, investigates what causes there were in long-term rental housing and tries to suggest an efficient policy by means of comparing and analyzing five-year rental housing in the past. Studying preceding research and the examples of driving policies revealed some problems. Therefore, I suggest the ways for the policy which is intended for providing effective public rental housing in order for houseless people and the middle class to secure residing stability. They are as follows; The policy of public rental housing should be divided into two parts according to income levels. For example, public areas can play a role to supply ten-year rental housing while private ones take five-year.

본 연구에서는 국내 테마파크 방문자들의 인구통계학적 특징에 따른 테마파크의 수요를 분석 하였다. 본 연구에서는 테마파크의 수요예측을 위해 순위 자료 분석에 적합한 순서형 로짓 모형(Ordered Logit Model)을 사용하였다. 분석결과 테마파크 방문자가 주 5일 근무형태를 가질 경우 테마파크 방문을 결정하는데 긍정적인 영향을 끼쳤으며, 테마파크를 자주 방문할 경우 가까운 곳을 선호하였다. 방문자의 직업(소득)차이보다는 직업의 유무가 테마파크 방문에 영향을 끼쳤다. 이는 테마파크의 방문을 결정하는데 이용자간의 소득 격차보다 소득의 안정성이 더 중요하다는 것을 보여준다. 방문자의 연령변수를 살펴보면 나이가 어릴수록 자주 테마파크를 방문하겠다는 의견이 많은 것 을 알 수 있다. 이런 확률의 증가는 20대까지만 나타났으며, 30대 초반 이후로는 급격한 감소현상을 보였다. 테마파크의 방문 결정은 근무형태, 직장, 결혼, 자녀출산 등 이용자의 개인적 특징과 테마파크와 거주지의 접근성 정도에 의해 결정되었다.

이 논문은 고속도로가 기업체 입지에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 미국 미주리주의 카운티(counties)들을 대상으로 살펴보았다. 총산업, 제조업, 도소매업을 대상으로 고속도로가 기업입지의 공간적 분포에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 분석하였다. 기본모델은 공간계량모형중 공간에러모형(spatial error mode)이고, 기준연도는 1990년과 2000년으로 하였다. 공간에러모형에서 공간적 영향을 나타내는 공간자기회기계수(spatially‐autoregressive coefficient)인 람다(λ)가 모두 통계적으로 유의하고, 정(+)의 값을 나타냈다. 총산업, 제조업, 도소매업 모두에서 미주리 지역의 카운티에 기업이 입지하도록 하는데 고속도로 투자가 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 나타내는 값들이 통계적으로 모두 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 공간적으로 이웃해 있는 카운티들의 고속도로 투자는 통계적으로 유의하고 부(-)의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타나 경계를 접하고 있는 카운티가 고속도로를 개선하면 다른 이웃 카운티의 기업입지가 줄어들 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 집적경제측면에서는 총산업, 제조업, 도소매업에서 분야별 특화(sector specializations)는 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 값을 갖는 것으로 분석되어 해당지역의 경제의 규모가 클수록 기업을 끌어들이는데 유리함을 증명하고 있다. 그러나 결론적으로 미주리주의 고속도로에 대한 직접 투자가 새로운 기업이 입지하도록 하는데 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 하는 결론을 얻지는 못하였다.

도시의 녹도는 공간상에 선형적인 조경의 모습을 보여준다. 이러한 녹도는 도시의 중요한 환경․교통축으로서 녹도의 조성은 시민의 생활 질과 교통환경을 개선하고 환경에 대한 만족감을 증대시킨다. 광주시에서 녹도는 보행통행과 자전거의 이동성을 보장하는 녹색의 교통․문화축으로 인식되고 있다. 캐나다 토론토 등의 대도시에서 녹도는 지속가능한 도시개발과 환경친화적인 교통체계로서 중요한 역할을 수행하였다. 근년에 한국에서 녹도시설은 도시교통계획에서 생활환경의 질을 개선하기 위한 중요한 구성요소로 간주되고 있다. 그래서 지속가능한 저속의 교통수단을 수용하려는 녹도계획의 수립에 관심이 많다. 광주시의 도심지역 철도 폐선선로의 녹도조성사업은 그 대표적 사례가 되고 있다. 상기한 배경 하에, 연구의 목적은 한국 광주시와 캐나다 토론토시를 사례로 양 도시의 녹도계획수립의 특성을 비교․분석하고 광주시 녹도계획을 성공적으로 집행하기 위한 결정요인을 계획․정책적인 시각에서 규명하는 것이다. 중요한 논문내용은 녹도의 개념과 성공요소, 광주시 및 토론토시 녹도계획의 수립특성, 광주시 녹도계획 성공요인의 확인 등으로 구성되어 있다. 연구결과, 토론토시 녹도계획은 광범위한 지역을 연결하는 계획의 연계성, 자치단체간의 협력과 지역주민의 지지가 성공적인 녹도계획의 수립에 기여하였다. 광주시의 경우에 폐선부지의 녹도계획은 관련 시민단체의 조성활동, 기본계획서의 작성, 시민홍보, 행정기관 및 의회와의 협력 등에 의하여 성공적으로 시행되고 있다. 향후 본 연구를 토대로, 도시별 녹도계획의 평가요소와 방법을 개발하기 위한 분석적인 연구가 더욱 필요하다.
