In 2002, the 5-day workweek policy was effective in Korea. As we have expected, the 5-day workweek policy has changed people's travel behavior during weekdays and weekends. Several studies have been done to understand these changes and impacts on transportation systems. However, these studies have only focused on travel pattern changes without considering spatial factors. Said in another way, although individual travel pattern changes are usually investigated, indices adopted cannot describe travel pattern changes in a proper way due to lack of the spatial distribution measure. This study aims to analyze travel change since the 5-day work week policy in effect using a new index (i.e. Travel Vector Index) developed in this study, which can explain travel pattern changes in terms of magnitude and spatial point of views. The new index uses a GIS technology and TCS (Toll Collection System) databases in Korea. The results in this study show that the index is very useful and reliable to measure the travel patterns changes. They are applied to TCS data set and the results show that the 5-day workweek policy significantly affects on travel behaviors.

This paper aims to describe the rapid growth of the one-person households in terms of the socio-economic demographic perspectives during the period of 1995-2005 and to analyze the spatial distribution patterns based on different characteristics of one-person households. The increase in the divorce ratio in the middle-aged, the growth of unmarried people the young generation, and the increase of life expectancy in the old generation are explanatory factors for the rise and diversification of one-person households in Korea. The rapid increase of one-person households is accompanied by a diversification in their age, gender, marital status, education level. Uneven distribution of one-person households depends on their age, level of education and dwelling type. Highly educated young adults residing in their own apartment are generally concentrated in major cities, whereas senior citizen with their own single house who lives alone are mostly in rural area. One-person households of the highly educated young adults are significantly polarized in the light of their the living standards. In particular, metropolitan area or big cities are mixed with those who have their own apartment and are financially capacity and with those who rent in a detached single house. As such, one-person households have considerably heterogeneous characteristics. Therefore, each local government will face different economic and social problems based on which group of one-person households are increasing and where they are concentrated in. To this extent, the local government should have differentiated welfare policy according to its own respect.

Migratory insect pest populations migrate from the southern China to Korea through jet streams. In Korea, 5 major migratory insect species are important, i.e. Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella furcifera, Laodelphax striatellus, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and Mythimma separate, which are damages to the major crops, rice. This study was conducted from late July 2016 to early September 2016 and from July 2017 to August 2017 in rice paddy of Jeolla-province. C. medinalis and M. separata collected using pheromone traps, while N. lugens, S. furcifera and L. striatellus collected using 3 methods (visual surveys, sweeping surveys, sticky traps). SADIE (Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs) among geostatistics was used to analyze migratory insect pests. SADIE was used to analyze spatial distribution and index of aggregation $I_a$, index of clustering $V_i$, $V_j$ were used to investigate the spatial distribution. Also, the clustering indices were mapped as red-blue plot. C. medinalis and M. separata showed different distribution based on SADIE spatial aggregation analysis and red-blue plot analysis. Initial spatial distributions of L. striatellus and other planthoppers were differed for sampling location and time.

This study has attempted to analyze the spatial structure of industrial agglomerations with elaborated spatial econometric techniques. First of all, spatial patterns and structures of industrial agglomerations in Korea show a multi-polar spatial pattern of industrial agglomeration, Major industries from industrial agglomerations in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, part of the Chungcheong Area and Dongnam Area. Second, as some industrial agglomerations show an agglomerative pattern beyond a regionally based-administrative jurisdiction, the effects of agglomeration seem to be produced across regionally based-administrative jurisdictions. Finally, it can be considered that industrial agglomerations have generally been produced by spatial divisions of labor in which the functions of conception and execution are separated from each other. According to this results, in designing regional innovation systems, their spatial coverage should draw upon an extended region with a few adjacent provinces, and there is a need to form networked clusters in order to sufficiently capitalize upon the spatial spillovers of agglomerations.

This study investigates the time-space characteristics of the road traffic flows in Seoul and the relationship with land use patterns. For the purpose, we analyze the road traffic data collected at 118 observation sites over Seoul City area since 1993. We examine the time-trend of the annual average traffic flows per day during the last fourteen years. Three different trends are revealed: rapid increase during the time period between 1993 and 1997, maintenance same level after sharp decrease between year 1997 and 1998, and gradual decrease after sharp decrease between year 2003 and 2004. The spatial distribution patterns of road traffic flows have also been changed significantly during the period. The traffic flows in the urban center have been declined gradually, while the traffic flows in the boundary area and southern CBDs have increased dramatically. In order to examine the relationship with the changes in the land-use patterns and road traffic flows, we analyze the changes in the spatial distribution patterns of population and industries. We developed three multiple linear regression models to test the relationships between the changes in the land-use variables and road traffic flows.

This study attempts to analyze the spatial characteristics of organic agriculture in Korea during the period of 2000~2010, focusing on women's labor contribution to agricultural operations. Spatial distribution and concentration of organic farming have been investigated using Location Quotient(LQ) and Local Indicator of Spatial Association(LISA), it was found that the specialized organic farmland in the Seoul Metropolitan area has decreased significantly over the past decade, while in Chungnam and Kyungpook province it has been rapid growth in the same period. Multilinear regression analysis was also carried out to find out whether the spatial clusters in organic farming depends on women farmers. Results describing the correlation between organic farming and women farmers within identified clusters suggest that the possibility of the transition towards sustainable agriculture and farmland restructuring in Korea, by women.

This paper attempts to analyze the geographical characters of Twitter data and presents analysis potentials for social network analysis in geography. First, this paper suggests a methodology for a topic modeling-based approach in order to identify the geographical characteristics of tweets, including an analysis flow of Twitter data sets, tweet data collection and conversion, textural pre-processing and structural analysis, topic discovery, and interpretation of tweets' topics. GPS coordinates referencing tweets(geotweets) were extracted among sampled Twitter data sets because it contains the tweet place where it was created. This paper identifies a correlated relationship between some specific topics and local places in Jeju. This correlation is closely associated with some place names and local sites in Jeju Island. We assume it is the intention of tweeters to record their tweet places and to share and retweet with other tweeters in some cases. A surface density map shows the hotspots of tweets, detecting around some specific places and sites such as Jeju airport, sightseeing sites, and local places in Jeju Island. The hotspots show similar patterns of the floating population of Jeju, especially the thirty-year age group. In addition, a topic modeling algorithm is applied for the geographical topic discovery and comparison of the spatial patterns of tweets. Finally, this empirical analysis presents that Twitter data, as social network data, provide geographical significance, with topic modeling approach being useful in analyzing the textural features reflecting the geographical characteristics in large data sets of tweets.

하천의 합류부는 지류와 본류가 만나 수리 및 수질 특성이 변화하는 구간으로 매우 중요한 지점이다. 따라서, 최근에는 ADCP와 같은 측정장비를 활용하여 실제하천을 대상으로 합류부의 수리학적 혼합거동을 분석하는 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구들은 대부분 중소하천 규모의 합류부를 대상으로 연구가 수행되었고, 유속이 존재하는 하천을 대상으로 연구가 수행되었다. 그리고 기존의 연구들은 대부분 수리특성을 활용하여 합류부의 지형학적 특성을 함께 고려한 연구가 대부분 수행되어 합류부의 수질적인 혼합거동을 분석한 사례는 매우 드물다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강과 황강합류부에서 ADCP와 YSI를 활용하여 본류의 유량이 지류에 비해 매우 크고 저유속인 대하천에 유입되는 지류를 대상으로 수리·수질 특성을 기반으로 혼합 패턴을 분석하였다. 수리특성 분석을 위해 ADCP를 활용하여 수심평균유속분포, 2차류를 분석하였고, 수질특성을 분석하기 위해 YSI의 전기전도도(EC)를 수질인자로 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 거동을 분석하였다. YSI 장비는 보트에 장착하여 단면 혹은 수심방향으로 이동식으로 적용하였고, 공간위치는 동시에 운용된 ADCP의 GPS자료와 연동하였다. 분석결과, 기존의 ADCP의 유속측정 결과로는 본 연구대상과 같은 저유속 대하천에서 공간적 혼합 거동을 포착하는데 한계가 나타났다. 반면에, 수질인자(EC)를 연계하여 합류부 수질의 공간분포를 나타낼 경우 본 대상인 황강-낙동강 합류부와 같은 평수기 저유속 대하천의 혼합거동을 포착 및 분석할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 대하천의 저유속인 합류부의 혼합 거동 분석은 유속분포와 같은 수리특성과 함께 수질인자(EC)를 연계한 분석을 통할 경우 혼합 거동의 분석이 용이해짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

보안등은 주택가 골목에 안전을 위해 설치하는 중요한 설비로서, 도로 폭이 12m 이하인 장소에 설치된다. 그러내 통행 인구가 없어도 야간시간 내내 점등되고 있기에 낭비되는 전력량이 상당하다. 적외선센서가 부착된 보안등을 교체하게 되면 보행자의 움직임을 통해 일정시간 점등이 되고 이동체가 없을 때는 소등이 되어 전기에너지의 소비를 상당히 줄일 수가 있어 온실가스저감에 기여할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 적외선센서 보안등의 최적 작동시간을 추적하기 위해 보행자의 통행 분포를 알아보고자 연구지역인 경북대 캠퍼스 내에서 사계절 중 여름철 야간 보행자의 통행패턴을 현장조사하여 분석하였다. 이를 통해 시간별, 공간별 분포 특성을 파악하고 도식화하여 보행자의 통행분포 특성을 파악함으로써 보안등의 작동시간 추적이 가능하였다.

In the last decade, there has been a widespread interest in knowledge production activities as a new engine of endogeneous growth. In the knowledge-based economy, there has been a growing importance of the patent as the index of knowledge production. Much literature suggests that knowledge production activities tend to be spatially concentrated and formed the clusters in the advanced economies. The purpose of this paper is to analyze spatial-temporal patterns of knowledge production activities in Korea based on a data set of patents from 1981-2000. This paper uses spatial statistical methods and GIS to explore the spatial dimensions of knowledge production activities in Korea. Through this research, it was found that knowledge production activities were unevenly distributed. The knowledge production activity measured by patent counts is highly concentrated in a limited number of cities. The top 10 cities accounted for 68.5% of the total number of patents in the period of 1981-2000, suggesting the existence of a strong concentration of knowledge production activities in Korea. The locations of knowledge production activities by themselves represented a strong spatial autocorrelation. The concentration of knowledge production activities in Korea is spatially correlated to the concentration of adjacent neighboring cities. The location of knowledge production activities is not free from a spatial context and spillover of knowledge production activities are heavily bounded within geographic limits, forming a spatial cluster. There appear some quite a large spatial cluster around the seoul metropolitan area.
