Since the inauguration of the Kim Jong-un regime in 2012, the safeguarding and management system of cultural heritage in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been changing to a form similar to that of a democratic country's legal system. In addition, the National Authority for the Protection of Cultural Heritage (NAPCH) has continuously recorded and cataloged intangible cultural heritage elements in the DPRK, listing Arirang, kimchi-making, and ssireum on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative List. In particular, the multinational nomination of ssireum in October 2018 is symbolic in terms of inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation for peace and reconciliation, raising expectations for the further multinational nomination of the two Koreas' intangible cultural heritage. Currently, South Korea lists 20 items on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, three of which are shared by various countries with multinational nominations such as falconry, tug-of-war, and ssireum. However, when comparing the process of applying for multinational nomination in the three elements that follow, it is necessary to discuss whether these cases reflect the nature of multinational nomination. In particular, in the case of ssireum, without a working-level consultation between the two Koreas to prepare an application for a multinational nomination, each applied for a single registration; these applications were approved exceptionally as a multinational nomination by the Intergovernmental Committee under the leadership of the Secretary-General of UNESCO, and no bilateral exchanges have taken place until now. This is symbolic, formal, and substantially similar to the individual listings in terms of the spirit of co-listing on the premise of mutual exchange and cooperation. Therefore, the only way to strengthen the effectiveness of the multinational nomination between the two Koreas and to guarantee the spirit of multinational nomination is to request multilateral co-registration, including the two Koreas. For this, the Korean government needs a strategic approach, such as finding elements for multilateral co-listing; accumulating expertise, capabilities, and experience as a leading country in multilateral co-listing; and building cooperative governance with stakeholders. Besides, to reduce the volatility of inter-Korean cultural exchanges and cooperation depending on political situations and the special nature of inter-Korean relations, measures should be taken toward achieving inter-Korean cultural heritage exchanges and cooperation under a multilateral cooperation system using UNESCO, an international organization.

The purpose of this paper is "A Study on the Establishment of Distribution and Logistics System in the unified Korea". The main conclusion of this paper are as follows : North and South Korea shall conjunctionally foster the exchange and cooperation area and operate the joint pilot project to combine distribution and logistics system. To solve the problems of the maritime affairs, Fisheries, and international logistics, the cooperative agreement between North and South Korea will be needed to protect and develop of shipping, aviation and shipbuilding industry. Unification of two Koreas must be prepared as stage by stage ; ${\cdot}$Stage1(preparation period) : initiation of peace area. ${\cdot}$Stage2(development period) : forming the exchange and cooperation area ${\cdot}$Stage3(settlement period) : establishing peace belt on border area. After the unification, two Koreas must plan and undertake the construction of the distribution and logistics infrastructures, establishment of SCM system through Network and the connection to China through railway and road Network.

남북한의 경제협력은 한반도 통합과정과 통일 한반도에 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 지니게 될 것이다. 남북한 통합이 아직 속단할 단계는 아니므로 중장기적 전망이 타당하겠지만 러시아의 시베리아지역은 아ㆍ태지역과 유럽(중동과 서남아시아와 중앙아시아 포함)을 이어주는 교량의 위치에 놓여 있는 중요한 지역이므로 이지역을 둘러싼 국제적인 경쟁과 다양한 형태의 국가간 및 지역간 협력의 시대가 불원간에 도래할 것임을 전망할 수 있다.(중략)

전통천문학은 우리 역사에 남아 있는 대표적 과학자산이며 현대 천문학적 자료로 활용이 가능한 문화유산이다. 우리나라에는 역사시대 이전부터 조선시대까지 고대 별자리 그림을 비롯해 천문관측기록과 천문대 등 다양한 천문자산이 전해지고 있다. 오랜 시간 여러 전란과 일제 강점시기를 거치며 많은 자료가 소실되었지만 한반도의 남과북에는 여전히 많이 천문유산이 남아 있다. 천문역사를 공유하고 있는 남북한 천문학자들이 전통천문학을 함께 연구해야 하는 이유이기도 하다. 현재 남북한의 전통천문학분야 협력 방안에 대한 기획연구를 진행 중이다. 북한 천문학자들은 지난 2012년 IAU GA를 기점으로 다시 국제 학술 활동을 이어가고 있으며 2015년 IAU GA에서는 전통천문 분야를 비롯해 두 편의 연구 결과를 발표하였다. 남북한 공동 연구를 위해서는 북한의 전통천문학 연구와 국제 학술교류 현황에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 한다. 본 발표에서는 지금까지 조사한 북한의 전통천문 연구 현황과 대외 학술교류 현황에 대해 보고하고 향후 남북한 공동연구를 위한 방법과 연구 주제에 대해서 발표하고자 한다.

남북 경제협력을 비롯한 제반 기술 교류는 북한의 과학기술중시정책에 의해 양적, 질적으로 성장하였다. 이에 따라 남북 기술협력을 보다 객관화하고 협력안을 도출하기 위해서는 북한에서 발표되는 학술자료를 비롯한 정확한 데이터를 활용해서 분석되어야 할 것이다. 본고에서는 북한과학기술 동향을 과학적으로 분석하기 위해서 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)이 북한과학기술네트워크(NK테크) 등을 통해서 확보한 자료를 기반으로 KISTI 고유의 정보분석시스템 KITAS를 활용해 북한의 과학기술문헌의 계량화를 시도해 보았다.

This study explores "4.27 Panmunjom Declaration" and "9.19 Pyongyang Declaration" for the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula in terms of inter-Korean exchanges and scrutinizes the Declarations in conjunction with the New Economic Initiative of the Korean Peninsula. The leadership of President Moon Jae-in pursues the value of the "peaceful and prosperous Korean Peninsula" of which pre-requisite and requirement are exchanges and cooperation between South and North Koreas. The New Economic Initiative of the Korea Peninsula for economic prosperity proposed in the inter-Korean summit premises complete denuclearization in the Peninsula. It is accentuated that the Initiative provides a new tonic impetus to the Korean economy in recession, and simultaneously, shapes a necessary foundation for the economic development of North Korea. The Initiative with connotation of the two Korea's mutual opulence aims at proceeding to a new Korean Peninsular system. The new system implies the new peace-cooperative community where confrontation and discord are ceased, and the new economic-cooperative one where the age of ideological rivalry comes to an end. The two Koreas have to lead the new age of peaceful and prosperous Northeast Asia as a buffer zone of peace.

This study aims to construct an ecological community and lay the foundation for sustainable development in the Korean Peninsula by promoting cooperation between the South and North Korea in the non-political and no-military natural environment sector under the rapidly changing inter-Korean relations. It analyzed South Korea's aid and international cooperation projects in natural environmental sectors in North Korea and examined North Korea's national plan and the cooperation projects that North Korea proposed to the international community to identify potential cooperation projects. It selected 15 potential cooperation projects and 6 crucial factors to be considered in prioritizing the projects through case studies and the first expert survey (five persons). The six crucial factors were i) urgency, ⅱ) linkage between North and South Korea (ecological community in the Korean Peninsula), ⅲ) contribution to sustainable development (prosperity), i) North Korea's acceptability, ⅴ) cooperation conditions and budget, and ⅵ) project sustainability. The second expert survey (14 persons) focused on prioritizing the 15 potential inter-Korean cooperation projects in line with six crucial factors. The 15 potential inter-Korean cooperation projects in the natural environment were comprehensively reviewed and scored based on the six crucial factors. The resulting priority projects were identified as follow: i) Mt. Seorak - Mt. Keumgang International Peace Park, ⅱ) support and cooperation for agro-forestry, ⅲ) joint conservation projects for internationally important migratory birds (such as Black-faced Spoonbills and Cranes), iv) inter-Korean ecotourism linkage and promotion, and ⅴ) establishment of integrated information system on leading ecosystems and biodiversity in the Korean Peninsula. The priority cooperation projects presented in this study are based on the perception of experts engaged in inter-Korean natural environmental cooperation in consideration of existing cooperation cases and conditions. For the actual implementation of these potential projects, a systematic approach, including the formation of consensus between North and South Koreas and the creation of a cooperative network with suitable partners suitable for each project's characteristics, would be needed.
