As a consequence of the changed role and functions in port operations, the role of port hinterland has transformed to multi-functional logistic centre linking more efficiently elements of the supply chain. This paper analysed distribution centre selection factors in Busan new port hinterland, aiming to diagnose and evaluate the operational situations of port hinterland as multi-functional logistics centre. Based on a data collected from all 122 samples located in Busan new port hinterland, determinants for location competitiveness identified were: political support, market potentiality, infrastructure utilization, market niche, and connectivity. Comparing the difference between an importance and performance, it is revealed that the target port hinterland requires urgent improvement in political supports such as incentive programmes offered by host country, free trade system and related law, financial assistance in constructing distribution centers, and simplicity, ease and efficiency of administrative procedures. The results provide useful insights for establishing future improvement strategies and a strategic agenda to successfully respond to the demands of the companies located in port hinterlands and/or new customers those who want to move in.

As China's economic growth pole has shifted from the coastal area to the Midwest and the inland since the beginning of 2000, construction of China's inland ports was promoted in the coastal area. The inland port functions as offshore port, thereby streamlining import and export logistics and customs clearance and so on. The purpose of this study is to identify the competitiveness and potential of China's inland ports via functional and geographical classification, as well as SWOT-PEST analysis. According to the results of the study, inland ports can be functionally categorized as sea port-based, industrial-based, distribution-based and customs clearance-based. The majority of the sea port-based inland ports are located in the eastern part of China while industry-based and distribution-based inland ports are situated in the Midwest. On contrast, the inland ports in Northwest mainly perform the function of customs clearance to promote international trade with neighbouring countries. The inland ports in the eastern region have high competitiveness owing to a large volume of international trade in the region, whereas those in the Midwest have high potential. The 'One Belt to One Road' initiative proposed by the Xi's Government is expected to play a significant role in promoting the development of inland ports in the Midwest and border areas.

차나무(Camellia sinensis (L.) O.Kuntze)는 열대, 아열대, 온대지역에서 자라는 교목 또는 관목의 영년생 상록수이다. 차는 초기 약효에 의하여 이용하기 시작하였으나 현대에 이르러 그 독특한 풍미로 인하여 전 세계 인구의 절반 이상이 음용하는 중요한 기호음료이다. 강우량이 많고 따듯한 곳에서 생육이 왕성한 차나무는 현재 한국, 중국, 일본, 동남아시아의 온난지역, 남아메리카, 아프리카 및 러시아 등지에 이르는 넓은 지역에 분포하고 있다. 2,000년의 역사를 가지는 한국의 차산업은 주로 경남과 전남, 전북, 제주 등지에서 재배 생산되고 있다. 1970년대 이후 생활수준의 향상과 함께 점차적으로 수요가 늘어나면서 생산량은 1970년 55톤에서 1993년 617톤, 2010년 3,586톤으로 약 65배 이상 증가하였다. 차산업은 찻잎을 원료로 한 생활용품 등 다양한 가공품의 생산과 문화산업, 관광산업까지 포함하는 고부가가치 작목으로 매년 재배 면적이 크게 증가하였다. 최근에는 재배면적의 급속한 증가와 수입확대, 소비환경의 변화로 산지 재고가 증가하는 등 녹차 재배 농가의 어려움이 가중되고 있어 향후 수급 불균형이 우려되고 있다. 세계의 차 무역량은 연간 약 160만 톤, 재배면적은 약 256만 ha, 생산량은 약 320만 톤에 달한다. 아직까지는 수입 녹차에 대한 높은 관세율(514%)의 보호 아래 있지만, 중국이나 일본 등에 비해 가격, 품질, 상품개발 면에서 뒤떨어져 있는 실정이다. 또한 현재 외국에서 수입되고 있는 다양한 차들이 소비자의 기호에 영향을 미치고 있으며 특히 가격 경쟁력이 떨어지는 상황이다. 향후 차시장의 전면적인 개방에 대비하기 위해서는 경쟁력 있는 수출전략과 함께 국내 산업을 안정적으로 성장시키기 위한 전력을 모색해야한다. 주요 차생산국의 다원은 15도 이내의 경사지에 생성되어 있으나 30도 내외의 경사지도 다원 조성에 무리가 없다. 우리나라는 약 200만ha의 경사지를 포함하고 있어 차재배지 확대에 무한한 잠재력을 가지고 있다.

Most of the people in marketing area know that database marketing has been one of the most powerful marketing tools and thus database marketing industry grows bigger and bigger. For both effective database marketing and database marketing industry, personal data are the very essential resources. Unfortunately, in Korea, both database marketing and database marketing industry stays far behind compared to other countries because it is practically very hard to legally trade personal data for database marketing purpose. Instead Korea has a illegal spam problem which might be a natural consequency of strong restriction on personal data in the situation of huge demand for personal data. KT SODiS can be called the frontier of Korea's database marketing industry since it is the first legal business in this area. In the first 5 months, SODiS obtained 2 millions of legal customer consents which can be the strong base to help database marketing activities of other companies. This case shows marketing strategies of KT SODiS to establish infrastructure for Korea's database marketing industry and suggests some future tasks to further develop the industry.

This study aims to analyse whether outward foreign direct investment(FDI) by Korean manufacturers has a positive or negative effect on the nation's exports and imports. It provides a comprehensive analysis using both micro and macro approaches to overcome the limitations of the previous studies. In its micro-analysis, this study analyzed the impact of the outstanding outward FDI stock and other related factors on net export/import creation using panel data of 589 overseas affiliates of Korean manufacturers during the period of 2006 to 2011. And in the macro-analysis, the study analyzed the impact of outward FDI on exports using panel data of 23 manufacturing sectors during the period of 2000 to 2011. As a result of empirical study, contrary to the results of most previous studies, Korea's export can be negatively affected when it's manufacturing companies increase their outward FDI and localize their overseas businesses.

It has widely been recognized that the EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea was a succeeded mega event, according to, at least, the international media's attention and reports. This study analysed and compared the trends of the international media's reports on Yeosu in terms of before, preparing, during, and, after periods of the event, through a semantic network analysis. It was revealed that the images of Yeosu have dramatically been upgraded. The city of Yeosu, before the event, was a small port city of South Korea's southern part of peninsula. The city, after the nomination for the next host city of the exposition, was described to a city who had a full potentiality to host a world exposition, not a southern port city of South Korea. After the event was opened, Yeosu was a city of cutting-edge technology and cultural creativity, who had contributed to solve our humankind's pending ecological problems. Even after the events closed, Yeosu was continuously impressed as a ex-city of world exposition, a hub city of Asia trade, and a center for marine ecological restoration.

The credible measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) is among the most critical elements in UN-REDD (United Nations programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in Developing Countries). This study is intended to explore MRV potential in terms of UN-REDD opportunity cost estimation using satellite image for Mt. Geum-gang of North Korea. A visual interpretation were conducted to evaluate MRV conditions by sub-dividing or decomposing the images with different pixel size into a three types of hierarchical tree structure that helps dealing with spatial variability within each subarea. The permanent record of standard satellite remote sensing system demonstrated its capability of presenting area-wide visual evidences of MRV conditions in Mt. Geum-gang (such as the identification of forested area, degradation trends for forest space, three types of hierarchical land-cover and land use tree structure, carbon density in the landscape). Satellite data could be accepted as legally binding proof when it comes to REDD opportunity cost estimation since several cases exist where remote sensing has been used as legal evidence in ICJ (International Court of Justice) and UN resolution. It doesn't seem very difficult to comply with MRV requirements for UN-REDD opportunity cost calculation due to the probative value of satellite data. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference for Korea-based enterprises exploring REDD project sites and the carbon traders to ensure MRV potentials using satellite image in UN-REDD Opportunity Cost estimation.
