Location is the key theme in geography and various location theories are well established for diverse economic activities. As normative theory, the logical presentation of the location theories tends to make students appraise the class difficult and lose interests. This study presents a teaching materials and inductive method for the location of venture firms using newspaper articles as an example of the knowledge and information industry. Presented are various newspaper articles about venture firms in which the locational notions are selected to find out general location factors. And then their locational preference of large cities, diseconomies of agglomeration, the possibilities of deconcentration from large cities and new establishments in peripheral regions are presented in order. The inductive way of teaching location from specific examples to general tendencies using NIE could bring students' interests and participation which is in line with the student-oriented inquiry-based teaching emphasized recently in educational methods. It could be an effective teaching method for the location theories in economic geography and other difficult subjects.

A competitive location problem in discrete space is computationally difficult to solve in general because of its combinatorial feature. In this paper, we address an alternative method for solving competitive location problems in discrete space, particularly employing deterministic allocation. The key point of the suggested method is to reducing the number of predefined potential facility sites associated with the size of problem by utilizing geometric concepts. The suggested method was applied to the existing broadband marketplace with increasing competition as an application. Specifically, we compared computational results and spatial configurations of two different sized problems: the problem with the original potential sites over the study area and the problem with the reduced potential sites extracted by a GIS-based geometric algorithm. The results show that the competitive location model with the reduced potential sites can be solved more efficiently, while both problems presented the same optimal locations maximizing customer capture.

This paper presents a sequentially combined method of determining location conditions, the number of unmanned parcel service box and their optimal locations. First of all, block, accessibility and main public facilities are considered as location conditions and then set-covering model and p-median model are adopted for deciding the number of unmanned parcel service box and optimal locations, respectively. A case study for a region composed of small housings and multiplex housings in Ansan is conducted to prove the validation and application of the proposed method. The result indicates that 2 unmanned parcel service boxes are necessary in specific public places. The research contributes to resonable choice of unmanned parcel service boxes, crime reduction relevant to delivery man impersonation and economic benefit due to parcel service industry growth.

Recently, the need of wast incineratory has been recognized. However, the waste incinerator is considered the typical example of NYMB syndrome as a locally unwanted facilities. Therefore, the site selection of waste incineratory should be determined very carefully with consideration of various location factors. The purpose of this study is to provide a new decision-making process model for site selection that provides a rational and a systematic way. The fuzzy set theory and AHP theory, which have merits to overcome uncertainly and complexity of spatial data, are applied to select candidate sites for the waste incineratory. The method is able to produce a more flexible and objective solution for selecting suitability sites in comparison to rigid boolean logic. The result of this study shows that geographic information systems have clear implication for informing the spatial decision making process.

천변저류지는 침수시 피해가 큰 도시지역을 보호하기 위하여 도시구간의 상류 특정구간을 저류공간으로 이용하여 홍수를 조절하는 방법이다. 천변저류지는 하도흐름에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 주어진 규모 대비 첨두홍수량 조절효과가 다른 홍수방어대책에 비해 크다고 알려져 있어 유역종합치수계획이나 풍수해저감종합계획 등에서 상당히 자주 주요 검토대상이 되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 GIS를 이용한 천변저류지의 가용입지를 조사하는 방법론 등은 상당한 진보를 이루었으나 이렇게 조사된 다양한 입지들 중에서 특정 보호대상 도시를 기준으로 가장 홍수조절 효과가 크고 경제성이 높은 입지를 판단하는 것은 다양한 수문조건과 이에 대한 정밀한 모의가 필요하므로 상당히 어려운 문제가 된다. 이때 천변저류지의 입지가 보여주는 위치와 규모를 이용하여 개략적으로 홍수조절 효과를 미리 판단할 수 있다면 상위계획단계에서 우선순위 등을 검토할 경우의 개략적인 해석수단으로 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWMM 모형을 이용해 홍수유출 및 하천수리 해석을 연계하여 수행하는 방법론을 통해 천변저류지의 홍수조절효과를 모형화하였다. 이때, 다양한 조건에서의 천변저류지의 위치 및 용량에 따른 홍수조절효과를 모의함으로써 주어진 입지에 따른 최적 홍수방어계획을 수립할 수 있는 기준을 도출할 수 있었다.

The main objective of the study is to propose GIS-based methods to assess the population distribution criteria for undesirable facilities such as nuclear power plants. First of all, a review of the relevant criteria was conducted for the official documents compiled by such institutions as IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), U.S. NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission), and some national institutes including the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety. It is informed from the review that the fundamental principle underlying the various criteria is to maximize the distance between a plant and the nearest population center. It is realized that two interrelated GIS-based techniques need to be devised to put the principle into practice; sophisticated ways of representing population distribution and identifying population centers. A dasymetric areal interpolation is proposed for the former and cell-based and area-based critical density methods are introduced. Grid-based population distributions at various spatial resolutions are created by means of the dasymetric areal interpolation. By applying the critical density methods to the gridded population distribution, some population centers satisfying the population size and density criteria can be identified. These methods were applied to the case of the Gori-1 nuclear power plant and their strengths and limitations were discussed. It was revealed that the assessment results could vary depending upon which method was employed and what values were chosen for various parameters. This study is expected to contribute to foster the applications of methods and techniques developed in geospatial analysis and modeling to the site selection and evaluation.

This study reviews geographical research trends on 'New industrial agglomeration' in Korea and recommends research issues for further studies. Recent studies on industrial agglomeration region have typically concentrated on empirical case studies from new 'perspectives'. As a result, the establishment and theorizing of frameworks for analysis on industrial agglomeration have been given too little attention. To solve this problem research should be conducted to develop frameworks for analysis integrating noneconomic factors and existing economic factors, a strategy emphasized in new industrial agglomeration theory. By doing so, research investigating viability mechanism and generalization will be invigorated. Meanwhile, research focused excessively on social and cultural conditions of region-related networks between actors in economic space at specific scales should be excluded. In addition, academic research on vitalizing industrial agglomeration region, such as cluster policy, should be strengthened. In order to conduct these research objectives effectively, it is necessary to vitalize overall understanding among researchers of industrial agglomeration and provide a place for collaborative learning.
