This paper is the first part of a research which looks into the regional development process and the quality of life of Youngnam area, and which suggests a prospect and tasks for the future development of the region. Youngnam region has grown rapidly on the basis of labor-intensive light industries and standardized Fordist lage-scale heavy industries through the industrialization and urbanization of South Korea from the 1960s; but recently it has shown a relatively downward trend. The recent economic stagnation of Youngnam region can be seen as a result of uneven regional development in the national scale, which has brought out the increasing subcontracting relation within the region, the geographically excessive concentration of firms, the lack of growth potentiality of high-tech industries, the weakness of producer service, and the shortage of financial activities for capital flows. In addition, construction of physical and social infrastructures and management of urban central functions could not meet properly the rapid economic and urban growth of the region. Because of these problematics inherent in the economy of Yougnam region, the occupational status of regional dwellers is more or less unstable, and the wage level of employee as a whole in Youngnam region is lower than those of Seoul, although the wage level of labourers in manufacturing is relatively high. Moreover, the quality of life of dwellers in the region has some difficulties in the use of resources and ecological environment as well as the unequal provision of means of living and welfare facilities, even though it has been improved materially.

The Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongsangmando(BuUlGyeong) megacity aims to grow into the second metropolitan area by strengthening the growth and connectivity of the southeast region in Korea. In order to analyze the linkage between port logistics and regional economic development, this study focused on the economic community of BuUlGyeong. The findings are as follows. First, it was found that vessel entry and departure had a positive (+) significant effect on cargo volume. Second, the cargo volume was found to have a preemptive effect on the vessel entry and exit ports and the composite index. Third, the composite Index was found to have a significant positive (+) effect on cargo volume. From the results of the variance decomposition, it can be confirmed that the composite index has a weak impact on ship entry/exit and cargo volume. Based on the above findings, some policy implications are derived. First, regional governments in BuUlGyeong should provide incentives to revitalize the maritime economy such as the expansion of maritime port infrastructure and encouraging investment. Second, since an increase in cargo transport volume at major national ports linked to the BuUlGyeong region has a positive (+) effect on economy. Therefore it is necessary to expand actively port marketing and regular service for the country and ports. Third, investments should be made continuously to expand the marine port infrastructure such as the expansion of facilities so that global shipping companies can continue to call megacities in BuUlGyeong ports for super-large ships and cruises.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 하구의 대포천에서의 주민운동을 분석하여 지역사회가 주도하는 환경운동이 특정 조건이 충족된다면 성공적인 환경관리를 할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 지역사회기반 환경보호(Community-Based Environmental Protection)는 다양한 명칭으로 표현되고 있으나 지역주민의 주도 하에서 환경보호 및 개선을 이룩하는 것으로 지속가능한 사회를 달성할 수 있는 유용한 환경관리 방안으로 이론적인 지지를 받고 있다. 이 방법은 정부의 강압적인 규제보다 효과적일 수 있으며 지역사회의 다양한 욕구와 환경문제를 동시에 고려하게 되는 장점도 있다. 그러나 이러한 지역기반환경운동이 실재 전개되어 성공하는 경우는 흔하지 않다. 그런데 낙동강 하류의 대포천 사례는 지역주민의 환경규제반대운동이 결국에는 주민의 자발적인 수질개선운동으로 발전하여 실질적인 수질개선효과를 창출하였다. 뿐만 아니라 낙동강특별법의 제정 시에 제도화되어 수질환경정책의 발전에도 기여한 특별한 사례이다. 본 연구는 대포천 사례를 우리나라 수질관리정책의 종합적인 체계와 연계시켜서 살펴보면서 대포천 인근지역주민의 수질개선운동의 단계적 전개과정을 살펴보고 이 운동이 성공할 수 있었던 요인을 분석하고 있다.

This paper have examined how industrial restructuring had been undertaken in response to economic crises in both Stuttgart, the hometown of the German automaker Daimler-Benz and Turin, that of the Italian automaker Fiat, in terms of changes in regional governances. Based upon this comparison, their micro dynamics have been examined that the transformation of automotive production systems from vertical integration to vertical disintegration had produced different regional development paths. It is argued that the recent transformation of auto production systems does not lead to a global convergence, but it reveals a local divergence based upon its locally embedded heritages, which is closely related to regional governances among the economic agents in question.

The purpose of this study is to examine the geographical distribution and the clustering characteristics as an industrial cluster in order to provide alternative fundamental data for the preparation of the policies to facilitate the development of the Green Energy Industry. The main source of the data in this study is the outcome of a survey conducted to the firms and environment specialist from June 21st, 2010 to July 23rd, 2010. The Green Energy related companies in Daegyeong region are clustered around Pohang and Gumi, Gyeongbuk, and Dalseo District of Daegu Metropolitan City. The core element of the sustainability of the Green Energy Industry in the region is the inducement of the large-scale corporate presence in the region as well as the technical and geographical proximity. That is, the fact that there are sister companies established by the large scale corporate Daegyeong region as they have chosen this field for their new drive for growth. The major location factors are proximity, higher quality expectations from the local demands, technical availability, and competition with other companies of the same industry in the region, rather than the availability of the raw material. And the choke points for these companies are the financial support of R&D and the policy support of specialist training. The policy to facilitate the development of the industry in question in Daegyeong region, therefore, should shift from its previous focuses on infrastructure building and taxation benefits to financial supports for the technical research, human resource development in response to the needs of the companies. Also, programs to support the proficiency training for the already-hired work forces and development of new policies for the Green Energy Industry are needed to be introduced for the development of the Green Energy Industry in Daegyeong region.

Following the emergence of a knowledge-based economy, the role of universities in regional development has been re-evaluated through considering localized interactive learning processes. This paper tries to identify the role of universities for regional development and the variables effecting on their localized engagement in regional development. We argues that universities cannot be viewed as a single angle, because the behaviors of a university are influenced by the degree of their independence from regional and national governments. Likewise, the contributions of universities to their regional development can be differential depending on the organizational characteristics of individual universities, the social, political, and economical contexts of a given region and nation, and complex relations between and within universities and other regional stakeholders. These variables can be both the drivers and barriers when each university responds to regional needs. Based on the literature review, we suggest that the explanatory factors of shaping the engagement of universities in regional development can be classified into four categories: the characteristics of individual universities, the national context, the local and regional context, and the policy context.

최근 정부의 녹색성장 정책과 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard)도입 계획에 따라 재생가능에너지 개발계획이 쏟아지고 있다. 특히 조력 발전의 경우, 시화, 가로림, 강화, 인천만 등 전 세계 최대 규모 타이틀을 서로 갱신하가며 서해바다를 중심으로 건설 계획이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 조수간만의 차이를 이용해 친환경 에너지원으로 인식되던 조력발전이 그 규모와 방식에 따라 환경파괴적 발전원으로 인식되고 있는 것도 현실이다. 갯벌소멸, 해양생태계 파괴, 해수면 상승 등 생태적 환경문제 야기와 더불어 지역 주민간의 사회환경적 갈등도 초래되고 있다. 본 논문은 국내 조력발전의 개발 계획과 과정을 살펴보고 생태적.사회적 환경영향 피해 점검을 통해, 바람직한 조력발전의 모습을 제시해 본다.

최근 보고에 의하면 국내에서 투석치료를 받고 있는 만성신부전 환자가 매년 증가 추세에 있다고 보고하였는데 그 원인으로는 신장 대체요법의 발전으로 인한 수명연장, 신장질환을 유발할 수 있는 타 질환으로부터의 생존율 증가에 따라 만성 신장질환의 발병률 증가를 주요 원인으로 지적하고 있다. 이처럼 투석 환자들의 수적인 증가뿐만 아니라 투석치료법의 발달에 따른 투석환자들의 수명도 연장되고 있어 투석환자의 재활에 대한 관심이 점차 증가하고 있다.(중략)

1899년 9월 18일 경인선 철도가 개통된 이래 우리철도는 100년이 넘는 역사를 가지고 있다. 1970년대 경부선 최고속도를 140km/h로 향상시킨데 이어 현재 우리나라는 건국이래 최대규모의 사회기반시설인 경부고속전철 사업을 추진중이며, 2004년에 300km/h급 고속철도 서비스가 개시될 예정으로 경부축의 상대적 거리는 더욱 가까워지면서 발전이 촉진되지만, 타 지역의 개발은 상대적으로 지체됨에 따라 국토의 편중개발로 인한 지역적 불만을 초래하게 될 것으로 예상된다.(중략)
