An examination is made of container movements, air cargo/passengers and telecommunications traffic in Northeast Asia during 1995. A drawback to studying flows between major cities is that information on telecommunications traffic is only available between countries. Also container traffic data are restricted to individual ports. Consequently, most attention is paid to movements of passenger aircraft between major cities derived from analysing timetables, particularly as they can be related to regional development concepts applied in Europe such as the 'blue banana' and 'bunches of grapes' concepts. A 'peas in a pod' may be a more appropriate movements are examined again in 1998 to gauge the impact of the Asian crisis.

The burden of cervical cancer is increasing in Vietnam in the recent years, infection with high risk HPV being the cause. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of HPV and the distribution of HPV specific types among the general population in 5 big cities in Vietnam. Totals of 1500 women in round 1 and 3000 in round 2 were interviewed and underwent gynecological examination. HPV infection status, and HPV genotyping test were perfoirmed for all participants. Results indicated that the prevalence of HPV infection in 5 cities ranged from 6.1% to 10.2% with Can Tho having highest prevalence. The most common HPV types in all 5 cities were HPV 16, 18 and 58. Most of the positive cases were infected with high risk HPV, especially in Hanoi and Can Tho where more than 90% positive cases were high risk HPV. Furthermore, in Can Tho more than 60% of women were infected with multiple HPV types. The information from this study can be used to provide updated data for planning preventive activities for cervical cancer in the studied cities.

This paper identifies five factors that limited urban network formation in Northeast Asia over the past half millennium, questions the extent to which they are being overcome in the 1990s, and sketches a network of cities that could boost regionalism. It briefly traces the historical evolution of these factors, including comparisons with European integration, while focusing primarily on the policies of the 1990s that have affected their continuing role. First is the factor of closed national markets with weak regional integration. Second is the preeminence of administrative means of integration over commercial ones. Third is the character of localism, shackled by overcentralization and weak cross-border linkages. Fourth is the limited nature of internationalism, dominated by state catch-up policies with one-sided global involvement. Fifth is a lack of regional consciousness. Just as national urban integration was essential for regional networks to form, without regional integration it is difficult to contemplate Northeast Asian cities taking their rightful place in a global urban network. After noting the failures of the 1990s, the paper points to the potential role as dragon's heads for sub-regional urban networks of potential front-line cities: Tumen, Sapporo, Irkutsk, and what I call the Amur triangle. Also of interest are how the capitals of Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, and Tokyo will adjust to a transformed urban network. After all, their current skepticism must be overcome with a program that links the benefits on all sides in order to build trust in regionalism. This requires internationalism and symbols of a balanced approach to each country's needs.

This study is to investigate the air pollution characteristics of an industrialized midsize west-coastal city by comparing air quality to a neighboring inland city. The hourly averaged data of $O_3$, $SO_2$, $NO_2$, CO, and $PM_{10}$ measured from continuous air quality monitoring sites in Gunsan (coastal) and Jeonju (inland) were analyzed. The data set covers the period from 2004 to 2006. The annual average concentrations of the air pollutants in two cities were compared in their abundances and temporal trends as well. $O_3$ and $SO_2$ in Gunsan were relatively higher than those in Jeonju, while vice versa in case of $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$. It seems that heavy automobile emissions from Jeonju mainly bring on higher $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ than those in Gunsan on annual base. $NO_2$ concentrations in both cities showed bimodal diurnal variations with peaks in the morning and in the late evening. These peaks correspond to the coupled effects of rush hour traffic and meteorological conditions (i.e., variation of mixing height and dispersion conditions). Maximum hourly averages of $NO_2$ ranged from 18 ppb to 28 ppb at Jeonju, and from 12 ppb to 20 ppb at Gunsan. $O_3$ showed typical diurnal variation with a maximum in the afternoon between 14:00 and 16:00 LST. Diurnal variations of CO and $PM_{10}$ were similar to $NO_2$ while $SO_2$ was similar to $O_3$. Seasonal variations of $PM_{10}$ in both cities indicated that their concentrations during spring season were significantly high. Asian dust storms occur frequently during spring and seem to affect increase in $PM_{10}$. High $O_3$ and $PM_{10}$ days were selected from both cities. The analyses based on the HYSPLIT trajectory model during the high $O_3$ and $PM_{10}$ showed these episodes (six cases) were mostly coincident with Asian dust storm originated from northern China and Mongolia. However, these high air pollution episodes in the west coastal cities may not only be caused by the Asian dust but also affected by other air pollutants transported from China accompanying the Asian dust.

경관과 정원은 현대 도시에서 중요한 실천 매체로 부각되었다. 이 중 본 논문에서는 정원을 프레임으로 도시를 살펴본다. 정원은 도시민의 활동 매체로 재설정되고 있으며, 도시 재생과 도시형 마을 만들기의 중요한 실행 주제가 되었기 때문이다. 이런 입장에서 본 논문은 정원을 매개로 나타나는 도시 구조와 도시민의 행태, 그 과정 및 결과에 집중하여 볼 때 현시대 우리에게 적합한 조경이론으로 "통합적 정원도시론"을 검토하고 제안한다. 이것은 한 세기 넘도록 진화해온 조경을 되돌아보며, 조경의 정체성을 되묻는 과정이자 결과이기도 하다. 먼저 정원과 도시 사이에서 조경의 씨앗을 품어둔 바 있는 에벤에저 하워드(Ebenezer Howard)와 프레드릭 로 옴스테드(Frederick Law Olmsted)의 입장이 크게 다르지 않았음에 주목하며 '작동하는 경관과 감응하는 풍경'이 도시의 기본적 요소이자 조경이론의 시작이었음을 정원도시론을 통해 살펴보았다. 또한 지난 세기를 지나며 그들의 이상이 도시에 모두 구현되지는 못하였으나, 현재는 동아시아 도시에서 전통 정원문화에 기반한 정원의 원형이 형성되고 있음을 살펴보고, 그에 대응하는 조경이론의 진화 방향을 살펴보았다. 결론은 새로운 버전의 정원 개념은 우리 도시에서 생활 인프라로 재설정되어야 한다는 것과 그것이 작동하기 위한 새로운 정원도시론이 필요하다는 것이다. 이를 위해 각 장별로 다음과 같이 세 가지 논점을 검토하였다. 첫째, 현대 도시에서 나타나는 정원과 동아시아 정원문화의 가치는 공동체성(community)과 통합성(integrity)을 주제로 형상화되고 있다. 둘째, 아파트로 대표되는 한국적 공동체성은 가드닝(gardening)으로 표출되며 도시와 생활의 재결합과 그것을 지원해줄 전문분야로서 조경의 역할을 필요로 하고 있다. 셋째, 동양적 자연관에 기초한 도시 기반, 일상생활, 정원 매체, 즉 도시-생활-정원이 유기적인 실천론으로서 통합적 정원도시론을 검토하고 고민해 본다. 결과적으로 현대의 정원과 도시는 동아시아 조경문화, 정원문화에서 아직 재발견이 필요한 중요한 요소와 가치들을 찾고 있음이 확인된다. 통합적 정원도시론의 제안이 조경의 지속을 담보할 수는 없겠지만, 이를 계기로 조경뿐만 아니라 도시와 관련한 모든 분야가 협업하며 정원도시를 고민하는 기회는 될 수 있다. 이를 통해 "대도시 또는 밀집 도시에 적합한 정원과 도시의 개념, 공동체성에 기반한 정원문화의 확산과 지원 방안, 생활방식과 지형조건에 적합한 조경이론/설계이론의 진화, 기후변화 대응이 가능한 지속가능한/회복탄력적인 정원도시론 모색, 그리고 21세기 조경의 새로운 역할 설정" 등이 본격적으로 고민되길 기대한다.

The article compares economic and environmental performance of Taipei and Almaty from the point of view of "green" economy, which is able to act as a key tool to ensure sustainable development of the region. As the comparison of the parameters of ecological and economic development of the Taipei and Almaty cities shows, they are similar in population size, but demonstrate completely different trends of sustainable development. Economic performance of the Taipei city is achieved with a decrease in the consumption of natural resources and the production of pollution, while the situation in Almaty is the opposite. Almaty maintains a high level of air pollution due to the use of coal in electricity production, as well as increased traffic and density of construction, including the southern part of the city, which is a zone for the transit of mountain air flows. The article discusses the activities jointly conducted by the Government of Taiwan and non-governmental organizations on environmental issues, as well as environmental NGOs, which resulted in significant improvements in the environmental field. Measures to stimulate the development and implementation of environmental innovations applied in the field of sustainable development in the city of Taipei can be adapted for the city of Almaty, where the environmental situation deteriorates year by year.

This paper aims to introduce and understand critically the work of Edward Soja, mainly the First part of the which develops his own concepts, such as 'synekism', 'trialectics of space', 'regionality' and 'geohistory'. Most of all, in explaining Geohistory, he emphasizes three 'Urban revolutions': First Urban revolutions in Jericho and ÇatalHüyük, which shows first synekism as proto urban society, Second in Ur and other Sumerian cities where appeared a concentrated power of central government and its transcendental ideologies, and Third in Manchester and in Chicago, typical capitalist cities. These three urban revolutions don't correspond to the established historical periodization. In order to understand these revolutions, it is necessary to comprehend the concept of 'machine' of G. Deleuze and F. Guattari, inspired, in fact, by Lewis Mumford - Primitive Territorial machine, Barbaric Despotic machine, and Civilized Capitalist machine. However, these periodization and concepts of E. Soja have to be applied very cautiously in accordance with concrete historical sources, avoiding theoretical distortion on positivity of historical facts.

The increasing cost, and demand for, household energy has increased attention to the phenomena of energy burdens. Despite this increased attention, a lack of consensus remains in pinpointing the strongest predictors, and geographic differences, that exist within the energy ecosystem. This study addresses this gap by utilizing a series of dummy variable regressions across cities, suburbs, and rural areas within Erie County, New York-a county noted to have particularly high energy burdens. Specifically, three types of predictor sets were incorporated into the methodology: a set of socioeconomic variables, physical variables, and a combination of both variable sets. The results of this study suggest that cities tend to have the highest electricity burdens. Despite the aging infrastructure in Erie County, high energy burdens were driven primarily by socioeconomic factors such as housing cost burden and poverty status. Lastly, this study explores various planning and policy implications Erie County can utilize to reduce energy burdens. In turn, this study highlights the importance of focusing policy efforts on existing social service programs to provide support to the region's neediest households.
