  • The purpose of this study was to examine the selection process of the marathon course and the progress of the related urban landscape design projects. The study revealed that the initially selected course of the downtown Namdaemum changed to the riverside course that runs around Gangnam and Han river. This change implied that showing the developed landscape of Seoul was much more considered than showing the traditional landscape of Seoul. The urban design plan had changed in 1986 after the marathon course was finalized. The development project of downtown was changed to Gangnam area including Teheran-ro. The city also redeveloped the substandard housing zones around the Olympic facilities. As a result, developed areas and modern apartments of the riverside was emphasized in international TV game broadcast. This embedded the industrialized and modernized image of Seoul to foreigners. Also, Koreans started to recognize the Han river as Seoul's representative landmark. Accordingly, Seoul succeeded in creating a modernized urban landscape image through the Olympic marathon course.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the improvement and development of Korean marathon through an analysis of the records of Korean Marathon and the World Marathon. Based on the records of the Donga Marathon, the Chuncheon Marathon, and the JoongAng Marathon, which are the three major marathons of Korea, the results of comparison and analysis of the records of Korean Marathon and World Marathon are as follows. First, it is rare for the host country to win. The problem is that, recently, for more than 10 years, the record gap with foreign players is increasing. Second, Comparisons between Olympic men and women and world championships men and women had equally competed for a winning record until the 1990s, but have not been able to reach the past winning record they recorded 20 years ago, and have been keeping a big difference in the record with the world record.

  • The marathon course on road surfaces varies frequently in alignment horizontally and /or vertically. This fact compelled use to use a calibrated bicycle method for the course measurement, and to be required statistical approaches for data processing. This paper deals with the computation of the Seoul Olympic Marathon course lengths measured on May 18, 1986. The concept of safety factor against short course is analyzed for certification, and statistical methods are presented to compute an appropriate safety factor. The results of computation show that the best (lowest) actual measurement provides about 99.95% confidence that the combined lengths of all intervals will not be found short upon an equally accurate remeasurement.

  • The area of conservation treatment of the bronze helmet of the ancient Greece, treasure No. 904, which Sohn Keechung (1912 to 2002) received as an extra prize for his winning the marathon in the 1936 Berlin Olympics deteriorated and as a result crack and discoloration occurred. Its nose guard hung downward due to the crack of the bonded area of upper end. Therefore, conservation treatment of the helmet was conducted again. The nose guard was separated from the body. Stabilization and consolidation treatment of them was made and then they were joined again. The cracked and missing areas were reinforced with woven glass fibers, and the nose guard was reinforced with woven glass fibers and Ti plate after the bonding. The joined area of the nose guard was carved with the same pattern as that of the surrounding area and its color was adjusted to be the same as well.

  • This study tried to revaluate the Erasure of Japanese National Flag in Dong-A Ilbo. In spite of its historical significance, this event was not explored thoroughly by researchers. While it was known as Chosunjoongang-Ilbo erased the Japanese National Flag earlier than Dong-A Ilbo on August 13 1936, but this study found out that Dong-A Ilbo erased the Japanese National Flag in the local morning edition of the same day. With the victory of Kijeong Son in the Berlin Olympic Marathon the nationalistic coverage of Dong-A Ilbo seemed to be revived. And this change caused the severe suppression by the colonial Japanese government. The government intended to eliminate the influences of Seongsu Kim and Jinwoo Song to make Dong-A Ilbo more cooperative partner. But because the intention of the government was not acceptable to two men, Dong-A Ilbo posed a noncooperative stance. This resulted in the longest suspension over 9 months. Finally with the change of stance to a compromising one, Dong-A Ilbo could be released from the longest suspension on June 3rd, 1937.
