In this study, we consider the problem of forecasting the number of inbound foreigners visiting Korea. Forecasting tourism demand is an essential decision to plan related facilities and staffs, thus many studies have been carried out, mainly focusing on the number of inbound or outbound tourists. In order to forecast tourism demand, we use a seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) model, as well as a SARIMAX model which additionally comprises an exogenous variable affecting the dependent variable, i.e., tourism demand. For constructing the forecasting model, we use a search procedure that can be used to determine the values of the orders of the SARIMA and SARIMAX. For the exogenous variable, we introduce factors that could cause the tourism demand reduction, such as the 9/11 attack, the SARS and MERS epidemic, and the deployment of THAAD. In this study, we propose a procedure, called Measuring Impact on Demand (MID), where the impact of each factor on tourism demand is measured and the value of the exogenous variable corresponding to the factor is determined based on the measurement. To show the performance of the proposed forecasting method, an empirical analysis was conducted where the monthly number of foreign visitors in 2019 were forecasted. It was shown that the proposed method can find more accurate forecasts than other benchmarks in terms of the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

This study analyzed how external variables, such as the supply policy of shared bicycles and the spread of infectious diseases, affect the demand for shared bicycle use in the COVID-19 era. In addition, this paper presents a methodology for more accurate predictions. The Seasonal Auto-Regulatory Integrated Moving Average with Exogenous stressors methodology was applied to capture the effects of exogenous variables on existing time series models. The exogenous variables that affected the future demand for shared bicycles, such as COVID-19 and the supply of public bicycles, were statistically significant. As a result, from the supply volume and COVID-19 outbreak according to the scenario, it was estimated that approximately 46,000 shared bicycles would be supplied by 2022, and the COVID-19 cases would continue to be at the current level. In addition, approximately 32 million and 45 million units per year will be needed in 2021 and 2024, respectively.

수자원의 지속적인 관리 및 효율적인 활용을 위하여 수문량의 예측과 분석은 필수적인 과정이라 할 수 있으며 이에 따라 다양한 수문 모형이 구축되고 강우, 유량 등 대표적인 수문량의 예측이 수행되어져 왔다. 그 중에서도 수문 시계열 모형은 시간의 흐름에 따라 일정하게 기록되어온 수문 자료를 확률적인 과정을 통하여 모형을 구축하고 이를 바탕으로 미래 수문량을 예측하는 데활용되는 모형으로, 과거에 기록된 수문 패턴이 미래에도 지속된다는 가정 하에 구축된다. 일반적으로 시계열 모형은 하나의 자료계열로 모형을 구축하는 단변량 모형과 원 자료계열 외에 다른 자료계열을 고려하여 모형을 구축하는 다변량 모형이 있으며, 다변량 모형은 원 자료계열에 영향을 미치는 외부변수를 고려함으로써 두 자료계열간의 상관성을 모형에 반영할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 자료계열의 계절성을 고려하여 시계열 모형을 구축할 경우, 수문 시계열이 가지고 있는 계절적 영향을 잘 반영할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 계절성을 고려한 다변량 시계열 모형인 SARIMAX(Seasonal AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous) 모형을 이용하여 대표적인 수공구조물인 댐의 유입량 예측을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 댐 유입량 예측에는 댐의 유입량과 상관성이 높은 강우가 외부변수로 사용되어져 왔으나, 이 외에도 영향을 미칠 수 있는 지점특성치를 고려하여 모형을 구축한 후 비교하였다.

Improvements in people's quality of life, diversification of leisure activities, and changes in population structure have led to an increase in the demand for tourism and an expansion of the diversification of tourism activities. In particular, for coastal cities where land and marine tourism elements coexist, various factors influence their tourism demands. Tourism requires the construction of infrastructure and content development according to the demand at the tourist destination. This study aims to improve the prediction accuracy and explore influencing factors through time series analysis of tourism scale using agent-based data. Basic local governments in the Busan area were examined, and the data used were the number of tourists and the amount of tourism consumption on a monthly basis. The univariate time series analysis, which is a deterministic model, was used along with the SARIMAX analysis to identify the influencing factor. The tourism consumption propensity, focusing on the consumption amount according to business types and the amount of mentions on SNS, was set as the influencing factor. The difference in accuracy (RMSE standard) between the time series models that did and did not consider COVID-19 was found to be very wide, ranging from 1.8 times to 32.7 times by region. Additionally, considering the influencing factor, the tourism consumption business type and SNS trends were found to significantly impact the number of tourists and the amount of tourism consumption. Therefore, to predict future demand, external influences as well as the tourists' consumption tendencies and interests in terms of local tourism must be considered. This study aimed to predict future tourism demand in a coastal city such as Busan and identify factors affecting tourism scale, thereby contributing to policy decision-making to prepare tourism demand in consideration of government tourism policies and tourism trends.
