■Objective
KRIHS is engaged in establishing a master plan to revitalize Gongju and Buyeo, the capital cities of Baekje Dynasty which lasted for almost seven hundred years in ancient Korea. The goal of this symposium is to obtain useful insights and expe-rience from foreign experts and explore the direc-tion of regenerating historical cities and stimulat-ing their regional economy.
■Brief Summary
Mr. Wakisaka Ryuichi of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism of Japan
opened the session with a presentation on
“Japan's Legal System for Creating Historical Town." He introduced various laws being employed by the government to maintain and preserve Japan's historical landscapes and revital-ize regional economies. Examples include Ancient City Preservation Law, Cultural Asset Protection Law, Landscape Law, and Urban Planning Law.
He also mentioned the limitations and problems of these laws and introduced the Historical Village Re-creation Law which was enacted anew to address these problems. He added that this law helped spur voluntary preservation efforts.
Italian professor Francesca Mazzino followed with his presentation on “Genoa: The New Streets and the System of the Palazzi dei Rolli." He illus-trated the harmonious formation of the Rolli resi-dential complex (Palazzi dei Rolli) and new streets in the old city of Genoa in Italy. He said that historical relics of the old city are preserved even while new towns are being developed in Genoa.
The next speaker was Professor Li Huadong of Beijing University of Technology. He spoke on the “Regeneration of Old Cities along Jing Hang Water Carriage System," introducing efforts to preserve and regenerate historical and cultural cities adjacent to Da Yun He.
KRIHS research fellow Lee Soonja continued with a presentation on “Baekje: Its Significance and Major Issues in the Historical & Cultural City Development Policy." She examined the current situation, limitations and problems surrounding historical and cultural city regeneration projects

of Korea and described actual difficulties involved in the regeneration of Gongju and Buyeo, the historical and cultural cities of Baekje.
She suggested the following as future tasks of regeneration projects: commercializing culture, endowing unique features to each region, build-ing a governance system to strengthen regional capabilities, and creating synergistic effects through collaborative development.
A panel discussion was held after the presenta-tions. The topic of the discussion was a vision and practical measures for regenerating the his-torical and cultural city of Baekje, and Dr. Chae Mieoak, head of the Center for Cultural Territorial Policy of KRIHS moderated the discussion. Partic-ipants all agreed that a set of measures was
need-ed to develop Baekje. They discussneed-ed the impor-tance of leading industries and institutional sup-ports, and said that stimulating the regional economy, building a unique historical and cultur-al city that is different from other cities, promot-ing harmony between environmental protection and development, preparing methods for resolv-ing conflicts with locals were some practical measures required to develop the city of Baekje.
■Policy Implications
Historical and cultural specialists attended the symposium and had various discussions. The opinions and case studies covered in the sympo-sium were used in making a plan for the creation of the historical and cultural city of Baekje.

■Objective
KRIHS and Hiroshima University have performed joint research on “user-oriented travel informa-tion services" since 2008. The goal of this semi-nar is to share research findings and seek ways to encourage the use of public transportation by introducing the latest information technology.
■Brief Summary
KRIHS and IDEC held a joint international
semi-nar on “User-oriented Public Transportation Sys-tems" on May 15, 2009. Dr. Lee Backjin, associate research fellow of KRIHS, presided over the first session. First, Professor Junyi Zhang of Japan University gave a presentation on the “Evaluation of the Value of Travel Information for Multi-modal Travel Information Provision System.”
Using data collected from Japan and Korea in 2008, Professor Zhang stressed the need for pro-viding multi-modal travel information and reported on the different level of information demand between Korea and Japan. In particular, he analyzed and described how the difference in demand was deeply related with different trans-portation operation style (e.g., timeliness). The next presenter was Professor Akimasa Fujiwara, Vice Dean of IDEC, Hiroshima University. He spoke on “A Comprehensive Survey of Travel Information and Travel Behavior: Ordinary Users, Elderly and Disabled Users,” stressing that it is essential to examine the travel behavior of the elderly and the disabled to provide more effective user-centered travel information.
Korean presenters presented research findings in session two. The session was presided over by Dr. Shimamoto, assistant professor of Hiroshima University. The first presenter was Dr. Lee Back-jin, who reported on the research outcome of
"Development Strategies of User-Oriented Public Transportation: MObile Transit Information Ser-vices for Activity plan in Real time (MOTISAR).”
He explained the concept and the development scheme of MOTISAR systems, which provide user-oriented public information and services, including location, time, and events via mobile

devices. He emphasized the need for an academic research into the methodology for analyzing the effect of such high-tech information service. Mr.
Park Jongil, assistant research fellow, followed with a presentation on “Development Strategies of User-Oriented Public Transportation: Bus Information Terminal(BIT) and On Board Infor-mation Systems.” He introduced the current situ-ation of high-tech mass transportsitu-ation system of Korea and explained the development and con-tents of user-centered travel information system technologies, using actual examples.
Lively discussions were held at the ensuing Q&A session. Participants, particularly, students from developing countries, were highly interested in the rapid development of information and communication technology in Korea. They
dis-cussed ways of building behavior models, supply contents, and developing device-specific strate-gies to provide user-centered travel information.
■Policy Implications
Researchers of both countries who participated in the seminar agreed that user-oriented public transportation systems contributed significantly to improving the current public transportation. In particular, researchers emphasized the need for developing a new type of information service and an effect analysis tool based on more detailed user demand surveys and relevant research, and they acknowledged the need for continuous research cooperation. Both sides renewed their commitment to promote research exchanges.

■Objective
The goal of this workshop is to explore formation of transborder regions and deployment of urban strategies in transborder regions.
■Brief Summary
This workshop consisted of two sessions. In
ses-sion one, general discusses-sions were held on the emergence of China and the change of geoecono-my. In session two, the formation, current situa-tion of each transborder region, and many case studies were reviewed. The first presenter, Profes-sor Mike Douglass of Hawaii University, intro-duced the history of transborder alliance in Northeast Asia since 1960 and its significance.
The next speaker, Dr. Kim Wonbae, explained about the effects the developments of Hongkong, Taiwan, and China's coastal areas have on the economic order of Northeast Asia. Mr. Roger C.K.
Chan, professor of the University of Hong Kong, explained about the collaboration and integration of Hong Kong and PRD (Pearl River Delta) and described how they enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong-PRD region. He noted that this mutual complementarity enhances the competi-tiveness of not only Hong Kong and PRD region but also the “Greater PRD." Professor Nancy Hsiao Hung Chen of Taiwan Chengshi University analyzed Taiwan's investment in coastal China, citing that the relationship is becoming mutual instead of one-sided as exemplified by Taiwan's investment in China. Professor Kong Chong Ho of the University of Singapore analyzed Singa-pore's investment in neighboring areas and said that Singapore's urban regions are characterized by uncertain agglomeration economies and weak industrial infrastructures. It was followed by a presentation of Dr. Park Sehoon, associate research fellow of KRIHS. He analyzed the invest-ment pattern in Incheon (capital region) and Qingdao, stating that cooperation based on the vertical division of labor is coming to an end and
ⅢInternational CooperationConferences and Symposia

that a new form of collaboration is needed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Naoto Takaki, senior research fel-low of the Kyushu Economic Research Center, explored the possibility of forging a new type of transborder region along Korea-Japan Strait since there already exists a partnership between Busan and Fukuoka. Finally, Professor Lim Jungduk of Busan National University introduced the case study of Oeresund in Sweden and suggested lessons that could be applied in Busan and Fukuoka.
■Policy Implications
A few policy implications are offered. First, large cities need to entertain seriously ways and means to expedite the transition of cities into a service-oriented economy. Second, the critical policy arena for advanced cities in East Asia is labor importation. This is not simply a matter of labor augmentation but talents, who help make inno-vations and a multi-cultural society, which pro-vides an opportunity for foreign-born citizens.
Third, the key task for the national and city poli-cy-makers in the coming decades is upgrading industrial clusters and promoting inter-cluster linkages across the border. This is not an easy task since benefits are distant and the private sec-tor is unlikely to pay the costs.
For the Korean policy-makers at both the cen-tral and local level, the following points are sug-gested. First, it is necessary to establish anchor cities to expand transborder linkages beyond simple trading of commodities. Local initiatives should be encouraged by awarding funds for
transborder inter-city cooperation in knowledge sharing and joint R&D.
Second, current industrial linkages based on the vertical division of labor across the border need to be changed so as to embrace a more hor-izontal division of labor. These linkages need to be formulated into cluster-to-cluster linkages instead of linkages between or within individual firms.
Third, the concept of industrial cluster should be expanded to include services. For example, the Busan-Fukuoka transborder region has a much greater potential in building up the agglomera-tion economies of services.
Fourth, policy-makers in Korea should keep in mind that transborder economic cooperation depending on factor cost differentials is coming to an end in the maritime zone of East Asia.
A strategic thinking is required in transborder cooperation, whether between nations or between cities. Pooling the resources of a wider region (e.g., transborder region), establishing a common labor market, and growing new growth industries together between cities and nations across the border are the major areas on which policy-mak-ers need to pay serious attention.

■Objective
The goal of this 13th international seminar on GIS is to derive implications for the promotion of Korea's GIS industry and the establishment of policy visions by reviewing and comparing industry trends, future strategies, plans, market sizes, and prospects of the GIS industry in various nations around the world.
■Brief Summary
The first presenter in the morning session was Professor Seong Jeongchang of the University of West Georgia. He spoke on the prospect of the GIS industry in the United States, introducing research findings of the Geospatial Information
& Technology Association(GITA). He identified areas where GIS is utilized the most, namely, electricity, water, gas, communication, and edu-cation. He claimed that even though the recent economic depression affects the GIS industry, it also works the other way around, i.e., the GIS
94KRIHS
industry can also be used to stimulate the econo-my. For instance, applying GIS in transportation and construction projects can help stimulate the national economy. Next, Dr. Hwang Jongsung, research fellow of NIA, gave a presentation on strategies for promoting Korea's GIS industry.
He specified three problems and strategies. The first problem is that most geographic informa-tion was produced by the public sector but was not shared. The second problem is the nature of the industrial structure; conglomerates have jumped into the geographic information market, impeding the growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises. The third problem is the lack of technology and manpower.
He advised that four strategies are needed to address these problems: increasing demand for geographic information; improving geographic information producing, distributing, and sharing practices; promoting the GIS industry; and pro-viding active support for R&D and advancement of the GIS industry overseas. In the afternoon ses-sion, Mr. Grame Kernich, deputy CEO of CRCSI, presented the prospect of the GIS industry in Aus-tralia. According to his presentation, the size of
the GIS industry reached $1.6 billion and about 100,000 personnel were directly or indirectly employed in the industry. Also, he stated that the Australian GIS industry would recover even though it experienced a temporary decline due to worldwide recession, with a projected annual growth rate of 10%.
The second speaker in the afternoon session was Professor Shibasaki Ryosuke of Tokyo Uni-versity in Japan. He shared Japanese case studies, focusing on 4D GIS infrastructure. Going beyond 3D geographic information service, Japan is offering a 4D service. A good example of a 4D geographic information service is user location or situation information service through mobile devices using augmented reality (AR) technolo-gies. Mr. Andrew Coote, director of Coote Con-sultingWhere Ltd. in the U.K, described the future and prospect of the U.K.'s geographic information market and said the future of the GIS industry lies in the participation of the private sector. He emphasized the importance of general users and claimed that the government can expedite growth of the GIS industry only when it adapts itself to this paradigm change. Mr. Richard Worsfold, director of OCE, gave a presentation on innova-tive measures. He described how remote explo-ration devices increase the efficiency of forest resource management and introduced the inno-vation brought about by Geomatics technology.
Participants and panelists exchanged various opinions on the government's role and collabora-tion with other industries for the progress of Korea's GIS industry.

■Objective
The goal of this international workshop is to review development potentials, visions, and international cooperation strategies for the Kore-an Peninsula.
■Brief Summary
In session I, Dr. Jeon Kyongmann of the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses gave a presentation on “The Role and Vision of the Korean Peninsula from a Geopolitical Perspective.” He pointed out that the Korean Peninsula should play a role of a
“bridge-builder” by using its geographical advan-tage and its status as a middle power to play such a role. In order to realize this vision, South Korea should consider playing the role of a “peace facil-itator", “openness facilfacil-itator", and “cooperation facilitator." In the next presentation titled “New Economic Order in East Asia and Economic Vision of the Korean Peninsula," Professor Oh Seungyul of the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies suggested that industrial clusters in the Korean Peninsula can be relocated or newly con-structed according to their comparative geo-graphic advantages to minimize transaction costs for merchandise and service exchanges in East Asia.
Three presentations were given in session II.
First, KRIHS senior research fellow Dr. Lee Sangjun and Dr. Kim Wonbae spoke on the vision of the Korean Peninsula and inter-Korean development strategies, based on the assumption that Korean economies would be reunited. Based on survey results and discussions at the round
table, “Network Power Korea" was adopted as the vision. It refers to Korea taking the leadership in coordinating and integrating Northeast Asia, based on its geo-political, geo-economic, and geo-cultural potential. In order to realize the vision of the Korean Peninsula, “World Class Korean Peninsula," “Integrated Korean Peninsu-la," “Networking Korean Peninsula", and “Green Korean Peninsula" were suggested as major strategies.
Dr. Scott Snyder gave the next presentation on the “The U.S. Strategies Regarding the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia." He pointed out that the Obama administration has been relative-ly slow in developing a specific policy toward North Korea but that it embraces two fundamen-tal principles in dealing with North Korea: 1) a firm belief in the efficacy, importance, and neces-sity of diplomacy; and 2) strong commitment to coordination, consultation, and cooperation with the United States’ allies and other partners in the region.
Finally, Professor Auton presented “The Korean Peninsula and Multilateral Security and Econom-ic Frameworks for Northeast Asia." He pointed out that multilateral mechanisms are essential for North Korea’s development and Northeast Asian security. Having said this, the U.S. role in the future will be less hegemonic, less preoccupied with regional “balancing," and less focused on promoting a “Washington Consensus" that has suffered perhaps a fatal blow since the end of 2007.
