This study aims to identify effects of govern-ment's various green territorial policies on the national territory and thereby, help establish spe-cific countermeasures to reduce carbon emission.
Main results of this research are as follows: Using the CGE model, this study applies the European carbon tax system considering macroeconomic variables of the future such as national economic prices, GDP, production and export. When the carbon tax is applied, the prices increased by 0.08%~0.56% and the GDP decreased by 0.19%~0.83%. Carbon reduction ratio reached 2.16%~4.54%, which is similar to the govern-ment's target ratio of 4%~8%.
Using a multi regional input-out model, this study established three national carbon reduction scenarios. The first scenario is allowing the increase of carbon emission by 8% from 2005.
The second scenario is maintaining the 2005 car-bon emission level, and the third scenario is reducing the emission rate by 4%. In Korea, the total amount of carbon emission reaches 87,693 thousand tons, out of which 30,694 thousand tons, 35% of the total, are released from the Seoul Metropolitan Area. Scenario one and two had negative effects on the Seoul metropolitan area and industrial sites. Even though the gross national product increased on both scenarios, the
carbon emission also increased. To reduce carbon emission, many areas need to be improved first before implementing any strategies. The govern-ment should also make efforts to create eco-friendly industrial and living environments.

This research is part of a three year project launched in 2008 to set up climate change and sustainable land management strategies. The first year research analyzed regional characteristics and estimation of greenhouse gas emissions by region. The second year research(2009) covers policies for the alleviation and adaptation to cli-mate change according to regional situations based on past and future climate data.
The purpose of the second year research is to suggest “customized" regional policy themes and categorize regions based on the analysis of vul-nerable structure by region. Another goal is to suggest the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and regional characteristic indicators.
To suggest “customized" regional policy themes, this research largely takes three steps. The first step is to categorize regions. The second step is to identify vulnerability of each region and its cur-rent capability to adapt to climate change. The last step is to provide policy themes by region that should be promoted for emission mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
The regions are categorized into A, B, C and D depending on the size, location, and the relation-ship between per capita greenhouse gas emission and regional characteristic indicators. The VIRP
Model categorized regional characteristics by classifying vulnerability and adaptability of administrative units such as Si, Gun, and Gu.
The importance of this research lies in suggest-ing the mitigation policy by region by classifysuggest-ing regions according to their regional characteristic indicators. The greenhouse gas emissions is caused by different factors in each region. Thus, it is important to elicit major factors affecting greenhouse gas emissions. The first year research divided four type of regions based on the inven-tory of indicators affecting greenhouse gas emis-sions and suggested the mitigation policy by region.

This study systematically analyzed the impact of climate change on a city. First, experts from vari-ous fields are consulted to identify components of a city, and an analysis is performed to identify the potential impact of climate change on each component (e.g., citizens and urban facilities).
Based on the result, urban spaces and factors vul-nerable to climate change are identified and the damage examined. This study will serve as basic data for creating countermeasures against climate change.
In this study, cities are classified according to city locations and land use characteristics, and using previous data, coastal and inland areas are analyzed and the elements vulnerable to climate change are identified based on data on flood and drought damages, average and highest tempera-tures, and the amount of precipitation. Finally, the impact of climate change on each type of city was analyzed.
Meanwhile, the study seek to establish an effective approach for responding to climate change based on the analysis of the impact of cli-mate change on cities and review of local and international adaptation techniques. In addition, by analyzing the difference between previous dis-asters and disdis-asters due to climate change, new disaster prevention strategies and policy tasks are
suggested.
In conclusion, the purpose of this study is to establish effective adaptation strategies for popu-lation and infrastructures where the impact of cli-mate change is most severely felt. This study focuses on clarifying where and how climate change impacts cities and the areas that are vul-nerable. It is expected that the central govern-ment and local governgovern-ments will utilize the result of the study to set up the direction for improving the countermeasures against climate change.

Green growth refers to a virtuous cycle between economic development and environmental con-servation. It should be accomplished by green economy, green environment, and green society.
Green growth involves all three areas, and poli-cies need to be established for all three. It is espe-cially necessary to establish territorial policies and visions that incorporate the concept of green economy, green environment, and green society.
Green economy, green environment, and green society are all inter-related, and synergy and vir-tuous cycle need to be created among these. In this research, accomplishing green society is con-sidered as the foremost priority. The government should put priority in the construction of social infrastructures to achieve green society. Green growth refers to achieving economic develop-ment and improvedevelop-ment of life through green technology. Along with these three core areas, nine green growth objectives are suggested in this study. The government should in build social infrastructures through green life, green coopera-tion, and green thinking. Green growth is a sys-tem that creates a virtuous cycle between envi-ronment and economy and accomplishes eco-nomic development and improvement of life by green technology. The three core areas and nine detailed objectives for green growth are suggested
in this research.
This research also suggests six policies that need be promoted in the field of territory as terri-tory is the spatial foundation for green growth.
However, there are many areas that need to be improved in the field of construction, transporta-tion, energy industry, resource reuse and recy-cling, water resource and disaster prevention, and institutional measures. Perhaps, this research is the first research on green growth to suggest policies and specific objectives for the territorial field. To accomplish these objectives, concrete implementation strategies need to be developed.
