This basic course on environmental studies will provide theories to cultivate in students a good eye for understanding environmental problems in overall systems and examine whether these theories include natural and human-sociologic aspects. Moreover, it will help students to investigate various opinions and to practice conceptualization and to test the possibility of quantification because there is no consistent definition of environmental systems.

Proving causality is the essential component of research with scientific rigor. Even in social sciences, various experimental and quasi-experimental policy evaluation methods to analyze causal effects of a specific project, program, and policy have been actively introduced. This course examines the theoretical framework for causal inference and introduces impact evaluation methods such as randomized controlled trials, instrumental variable, difference-in-differences, panel fixed effects and regression discontinuity design which effectively overcome the limitations of correlation analysis. The replication practices of the previous impact evaluation research with a statistical software package aim to improve practical understanding of impact evaluation methods and to introduce the basic methodological knowledge to students who are interested in evaluating the impact of urban and social innovation programs/policies.

The principal objective of the lecture is to build the students’ capacity of quantitative prediction and assessment of chemical contamination in complex environmental systems by providing i) understanding of concepts and principles of the environmental fate and transport of hazardous chemicals and ii) experiences in model building and modeling exercise.

In addition, practical training including theory education is operated for more than 4 weeks, and the fields and institutions for practice are provided by the professor in charge.

The studio course deals with diverse ranges of spaces from private space to semi-public space. This course emphasizes the spatial compositional details such as material, facility and planting while considering people’s understanding of experiencing the outdoor space.

This course aims at exploring alternative approaches revolving around feminist critiques to urban planning.The course introduces the ways ‘the urban’ has been constructed materially and culturally through gendered power relations and practices, and explores alternative ideas. Recent approaches to urban planning including, but not limited to, feminist approaches argue that not only the material and discursive foundations of modern cities, but also the studies of them themselves have been gendered and sexualized. They even maintains the research focus needs to go beyond gender and to explore the ways other axes of identities intersected with gender produce complex power geometry and different lived experiences particularly by‘the Others.’This course introduces these alternative approaches and how they have been incorporated and practiced in the fields of urban planning. The topics include historical contexts in and through which the urban has been gendered from its design and construction to the accessibility to and the representations of it, the interpretations of empirical cases, different urban experiences by the vulnerable including women, children, sexual minority, the disabled, etc., and planning efforts that have either amplified or attempted to mitigate such inequality.

This course will investigate the theories and principles of geographic information systems (GIS) and cultivate students’ ability to use GIS and spatial decision support systems. It will be divided into two parts. The first part will cover topics in the fundamentals of GIS, construction of geographic DB’s, spatial analysis methodologies, spatial decision support systems, and status of national and urban GIS development projects in Korea. In the latter part of the course, students will improve their ability to use GIS as an essential part of spatial decision support systems.

Infrastructure is a key factor in enhancing quality of life and productivity. From the beginning of modern urban planning to recent urban growth management and sustainable planning, the class first reviews changes in roles and contents of infrastructure planning. Afterwards it goes into details in infrastructure planning: infrastructure demand estimation, cost-benefit analysis to decide feasibility of infrastructure investment, infrastructure financing(taxation, various fees, private sector capital), infrastructure for growth management, infrastructure and urban and regional economy, Korea’s institution relating to infrastructure.

This course makes plans and designs with the purpose of solving urban and environmental problems of specific area in developing countries. It identifies area-specific planning issues ranged from shortage in urban housing and infrastructure, environmental degradation and pollution to disaster, and designs problem-solving process taking advantage of local wisdom. The final output of the course includes plans for urban development/management and housing supply, transportation and infrastructure plans, environment and energy plans, urban design, and landscape planning and design.

Logistics is an industry that connects manufacturing and distribution, so its importance is agreed that it supports smooth connection among stakeholders in a supply chain. Due to the globalization of the manufacturing industry, the supply chain is expanding all over the world, so does the area of logistics. In addition, logistics has grown actively along with global economic development, and its importance is also increasing even through disasters, wars, and diseases since it plays a key role in those situations. So, to understand the logistics industries, it is essential to understand the international logistics field where many supply chains are connected. In this course, we aim to improve the overall understanding of international transportation and logistics processes. First, the concepts and basic characteristics of international logistics and their environments are introduced. And the characteristics of each major transportation mode and its international environment are presented. International multimodal transportation which accounts for the largest portion of international logistics is also presented. Lastly, we will forecast the changes that the global logistics industry will face with the 4th industrial revolution, and discuss the direction the logistics industry should develop.

This course is an overview of the theories and practices of planning and development at the urban, regional, national and international levels as both the profession and professional practitioners face new challenges posed by the forces of globalization crossing geographic, national and institutional borders in an increasingly urban world. It seeks to understand these challenges as it explores issues of spatial planning, economic development, environmental policy, housing, transport, and social inclusion. The impacts and development of planning globally will therefore be looked at through a different prism, especially in the developing world, where most of the growth is and continues to be. Evolution of development paradigms will be reviewed. It will examine the role, structure of institutions, the public sector and non-governmental organizations, as well as the roles of international development aid agencies and external institutions, and the various types of organizations that support them internally both at the local and national levels within these countries.

The course aims at improving the professional competence and problem solving capacity based on real world experience through practical training of public agency, research institution, NGO, consulting firm, etc across the domestic and the abroad. The students should learn the knowledge and acquire the techniques in the workplace within the training period. The course credit will be given based on the internship report and open presentation.

This is an introductory course to intelligent eco-science to help students acquire basic knowledge that can scientifically solve environmental problems in our society using the element technologies of the 4th industrial revolution. This class focuses on evidence-based and preemptive approaches rather than solving environmental problems based on previous experiences and post-analysis. The detailed content is theoretical education related to intelligent sensing and monitoring, intelligent big data analysis, and intelligent environmental service. The class is conducted through convergence lectures by domestic and foreign professors and industry experts in the field of intelligent eco-science.

This course introduces graduate-level students to fundamental ideas of urban design and how cities are developed and modified. After reviewing the brief history of urban design, we will examine a number of urban forces that have influenced the characteristics of built environments, such as: public policy, social forces, ideology of justice, public desires, market forces and developer’s visions, functional efficiency and aesthetics, urban morphology, and the adaptability of cities. More specifically, urban design themes such as urban regeneration of shrinking cities and the making of healthy/resilient cities will be investigated.

This class examines planning issues for and in the age of Unified Korea. It assumes that the two Koreas will be unified after experiencing North Korea’s transformation and economic cooperation between North and South Korea. The focus of the class is how to prepare the Unified Korea in terms of planning. For the purpose, various issues including the speed of economic transformation in North Korea, privatization, migration, urban growth management will be dealt in depth. Comparative studies on Eastern Europe, Germany, and China are especially emphasized to enhance students’ understanding.

This course aims at enhancing planners’ capabilities to understand various land and housing policies and make a value judgement on their planning implications. It critically examines a variety of legislations and regulations related to land and housing markets, price system, transaction and ownership, urban development and redevelopment for housing supply, taxation and fees, housing unit size and tenure, and affordable housing and social welfare.

This course examines theories and methodologies of land use planning, which constitutes the core of urban planning. Major topics include the rationales of public intervention into land uses in the market, prediction of land use demand resulted from various urban activities, location allocation based upon planners’ value judgement on desirable spatial structure, and policy instruments to implement land use planning.
