This article evaluates the historical and constitutional significance of the Buma uprising from the standpoint that the Buma Democratic Uprising should be understood closely in relation to Kim Jae-gyu's October 26 uprising, and examines appropriate ways to honor the Buma uprising. Looking back on the history of the 1979 Buma Uprising, it was the beginning of the collapse of the Yushin regime, which was completed with the October 26 uprising. Given that there would have been no October 26 without the Buma uprising, and that the historical achievements of the Buma uprising would not have been recognized without the October 26, it is reasonable to combine the Buma uprising and the October 26 uprising into one ‘national resistance.’ Therefore, it can be evaluated that the Buma uprising and the October 26 uprising were the ‘democratic revolution’ as an exercise of resistance to the restoration of ‘liberal democracy’, and that it was the practice of ‘the mission of democratic reform of our country’ stipulated in the Preamble to the Constitution. Therefore, in the constitutional sense, the Buma Democratic Uprising should be defined as the democratic revolution’, that is, the ‘Buma Democratic Revolution’, which succeeded in overthrowing the Yushin dictatorship and restoring liberal democracy. In that sense, it is welcome to designate the Buma Democratic Uprising as a ‘national memorial day’ in 2020, but rather than just commemorating the protests in Busan and Masan, it is desirable to commemorate the ‘Buma Democratic Revolution’. The reason why we commemorate and honor democratic uprising is not only that it played an important role in the history of democratization, but also to make it an important historical example and lesson for people to continue to develop democracy. Therefore, honoring the democratic uprising is not just for the purpose of ‘compensating’ or ‘comforting’ the victim, but to allow future generations to ‘remember’ and ‘sympathize’ the event from a long historical perspective. Honoring people of national merit can be said to be an important constitutional task for the state. In addition, as ‘constitutional principles’ on honoring as a constitutional task, the principle of democracy, legalism of honoring, the principle of proportional honoring, and the principle of practical courtesy were presented. Although the legislator has the legislative discretion to determine the specific details of the ‘right to receive compensation’ as a way of courtesy, the legislator should make a courtesy law for the Buma Democratic Uprising in consideration of these constitutional honoring principles.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of exchange and cooperation in the inter-Korean border area by analyzing the situation of the border region in North Korea in more detail. As a result of checking the administration such as population, area, scope and traffic, climate and disasters to examine the status of the border region with North Korea, it was possible to explain the border region characteristically by classifying it into western, central, and eastern regions. At the First, it is the western border area. In the western border region, light industry based on the Kaesong Industrial District, tourism such as Wang Geonneung, agriculture in Baecheon-gun, and fishery in Yeonbaek-gun developed. In the western border region, industrial development in various fields was progressed due to the level of transportation infrastructure more developed than other border regions and its proximity to Pyongyang. Second, it is the central border area. In the central border region, the development of livestock farming policies in the Sepho district, which has been intensively underway since the Kim Jong-un era, was remarkable. The livestock industry and the livestock industry leading from Sephogun-Icheongun -Pyeongganggun are continuously developing under the direction of the Supreme Leader. Third, it is the eastern border area. In the eastern border region, with Mt. Geumgang as the center, tourism and fisheries were activated in the coastal region, and ecological and mining industries were developed in the inland region. Future plans for inter-Korean exchange and cooperation using the inter-Korean border are as follows. Firstly, in the western border region, it is necessary to present exchange and cooperation in light industry and tourism and sports industry by resuming the existing Kaesong Industrial Complex. Secondly, in the central border region, the livestock industry was more developed in both North and South Korea than in other regions, and in North Korea, livestock farming and livestock farming are systematized as a policy. Third, inter-Korean tourism cooperation is possible through the resumption of the existing Mt. Kumgang tourism cooperation in the eastern border region. In reality, the Mt. Kumgang tourism project can only be activated when tourism cooperation projects between South and North Korea are resumed. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to persuade the United States and the UN Security Council.
