The purpose of the present study intends to evaluate impacts of high-speed rail transit on population distribution in Korea. Does the initiation of the transit result in the population dispersion from such developed regions as Seoul or Busan? Does construction of high-speed rail transit lead to the reduced regional disparities in terms of population distribution? To answer these questions, we construct a spatial econometric model and simulation analyses are carried out for two alternative hypothetical scenarios of the rapid rail transit network of which the first step will be initiated in April, 2004 and the completion of the transit will be made in 2010. We found that cities linked to the rapid rail corridor have population gains, however, other regions remoted from the corridor expected to lose the net migration. The loss is predicted to be particularly serious for KangWon and Northern Jolla that are far distant from the main corridor. We also found that rural areas in all regions will be losers in net population migration. The present study concludes with suggesting some policy implications that may alleviate the disparities caused by the rapid rail transit.

This study intends to find out and analyze the designation of floor area ratio, the extent of satisfaction of the floor area ratio and the determinants of floor area ratio in the old city center and the new city center in Busan, Korea. In addition, it also aims to clarify influences of some factors on the extent to which the floor area ratio is fulfilled. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1) Among buildings in the new city center of Busan, the highest realization ratio (0.61) was obtained from those built with an average floor area realization ratio of 0.51 and a legal floor area ratio of 1100 percent. In case of the old city center, the buildings with an average floor area realization ratio of 0.58 and a legal floor area ratio of 800 percent showed the highest realization ratio (0.61). 2) In the new city center, the item of front-road width has the greatest influence on the floor area realization ratio the width of front road. As the category score for the front road width (026 meters) shows a positive value, the category is considered as contributing to increasing the average of realization ratios. 3) For the size of site, posted land prices and ownership, the items have different influence in the new city center and the old city center. 4) In the planning of reviewing or resetting of floor area ratio, considered as the influencing factors on the realization ratio should be the front road width, the using purpose of buildings and posted land prices in the new city center, and the front road width, posted land prices and the size of site in the old city center.

It is necessary for National Geographic Information Clearinghouse to provide service of more various geographic information utilizing the private sector investment and creative mind in production and circulation of geographic information. In this study, we suggested participation method that the private sector cooperates with the public. The shape of participation that the private sector participates to National Geographic Information Clearinghouse must become method that the private sector cooperates together with the public than concept of under private management that entrust some function to the private sector. On the assumption that the private sector can have complementary relationship to the public, in this study, we suggested participation method by role division of the public and the private sector. Through the role division by each forte can grow up, the importance of cooperation between the public and the private sector will be increased. If the role division will be achieved, participation effect of the public and the private sector can be maximized.
