The aim of this paper is to explore the determinants of residents' settlements which are, at large, ignored rather than their research themes and concerns concentrate on the residential mobility by many researchers and planners. Poisson regression which has mostly used as method by count characteristics of data is employed for the excavation of correlations between objective length of residents' settlements and household characteristics, housing characteristics, neighborhoods characteristics on the basis of the community of Busan metropolitan city. The major findings are as follows; the variables to denote household in comparison with any other variables play a dominant role in the residents' settlements. Specially the older householders, lower income class and a single detached house's owners were likely to stay longer time at same place. Moreover residents who shared intimacy with neighborhoods and had their family within same community showed propensity to reside longer in their community. And it has shown that the determinants of the length of residence are a little different in accordance with the region's characteristics. The intimacy with their neighborhoods in Haeundae-Gu and Saha-Gu, the convenience on public service in Yeonje-Gu, and the solidarity with their family in Yongdo-Gu are more significant factors in the residents' settlements.

The policy interest in effective and environment-friendly management of idle farmland is growing recently, and, in particular, the conversion of marginal farmland to forest is receiving a great deal of attention as a policy option. For a successful implementation of conversion policy, however, the careful consideration on the legislative regulations on the conversion between farmland and forestland need to be proceeded. The purpose of this study is 1) to understand the legislative changes regarding the conversions of farmland and forestland under the land use zoning system, 2) to identify the barriers in converting farmland to forestland under the current zoning system, and 3) to derive some policy suggestions for the conversion of marginal farmland to forestland. We do not observe much conversions between farmland and forestland over the years and, in addition, discover that there have been few legislative obstacles in the conversion between farmland and forestland. This finding, we believe, is due to the fact that the most regulations have been focused to prevent farmland and/or forestland from converting to developed uses. Therefore, it is likely that the conversions between farmland and forestland have been affected by economic factors rather than the government regulations. Based on the our findings, we suggest some policies to facilitate the conversion to forestland. First, since the target of the policy is the marginal farmland, an effective instrument may be the policies that link current large- and/or small scale marginal farmland development projects to tree planting. Second, the direct economic incentives to landowners which induce voluntary afforestation may be one policy option. Lastly, different views on marginal farmland management between the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and Forest Service should be resolved for the most.

Coastal area is a specific area that contains different social elements and has various asking for the right to approach and use of resources and conflicts are occasionally happened. An effort was made in the meeting of United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio of Brazil in 1992: in relation to oceans and coasts, Intergrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) was considered necessary for continuable development of coasts and was asked to every country to include it in the plans of each country. Since Rio meeting, one of the worldwide activities was the effort for resolution of coast conflicts through Wise Coastal Practices for Sustainable Human Development (WiCoP) that was initiated since 1998 by UNESCO. Therefore, in this study, in consideration of the examples of areas where conflicts were resolved through WiCoP, the kinds coast conflicts and examples of resolutions in protective coastal area such as urban and industrial costal areas, non-urban coastal areas, and marine park were analyzed focused on Participatory Process and Consensus Building. Through this analysis, it was intended to identify the indications helpful in the establishment of coast management plan that is to be established and executed in future in our country also.
