Understanding the identity of an urban space is one of the most important considerations for spatial planners and designers, who are charged with revealing and strengthening the space’s sense of place. However, in many cases, an urban space is regarded merely as a physical form, lacking an interpretation of various semantics, such as its history, political economy, social culture, and art. The purpose of this study is to investigate how an urban space evolves, and thus, how the social images of urban spaces can be recognized with Lefebvre’s theory. Therefore, we examine an urban district to reveal the interaction between societies and spaces through images reflected in news media and public articles, and eventually define the identity of the space. This study takes Yeonnam-dong district as its case, and carefully examines the social relations affecting spatial practices in the area by means of Lefebvre’s spatial triad: representation of space, representational space, and spatial practice. Using historical observation as a research method, we conducted a case review of Yeonnam-dong over 40 years (from 1975 to 2016). The results indicate that there have been complicated power dynamics and struggles to form the current image of Yeonnam-dong, which is still an ongoing process; this exemplifies Lefebvre's notion of the social construction of spaces. The results provide meaningful lessons for planners and designers that they should play important roles as coordinators in radical spatial changes. One of the major limitations of this study is that it does not fully examine the detailed roles of each social entity in the landscape changes, which should be investigated in further studies.

한국의 사회, 문화유산이 녹아있는 서울의 문화적 가치를 재현함에 있어 장인의 기여가 현대에 와서는 크게 부각되지 않고 있다. 우리 사회의 많은 디자인에 장인의 감각과 능력이 눈에 보이지 않게 중요한 기초가 되었다. 서울시가 주최한 상암동 평화의 공원에서 개최된 서울정원박람회에서 새로운 정원디자인의 목표에 접근하는 방법으로 장인들의 작업 속에 나타나는 전통문화의 해석과 공간적인 특성을 통해 표현하고자 하였다. 서울 장인정원 설계는 전통적인 서울문화를 장인의 개념을 통해 상징적으로 함축하여 공간적인 의미를 전달하는 것에 초점을 맞추었다. 정원에서는 사람으로서의 장인, 그들이 사용하였던 도구, 그들이 만든 공예품, 그들의 이미지를 자연으로 드러내는 4개의 장인 문화에 대한 층위개념을 설정하였다. 자연으로서 정원의 그라스와 꽃은 대비효과를 위해 큰 원형의 안과 밖에서 상호 관계 되도록 하였다. 장인의 상징적인 이미지와 자연과의 관계에서 공예품의 배경으로 그라스를 사용하고 시각적인 오브제로서 관목 파티션의 반복과 꽃을 사용하였다. 이 설계의 메타포는 강한 시각적 호기심을 끌 수 있는 독특한 해법이며 따라서 정원의 방문자에게 서울 장인 정원의 상징적인 의미를 제공하게 된다.

Fuzzy information representation of multi-source spatial data is applied to landslide hazard mapping. Information representation based on frequency ratio and non-parametric density estimation is used to construct fuzzy membership functions. Of particular interest is the representation of continuous data for preventing loss of information. The non-parametric density estimation method applied here is a Parzen window estimation that can directly use continuous data without any categorization procedure. The effect of the new continuous data representation method on the final integrated result is evaluated by a validation procedure. To illustrate the proposed scheme, a case study from Jangheung, Korea for landslide hazard mapping is presented. Analysis of the results indicates that the proposed methodology considerably improves prediction capabilities, as compared with the case in traditional continuous data representation.

Robots need to understand as much as possible about their environmental situation and react appropriately to any event that provokes changes in their behavior. In this paper, we pay attention to topological relations between spatial objects and propose a model of robotic cognition that represents and infers temporal relations. Specifically, the proposed model extracts specified features of the co-occurrence matrix represents from disparity images of the stereo vision system. More importantly, a habituation model is used to infer intrinsic spatial relations between objects. A preliminary experimental investigation is carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method under real test condition.

국내산지사면의 토양수분 시공간적 분포상황을 파악하기 위한 토양수분 측정법을 개발하였다. 대상유역을 정밀 측량하여 수치고도모형을 구성한 다음 흐름분배 알고리즘을 적용하였고 역측랑을 통한 대상 유역의 흐름분배 알고리즘의 유의성을 판단하였다. 이를 통한 공간적 변화의 대표성을 최대화하기 위한 장기 모니터링 시스템을 구축하였으며, 토양수분의 정확한 측정을 위해 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하였다. 측정은 설마천 유역의 범륜사 우
