The Busan-Ulsan Metropolitan Area,centered on the harbor cities of Busan and Ulsan,is the Republic of Korea's second-largest metropolitan area in terms of population and is the country's second-most developed region as well. [1] It is also an industrial region for shipbuilding,international trade,and heavy industries,such as car making and chemical production. [2] [3]
The Southeastern Maritime Industrial Region is one of South Korea's chief industrial centers. [4] Only the Capital Metropolitan Area,located around Seoul,is more advanced. This region began to grow as an international centre for commerce and industrial power in the late 1970s,during which the South Korean government began to introduce national development plans to spur South Korean industry. The results were shocking:within a decade,small fishing wharves like Busan and Ulsan grew into densely populated cities with over two million people each. Meanwhile,industries like car manufacturing and shipbuilding,never heard of before in South Korea,progressed ahead with ferocious speed.
Today,the Southeastern Maritime Industrial Region is made up of several industrial cities,all with a special local industry. Ulsan,Geoje,and Busan,all major international ports,especially the latter,which is the world's third-largest trading harbor in terms of total cargo volume,specialize in car manufacturing and shipbuilding. For instance,in 1999,Korean shipbuilding companies based here,such as Hyundai Heavy Industries,Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering,and Samsung Heavy Industries overtook Japanese shipbuilding firms as the world's best (). Especially in Ulsan,where heavy industries make up most of the city's revenue,Hyundai Auto and other automobile companies are slowly taking leading positions in the global society.
In other cities,such as Pohang and Changwon,steel and oil refining is particularly advanced. Pohang itself is the seat of POSCO,the Korean steel giant,while Changwon is the capital of South Gyeongsang Province. Finally,in Gimhae and Gyeongju,tourism is very popular,as Gyeongju was the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom,while Gimhae was the capital of the Gaya Kingdom. [5]
Gimhae International Airport (Korean: 김해국제공항) is located on the western end of Busan,South Korea. Opened in 1976,the airport is named after the nearby city of Gimhae. A new international terminal opened on October 31,2007. Gimhae International Airport is the main hub for Air Busan,and a secondary hubfocus city for Asiana Airlines and Korean Air. Runway 18L/36R is used for military purposes only for Gimhae Air Base,but due to increasing traffic,there are plans to open the runway for airliners. In 2018,17,064,613 passengers used the airport.
South Gyeongsang Province is a province in the southeast of South Korea. The provincial capital is at Changwon. It is adjacent to the major metropolitan center and port of Busan. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Haeinsa,a Buddhist temple that houses the Tripitaka Koreana and tourist attraction,is located in this province. Automobile and petrochemical factories are largely concentrated along the southern part of the province,extending from Ulsan through Busan,Changwon,and Jinju.
Ulsan,officially the Ulsan Metropolitan City,is South Korea's seventh-largest metropolitan city and the eighth-largest city overall,with a population of over 1.1 million inhabitants. It is located in the south-east of the country,neighboring Busan to the south and facing Gyeongju to the north.
