In 2017, Koreans controlled 1,656 vessels with an aggregate tonnage of 80,976,874 deadweight (dwt), placing Korea as the world’s seventh largest shipowning country. Given that Korean-owned tonnage stood at just 1.3m dwt in 1970, this represented a remarkable rate of growth over less than half a century. This article focuses on the years from 1967 to 1999 and aims to prove that government policy was one of the key causal factors in the rapid increase in Korean shipping. The paper is organised into four main parts. In the first section, the role of the government in the development of the economy is assessed, while Section 2 focuses on state policies designed to promote the shipping industry in Korea. Section 3 highlights the rise of Korean shipping from 1967 to 1999, and the final part considers the wider implications of the role of government policy in the development of the shipping industry.

Abstract: From early in the Reformation, Protestant leaders viewed music as a powerful tool not only for educating their followers, but also for forging unity within diverse and dispersed communities. Such a belief found expression in official and unofficial religious contexts, and left its mark on printed devotional material, congregational hymn books, public policies of church authorities, and the musical activities of individual churches. At the same time, the manner in which a person accessed, experienced and produced music in a Reformation urban environment was conditioned as much by social factors such as age, gender, social station and personal contacts, as by confessional affiliation and policy. Using a corpus of previously unexploited sources from the Protestant city of Heidelberg, this article challenges the rhetorical and outdated binary notions of social ‘harmony’ and ‘discord’. It argues that music in a Reformation city — whether congregational song in churches, secular song in taverns, inns and streets, or domestic devotional song — could function as a powerful platform for emphasizing rather than dissolving a range of meaningful social differences, even as it created new kinds of unity across urban society.

Faz-se uma reflexão sobre redirecionamentos teórico-metodológicos à construção de ambientes urbanos mais humanos, sob parâmetros da sustentabilidade, discutindo perspectivas de enxergar, pensar e intervir na realidade territorial desses ambientes. Primeiramente, analisa-se a insustentabilidade dos ambientes urbanos de hoje. Em segundo lugar, resgata-se o conceito de sustentabilidade, em uma abordagem complexa e interdisciplinar. Por último, discute-se como se pode contribuir à construção de ambientes urbanos sustentáveis, apresentando dois exemplos de políticas públicas em Recife, que tentaram fazê-lo, mas que ainda não o conseguiram. A revisão da literatura sobre o assunto, com base em uma parte das reflexões teóricas e metodológicas encontradas em livros e artigos selecionados por nós, constituiu a principal fonte e material à realização deste trabalho. Palavras-chave: (In) Sustentabilidade, Ambientes urbanos, Complexidade, Interdisciplinaridade, Recife. The (Un) Sustainable of Human Life in Towns:New Theoretic and Methodologic Directions for Constructing Human Urban Environments ABSTRACT It points at new theoretical-methodical directions for constructing human urban environments, considering the parameters of sustainability, discussing a perspective of seeing, thinking and intervene in the urban reality. Firstly, it analyzes the current unsustainability of urban environments in towns. Secondly, it shows the concept of sustainability in its complex and interdisciplinary perspective. Lastly, it indicates two examples of public policies in Recife in order to contributing to thinking about the possibilities of a sustainable urban environment. The literature about this subject, based on a part of theoric and methodologic reflections found within books and scientific papers selected by us, provided the most important material and sources for this study. Keywords: (Un) Sustainability, Urban environments, Complexity, Interdisciplinarity, Recife.
