The 15th Korea-China-Japan Joint Conference on Geography

• Accessibility to Isolation Beds in Seoul Considering Population Characteristics

Presenting on the topic 'Accessibility to Isolation Beds in Seoul Considering Population Characteristics,' I was honored with an award at The 15th Korea-China-Japan Joint Conference on Geography. The study focused on assessing the accessibility of isolation beds in Seoul, taking into account various population characteristics. This recognition highlights the significance of the research in contributing valuable insights to the fields of healthcare planning and infrastructure optimization, particularly in the context of isolation bed accessibility for diverse demographic groups in Seoul.

• Analysis of Accessibility of Negative Pressure and General Isolation Rooms in the Seoul Metropolitan Area

• Awards-Related Article [Link]

The analysis revealed minimal regional differences in accessibility to Negative Pressure Isolation Rooms (NPIRs) when using the resident population as a criterion. However, a notable contrast in accessibility emerged when assessing the elderly population and individuals infected with COVID-19. This finding highlighted substantial regional variations in accessibility based on specific demographic factors. The presentation provided valuable insights into the uneven distribution of healthcare resources, emphasizing the importance of tailoring infrastructure to meet the distinct needs of diverse demographic groups in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

2018 Annual Conference of Korean Geographical Society

• Location Assessment of Heat Wave and Shade Shelters and Suggestion of Location in Seoul

At the 2018 Annual Conference of the Korean Geographical Society, I presented a poster titled 'Location Assessment of Heat Wave and Shade Shelters and Suggestion of Location in Seoul.' The presentation focused on evaluating the locations of heat waves and shade shelters in Seoul. The study aimed to enhance the understanding of optimal shelter placements, contributing valuable insights for improving the city's preparedness for extreme heat conditions. This poster presentation was honored with an award, recognizing the significance of the research in the field of geographical studies.

I assessed the suitability of heat shelter locations for the elderly in Seoul during the summer, with a focus on enhancing accessibility. I evaluated the placement of canopies near crosswalks, considering the prevalence of walking. The assessment included calculating the sun's angle at different times of the day to gauge the effectiveness of these canopies in providing shade. The research aimed to optimize heat shelter locations and canopy installations, ultimately improving accessibility and effectiveness for the elderly during Seoul's summer months.

Esri Korea Map Contest

• New Location for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea

I participated in the ESRI map contest and secured second place with my submission on 'New Locations for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea.' Through a detailed analysis of existing AED locations, I identified areas with low accessibility. By proposing additional installation sites for AEDs, I presented comprehensive recommendations to enhance overall accessibility. This project aimed to contribute to public safety and emergency response in Dongdaemun-gu by strategically placing AEDs in locations that optimize coverage and response times.
