  • Reimagining Island Culture

    Open Access•Sun-Kee Hong, Jae-Eun Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2026

    Islands have long been framed as peripheral, isolated, and vulnerable spaces. This paper argues instead that island cultures constitute central sites for rethinking human–environment relations in the twenty-first century. Drawing on six interconnected analytical lenses—biocultural diversity, islandness, social–ecological systems, commons and community resilience, archipelagic thinking, and place-based knowledge—the study synthesizes multidiscipli…

  • Institutionalizing Benefit-Sharing in an Island Energy Transition

    Open Access•Sung-Hyun Park, Sun-Kee Hong•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2026

    This study examines the legitimacy and institutional sustainability of Shinan County’s renewable energy benefit-sharing system in South Korea from the perspective of a just transition. Moving beyond viewing benefit-sharing as a mere compensatory or distributive policy, the study conceptualizes it as a rule-constituted governance mechanism grounded in commons-based resource use. By integrating institutional analysis with the three core dimensions …

  • Anthropocene Era, Comparative Studies on Island Biocultural Diversity and Island Biocultural Landscape

    Open Access•Sun-Kee Hong, Jae‐Eun Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2026

    This study explores the link between island biocultural diversity and biocultural landscapes within the context of the Anthropocene. It offers a conceptual framework for understanding sustainability transitions in island regions. Moving beyond traditional island studies that view islands mainly as peripheral and vulnerable, this paper suggests that islands should be seen as strategic social–ecological spaces where changes in human–nature relation…

  • Maritime Jurisdiction and Sea Boundary Delimitation around Small Offshore Islands

    Open Access•Sung-Hyun Park, Sun-Kee Hong•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2025

    The Sasudo sea area, located between Wando-gun in Jeollanam-do and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, consists of a small island and its surrounding waters long used as a key coastal fishery ground. The Constitutional Court’s 2005Hun-Ra11 decision confirmed Jeju’s administrative jurisdiction over the island itself but expressly left unresolved the question of jurisdiction over the broader adjacent waters. This created a structural legal vacuum…

  • Distribution of Freshwater Plant Communities and Halophytes in Coastal Region, Muan-gun, South Korea

In simple regression, the relationships between PSR and distance to the mainland, longitude and latitude were significant at the 5% level. When distance incr…

  • Historical, Geographical, and Biocultural Values of ‘Doksal’, Korean Stone Tidal Weirs

    Open Access•G H van der Lee, Jae‐Eun Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2023•References: 2

    The sea is a space where ‘humans, materials, and information’ come and go. Given the abundant resources it provides, the sea has been significant in human culture until the present day. In particular, humans have made great advances in technological development and knowledge acquisition in relation to the use of fishing grounds. A characteristic example is the use of stone tidal weirs, a traditional fishing method that utilizes tidal differences …

  • Biocultural Diversity and Islandness

    Open Access•Sun-Kee Hong•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2023•References: 7

    Humans have long utilized the surrounding landscape and organisms as life resources and developed new species of organisms through cultivation. The utilization of biodiversity has played a vital role in advancing human culture, specifically regarding food and habitation. This accumulated knowledge on the ecosystem has transcended geographical boundaries of rivers, mountains, and seas, spreading to other countries where it has been adjusted or ado…

  • Living Tool Diversity (LTD) along Environmental and Population Gradients in Shinan-gun, South Korea

  • Changes and Chaos in Islands and Seascapes

    Open Access•Sun-Kee Hong, Jae‐Eun Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2022•References: 1

    Besides the great burden that has been placed on the world by the COVID-19 pandemic, radical climate change is causing natural disasters in every corner of the world. According to the IPCC’s most recent report, rising global temperatures already have very negative impacts beyond our expectation. The main cause of this lies in human activities that drive global population growth, ongoing urbanization, excessive use of natural resources, and so on.…

  • Living Tool Diversity (LTD) along Environmental and Population Gradients in Shinan-gun, South Korea

    Open Access•Kyoung-Hoon Yang, Sun-Kee Hong et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 1

    To measure influences of environmental factors and population on Living Tool Diversity (LTD) in 10 islands of Shinan-gun, the number of living tools was determined. Correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed. Results showed that coastline length and population were positively related to LTD and thus, island size and human dynamics. PCA results showed that living tools could be cl…
