nachdem die Eisenbahn im Jahre 1914 fertiggestellt wurde. Daejeon liegt an einer wichtigen
Kreuzung.
Während des Koreakriegs war Daejeon vorübergehend die Hauptstadt von Südkorea und etwa 70%
der Stadt wurden völlig zerstört. Daejeon wuchs später als ein Zentrum von Textilindustrie,
Maschinenbau und chemischer Industrie. In Daejeon befindet sich die Chungnam-Nationaluniversität
sowie das Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology.
Yusong liegt etwas zehn Kilometer nordwestlich von Daejeon und ist bekannt für seine heißen
Quellen.

Daejeon ( listen (help·info); Korean pronunciation: [tɛdʑʌn]) is located in the center of South Korea. It
is the fifth largest city in South Korea, with a population of 1,442,856 at the end of 2005.[1] It is at the
crossroads of Gyeongbu railway, Honam railway, Gyeongbu Expressway, and Honam Expressway.
Within the city limits lies Daedeok Science Town, an area with more than 200 research institutions.
History
National Government Complex, Daejeon.
The Daejeon area was historically known as Hanbat (한밭), a native Korean term for "large field",
during the Joseon Dynasty. The term "Daejeon" simply means the same thing in Hanja.
Historically, Daejeon was a small village without many residents.[not specific enough to verify]
However, in 1905, the Gyeongbu railway began operations from Seoul to Busan, opening a station at
Daejeon. Soon after, in 1926, under rule of the Japanese government, the Honam railway was built
between Daejeon and Mokpo, transforming the latter into a major transportation hub.[verification
needed] Because of its geographical location and proximity to means of transportation, Daejeon grew
quickly.
In 1932, the capital of Chungnam province was moved from Gongju to Daejeon. Since then numerous
changes have been made to the city boundaries. Among the boundary modifications include one that
Daejeon

effectively made the nearby town of Daedeok a part of the city in 1983. Daejeon was designated in
1995 as a metropolitan city.
In 1997, the Daejeon Government Complex was constructed as part of an effort to move some
government offices away from the densely populated capital, Seoul.[2] The population of Daejeon
increased dramatically as a result.[3]
Today, Daejeon's population growth is the second highest in the country, after Seoul, resulting in a
large number of new apartment complex projects and high-tech industries in Yuseong-gu.[dubious –
discuss]
Geography
Daejeon lies between latitudes N36°10'50" to N36°29'47" and longitudes E127°14'54" to E127°33'21"
near the middle of South Korea. It is 167.3 km from Seoul, 294 km from Busan and 169 km from
Gwangju. Sejong City, which is planned to be the new administrative capital of South Korea, will also
be close by.[citation needed] The city is surrounded by several mountains, and Gyeryongsan National
Park straddles the city border to the west. Three streams which eventually join with Geum River,
called Gapcheon (갑천), Yudeungcheon (유등천), and Daejeoncheon (대전천), flow through the city
from south to north.
The middle of the city or the new central business district called Dunsan is where the effort has
manifested itself. Newer apartment complexes, albeit structurally similar to that of the rest of the city,
sprung up around the new government structures being constructed concurrently in just a few short
years starting from the mid-1990s. Newer municipal buildings including the city's courts and the
province's main parliamentary building soon followed. The result is a several square mile
neighbourhood full of restaurants, standard Korean western-type bars and coffee shops. The area is a
place for the workers of the new Daejeon to live close to their offices, most able to walk to work, and
dine and shop in a new urban environment.[citation needed]
Education
Being known as the Silicon Valley of Korea, Daejeon is home of various private and public Research
Institutes, Centers and Science parks (i.e. R&D centers of Samsung, LG, Korea University of Science
and Technology & others are located within Daedeok Science Town in Yuseong-gu.
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is an institution of higher education focused
on research in science and technology, and was ranked as the best Asian science and technology
school by Asiaweek in 2000.[5] Daejeon Science High School, which is a selective high school
focused on teaching science.[6]
Chungnam National University, a major national university established for the South Chungcheong
province, and Pai Chai University, which is one of the oldest private universities in South Korea, are
also located within the city.
Hannam University, located in O-Jeong Dong, is another university in the city. It has plans to expand
its campus in the next couple years as it has purchased neighboring Taejon Christian International
School.
Research and Development
Daejeon features a technology cluster known as Daedeok Innopolis defined by the national
Universities KAIST and Chungnam National University and surrounded by government research
institutes, government-invested corporate research institutes, corporate research centers and venture
companies. The mutual stimulation and cooperation between these communities produces remarkable
innovation and commercialization of available technologies. When the Boston Consulting Group
released recently a list of nations leading in innovation, Korea was ranked number two, just below
Singapore.
Daedeok Innopolis derives its power from its ability to effectively innovate, an organic and fluid
ecosystem for creativity . The research institutes and universities in Daedeok Valley have spun off
multiple start-ups and continue to do so at a remarkable pace. Korea has invested heavily in building
up both the research expertise for over thirty years, creating long-term research programs of scale and
depth. There are over seven thousand with Ph.Ds in the sciences in Daedeok and state-of-the-art
infrastructure is in place that enables Daedeok to play a leading role in the world.
The engine driving Daedeok is the organic circulation of ideas about technology and business
between policy makers, researchers and businessmen working in the fields of telecommunications,

nanofabrication, biotechnology, water, nuclear and hydro power, nuclear fusion, design, measurement
technologies, mechanical engineering, fuel cells, aeronautics, new materials, robotics, new drugs and
environmental technologies. Daedeok is exceptionally well endowed in all these fields and is
expanding its international ties rapidly. Daedeok Innopolis' membership includes 898 corporations, 35
government invested and sponsored institutions; 6 universities; 15 public organizations.
Among Daedeok Innopolis' universities KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology)
is considered the top technical university in Korea. Strong fields at KAIST include computer science,
electrical and nuclear engineering, mechanical design, chemistry and telecommunications. The
national university Chungnam University also plays a central role in those fields, but brings also
focused expertise in biotechnology, medicine and the agricultural sciences. These universities are
complemented by such outstanding universities as Hanbat University (a leader in IT), Pai Chai
University, Hannam University, Mokwon University and Woosong University.
Research institutes in Daedeok include the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology
(KRIBB), the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), Electronic and Telecommunications
Research Institute (ETRI), the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), National Fusion Research
Institute, National Nanofab Center, Korean Basic Science Research Institute, Korea Institute of

technology produced in Daedeok are ETRI's wireless communications systems CDMA, WIBRO &
DMB, KRIBB's nano biochips, KARI's KOMPSTAT satellites and NFRI's KSTAR nuclear fusion
reactor.
Daedeok is also home to twenty-one corporate research centers with global reach surrounded by an
equal number at smaller firms. Some of the notable corporate research centers are Dongbu Advanced
Research Institute, (biotechnology, microorganisms and agrichemicals), GS-Caltex Value Creation
Center (environmentally friendly products including substitutes for oil), Hanwha Chemical Research
(biotechnology, electronics materials, catalysts & nanotechnology), Honam Petrochemical Daeduk
Research Institute (synthetic chemistry & petrochemicals), LG Chemical LTD. Research Park (Lithium
Ion Battery & Polymer Battery Development), Samyang R&D Center (medical Research and
electronics) and SK Institute of Technology (petroleum-related research).
Also such public corporation research institutes as Korea Electric Power Research Institute
(hydroelectric projects and nuclear energy), Korea Institute of Construction Materials (authorized test
agency for construction materials), Korea Institute of Aerospace Technology (aerospace design,
satellites, launch technologies) are also part of the Daedeok ecosystem.
The cross-fertilization between research fields in Daedeok encourages innovation and collaboration.
Over the last 15 years, venture companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain,
numbering over 800 at last count. Some of those companies have gone on to become major players
and others are coming of age today.
The city supports one of the fastest developing business communities with a strong emphasis on
technological innovation. The recently opened Daedeok Techno Valley on the north side of town
brings together research with light manufacturing to create a unique environment for R&D. The
universities and research institutes have set up venture firms here to explore new applications of their
technologies. More recently, Daejeon's ACTS (Agency of Advanced Cultural Technologies and
Services) has become a Mecca for multimedia entertainment and film. In October of 2009 a new
Daedeok Innopolis Business hub will open.

Subway
One line, Daejeon Subway Line 1, of a planned five-line subway system has been operating since
April 17, 2007 (partial operations on this line began on March 16, 2006). This subway line connects
Daejeon station, located in the original city center, with the more modern and more recently developed
sections of this city, including Dunsan, where the city hall and a number of national government
buildings are located.
Notable differences between the Daejeon subway and the Seoul subway include narrower cars, no
doors connecting cars, four cars per train rather than ten, and storage space under the seats for use
by passengers.[9] The subway also uses round plastic tokens instead of the flat, magnetic paper
tickets used in Seoul. The tokens are read by a proximity sensor when entering the turnstiles, and then
inserted into a slot when exiting. The design of the tokens allows them to be used for advertising.[10]
Platform screen doors are installed in the subway stations.

In 1993, Daejeon was host to the 1993 International Exposition which created quite a sensation locally
as can be seen by the almost ever-present image of Kkumdori, the Expo mascot. You can even find
this character emblazoned on several commemorative manhole covers downtown.
Now, the big excitement has died down, and the site has been transformed into a science park. This is
a good place to spend a day or two investigating the pavilions that remain from Expo '93. The
pavilions range from fairly didactic displays to some really exciting sci-fi simulations.
There is also a neighboring theme park called Kkumdori Land. It offers the usual mix of amusement
rides, including a roller coaster. It is a particularly good place to bring children. If you go on weekends
however, be prepared to wait in line to enter some of the better pavilions.

Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, & Joseon
Three Kingdoms
Historical evidence suggests that the Hanbat district (present Daejeon), had been inhabited by our
forefathers since the days of the Paleolithic Age. In the subsequent Bronze Age, it constituted an
outlying northern district of Mahan which was one of the three Hans that existed at that time.
Around the third century A.D., the Baekje Dynasty, which was founded along the Hangang(river) Basin
(present Gwangju), conquered Mahan and expanded its territory, extending it to the southern coast of
the peninsula. Succeeding in its expansion, Baekje set up its capital at Ungjin (present Gongju) and
named the Daejeon district Usul-gun. Usul-gun was regarded as one of the most critical strategic
zones in the war of unification among the three powerful kingdoms, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.
Goryeo
When the unification of the whole territory was finally achieved under the Silla Dynasty in the seventh
century A.D., Usul-gun was renamed Bipung-gun. Goryeo partitioned this district into Hoedeok-gun
and Jinjam-hyeon.
Joseon
With the introduction of an eight-province system in the 13th year of the reign of King Taejong of the
Joseon Dynasty (1413), the two Hyeons were renamed guns - Hoedeok-gun and Jinjam-gun. It was
about this time that the district earned the name Hanbat, meaning "The Great Field".
Japanese Rule of Korea by Force
In the wake of the first Korea-Japan Pact, which was signed on August 20, 1904, and the opening of
the Seoul-Busan railway on January 1, 1905, an increasing number of Japanese residents began to
settle in Hanbat.
Following the annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, the Japanese Governor-General, at the head of
the colonial rule, made an extensive administrative overhaul of the territory on March 1, 1914.
As a result, Daejeon-gun, which included the areas of Hoedeok-gun, Jinjam-gun, and the
Hyeonnaemyeon of Gongju-gun was established. Daejeon-myeon occupied the center position
(present-day In-dong, Won-dong, Jung-dong, and Samseong-dong), and covered an area of 5.71 km².
Daejeon-gun took over the Hoedeok-gun office and moved it from Hoedeok-eup to Daejeon-myeon.
Daejeon
[Text eingeben] 6
In January of 1914, Daejeon became a boom town with the opening of the Honam Railway. In October
1, 1917, the Governor-General designated Daejeon-myeon as one of "special myeons", the offices of
which were subject to be governed by the Japanese officials.
In March 1926, part of Haenam-myeon was incorporated into Daejeon-myeon, an increase of 16.36
km².
In accordance with the Eup-myeon system, effective April 1, 1931, Daejeon-myeon with a population
of 23,284 inhabitants, was raised to the status of an Eup. The relocation of the provincial government
of Chungcheongnam-do from Gongju to Daejeon on October 1, 1932, gave the small town an impetus
for growth so that it eventually became the center of political, economic, cultural and communication
activities.
On October 1, 1935, according to the Bu system (equivalent to city) instituted by the GovernorGeneral's Pact No. 112, Daejeon-eup was upgraded to Daejeon-bu (population 38,061; area 11.36
km² population density 2,233 km²). Daejeon-gun was simultaneously abolished, and the remaining
area was renamed Daedeok-gun.

Come and explore the magic mountains of Daejeon. Lofty heights, surrounded by verdant greens and
rippling waters - this is the perfect place for having some quaint moments. The temples and shrines of
Daejeon are abodes of ancient culture and faith and sites dating back to the some of the earliest
dynasties of South Korea. The hot springs of Yuseong are unique in their natural wonder and magical
medicinal properties. There are several national parks and amusement parks too offering many
recreation opportunities for travelers and local residents.
There is more to the identity of Daejeon than just being a beautiful city of nature's riches and culture's
resources. As a city of science and technology, Daejeon is home to Daedeok Science Town, one of
the highest-ranking science towns in Asia. The city is also home to Daedeok Valley, or the Silicon
Valley of Korea. It is the hub of high-tech ventures and international business.

Taejŏn Expo '93
Taejon Expo '93 was a three-month international exposition held between August 7, and November 7,
1993 in the central South Korean city of Daejeon (at the time spelled "Taejŏn").
Theme
The theme of the exposition was "The Challenge of a New Road of Development", with various other
sub-themes around sustainable and 'green' development. The exposition was an officially-endorsed
BIE (Bureau of International Expositions) specialized exposition commemorating the centenary of the
first-ever representation of the "Hermit Kingdom" (Korea) to a world exposition, namely the 1893
Columbian Exposition of Chicago. It was also the first exposition held in a developing country.
Site Zoning
The exposition site consisted of three main areas - the international zone, the corporate zone and the
fun park zone.
Being a specialized exposition, the pavilions in the international zone were for the most part prefabricated and rented out to the various international participants for the duration of the exposition.
One hundred and eight nations participated at Taejon Expo '93 - making it one of the largest
expositions ever held. Among the most memorable were the flagship Korean and United Nations
Pavilions.
The corporate zone represented the best wizardry that Korean companies could afford, with some
spectacular architecture and contents, all along the theme of the exposition, with the majority of these
pavilions being permanent in nature. Some of the most spectacular pavilions included "Starquest" by
Samsung, and the three-dimensional IMAX presentation courtesy of Daewoo.
There was also a fun-park zone "Kumdori-land", named after the Expo's fun friendly alienesque
mascot "Kumdori", which featured some of the latest in roller-coasters and other more traditional funpark fair.
Theme Tower
The center of the exposition was pinnacled by the 93-metre high "Hanbit-tap" - or Tower of Great
Light, modelled on a traditional Korean Observatory, where guests could take a lift to the central
viewing platform for a bird's eye view of the whole exposition site. Today, this platform features a cafe.
Also nearby were the flagship Korean National Pavilion, as well as the beautifully engineered United
Nations Pavilion in the shape of a graceful dove.
Overall, it can be said that Expo '93 was a great success, with some of the most memorable
technological displays seen at any world's fair.
The Expo Site Today
Today one can visit the former expo site, now called "Expo Park" for a small fee, savour the site from
the Tower of Great Light, ride some rollercoasters as well as visit some of the more popular
permanent organisation and corporate exhibits from the Expo, including the United Nations Pavilion,
which is now a Museum for the Expo. Further information on Expo Park can be found at the official
web-site, which, although largely written in Korean, has some English language sub-headings to allow
for navigation. Of particular interest is the 'Cyberspace' VR Panorama page where one can view 360
degree photo shoots of various aspects of the site.

TRAVEL ADVISORY; Future Is Now at Korea Show
An international exposition that seeks to answer the question "What sort of world do we want to live in
tomorrow?" is being held in Taejon, South Korea, about 90 miles south of Seoul.
It is scheduled to run until Nov. 7 and is expected to attract at least 10 million visitors.
The exposition, Taejon Expo '93, which opened on Aug. 7 with more than 100 countries taking part,
including the United States, focuses on the role of science and technology in the developing world and
how they can be made to work in harmony with the environment.
Twenty-seven pavilions are exhibiting present and future technologies in telecommunications,
information, biotechnology and aerospace science across a site that covers 36 acres.
But it's not all high-tech. Special events include a folklore festival (Oct. 30), traditional wedding
ceremonies from around the world (Oct. 30) and fireworks displays (till Nov. 7). A total of about 2,300
performances of 55 cultural events will be staged.
An environmental highlight is the Recycling Art Pavilion, one of three pavilions to address the recycling
of resources.
Twenty-seven artists from 13 countries will present their works -- the "wrap" artist Christo and the Pop
artist Robert Rauschenberg among them -- in such materials as packaging, newspapers and tires.

Progressing the World Expo '88 Vision
- A non-government not-for-profit entity celebrating Brisbane's World Expo '88 Founder and Foundation Executive Director - John R McGregor
I had the distinct pleasure of being able to work for the 1993 World Exposition at Taejon (now Daejon)
- a central transport and R&D science hub located in the centre of the Republic of Korea.
The first Exposition to be held by a developing nation - the first Exposition to be held by Korea - and
the third Exposition to be held in Asia - Taejon Expo '93 celebrated the Centenary of the 'hermit
kingdom's' first representation at a World Exposition - at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago,
U.S.A.
The three month international specialised Expo was held between 7 August and 7 November 1993 - a
total of 93 days - and attracted a record number of international participants - 108 - as well as 33 U.N.
level organisations, and numerous other multi-lateral organisations and corporations.
A 'universal-expositions' style Korean Corporate Zone, coupled with an 'international-expositions' style
International Zone, Taejon Expo '93 managed to marry these two forms in a unique manner, and
showcased the latest in Korean and International emergent technologies on the Exposition theme 'The Challenge of a New Road to Development'.
Over 14 million visitors - some 5% international - and nearly 50% Korean students - made the Expo
site a bustling technopolis - opening a door to the 21st century and further, heralding a new age in
Korean and International cultural exchange.
