Introduction
Long before the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945) and before
the DMZ was established as a result of the Korean War (June 25,
1950 to July 27, 1953), the 38th parallel was discussed as a
proposed line for delimiting Russian and Japanese influence in the
peninsula in the late 19th century. Polarized political ideologies
in Korea following its independence from Japanese colonization
caused the Korean War, one of the first proxy wars between
superpowers.
The ideological contestation between communist powers China and
the Soviet Union, and the free world led by the U.S. left behind
the demilitarized zone (DMZ), 250 Km (160 miles) long and 4 Km (2.5
miles) wide, that is 907 km2 (224,125 acres). This area accounts
for about 0.5% of the Korean peninsula. To this day the Military
Demarcation Line (MDL) runs through the center of DMZ and divides
the communist North from the capitalist South. Technically, the two
Koreas are still at war, and are only under a temporary armistice
that was signed in 1953.
Given the DMZ’s relative freedom from human intervention in the
past 60 years, it has become one of the most bio-diverse areas in
Korea, perhaps in the world. Starting in the early 2000s, many
calls and proposals have been made to conserve and preserve the
area as a national or international peace park. The DMZ is however
not free from other depredations: according to the United Nations
Environment Programme report, for example, multiple burn scars
linked to military surveillance operations in DMZ have been
revealed through NASA’s Landsat 7 satellite. Furthermore, several
organized DMZ tourist operations offer limited access to it on the
South Korean side.
Beyond existing history, security concerns, and ecologically
themed tourism and other moneymaking ventures, what more can the
DMZ become? What Can it do? Can it be a more productive landscape,
harness energy or become a cultural asset that creates value for
North and South Korea? Alike, can it foster collaboration between
the two Koreas? or to put it differently: what should it not be?
Ultimately, elaborate mapping of the DMZ and its surrounding
environment through the lens of current touristic operations can be
used to provoke thoughts and envision the DMZ’s alternate future,
speculating its potential transformation to an asset from a
barrier.

Research Background
This study is an attempt to better understand the DMZ beyond the
political border, physical barrier, military buffer, and container
of biodiversity, and understand its complex spatial operations.
After the Korean War, the “38th parallel line” became more fixed in
a different form. How and who drew the Military Demarcation Line
(MDL) that makes up the DMZ? Why was it constructed? How is it
maintained?
With these questions in mind, this Penny White award study
focused its investigation on the current tourism industry
flourishing around the DMZ on the South Korean side, and how we can
start to read it in a more productive and meaningful way.
What kind of touristic operations are taking place? How do they
impact the contiguous 4.8 to 20 Km (3 to 12 miles) wide Civilian
Control Area (CCA)? What do the estimated 1.2 million land mines on
the South Korean side represent to these touristic operations, and
the future of these territories and especially their settlement
patterns?

TOURISM
More than 100,000 tourists have passed through the joint
security area (JSA) on strictly organized tours. Many of these
tourists are Japanese, Chinese, American and European. Typically,
South Koreans are not allowed on the JSA tours for security
reasons. However, almost 4 million visitors including South Koreans
visit the Imjin Pyungwha Nuri park (meaning Peace World park, see
pg.115) near the DMZ in Paju annually.

BRIDgE OF NO RETURN “The Bridge of No Return” crosses over the
Military Demarcation Line (MDL) between North and South Korea. It
is located in the JSA and was last used as a checkpoint for the
exchange of prisoners of war. Upon release, they had to decide
which side to join, and was never allowed to cross back. It was
also where the U.S. Pueblo crew crossed over upon their release in
December 23, 1968. This bridge made such a deep imprint on the
Korean imaginary that it became the setting for a famous Korean
movie titled “JSA.”

the DMZ and its surrounding territories. They not only serve as a
reminders of where one is, but change how one perceives the
surrounding landscape and its built environment. The effect is that
of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon: one feels as if one were being
watched all the time. It makes one question oneself before taking
any photo or moving freely.

“South Korea’s Overpasses to Nowhere Remain Part of Defense
Strategy” By Jon Rabiroff
(Source:http://www.stripes.com/news/s-korea-s-overpasses-to-nowhere-remain-part-of-defense-strate-gy-1.106886)
ANTI-TANK BARRICADE SySTEMThe normal primary connective function
of the road is perceived in the DMZ as a weak defense. This
inherent weakness is countered by “North Korean speed bumps” known
as the “rock drops.” The intension of which is to slow down an
eventual land invasion by exploding huge concrete blocks down on to
the road. Installed mostly in 1979-80, the system is now seen as
obsolete. Nevertheless, they are still in place which activates the
latent memory and probabilities of war.

BORDER LANDSCAPESSpanning 250 km laterally from its west to east
coast, the DMZ frames a variety of ecological zones and landscapes.
Its absence of urbanization has sparked nature conservation groups
such as “The DMZ Forum: for Peace and Nature Conservation” to
preserve and protect its unique biological and cultural resources.
Their goal is to have the DMZ designated a UNESCo World Heritage
Site. Research and awareness is also ongoing in the area, seeking
ways to support ecotourism and other activities compatible with the
region’s ecology.

these are sometimes based on official oral discussions: in both
cases, their meanings are irreal [sic] as semantic entities), or by
images (as with border-lines considered
as drawn features in the maps that depict them).”

IMAgES OF HOPECast against frightful tensions and a dark history
of war, images of hope, and reconciliation are cropping up along
the DMZ tour routes. They are often emotional calls for
reunification, humanitarian empathy, economic improvements, and
other messages of peace. A sign installed by the Ministry of
Unification of South Korea in Dorasan Station, near the DMZ reads:
“Not the last station from the South, but the first station toward
the North.” But who are the people yearning for unification? The
separated families? Who else does it matter to? Who would benefit
from it? Who wouldn’t? Is reunification inevitable? Will the
current situation perpetuate itself? How can positive change be
jumpstarted?

This study was funded by the Penny White Travel Fellowship at
Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. “Winifred G.
(Penny) White had just completed her second year of the Master of
Landscape Architecture program when she died suddenly of leukemia
in 1976. In her memory, her family established a fund within the
GSD to offer financial support for student projects. The projects
are to “carry forward Penny’s ideal of a culture which empha-sizes
a close relationship between people and nature in a cohesive living
environment.”

Dongsei is a registered architect and urban designer with more
than seven years of professional experience in New York, Seoul, and
Wellington. He is currently expanding his research in urbanism at
Harvard University through the Advanced Studies Program, working
towards a Master in Design Studies (MDesS),
Urbanism, Landscape, Ecology.
He holds a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design
from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Architecture with honors
from Victoria University of Wellington. While practicing at CCM
Architects in Wellington he worked on several NZIA regional and
national award-winning projects. He was the 1st Prize winner in the
Grand Concourse International Ideas competition in NYC 2009. He was
an adjunct professor of architecture at Kyunghee University in 2010
and has taught undergraduate students at Victoria University of
Wellington. He served as guest a critic at Columbia University, The
City College of New York, Kunkook University and Yonsei University.
He is registered with the New Zealand Registered Architects Board
(NZRAB) since 2007. He is currently a Research Associate at the
Zofnass Rating System for Sustainable Infrastructure at the
GSD.
His research thesis “Border as Urbanism: A new lens for the
Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea” explores
potential and effects of physical and non-physical infrastructural
flows that overcome the traditional barriers of borders. The
research attempts to understand and reveal specific processes
of
urbanism borders engender.
