“…Lee & Gerber, 2009) for two reasons. First, members of this population are difficult to reach because lists of information on NK refugees living in South Korea are strictly confidential for security purposes (S. K. Lee & Nam, 2014). Second, it is difficult to reach out to NK refugees or collect meaningful information from them due to a unique deep-rooted suspicion toward others that they developed in North Korea (Min, 2008).…”

Although many North Korean (NK) refugee women are victims of domestic violence (DV) in North Korea, face sexual exploitation during migration, and remain at risk of DV while adapting to life in South Korea, there is no empirical evidence about risk factors for DV in this population. To fill this gap, this study examined whether gender role beliefs, child abuse history, and sociocultural adaptation were associated with past-year physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse, and whether they were associated with multiple forms of abuse. We also explored whether these associations were similar or different across different types of DV among NK refugee women. A sample of 180 ever-married NK refugee women in South Korea from the 2010 National Survey on Family Violence was used for analysis. Physical abuse was associated with more traditional gender role beliefs; emotional abuse and multiple forms of abuse were associated with lower levels of sociocultural adaptation; and sexual and economic abuse were associated with an increased likelihood of childhood abuse and poor sociocultural adaptation. Our study findings underscore the importance of

“…This study showed that deforestation has intensified and shifted to higher uplands, meaning the failure of forestation. In 2012, many stunting and wasting among children confirmed that the food shortage in North Korea remained severe [48]. Deforestation for cropland was inevitable.…”

Forest change in the Korean Peninsula related to different socioeconomic developments in North and South Korea and impacted on the regional environment. However, there was a lack of consistent information about forest changes, especially comparative knowledge of North and South Korea that support management and policymaking. We used the change object update method to generate the first object-based 30m land cover set for the peninsula and analyzed new observations of forest changes in North and South Korea from 1990Korea from -2000Korea from to 2000Korea from -2015 Results showed that, in North Korea, annual forest loss increased from 142 km 2•yr −1 to 257 km 2 •yr −1 , and the total loss increased from 1,407 km 2 to 3,769 km 2 . The elevation range where forest loss concentrated shifted from 100-300 m to 300-1,000 m. The conversion of forest to cropland increased from 1,256 km 2 to 3,910 km 2 , indicating North Korea's forest eroded by agriculture expansion to ensure food security. By contrast, in South Korea, despite forest total loss increased from 338 km 2 to 513 km 2 , annual loss remained at 34 km 2• yr −1 . The forest loss was concentrated at the elevation range of 0-300 m, which linked with built-up land expansion. Different public income and social developments drove distinct magnitude of forest loss in the two countries. Follow the Global Forest Observations Initiative, although forest loss might be underestimated for North Korea and overestimated for South Korea, our land change information equipped good overall accuracy ( 0.94 ± 0.031). This study could provide useful implications for forest management and regional sustainable development.
