On October 10, 2014, a team of four researchers from Korea led by Professor Yong-Chan Kim of Yonsei University and Professor Young-Gil Chae of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies presented their research in the Biotope Salon. The team conducts research on the viability of urban community in local neighborhoods in Seoul. Their research is firmly based on communication infrastructure theory. The theory posits that a \u201cstorytelling network\u201d in a neighborhood, consisting of residents, community organizations and community media, is a core infrastructure for enabling viable community. Based on the theory, the research project takes a multi-method approach to investigate storytelling networks of neighborhoods in urban Seoul.<\/p>\n
