Island Investigations on Club Drugs Last month, a drug trafficking and distribution network involved in selling drugs such as Ecstasy and Ketamine in karaoke bars and foreigner-exclusive clubs in South (경상) Gyeongsang Province was apprehended by the Coast Guard. Amidst a series of drug crimes occurring in clubs and bars nationwide, a similar drug offender has been arrested in Jeju as well. A man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, who was formerly affiliated with a club, has been arrested last month on suspicion of possessing dozens of Ecstasy pills and consuming them. Jeju District Prosecutor's Office has indicted Mr. A on charges of drug possession and consumption, and they have also announced that they are conducting supplementary investigations into individuals who were involved in drug consumption with him. Ecstasy, a new type of drug, is known as a "club drug" as it is primarily consumed by young people. It has a hallucinogenic effect that is three times stronger than that of methamphetamine. INTERVIEW Jo Gwang-won / Jeju Office, Korean Society of Drug Abuse Ecstasy is known to produce hallucinogenic effects that can induce a significant elevation in mood. It is indeed a drug that is commonly used by young people. The Jeju Provincial Police Agency has stated that this case is unrelated to clubs, and it is difficult to disclose specific details regarding the case, including the specific charges, as the investigation is still ongoing. According to the Korea Customs Service, the amount of newly identified drugs seized last year was 260 kg, which is more than a tenfold increase compared to two years ago. Among them, the quantity of Ecstasy seizures increased by seven times during the same period. With the recent arrest of an Ecstasy drug offender in Jeju, there is growing interest in whether the crimes are linked to related industries, as seen in nationwide cases, rather than being isolated incidents of individual crimes. The investigation results regarding any potential spread of crime to associated sectors have garnered significant attention. 제주에도 클럽 마약?…경찰 수사 확대 지난 달 경남에 있는 노래주점과 외국인 전용 클럽 등에서 엑스터시와 케타민 등 마약류를 판매한 판매책과 유통 조직이 해경에 검거됐습니다. 전국적으로 클럽이나 술집에서 마약 범죄가 잇따르는 가운데 제주에서도 유사 마약 사범이 검거됐습니다. 모 클럽 관계자였던 30대 A 씨가 지난 달 엑스터시 수십 정을 소지하고 투약한 혐의로 구속됐습니다. 제주지검은 A 씨를 마약류 소지와 투약 혐의로 구속 기소했고 함께 투약한 이들에 대해서도 보완 수사를 진행하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 엑스터시는 필로폰보다 환각 작용이 3배나 큰 신종 마약류로 젊은 층이 주로 투약하면서 일명 클럽용 마약으로도 알려졌습니다. <인터뷰 : 고광언/ 한국마약범죄학회 제주지회장> 엑스터시를 투약하면 환각작용을 일으켜서 기분이 아주 상승되는 효과를 누리는 마약으로 알려지고 있습니다. 젊은 사람들이 많이 이용하는 마약으로 보면 되겠습니다. 제주경찰청은 이번 사건은 클럽과는 무관하다면서도 구체적인 혐의점 등은 수사가 진행 중이여서 밝히기 어렵다고 전했습니다. 지난해 관세청이 적발한 신종 마약류는 260kg으로 2년 전보다 10배 이상 급증했습니다. 이 가운데 엑스터시 적발 물량은 같은 기간 7배나 늘었습니다. 제주에서도 엑스터시 마약 사범이 검거된 가운데 개인의 단순 범죄가 아닌 전국 사례처럼 연관 업종으로 범죄가 퍼졌을지 수사 결과에 관심이 모아지고 있습니다.

  • Volcanic cones ‘should be provincial parks’
  • Volcanic cones ‘should be provincial parks’ Integrated management suggested for Jeju’s oreum According to a new report, Jeju’s iconic volcanic cones -- or oreum (오름) -- should be designated provincial parks in order to ensure that they are efficiently managed. This is the conclusion of Jeju Development Institute researcher Kim Tae-yoon (김태윤) and Jeju Environmental Education and Research Institute chief Hyeon Won-hak (현원학), who studied the issue. They found that while the oreum have enough value to be preserved, 11 laws dealing with these sites separately were actually hindering a more efficient, integrated management approach. The two researchers stated that the most effective way to integrate the management and preservation of the oreum would be to convert them into provincial parks in accordance with the Natural Parks Act. 3. "제주 오름, '도립공원'으로 지정해야" 제주도내 오름을 '도립공원'으로 지정해 효율적으로 관리해야 한다는 주장이 제기됐습니다. 제주발전연구원 김태윤 연구위원과 현원학 제주생태교육연구소장은 '제주지역 오름의 도립공원화 방안연구'을 통해 제주 오름의 경우 보전 가치가 탁월하지만 현재 11개의 법률에 의해 제각각 지정 관리되며 혼선을 빚고 있는 만큼 이를 통합적으로 운영해야 한다고 주장했습니다. 이를 위해 여러법률 가운데 자연공원법에 의한 도립공원 지정 관리방안을 가장 효과적인 대안으로 제시했습니다. 그리고 도립공원으로 지정함에 있어 중산간 지역의 생물권보전지역과 오름군락, 상대적으로 보전가치가 높은 오름을 선정해 추진하는게 바람직하다고 제언했습니다.

  • More younger students in Jeju schools
  • More younger students in Jeju schools Middle, high school numbers to drop in next 5 years According to a new study by the education office, over the next five years Jeju will see an increase of about 4,000 elementary school students. However, the number of middle and high school students is expected to decrease. The report, which was released on Monday, said that by 2021 Jeju would have 42,500 elementary students… up more than 4,000 from the current enrollment numbers for the 2017 academic year. The projected rise in younger students is due to more families from the mainland moving to Jeju. The report said this will likely increase the number of elementary school students per class from the current average of 22.8 to 24.3. However, the number of middle school students is expected to decline from the current average of 29.6 students per class to 28.7. For high school students, the decrease will be from the current average of 26.7 to 26.2, according to the report. 2. 향후 5년간 초등학생 늘고 중·고생 줄어 향후 5년 동안 제주지역 초등학생 수는 4천여 명 가량 늘어나지만 중.고등학생 수는 감소할 것으로 나타났습니다. 제주도교육청이 오늘(8일) 발표한 2021년도 초,중,고 학생 배치계획에 따르면 오는 2021년도 초등학생 수는 4만2천500여 명으로 2017년도 3만9천100여 명에 비해 4천명 가량 증가하는 것으로 예측됐습니다. 초등학생수 증가는 유입 인구 때문이며, 학급당 학생수도 현재 22.8명에서 24.3명으로 늘어날 전망입니다. 반면 중학생과 고등학생은 점차 감소세를 보여 중학생의 경우 학급당 학생 수가 현재 29.6명에서 28.7명으로 고등학생은 현재 26.7명에서 26.2명으로 전망됐습니다.

  • 1,200 Public Housing Units to be Added
  • When completed, the Jeju Citizen Welfare Town will have 1,200 new public housing units. The province is now waiting for approval from the land ministry. Joseph Kim reports. [Slug] Jeju Citizen Welfare Town in Donam-dong With a budget of 120 billion won, the Jeju Citizen Welfare town project was created in 2006. Part of the project plan was to move Jeju City Hall to the new town, but due to budgetary constraints, the plan was canceled in 2011. [Slug] 1,200 public housing units to be added Over the past few years, the provincial government has been wrestling over how to best utilize the public lands. However, the government has recently announced it will build some 1,200 public housing units on the 44,000 square meter section of Donam-dong. The Jeju Citizen Welfare Town will include 700 apartment units of 45 square meters for students and newlyweds and 80 units for the elderly. Another 420 rental units and newly-built homes will be available to the general public. Additionally, the island is considering easing building height restrictions. The current height limit for the area is capped at 30 meters. INTERVIEW Kim Seong-su / Representative, Provincial Office The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport sought out plans from local governments for additional public housing. A project plan has been submitted to the ministry. <인터뷰:김성수/제주도 공동주택 담당> "이번에 국토부 행복주택 공모가 있었습니다. 여기에 7백세대 정도를 행복주택으로 짓는다는 계획아래 국토부에 신청을 지난달 했습니다." The local government will draw detailed plans for the project and the Jeju Provincial Development Corporation will implement the project. The province submitted the project plan to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, where the ministry will select projects of local governments among candidates. The province will then seek approval of the layout of the building complex, as the design requires the ministry's approval.. Then, after a contractor is selected, construction will begin at the end of next year. [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon, Kim Seung-cheol [Reporter] Joseph Kim The provincial government says that it chose the publicly owned land in Donam-dong for the project mainly due to the soaring cost of land prices over the past few years and the convenient access to services in the area. However, critics say that the project would remove a green area of 40,000 square meters in a centrally located urban district and it does not fit into the use of public land. Joseph Kim, KCTV
