Founded in 1978, Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements (KRIHS) has

MESSAGEFROM THE PRESIDENT

been conducting high-quality policy-oriented research on national territorialplanning, regional planning, urban planning, real estate, transportation andinfrastructure, and the urban environment.
The main initial focus was on promoting economic development, enhancing
competitiveness of business firms and regions. KRIHS’ research also dealt withproduction, consumption, recreational activities, and social interaction, the qualityof life and the welfare of people.
As Korea’s development has matured, the social value of happiness has become
the essential agenda beyond economy. In this context, KRIHS has been reorienting
research toward creative economy and the quality of life.
KRIHS is staffed with experts in various subjects of human settlements andaccumulated valuable data and information, evaluating it to conduct high-quality
cross-cutting research. In addition, we share our research outcomes with the
public and cooperate with partners in diverse areas and different countries.
We look forward to working with diverse partners in Korea and the international
community.
Thank you.
