Two countries one system : Using viewshed to manage landscape & make it productive

Abstract

It is lucky for me to have a chance to visit the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea from both sides in recent four years. On both sides, they share some similarities that both sides has military structures booming shrubs and trees and farmland in the mountain. However, there is also something different of sceneries on both sides. For example, In South Korea, there is some symbol of physical connection “connection of what”, including an abandoned train line which cannot share the view from the North Korea, and people on both side always talk about a mountain named cum gang mountain, which crowing the border between the two countries, 2/3 in North Korea and 1/3 in South Korea. The mountain became a symbol of unity and culture identity in perception for people on both side.
