Introduction

Location
&
geography
Busan
is
a
city
located
in
the
coast
of
the
southeastern
tip
of
the
Korean
peninsula,
next
to
the
sea.
The
longest
river
in
South
Korea,
the
Nakdong
River,
passes
through
Busan
by
the
west
side,
flowing
there
into
the
sea.
Surrounded
by
mountains
at
the
west
and
at
the north,
the
city
has
been
developed
towards
the
sea,
which
explains
why
its
port
is
so
important
in
Korean
economy.
Busan’s
climate
is
very
soft.
Extreme
temperatures
are
very
rare,
and
rainfalls
are
concentrated
in summer.
There
may
be
typhoons
at
that
time
due
to
the
hotness
and
the
humidity,
even
though
these
atmospheric
phenomena
aren’t
frequent
in
the
given
area.

Busan
is
the
second
largest

in
South
Korea
after
Seoul,
with
a
population
of
approximately
3.6
million
(this
figure
has
almost
triplicated
in
the
last
50
years).
Its
metropolitan
area,
which includes
the
cities
of
Gimhae
and
Yangsan,
has
almost
4.4
million
inhabitants.
Nowadays,
the
city
has
been
divided
into
15
districts
and
1
county.
Same
as
the
rest
of
the
country,
the
population
