A port city located at the mouth of the Geumgang River in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea. It has an area of 377.72 square kilometers and a population of 272,129 (2000). It was promoted to a city in 1949 and merged with Okgo-gun in 1995. Since opening in 1899, it has grown significantly as an export port for Honam America, but the severe accumulation of sediment at the mouth of the Geumgang River has caused problems with its port functions. Industries such as plywood, brewing, papermaking, and footwear have developed, and it has grown into Jeollabuk-do's number one industrial city.

韓国(大韓民国)、全羅北道(ぜんらほくどう/チョルラブクト)、錦江(きんこう/クムガン)河口に位置する港湾都市。面積377.72平方キロメートル、人口27万2129(2000)。1949年、市に昇格。95年、沃溝郡と統合。1899年に開港以来、湖南米の輸出港として大きく発展したが、錦江河口に土砂の堆積(たいせき)が著しく、港湾機能が問題になっている。合板、醸造、製紙、履き物類の工業が発達し、全羅北道第一の工業都市に成長した。 [森 聖雨] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
