CULTURAL GROWTH ALONG THE CCZ I am interested in how the CCZ has evolved despite its political limitations. The buffer zone near the South Korean and North Korean demilitarized border is currently evolving into an ecological phenomenon. I am interested in how the evolution of the entire strip has impacted current residents working as local farmers, students and researchers, and ecotourism and how it will continue to evolve in the future. I am concerned that urban encroachment will swallow the existing ecological strip and transform as a new urban center. THESISCONTENTION
