South Korea. The province was formed in 1896 from the southwestern half of the former Chungcheong province, remained a province of Korea until the country's division in 1945, then became part of South Korea. The provincial capital is Daejeon, which is separately administered as a provincial-level Metropolitan City.
One third of the province's area is under cultivation. Apart from agriculture marine products are of importance. There are 220 square kilometres of exposed beach which is used to produce salt by solar evaporation. There is coal mining, but gold and silver mines are also found in South Chungcheong, as is Monazite (a rare thorium bearing mineral) and zircon.
Attractions
At 845 metres, Mount Gyeryong is the most notable elevation. It is located in a national park which is noted for its unique rock features. Apart from the stone formations there is a number of old temples. In 1978 the Taean Marine National Park was opened. It includes some of the country's best bathing beaches.
Administrative Divisions
South Chungcheong is divided into 6 cities ("Si" or "Shi") and 9 counties ("Gun"). These 25 primary divisions are further divided into 22 towns, 147 townships and 37 wards. The city and county names below are given in English and Hangul.
Buyeo is bounded by Jeonbuk province on the south, and within Chungnam by the cities of Boryeong, Gongju and Nonsan, and by the counties of Seocheon and Cheongyang.
Seocheon County is situated in the southwestern corner of Chungnam, bordering the West Sea (Yellow Sea) on the west and Jeonbuk (North Jeolla) on the south.
Yesan County lies in the interior of Chungnam province, adjoining the cities of Asan, Gongju and Seosan, and the counties of Dangjin, Hongseong and Cheongyang.
During this project experiments were conducted at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina and at Chungnam National University in Taejon, Korea.
This additional sample was melt spun at Chungnam National University using a custom- made spinning apparatus, yielding fibers containing 3 % silver nitrate that were wound at speeds of 175 and 300 ft/min.
The carbonization procedure at Chungnam National University was similar to that at Clemson University.
