South Korea, like many countries, has many environmental policies and in taking a look at events made in the past and considering possibilities one will realize why. Analyzing history will bring connections to certain principles. Taking an analytical approach to the past, it is possible to see how the aggrandizement of Korea's economy is intertwined with its environmental policies. An increase in economical activity will result in an increase in environmental policies (to protect the environment from pollution), while the opposite is also true.
After the Korean War (1950-1953), Korea was too busy building its economy up to consider the impact is was having on the environment, it was poor. In 1961 Park Chung-Hee took power and with the Korean peninsula divided into the North and South Korea's he built a political regime that was based on authority. Park Chung-Hee was not worrying about environmental issues; he had bigger fish to fry: strengthening the South Korean economy. A clean environment was a luxury and could only been focused on if the country was up and running. If the economy failed, there would be no money and no reason to have environmental policies at all: the people would be greater concerned by money than some pollution notices. While in office, he instigated in South Korea an idea known as the Five-Year plans, which in turn lead to five Five-Year Plans.
The first of the plans lasted from 1962-1966 and its main aim was to create electrical power generation methods and transportation for industrial development, and the transportation and the production of important industrial goods that support this industrial development. Included in the main aim were building light consumer good industries, particularly the synthetic textile industry for important substitution and exports.
During this time period, the pollution caused by the factories (which in turn were caused by the industrialization) was becoming severely more evident, enough so that even the political leaders recognized that something had to be done.
