Daejeon had a population of over 1.5 million in 2010. Located in the center of South Korea, Daejeon serves as a hub of transportation and is at the crossroads of major transport routes. The capital Seoul is about 50 minutes away by high speed train. Daejeon is one of South Korea's administration hubs with the Daejeon Government Complex (Other administrative hubs: Seoul, Gwacheon and Sejong).The Korean administration in the 1980s decided to relocate some of its functions from Seoul, the national capital, to other cities. Currently, 12 national government offices including ''Korea Customs Service'', ''Small and Medium Business Administration'', ''Public Procurement Service'', the ''National Statistical Office'', ''Military Manpower Administration'', ''Korea Forest Service'', ''Cultural Heritage Administration'', ''Korean Intellectual Property Office'' as well as Patent Court of Korea are located in Daejeon. Korail (Korea Railroad Corporation), K-water (Korea Water Resources Corporation) and KOMSCO (Korea Minting & Security Printing Corporation) are also headquartered in the city. Daejeon has 18 universities including KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), Chungnam National University, Hanbat National University, Hannam University and UST (Korea University of Science and Technology). Daejeon has earned its name as "Asia's Silicon Valley" and "High technology city".〔 The city hosted the Taejon Expo '93 and the International Mathematical Olympiads (IMO) in 2000. Several important research institutes are based in the city. Innopolis Daedeok (Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone) is composed of 28 government-funded research institutions as well as 79 private research institutes with as many as 20,000 researchers. In addition, Daejeon established the ''WTA'' (World Technopolis Association) in 1998 with the view of realizing regional development through international cooperation with world science cities. Currently the WTA has grown to have 67 members from 32 countries, and it actively cooperates with many international organizations including UNESCO as its official consultative body. ==History== Human beings first settled in the Daejeon region during the Stone Age. It was occupied and in use as strategic military ground in various time periods by people such as the ''Usul-gun'' of Baekje, ''Bipung-gun'' of Silla and the ''Hoideok-hyeon'', ''Yuseong-hyeon'', ''Deokjin-hyeon'' and ''Jinjam-hyeon''. During the Joseon Kingdom period, it remained occupied by the ''Hoideo-hyeon'' and ''Jinjam-hyeon'' of Gongju Mokha. In 1895, most of the area was made part of Hoideok-gun and Jinjam-gun, excluding some parts that belonged to Gongju-gun.〔()〕 The Daejeon area was historically known as ''Hanbat'' (한밭), a native Korean term for "large field", during the Joseon Dynasty. "Daejeon" simply means the same thing in Hanja. Historically, Daejeon was a small village without many residents. However, in 1905, the Gyeongbu railway began operations from Seoul to Busan, opening a station at Daejeon. In 1926 under rule of the Japanese government, the Honam railway was built between Mokpo and Daejeon, transforming the latter into a major transportation hub. Because of its location and proximity to means of transportation, Daejeon grew quickly. In 1932 the capital of Chungnam province was moved from Gongju to Daejeon. During the Korean War the city was the site of an early major conflict: the Battle of Taejon. Since then, changes have been made to the city boundaries. Its official names have evolved, as well. Among the boundary modifications include one that effectively made the nearby town of Daedeok a part of the city in 1983. Then, in the late 1980s, Daejeon was elevated to the status of Special City (''Jikhalsi'') and thus became a separate administrative region from Chungcheongnam-do. In 1995, all South Korean Special Cities were again renamed as Metropolitan Cities, which is reflected in the current official name of Daejeon, Daejeon Metropolitan City ("대전광역시"). In 1997 the Daejeon Government Complex was constructed as part of an effort to move some government offices away from the densely populated capital, Seoul.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Daejeon Government Complex ) 〕 The population of Daejeon increased dramatically as a result. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daejeon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
