Both basic and applied researches are conducted at KRIHS. Basic research is concerned with theoretical and methodological development as well as various policy-oriented analysis applicable to the evaluation of critical public issues. Applied research projects involve the actual formulation of plans and development strategies of various natures, including major national plans. KRIHS also undertakes local and regional planning as well as technical feasibility studies on contractual basis for local, national and international clients. In an effort to properly articulate the policy problems and issues, and also to disseminate important research outcomes, KRIHS organizes seminars, workshops, and public hearings on plan proposals and various policy issues. International conferences are also organized occasionally with involvement of visiting foreign scholars and sister institutions on relevant themes. The proceedings from these seminars and workshops are selectively published for general circulation. Approximately 1,100 research projects have been carried out since the establishment of KRIHS. The following is the selected titles of the research reports.
