부산 바로 옆인데… 왜 대마도에는 사람이 없을까?

Tsushima Island, a Japanese island nestled in the middle of the Korea Strait. Geographically strategically located between Korea and Japan, the island's population continues to decline. Once home to approximately 70,000 people, its population has dwindled to around 25,000. A combination of factors—its predominantly mountainous terrain, its remote location from Japan's economic hub, and its tourism industry, which is heavily influenced by diplomatic relations—gives Tsushima its unique character. Even the consideration of hosting a high-level radioactive waste disposal site to address population decline and local economic issues sparked significant controversy. Why has this island in the middle of the Korea Strait become a place where people do not gather? This video explores the geography, history, and economic structure of Tsushima Island, and explores the paradox of "an island with important geographic location but uninhabited." #Tsushima #KoreaStrait #JapaneseIslands #GeographyStory #PopulationDecline #Geopolitics #KnowledgeChannel #KoreaJapan #GeographyContent Source Korea Copyright Commission UK Ministry of Defence - wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RAF_Gibraltar_A400M_Op_Newcombe.jpg Bohao Zhao - wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kyushu_Ferry_Tsushima_Island_from_Kyushu_Ferry_-_panoramio.jpg Ackeyyama Snap55 Choi2451 - wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hitakatsu_Bus_Center.jpg#/media/File:Hitakatsu_Bus_Center.jpg Around the world MapTiler
