Abstract

Baekdudaegan is Korea's traditional geographic system which incorporates the mountains and water to constitute an organism. In this system, the mountain ranges of the Korean peninsula is categorized into one Daegan, one Jeonggan and thirteen Jeongmaek: a classification that follows the principle that 'a mountain range separates watercourse (山自分水嶺).' Among them, the scope of this study encompasses one Daegan and nine Jeongmaek which fall in South Korea. As for the methodology, this study interviewed the visitors to Baekdudaegan in South Korea and analyzed 2,519 responses. Among the interviewee, a very low proportion of 5.1% answered that they 'know' the traditional geographic system and those who 'know' Baekdudaegan were merely 39%. Only 11.8% said they 'know' Jeongmaek. Meanwhile, more than 60% answered that the natural environment of Baekdudaegan was 'well conserved,' and this can lead to the judgment that the environment is well conserved. Many answered that it was desirable to include Baekdudaegan in the curriculum, most effectively from the primary school, for promoting the awareness of Baekdudaegan. Currently, the traditional geological system is not included in the promulgated curriculum of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the lessons from this study lead to a suggestion that the curriculum by the Ministry of Education shall allot courses on this traditional geological system. This policy will inculcate the identity of the Korean nationality and the fundamental concept of conservation by stimulating the affection to our territory and environment.

산과 물을 하나의 유기체로 인식한 우리나라의 전통적 지리체계인 백두대간은 산자분수령을 원리로 1대간 1정간 13정맥으로 분류되어 있다. 이 중 남한에는 1대간 9정맥이 있으며, 본 연구는 남한의 백두대간 이용객을 대상으로 대면 설문하여 2,519부를 분석에 이용하였다. 전통적 지리체계를 '알고 있다'는 응답률은 5.1%로 매우 낮았으며, 백두대간을 '알고 있다'는 응답률은 39%, 정맥을 '알고 있다'는 응답률은 11.8%에 불과하였다. 백두대간의 자연환경이 '잘 보존되고 있다'라고 판단한 응답률은 60%를 상회하여 비교적 자연환경이 잘 보존되고 있다고 판단된다. 백두대간의 홍보에 대한 방법은 교과과정에 편입하여 교육하는 것이 가장 바람직하며, 이는 초등학교때부터 교육하는 것이 효과적이라고 응답하였다. 현행 교육부의 교육과정에 대한 고시에는 전통적인 지리체계에 대한 교육의 내용이 기재되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구의 내용을 기반으로 교육부의 교과과정에 전통적 지리체계에 대한 교육과정을 정식으로 편성하여야 한다고 제시하였다. 이는 우리 국토와 환경에 대한 애정을 바탕으로 한국인으로서의 정체성 확립과 자연환경보전에 대한 기초적인 자질을 심어줄 것이다.
