Abstract
This paper deals with the research trend of world geography (excluding geography of Korea) in Korean geographers' academic society through the analysis of the articles published during the last 21 years in three Korean geographical journals(Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Journal of Korean Association of Regional Geographers, and Journal of Cultural and Historical Geography). The portion of articles concerned with world geography is relatively the lowest during the years 1990-1994, relatively the highest during the years 1995-1999, and rather decreasing during the years 2000-2010. The research areas of the articles concerned with world geography are mostly limited to USA, Japan, China, and Europe. It is not only expected that the more research on world geography should be done by Korean geographers but also that the research areas should be expanded in worldwide areas at this time when Korea is entering an international, global, and multi-cultural society.
