Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the terms used in the Information Boards of Geosites at Jeonbuk West Coast National Geopark. Among the terms used in the Information Boards, nouns were extracted and listed based on the Standard Korean Language Dictionary, a glossary of earth and the data for the development of textbooks according to the 2015 revision of curriculum, by which eight types were classified. Seventy-one nouns (10.8%) of the extracted terms were not listed in any glossary. Most of these terms were compound words derived by combining [noun]+[noun] or [noun]+[affix] so that they were not easy to comprehend. In addition, two hundred fifty-six nouns (46%) of the terms were identified as jargons used in specific disciplines. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that when creating the National Geopark Information Boards, the academic jargon embedded terminologies be explained with annotation for general public visitors and students to understand without difficulty.
