The regional geography had been at the height of prosperity in the first half of the twentieth century since Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Ritter. The geography remained stationary in the late 19th century had greatly developed around the regional geography in European countries since the early 20th century. Particularly, A. Hettner and O. $Schl{\ddot{u}}ter$ in Germany, Vidal de la Blache in France and A. J. Herbertson in Britain developed their own methods of regional studies and produced many results of empirical studies ; accordingly the regional geography had been at the height of prosperity in the 1920s and 1930s. This paper aims to study the regional concepts and the methods of regional studies of Germany geographers in the 1920s and 1930s. This study is useful to understand the current methods of classifications of regions and descripitive systems of regions. The noteworthy results of studies are summarized as follows : First, The regional geography of Germany had been developed by Hettner who regarded the geography as the chorological science of the earth's surface, $Schl{\ddot{u}}ter$ who did the geography as the study of cultural landscape and Penck's students, the morphologists of landscape (Landschaftsmorphologie). Hettner defined the geography as the chorological science, maintained that the earth's surface was classify according to its localized difference -continents, lands, districts and localities(Erdteile, $L{\ddot{a}}nder$, Landschaften und Ortlichkeiten) and emphasized on the total character of areas. He tried to classify downward from continents to localities based on the sizes of regions. He also gave the logic of causal relation to schematic approach(Das $L{\ddot{a}}nderkundliche$ Schema) and further developed it. $Schl{\ddot{u}}ter$ argued that The process of change on the landscape through time must be studied. And Passarge and Penck's pupils, morphologists of landscape, tried to classify the landscape synthetically. Thereafter, De Geer and $Gran{\ddot{o}}$ employed the creative methods of regional classification which used signs and simbols. Second, The regional geography of Germany differed from that of France on the next points ; 1. The former was analytic, but the latter was synthetic. 2. The former placed great emphasis on physical elements, terrain and climate etc., but the latter did great emphasis on both physical and human elements. 3. The former gave priority to the studies of large scale regions, but the latter did priority to the studies of small scale regions. In 1920s and 1930s the regional study of Germany geographers exerted direct influence on the development of geography of Japan. Especially, Tanaka Keiji, Japanese typical regional geographer, tried to classify Japan synthetically on the bases of terrain, climate, vegetation and human elements under the influence of European geographers. He exerted great influence on both Japanese and Korean geographers at that time.

This thesis is aimed at researching the formation of democracy in socialist China. Due to a sense of cultural superiority on the basis of their developed civilization, they already formed a strong cultural nationalism, which has come to firm up into "Sinocentrism" through long periods of time. However, there arose a sense of crisis due to the Western invasion after the Opium War and the intellectuals in China happened to seek the solution to rescuing their mother land from ruin; in the midst of this process, the theory of social evolution of the West was introduced and accepted. The acceptance of this theory of social evolution gradually transformed in confrontation with a logical limit that China defeated in international competition could not but be plundered by imperialism after all, but it contributed to Chinese intellectuals' forming the concept of the modern state nationalism of the West deviating from cultural Sinocentrism. After the Russian Revolution, a large number of Chinese progressive intellectuals developed their socialist movement with the recognition that Marxism was a practicable alternative to rescue China from its crisis. The Chinese Communist Party was under guidance of the Comintern from the early process of its formation, in which they emphasized the fact the national liberation struggle in colonialized countries was an indispensable element in the world communist movement under the condition of the control of the world by imperialist capital at that time and subsequently, Marxism characterized by resistant nationalism in China gained its cause. Afterwards, the People's Republic of China was established by the Chinese Communists which came to get widespread support from the Chinese through anti-imperialism &feudalism in the process of the Sino-Japanese War, and thus China equipped with a full-blown socialism system set sails. However, with the relations with the Soviet Union getting worse under the international conditions of a cold war, the development of the Chinese socialism couldn't but resort to the concentrated power of its people, which was linked to the boost of continuous patriotism of the Chinese Communists. Particularly, due to the newly-emerging contradictions after reform & opening [gig kifng], China underwent disruption; thus, as an ideology to integrate such disruptive elements, Sinocentrism based on China's cultural pride re-appeared. Recently, a very strong form of Sinocentrism has come to the fore as their superiority of traditional cultures is emphasized in China whose international position as an economic power has been raised.

도성은 왕권이 존재하는 것뿐만 아니라 왕권을 지지하는 지배계층이 모여 거주하는 곳이다. 그리고 중앙집권적 통일지배를 실현하기 위한 정치 의례의 장으로서 전근대 동아시아 세계에 공통적으로 건설되었다. 그 기원은 중국에서 유래하며, 일본은 율령제(律令制)를 바탕으로 하는 천황제 고대국가가 실현되는 7세기 말 '藤原京(후지와라쿄)'에서 처음으로 지상에 출현한다. 7세기 말부터 거의 1세기 간 복도제(複都制)가 채택되었기에 '등원경(藤原京)' 이후 도성은 여러 곳에 건설되었고, 때로는 천도되었다. 그러나 8세기 말 '長岡京(나가오카쿄)'에서는 복도제(複都制)를 지양했고, '平安京(헤이안쿄)'에 도읍을 정한 이후, 중세 근세를 거쳐 근대에 이르기까지 헤이안쿄-교토에는 1100년에 걸쳐 왕권이 지속적으로 존재하여 지금의 '京都市'(교토시)에 이르게 된다. '등원경(藤原京)'가 고대 일본 최초의 도성이었다면, '평안경(平安京)'는 마지막 도성임과 동시에 중세 도시로 변모해 가는 전환점에 위치하고 있다. '등원경(藤原京)'이래 남북축선에 대한 선대칭 구조를 의식해 도성이 축조 되었고, '평안경(平安京)'에서는 이러한 구조가 가장 강하게 표현되었지만, 9세기 초 천황과 관인들의 의식 정무의 동선이나 좌석 배치에 있어서 동서방향이 채용되게 되었고, 이에 더해 9세기 말에는 천황의 거소가 도성의 축선에서 벗어나게 된다. 또한 10세기 중반 경 '平安宮(헤이안큐)'에서는 '內裏(다이리)'를 중심으로 한 잦은 화재가 발생해 천황은 궁외로 거소를 옮기게 되었다. 이후 천황이 궁 바깥에 거주하는 것이 일반화 되었고, '평안궁(平安宮)'는 의식을 행하는 장소로서 한정적으로 유지 수리가 될 뿐이었으나 결국에는 그것마저 어려워져 폐쇄에 이르게 된다. 한편 귀족의 저택도 7세기 이래의 남북축선에 대해서 동서의 선대칭 구조로 부터, '寢殿造(신덴즈쿠리)'라고 불리는 건물배치도 공간구성도 비대칭인 건물양식이 주류를 이루어 갔다. 이상과 같이 일본의 고대 도성의 특징을 잘 가지고 있었던 최후의 도성 '평안경(平安京)'는 남북을 축선으로 하는 선대칭 구조가 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, 9세기 '평안궁(平安宮)'의 변화를 시작으로 11~12세기에 크게 변모해갔다. 이처럼 고대국가의 도성이 가지고 있었던 남북을 축으로 하는 구조를 버리고 동서방향으로 동선을 취한 움직임은 고대국가의 이념을 탈피하여 다음 시대로 전환하는 중요한 한 걸음이었다고 생각된다.

This paper is to inquire into nature of the educated's geography from 1905 to 1910 by researching relevant geographical resources in HAKBO published by the Academic Society. At that time, the Patriotic Enlightenment Movement was active, and the Academic Society attempted to enlighten people, to enrich the country, and to restore the sovereign right. The educated tried to understand the reality in view of social Darwinism and make their country the winner as well as the fit in the struggle for existence by this movement. Their effort can be seen in HAKBO and geography in it. The contents of geography in HAKBO was related to world-wide geographical information and intended to instil patriotism into the hearts of people. As their research methods, they adopted systematic geographical method by comparing between region and region, or studying relationships of the nature and human, and Hettner's regional geographical method which describes human after the nature. Hence, it is proved that the educated's geography in HAKBO introduced modem geography in western society for Patriotic Enlightenment and it used its geographical methods.

Many researchers and librarians in library and information science area in Korea and Japan claim that Japanese Hongdohoe Library is the first modern public library in Korea. The results of analysis of the study reveal that the claim should be reconsidered because of the following reasons. Firstly, Hongdohoe Library was established in Korea but was established by Japanese. Secondly, the library was established for Japanese in Busan and operated for a long time for the use of Japanese people in Busan. Thirdly, most of the collection of the library were revealed as Japanese materials. Fourthly, the Japanese Hongdohoe which established the library was the organization that supported Japanese militarism before and during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

This study aims to analyze the image of long-span structures. For the intention, it analyzes the relationship between images and physical attributions of elements such as materials, stresses, configurations, compositions and shapes of structures. The image of structures can represent following 5 factors; friendly-unfriendly, strong-weak, dynamic-calm, superior-inferior, and regular-irregular. The friendly-unfriendly in the image of structure mostly determines on a finished material and partly with a structural shape. The strong-weak in the image of structure determines on configuration of the structural members. The dynamic-calm in the image of structure determines on the structural shape. Hence the structure has dynamic forms when it seems to be open and sharp, namely when it receives the flow of forces in the structural shape, and it has a (-) gauss curved rate or an diagonal appearance. The superior-inferior in the image of structure determines on composition of structural elements. The structure seems to be superior is contributed not simply to support load but positively to create design as a tectonic element. From now on, this study can provide the useful information on the long-span structure design through the more appropriate analysis of the image.

This paper aims to point out that the contemporary textbook is a common cognitive construct, and that the realistic drawings in the textbooks have played an important role in shaping the world recognition. The main subjects of this study are the racial-ethnic illustrations of elementary school geography textbooks, published by the Japanese Ministry of Education, the Japanese Government-General of Taiwan and Korea, the educational association of Manchu. By comparing the same factors in various textbooks, it examines how the temporal and spatial recognition of the world is adjusted by visual representation. The main findings of this study are three fold. First, the world was introduced to the extent of the sum that the census and the classifications of racial and ethnic groups were adopted. And the world appeared later in the year supported by the racial and ethnic minorities. Second, the expressive style of racial and ethnic groups changed from an emphasis on a heterogeneous part as an object of scientific observation in the early stage to a later one with a life culture similar to the reader. Third, racial ethnic illustrations have been used differently depending on the publishing region in the Empire, giving readers in different regions with different images of the same category. In many cases, it was possible to know the politics of representation and the use of certain racial ethnic illustrations. The textbooks of the first half of the 20th century gave great recognition to the people who could not meet with the readers by using the illustrations. A child in the mainland is aware of his position in a "viewing position" while viewing various empire people through the textbook. On the other hand, in the textbooks of the colonial children, they stood in the position of 'being seen', and showed a change in internalizing the position of the mainland along with the expansion of the empire.

This study examines applying the elderly poverty labor hypothesis and skill-biased technological change hypothesis to labor force participation rate(LFPR) of older males in Korea. These hypotheses have hardly been examined on the this group. The analysis is based on the data "Summary of economically active population($1965{\sim}2007$)", "Population projection($1965{\sim}2007$)", "Report on wage structure survey($1993{\sim}2005$)" and "Korea Labor and Income Panel Study($1998{\sim}2006$)". The method employed for this study is logistic regression. The main results from this analysis are summarized in five points. Firstly, Korean older males' LFPR have been increasing since 1965 when industrialization was expanding at full steam. This trend has been different from the decreasing trend of industrialized countries. The second finding is that poor older males' LFPR is, on the average, 5.2% higher than that of non-poor older males from 1998 to 2005. The third result is that the non-elderly man has been increasingly positioned at higher grade occupations, while the elderly man has been held at lower grade occupations. The fourth is that labor demand for highly educated workers has exceeded the increased labor supply of the group, while the demand for low educated workers has decreased far beyond the declined labor supply. As a result, college premium has increased from 139% in 1993 to 157.8% in 2005. The final main implication of this study is that the industrialization theory and modernization hypothesis still holds for the LFPR of Korean older males. However, the elderly affluence hypothesis of the LFPR of older males are hardly persuasive in explaining Korean phenomenon. Especially, we find that the elderly poverty is the main mechanism in determining the Korean LFPR in old ages. This supports the elderly poverty labor hypothesis presented in this study. Skill-biased technological change hypothesis partially explains the LFPR of older man. However, we believe that other factors; human capital specially high school education rather than university education and skill required in less skill biased occupations or the poverty; also have taken effect.
