This study tries to identify the terms which shared the same meaning with a present-day geographical concept region, or jibang(地方) in Korean, Prior to the initiation of modem geography. The analysis of the annals of the pre-modem political regimes and the earliest geography textbooks ends up with the terms oe(外), bang(方), oebang(外方), ji(地面). These terminologies, although having had almost similar meanings that region intends, nonetheless deliver somewhat different connotation depending on the context and times in and during which they were used. Another finding of significance is that region and jibang, both central .words in contemporary geography, began to be used only after the introduction, by way of Japan, of modem geography in the early 20th century. The colonial experience and subsequent political and social turmoil, however, results in careless uses of the terms in geography teaching and research. Efforts need to be continued to address the problems of misuse of these basic terms and, by doing so, to raise geographical pursuits on a right track.

Han-Ki Choi($1803{\sim}1877$), who was a scholar in Joseon dynasty, understood geography into a synthetic category of chorography, cartography, earth science and fengshui. He focused on chorography and map as a leading position in geography. The purpose of the research of Han-Ki Choi was to examine the way of Heaven, and then to make clear the way of Humanity. The identity of the geography for Han-Ki Choi was a practical science that useful for the ruling over the country and the welfare of people. He emphasized the nature of relationship with humans in geography. The system of Han-Ki's Chi-hak came from the basis of a geography, on the contrary, his geographical works were accomplished on the ground of the Chi-science. The chorography, Chi-hak of the earth and the earth science were composed into systematic organization for achieving the goal of the Chi-geography.

지지학은 지역지리학(regional geography)으로 달리 표현되는데, 특정 지역을 지형, 기후, 생물 같은 자연적인 현상과 교통, 취락, 경제, 인구 등의 인문적인 요소를 분석하고 종합적인 판단을 내려 지역성을 규명하는 분야라고 하겠다. 지지는 땅을 기술한다는 의미를 담고있는 용어로서 지리학(geo-graphy)의 출발과 맥을 같이한다. 근대지리학의 발상지인 독일의 경우지지전물관(Museum fur Landeskunde, Leipzig, 1892)과 지지연구실(Institut f\ulcornerr Landeskunde, Zentralarchiv for Landeskunde von Deutschland, Bad Godesberg, 1882)을 운영하고 있고, 가까운 일본만 하더라도 풍토기라는 이름의 다양한 지지서가 오래 전부터 편찬되어 왔으며 공식적인 연구기관으로 일본지지연구소를 두고 있다.

경계 및 접경지역 연구는 일찍이 근대지리학, 특히, 정치지리학의 시작과 함께 중요한 연구 주제였으며, 2차 대전 이후 전후 유럽의 재편과 함께 크게 각광을 받았고, 꾸준히 정치지리학의 주요한 주제였다. 1990년 이후 유럽 사회주의 국가의 물락 이후, 동서 냉전 체제의 해체는 전 세계적으로 수많은 접경지역의 변화를 가져왔다. 또한, 전 세계적으로 전면적인 전쟁의 위험이 사라진 대신 국지적인 전쟁에 의하여 국경분쟁이 자주 발생하여 접경지역에 대한 연구는 많은 관심을 불러 일으켰다. 특히 이스라엘과 팔레스타인간의 갈등 그리고 파키스탄과 인도간의 갈등. 러시아 연방내에서 러시아 정부와 체첸간의 갈등은 국경분쟁의 대표적인 예이다.

과학의 달, 4월의 문화인물로 선정된 조선조의 지리학자 이중환은 우리나라 지리학의 중시조. 그의 대표작 택리지는 우리의 전통적 풍수지리학을 반쯤 섞고 거기에 근대 지리학의 성격을 가미했다. 이 택리지는 사대부가 어디 살아야 할 것인가를 가르치기 위한 책으로 지리ㆍ생리ㆍ인심ㆍ산수 등 4가지로 나눠 설명했는데 이책은 1750년쯤 쓴 것으로 보인다.

1980년대 이후 선진 지리학계를 중심으로 지리지(지지 또는 지역지리학)에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 이를 둘러싼 이론적, 방법론적 논의도 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 근대 지리학의 형성과 전개과정에서 중요한 기여를 한 바 있는 독일어권의 지리학도 이러한 세계적 학문 추세에 결코 예외일 수 없다. 오히려 독일어권의 지리학은 이러한 새로운 시대적 흐름에 당혹스러움을 감추지 못하고 있다고 평가하는 것이 옳을 것이다. (중략)

Since the 1980s, the academic interests on the regional geography have been renewed. This trend is usually called 'Renaissance' of the regional geography. Given this context, to explore diverse theories and methodologies in the regional geography is of much significance. Particularly, to examine the regional geography in Germany widens the understanding of not only the history, strength, and weakness of the regional geography, but also the discipline's status in the field of geography. This paper discusses the regional geography in Germany before World War II, focusing on varieties of theories and methods as well as the historical trajectory of the German regional geography. This discussion may well be significant in that 'Laenderkunde' became an important paradigm in the discipline of geography in Germany during the pre-World War II period.

Main debates in the modern geographical thoughts had been developed around the regional geography. Because regional geography had been regarded as a raison d'etre of geography, it remains solid status in geography curriculum. But unscientific nature of regional geography was the main problem of modern geography. Modern geography has developed the logical legitimation of regional geography, instead of research procedures. We examine the logic of modern geographical thoughts from 3 worldview. Here we represented the part - the whole relationship as the primary category, and classify these into three type according to the implicit proposition about the relationship. One is the organic view, which assume that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This view was the primary proposition held by the modem geographers. This view regarded the region as organic complex, and presume the unit region which is irreducible to the elements. The other is mechanic view, which presuppose that the whole is the sum of the parts. This view comprehend region by means of spatial order, in order to simplify the complex reality. Then we compare real condition with assumption. These two view held static assumption. Now, the third view regarded the part- the whole relationship as being dynamic. Most geographers held the organic view, although someone suggests the idea of harmony, the others suggests the idea of complex. But these view presumes the pre-industrial society in which the genre de vie was main principle of social order. Therefore It could not comprehend the regional concept in the context of the urbanization and industrialization.
