  • Among the changes of the Curriculum from the liberation to the present, the biggest change in the highschool geography course appeared during the period from the Period of Syllabus to the 1st National Curriculum. More specifically, during the 1st National Curriculum the highschool geography course which previously had three subjects, 'Natural Environment and Human Lives', 'Human Geography', 'Economic Geography' was reduced to one subject, 'Human Geography.' In addition, while some contents related with astronomy, geology, and biology had been contained in the physiography course, they were left out from the human geography course of the 1st National Curriculum. This reduction of the geography course was related to the context that earth science was newly established in the 1st National Curriculum. Originally the draft plan released in June, 1953, which was 10 months before the formal time allotment criteria list had been made public, contained 'Physical Geography' instead of 'Earth Science'. What is sorry is that the name of 'Physical Geography' did not remain and was changed to 'Earth Science'. The underlying causes of the crisis the geography education is now facing are the reduction of Physical Geography and the emergence of 'Earth Science' during the 1st National Curriculum. To overcome the present crisis, the subject of geography should be changed more meaningful one based on the comprehensive perspective and academic product that geography has accumulated.

  • This paper aims to illuminate how the Naturalists' concern on geography and geography education, mainly in Comenius, Rousseau, Pestalozzi who have played key roles in the development of Naturalism, has developed and how the Naturalism has influenced on the development of geography and geography education. Starting from sensual realism, the Naturalism suggested the educational principle and methods adjusting to the Nature well as exercised great influence on the formation of modem school education toward popular common education. The geography took the firm position as subject in the curriculum of the Naturalists and achieved the rationale of existence as subject in curriculum with utility to expand human experience, thanks to Naturalists. The Naturalists developed several ideas on geography teaching method such as labouring activity-centered geography teaching based on strengthening sense and experience by 'look-and-see' approach, local geography-centered geography teaching with stress the local area as the focus of direct experience and living environment, and the real thing-centered geography teaching by fieldwork. Moreover, The Naturalists had an great effect on the geographer, Karl Ritter in terms of methodology of geography.

  • UN은 1990년대를 전세계적인 자연재해 감소를 위한 10년(IDNDR)으로 지정하고 이러한 취지로 제네바에 사무국을 개설했다. 그에 대한 반응으로 국제 과학 연합회는 IGU를 통해 여러 지역에서의 지리적 연구를 지원하고 있다. IGU는 1992년에 개최된 제 27차 IGC에서 자연재해연구 분과를 개설하여 지리학에 있어서 새로운 기술을 개발하는데 강조를 두는 다양한 자연재해 프로젝트에 지리학자들을 포함시키려는 노력을 시작했다. 지리학자들은 IDNDR에 중요한 공헌을 하고 있는데, 특히 재해 관리를 위한 GIS의 영역과 지도화와 재해 평가를 위한 원격탐사, 재해 반응에 대한 GPS의 이용 등이 이에 포함된다. 지리학자들은 지도화와 재해를 경감시키려는 노력에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 이미 재해를 입은 지역에 대해 복구 계획을 세우고 있다. CONAHA는 2000년에 서울에서 개최되는 제 29차 IGU에서 UN에 의해 시작된 안건을 지지하게 됨으로 그 역할을 마무리하게 될 것이다. 영구적인 공헌 중에는 1998년에 산악 재해에 관한 발간을 시작으로 자연재해에 관한 책 시리즈와 UNESCO에 의해 발간된 Life Systems 백과사전 내용 중 자연재해에 대한 부분이 포함된다는 것이다

  • This paper suggests to bring the idea of social construction of nature or social nature discussed in social science including geography to geographical and environmental education for breaking traditional divide of people(or society) and nature. And this paper analyzed relationship between people and nature, meaning of environment and the concepts of social nature represented in the geography curriculum and textbook of England, Australia and Korea. Recently in terms of focusing disciplines or education on integration or convergence, introduction of social nature in teaching and learning geography and environment has an important implication. With rapid growth of capitalism, nature is constructed socially by the political, economical, social and cultural practice. Thus geography education reduces the distance between human geography and physical geography and needs to focus on exploring not just the relationship between people and nature but social construction of nature. Another implication of the introduction of social nature in teaching and learning geography and environment is that students can develop the relational sensitivity about the relationship people and nature or people and place.

  • This article focuses on the period from the beginning of Twentieth, the period commonly regarded as the Enlightenment Period in Korea. Questioning Daehan-Sin-Gygi( 問答大韓新地誌) textbook consists of contents of physical geography aimed at rational and objective perception of the nature, within the frame of Sirak(實學) and Progressive Thoughts. In terms of contents organization, there are too wide range of facts and knowledge covered, with mechanical imitation of statement style of systematic and regional approach. Particularly, Geography textbook in this period attached greater importance to contents of physical geography than any other times. It is possible to conclude that real outcomes of geography education at the time contributed significantly to enlightenment of people and integration of the society. I consider that statement style of question-response used at the time is very worth-while.

  • This study aims to develop and operate education program for the region-focused field study on the physical geography for the students to understand their community places in the geography classes of elementary and, secondary schools and college. The theme of the program is understanding the geomorphic structures and processes including river channel, wetland, levee, terrace, sand and gravel bar and alluvial island, floodplain and irrigation system in Miho river basin, Chuncheong Province of Central Korea. For the study of regional geography as their community, the field education is focused on relations of landform to everyday life, though different levels in learning achievement according to each school classes. But, the purpose of the field education is, same at all classes, for student to analyze and understand the geomorphic effects on the place of everyday life in geography education.

  • 최근 국가산업 발달과 함께 자연 생EH계 파괴, 환경 오염 및 자연 훼손과 같은 문제점들이 야기되고 있으며, 범국가적인 차원에서 자연환경 보전과 관리에 대한 인식이 날로 부각되고 있다. 정보 시스템 분야에서도 다차원 지리정보를 이용한 자연 생태계 연구 및 환경오염원 관리와 같은 연구가 현재 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이 논문은 자연환경과 생태계 관리를 위한 방법으로, 인터넷 GIS 기술을 이용한 지리정보 시스템을 구축하여 그 활용을 연구하였고, 연구 대상지로는 지리산 일대로 정하였으며, 환경의 범위는 자연환경 및 생태계로 정하였다. 공간정보 분석 및 관리를 위해 적지분석, 사용자 질의 처리 및 지리정보 가시화 모듈. 등을 개발하여 자연 환경정보를 보다 체계적으로 관리하기 위한 핵심 기능을 마련하였다. 각 모듈은 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하며, 특정 요구목적에 따라 공간분석을 통한 자연환경 및 생태계 접근에 대한 의사결정을 돕도록 하였다. 또한 환경상태 및 여러 목적에 따른 분류가 가능하도록 하여, 자연생태계, 야생 생물의 서식지를 보호 및 환경 오염원 관리분야의 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 구현된 웹 기반 지리정보 시스템은 국립공원, 야생동물 보호 단체 및 환경단체를 통해 환경정보를 국민에게 제공하여 서비스의 질을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 아울러 향후 생태계 보전 및 자연환경 보전연구에 기여할 것이다.
