This study is to explain understanding types about the concept of a 'Region' in the 3rd grade high school students(39) through open-ended questionnaires and describe the pedagogical utilizations for this. Students' understanding types about the concept of a 'Region' are compared and then determined through two meaning agreement and association between meaning of students' understanding which is collected through open-ended questionnaires and meaning of a 'Region' which is described in high school curriculum. The results are as in the following. First, Students' understanding types about the concept of a 'Region' were divided into four categories: full, partial, ambiguous, and converted understanding. Second, The degree of right meaning agreement and association existing between two meanings is rising steadily by converted, ambiguous, partial, and full understanding. For this reason, This result can make sure the understanding degree about the concept of a 'Region' is different depending on the students. Third, Students' partial understanding, ambiguous understanding and converted understanding on region concept could be judged as misconception not fully corresponded to region concept in the curriculum explanation. Fourth, Teachers can achieve conceptual change through this misconception as a subject matter of educational dialogue for meaning change.

Purpose of this study is to define the wise use of Nakdong River estuary based on the expert's survey aiming to identify the core conservation area, the buffering area and the transition area of the estuary. The boundary of the each area is determined by overlaying the expert's opinion of the conservation area, the Biotop conservation value evaluation carried out by Busan Metropolitan city and the designated legal boundary of conservation such as Cultural Reserve area and Wetland Reserve area. Then the concept for wise use of the core preservation area, the buffering area and the transition area is set by the discussion, brainstorming and several workshops. We believe this research leads the sustainable development in the area of the Nakdong River estuary and helps to minimize the conflict among the stakeholders.

2000년대 이후 영구 지방 정책의 목표는 지역의 ‘균형 발전’과 ‘지속 가능 발전’을 촉진하는 것이다. 최근 영국에서는 미국에서 도입된 BID 제도가 정부의 적절한 지원과 개발 주체들의 협업의 성공으로 영국 전역에 급속히 퍼지고 있다. 성공사례를 분석한 결과 다양한 프로젝트 참여자들의 이해관계와 참여를 조정하는 ‘프로젝트 매니저’의 역량이 가장 중요하며 영국 TCM과 BID 제도의 핵심은 지역 마케팅(place marketing)이자 지역 브랜딩 (place branding)임을 알 수 있었다. 한국의 경우 영국형 TCM과 BID가 도입되기 위해서는 정보의 섬세한 마스터 플랜과 프로젝트 ‘종합성과평가’(CPA)가 먼저 준비되어야 하며 동시에 지역 마케팅에 대한 이해와 인식을 지금보다 획기적으로 제고 시켜야 한다.

EIU has evolved diversely depending on the national environment and culture on the basis of the philosophy of individual human rights and world peace articulated in the "1974 Recommendation on EIU". However, the global environment surrounding EIU has been changed socially, economically, culturally and ecologically in the 21st century, and therefore it is necessary to raise the following questions: Is the concept of EIU initiated for international understanding and cooperation for world peace in the 20th century still valid in the 21st century? Which direction should we take in order for EIU to be efficient in the globalized world? To answer these questions, this study reviewed and analyzed the historical development and current trends of the EIU in the regions of Europe, North America, Asia Pacific area, and Africa. For the empirical study, thirty-four experts in EIU selected from the four regions were interviewed by the researchers. Based on the interviews and the related literature review, it was found that the diverse terms of EIU were used in the four regions and the focus on EIU was different depending on the geographical, historical and social environment of each region. But, despite of the diversity in terminology in EIU, human rights, peace, equity and social justice which are emphasized by UNESCO, were universally taught in EIU. The EIU in these regions is currently dealt with in school education, social education and lifelong education, and particularly global citizenship allowing multiple identities is importantly treated together with citizenship education. Another important aspect of EIU that was commonly found in these four regions was that global citizenship education for solving global problems was coexistent with the reinforcement of nationalism for the economic competency of each nation in a globalized world. The issue of global inequality was particularly dealt with in EIU, and the teaching of voluntary civic involvement and responsibility were particularly emphasized in EIU. Based on these research findings, the study proposes "glocalism", connecting global issues with local issues for solving global problems, as a new approach to the EIU of the 21st century.

Currently serious conflicts arose for the use of coastal area in Korea. However, there is no mediation program or mediators' activities for conflict resolution which are shown in the developed countries. Even though, the MOMAF(Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries) was established in 1997 and the Division of Coastal Zone Management under the Ministry took over the authority to establish ICM program and formulated the CZMA(Coastal Zone Management Act) in 1998 after understanding the seriousness of coastal degradation due to the importance of coastal zone management and the understanding of dispute resolution, it still lacks consistency among legislative power on the continuous policy for wise coastal use and management which results coastal conflicts. The objective of this study is to lay the evaluation criteria for the formalized objective evaluation among disputants of coastal conflicts for the better understanding and characterizing of coastal conflicts in Korea. In order to do so, this study has adopted the PCA(Principal Component Analysis) for the subtraction of the components of evaluation mechanism to describe the present conditions of conflicts in the selected study area(Sihwa lake), to analyze the problems, and then to explore alternative approaches for resolving the conflicts. As research methodologies, we have depended upon literature review and field survey methods. As field survey methods, we employed structured questionnaires for the various samples from the experts of research institutes, professors, representatives of NGOs and citizens. Survey results suggested that 5 representative elements comprising 35 detailed elements could be identified. Based on these results, this study was able to identify and classify the evaluation mechanism and help to resolve coastal conflicts in Korea.

This study seeks to address concerns, such as measurement and analysis in financial literacy, and also offers comparative evidence of financial literacy among Korean-Japanese, Japanese and Korean high school students. A robust measure of financial literacy amongst young people will provide information that can indicate whether the current approach to financial education is effective. Comparative results could be summarized as follows: First, the mean percentage of correct answers in a Korean school in Tokyo was lower than that in Japan, Korea, and U.S. Second, in income, saving & investing, spending & credit areas, Japanese students were more literate financially than those in the U.S., Korea, and a Korean school in Tokyo. And, in money management area, Korean students had higher score than those in the U.S., lower than those in Japan. Third, while the financial literacy in academic preparation was the highest area, that in household management was the lowest among other areas for all studies in Japan, Korea, U.S., and a Korean school in Tokyo.

이 논문은 '경관'과 '기호'표상에 근거한 지역학흡의 실제를 제시하기 위한 것이다. '경관'과 '기호' 표상은 오랜 역사적인 과정을 통해서 그 지역에서 구성된 지역적인 담론을 보다 구체적인 형태로 보여주는 것이므로 지역정체성 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있다. 오랜 역사적인 과정 속에서 형성된 지역담론은 각각의 시대적인 맥락에 따라 다양한 층위를 지니고 있다. 따라서 지역 담론은 지역의 변화된 모습에 대한 이해뿐만 아니라 오늘날의 지역을 이해하는 데에도 도움을 줄 수 있어 지역학습의 중요한 지표가 될 수 있다. 나아가 '경관'과 '기호'표상은 그 지역 사람들의 생활세계를 구성하고 있는 중요한 요소이므로 학습자의 삶과 유리되지 않는 지역학습을 할 수 있다는 점에서 커다란 의미가 있다고 본다.

Identification and mangement of ecosystem service hotspots are necessary to set environmental policies that include concepts of ecosystem service. Assessment and mapping of ecosystem service hotspot referring areas with high amount of ecosystem services provide essential information to manage ecosystem services effectively. Assessment of hotspots based on regional environmental stakeholders' perception is an useful approach to identify priority areas where management practices are required. This study estimated weights on regulating ecosystem services from regional environmental stakeholders' surveys in Ansan, and then, identified regulating service hotspots with weights. The result indicated that regulating services are, in order of importance, water quality, air quality, erosion, and climate control. The north-eastern forest of Ansan was mainly revealed as an ecosystem service hotspot. Ecosystem service hotspots were spatially distributed similarly regardless of environmental stakeholders' weights. Identification of ecosystem service hotspot with environmental stakeholders' perception can be applied in decision-support tools for ecosystem service management.
