This paper aims to grasp the characteristics of the cognition and preference on the continents, their relationship, and then each nation's location and direction in case of Korean high school students. First, there exists difference of cognition by six continents as well as by gender and experience of foreign visit among the students. The students have somewhat different preference by each continent, which was affected by gender and experience of foreign visit as well. Second, the cognition of the students on each nation's location showed a positive relation with that on the continents, which was decided by adjacent distance with Korea. The empirical results showed that the higher the gaps of latitude over longitude are, the lower the cognition of the students on direction among nations are. Moreover there are significant gaps by gender and experience of foreign visit in orientation ability. As a result, the geography education may have to be develop the high school students' balanced cognition ability in relation to continents and nations.

This papers studies the causalities and effects on the relationship between inbound tourism(TOU) and the production amount of service industry in China, using the unit root test, the Granger causality test, the cointegration test, and VECM. we take their natural logarithm and define them as TOU and SGDP: these represent the distributed variable based the lagged values of the number of international tourists by continent and real production amount in service industry of China, respectively. The results of empirical study of this papers are as follows: Firstly, in the unit root test, we found that each time series was unstable one that has unit root. This result made me use 1st differenced data for this empirical study. Secondly, in the Granger casuality test, the study results show that there is unilateral casuality relation between DLSGDP-$DLTOU_i$ except DLSGDP-DLTOUL model for the same time, while no casuality relation between DLTOU-DLSGDP for all models of China. Thirdly, there is cointegration relation between all models for the period of 1980-2008.

These surveys were conducted for the purpose of fundamental data of environmental ecology to save the damage of the fieldmice at the National Park of Mt. Jiri, shown especially in the 5 areas of Jang-dang, U-pyung, Jung-san-ri, Sea-seok and Dae-sung area from October, 1983 to September, 1984 during which the fieldmice were very active. The results were summarized as follows; 1) Fieldmice observed were 3 species: Clethrionomys rufocanus regulus, Apodemus speciosus peninsulae and Apodemus agrarius coreae. 2) Types of fieldmice hole were of 5 types; around the roots of trees, at fallen trees, between rocks and the ground, on the surface of the slope ground, on the surface of the ground. The holes were found mostly around the trees (33.2%). 3) Inhabitant ratio was the highest at Dae-sung area (22.6%). Breeding was the most active in July. 4) Females found in July at Sea-seok area were the most in the number (6.6%). Males found at U-pyung area were the most in July in the number, at Sea-seok area in May, at Dae-sung area in July (5.4%). 5) The weight ranged between 20.3g and 57.4g. Clethrionomys rufocanus regulus was the heaviest (37.8g), Apodemus speciosus peninsulae the next and Apodemus agrarius coreae the highest. The heaviest were those found at Dae-sung area.

Over the past four decades reproductive behavior has changed rapidly in much of the developing countries. The average total fertility rate has fallen by half from six or more to near three today. Between 1960 and 2000 the largest fertility decline occurred in Asia and Latin America. The mortality rate has decreased in most developing countries. The purpose of this study is to review the pattern of demographic transition in developing countries. At first, this study focuses on the regional fertility transition. In Africa, the total fertility rate has decreased from 6.59 to 4.85 between 1960 and 2000. However, the rate has rapidly fallen from 5.76 to 2.34 in East Asia. The same pattern is found in Latin America. The mortality rate has also decreased in most of developing countries. It is also interesting to find that there is a clear difference among developing countries. In terms of crude death rate, Latin American countries show the lowest rate, while African countries remain still high rate. The study also shows the relationship between socioeconomic indicators and fertility/mortality in developing countries. The result supports the hypothesized relationship between education and fertility. However, the effects of urbanization and income on fertility do not show consistent result. About mortality rate, however, the study shows the significant relationship between urbanization and infant mortality rate, between income and mortality. The study finally emphasizes that we should include 'AIDS' in the study of mortality in African countries.

This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between forest understory habitat and small rodents in the study sites of 500m, 800m and 1,100m a. s. l. of 6 areas in Mt. Chirisan National Park from July 1997 to August 1998. Coverage of understory vegetation and depth of litter layer were increased as the increase of altitude. Seventy seven individuals of Apodemus agrarius, A. peninsulae and Eothenomys regulus were captured in all study areas. There were significantly correlations among coverage of understory vegetation, depth of litter layer and number of captured small rodents. Increase of understory vegetation coverage and litter layer would provide the proper habitat condition for small rodents.

To assess on the biological control potential with the native fishes, Aphyocypris chinensis, Oryzias sinensis, Misgurnus mizolepis, Pseudorasbora parva, Carassius auratus, Odontobutis interrupta were tested in relation to optimal condition controling mosquitoes in Seosan region. As a result of larvivorous activity for predation rate and temperature difference along kinds of native fishes, predation rate of Aphyocypris chinensis was the highest and predation rate of Misgurnus mizolepis was the lowest under the $23^{\circ}C$. Contrastively, predation rate of Aphyocypris chinensis and Odontobutis interrupta was the highest in least time. Predation rate of Misgurnus mizolepis was the lowest under the all temperature among six species fishes. Aphyocypris chinensis and Pseudorasbora parva in low, Carassius auratus, Misgurnus mizolepis and Odontobutis interrupta in bottom appeared high predation rate along the water depth. And predation rate of Oryzias sinensis was high as 95% at surface. As a result of measuring time taken to predate 50 mosquito larvae by 3 species fishes, two Aphyocypris chinensis took 10minutes, two Oryzias sinensis took 21min., two Misgurnus mizolepis took 45min. But one Aphyocypris chinensis and Misgurnus mizolepis took 8min., one Misgurnus mizolepis and Oryzias sinensis took 17min.

This study was conducted to analyze the patterns associated with the short-term variability of CO$_2$ concentrations over 24-h scale within and across the Korean Peninsula. In the course of our study, we compared the data sets obtained from Moo-Ahn (MAN) station located in the far western coastal area of Korea with those determined from major background observatory stations around the world from the periods of Aug. 1995 to Dec. 1997. The mean CO$_2$ concentration of the MAN area for the whole study periods, when computed using the daily mean values, was found out to be 374.5${\pm}$6.6 ppm (N=884); seasonal mean values were found out to be 378${\pm}$5.2 (spring: N=181), 372${\pm}$10.2 (summer: N =210), 372${\pm}$7.2 (fall: N=243), and 376${\pm}$5.4 ppm (winter: N=206). When the data from MAN was compared with those of major background stations, the effects of both daily and seasonal components appear to vary distinctively across different stations. Those effects are expected to reflect the mixed effects of various factors which include: seasonal pollution patterns, weather conditions, vegetation, and so forth. Based upon this comparative analysis, we suspect that the MAN area is under the strong influence of anthropogenic source processes relative to all the other stations under consideration. If that is not the case, the existence of enhanced CO$_2$ level may be rather ubiquitous phenomena in Korea. More detailed inspection of CO$_2$ behavior from various respects is strongly desired in the future.

In order to monitor the occurrence of chigger mites, collectors were installed at four places: rice field, field, waterway, and grass field. Totally, 207 chigger mites belonging to 7 species were collected. Starting with 2 mites in the 5 weeks of September, a maximum of 49 mites were collected during 3 weeks of November. Totally, 81, 52, 47 and 27 mites were collected from grass field, waterways, rice field, and field, respectively. Analysis of sampling and collecting chigger mites determined that the most encountered species was Neotrombicula kwangneun (73, 35.3%), followed by Leptotrombidium palpale (46, 22.2%), N. tamiyai (41, 19.8%) and N. asakawai (27, 13.0%). The grab results of 44 wild rodents revealed Apodemus agrarius (35, 79.5%), Crocidura spp. (5, 11.4%), Craseomys regulus (2, 4.5%), and A. peninsulae (2, 4.5%; which had not been detected previously). A total of 6,628 chigger mites were collected from rodents, and the chigger index was determined to be 150.6. Chigger index was found to be highest at 234.2 in October, followed by 223.3 in November, 75.6 in April, and 66.2 in May. PCR from all chigger mite samples tested negative for the Tsutsugamushi pathogen.

To offer the basic information for sustainable production of forest resources and conservation of the global environment, change in potential natural vegetation (PNV) associated with climate change due to doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide ($2{\times}CO_2$) was estimated with the global natural vegetation mapping system based an K${\ddot{o}}$ppen scheme. The system interpolates climate data spherically to each grid cell, determines the vegetation types onto the grid cell, and produces potential vegetation map and area on the globe and continents. The climate data consist of the current, ($1{\times}CO_2$) climate prior to AD 1958 observed at some 2,000 stations and the doubling ($2{\times}CO_2$) climate estimated from Meteorological Research Institute of Japan. The vegetation zone under the $2{\times}CO_2$ climate scenario expanded mainly toward the poles due to the rise in temperature. The changed PNV area on the globe amounts to 1/3 (4.91 billion (G) ha) of the total land area (15.04 Gha). Kappa statistic for judging agreement between the patterns of vegetation distribution under $1{\times}CO_2$ climate and $2{\times}CO_2$ climates shows good agreement (0.63) for the globe as a whole. The most stable areas are desert and ice. The potential forest area (PFA) was estimated at 6.82 Gha of the land area in $2{\times}CO_2$ climate scenario. In terms of continental changes in PFA, North America and Asis are increased under the $2{\times}CO_2$ climate. However, the potential forest arms of the other continents are decreased by the climate. Europe has no change in the PFA. Especially, the expansion of desert area in Oceania would be accelerated by the $2{\times}CO_2$ climate.
