Under social changes focusing diversification, human-oriented ecological values and emotional and pscyhological satisfaction have been considered more important in space. Such trend has developed into interest in the effect of architectural space and shape on human perception and consciousness, and space has been considered as interactive in ecological, psychological and behavioral, and aesthetic terms rather than physical environment. In particular, exhibition space where interactive sympathy between environment and users through emotional experiences is more important, can have appropriate interaction through intended relationships between environment and humans in space. Therefore, this study aims to understand affordance, an internal mechanism of space recognition and human behaviors. Then it analysed representative types of exhibition space for emotional experiences as a characteristic of affordance Based on the results analysed, it is expected that introduction of affordance as real information in space will be helpful for effective connection of space with human emotional experiences.

The purpose of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence-based marine ecological education program to improve the ecological sensitivity of elementary school students. The program was taught 11 times within 4 weeks, and an ecological sensitivity test was conducted before and after the program. The statistical results of the tests showed that the developed program improved the ecological sensitivity of elementary school students. Through in-depth interviews, improvements were found in all the areas, such as empathy for the living things, interest in nature, enjoyment of nature, and wonder about nature. Through the marine ecological classes, which used artificial intelligence and virtual reality, the students were able to get closer to nature, and the student participation activities showed a positive effect on their ecological sensitivity. This indicates that experience-oriented education methods are more effective than simple explanatory classes to improve the students' ecological sensitivity, and artificial intelligence technology proved effective in increasing the students' immersion in the class.

This research intends to find the concept of eco-village in suburban area which various people can experience. For this, we established general ideas through theoretical reflections, and found an objective of suburban eco-village through functional practices. According to the research, a composition of eco-village to reduce the environmental load consists of three major functions. First, by forming traditional meanings of eco-village community, it creates eco-friendly life through energy saving and resource recycling. Second, it functions as relieving the stress of the urbanites and healing their mind and body in the nature of formed eco-village community. Finally, the implementation of eco-village is an idea of group of people who tends to live with nature. Thus, by recovering the nature and by preserving the nature with eco-friendly concept, it will be developed by a place where people can experience the importance of nature. However, these three functions should reflect regional characteristics sufficiently, and through saving and utilizing the history, culture and ecological resources of the regions, it gives positive support to local natives' sustainable life. Consequently, it will show the right direction of development of suburban eco-village through each case analysis of these three functions.

It is unfair that environmental pragmatism has been regarded as a mouthpiece for industrial expediency and business boosterism. John Dewey's radical pragmatism known as 'Instrumentalism' has provoked ecological fundamentalists' criticism more vehemently than any other pragmatic philosophies. However, most of the presumptive misunderstandings of such critics as Holmes Rolston, J. Baird Calliott, Erich Katz, C. A. Bowers and many others come from their limited or reduced reading of Deweyan pragmatism. The following three aspects of Deweyan pragmatism can work out in opening up a dialogical space with those eco-centrist thinkers mentioned above. First, the concept of Dewey's 'primary experience' can articulate the foundationalist view of nature, which is often found in aboriginal cultures. Second, as Andrew Light points out, ecological essentialism can share its metaphilosophical position with the pragmatist epistemology. While Anthony Weston pursues pluralism, admitting that the foundationalism might be one of the efficient approaches to nature, Eric Katz is also clearly attracted to the metaphilosophical element in Weston's argument that anyone who attempts to claim the 'inherent value' of non-human nature never possibly avoids a pitfall of anthropomorphism. Lastly, in a more comprehensive perspective, Dewey's pragmatism shows a philosophical complexity, what Larry A. Hickman calls 'post-postmodernism.' a dynamic interaction between modernism and postmodernism. Significantly enough, the environmental version of this complexity can procure a meeting ground between foundationalist ecology and the pragmatic view of nature.

Various experience keywords were derived through text mining analysis of two National Ecological and Cultural Exploration Routes. The results of this study were drawn as follows: The interaction between the experience keywords was analyzed by the degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality value calculated through the centrality analysis of the research site experience keywords. First, In the text mining analysis, 'walking' appeared as the top keyword in the I, II, and III periods of the two target areas. The keywords related to the stay type of "rental cottage" and "recreational forest" were derived for Masil Road in relation to accommodation facilities. However, the keywords related to the accommodation were not derived in Gubul Road. Second, as a result of the centrality analysis, the degree centrality of the keywords "walking", "sea", "look", "salt flats" of Masil Road and "walking", "lake" and "park" of Gubul Road was high. The keywords located at the center are "walking" and "sea" in the Masil Road, and "walking" in the Gubul Road. As an influential keyword, Masil Road is "experience" and Gubul Road is "history". Third, According to the results of the analysis, the keywords that appeared at the top of the Gubul Road are derived from the keywords related to the 1 ~ 8 course, and it is judged that the visitors are visiting the 1 ~ 8 course trail evenly. However, the Gubul Road only appears in the top keyword only for a few courses. Through this, it seems that three courses are intensively visited as the main course of 6 Gubul Road, 6-1 Gubul Road, and 8 Gubul Road.

Before the industrial revolution architecture has been shaped by the natural and cultural inputs. Local constraints become more effective determinants of architecture in the rural contexts because by being disengaged from the webs of transportation and communication, rural settlements have achieved sustainability in difficult conditions. The examples of rural settlement and architecture have provided sustainability through integration with natural inputs within the geographical context because they have reached the goals of ecological design within the local constraints. Although this feature of the rural cultural landscapes has been emphasized frequently, tangible standards could not be developed in order to interpret their ecological design principles from the perspectives of the contemporary building sector and planning. However, the historical experience indicates that the sustenance of ecological performance can be possible as a result of integrated planning at the overall scale of the settlement. Therefore, the existing standards are not qualified for interpreting the rural contexts. This study develops a method for analysing, interpreting and evaluating traditional rural settlements and certifying new implementations in the rural environments in the light of the given literature review, discussion and methodological proposal.

The purpose of this study is to analysis the influence of fishing villages experience programs choice by the tourist characteristics. As an analysis method, a statistical technique of multinomial logistic regression was used. The dependent variable have typified about 70 fishing experience programs, such as tidal-flat experience, fishery experience, and fishing experience, operated by the fishing village experience recreation villages into 9 programs. The independent variables consisted of 7 groups of people: gender, age, marital status, presence of children, experience of visiting a village in a rural and fishing village experience, preference of a village in a recreational experience, and recognition of a village in a fishing village experience. As a result of analysis, no significant differences were found that the selection group preferring 'fishing culture experience', 'leports experience', 'ecological craft experience', and 'festival and event experience' in the selection of fishing village experience program compared to the group choosing 'rural experience'. On the other hand, the group preferring 'tidal flat experience' analysis that 'married' is about 14 times higher than 'unmarried', and the group preferring 'fishing village experience' is 9.55 times higher than the group preferring 'rural village experience'. In the group preferring 'fishery experience' and 'fishing experience', the group preferring 'fishing experience recreation village' was 9.21 times and 14.34 times higher than the group preferring 'rural experience recreation village'. In the 'food experience', 'married' was 25 times higher than 'unmarried'.

Ecological parks enable the sustainable use of natural resources and can be used as a place for site based environmental education. This study presented an opportunity to expand the scope of user perceptions and leisure benefits into urban ecological parks. However, in-depth studies which are aimed at eco-park visitors seeking the leisure benefits of the eco experience programs are lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the urban ecological park user' characteristics which were derived by analyzing the leisure benefits and attitudes for the environment. Also, the attitudes about the environment, and the leisure benefits of visiting urban ecological parks was found to influence visitors' overall satisfaction. To accomplish the purposes of this study, a questionnaire survey with 282 samples was carried out on the urban ecological park(Gildong ecological park, Yeouido tributary ecology park). The results of the analyses are as following: urban ecological park visitors had a positive attitude about the environment, and felt satisfied by the visitors' leisure benefits. The study also examined the relationships between visitors' expectations of the leisure benefits both before visiting and after visiting. The results showed that ecological park visitors had greater expectations regarding the leisure benefits of the ecological program. Leisure benefits have a positive influence on overall satisfaction, and a positive attitude for the environment does not affect satisfaction. This study reaches the conclusion that the ecology experience program utilizing ecological parks is very effective with regard to overall satisfaction in urban areas toward the general environment and ecological parks. One of the major implications of this study is to offer a way to improve user leisure benefits and promote ecological programs by developing ecological parks for the future.

The purpose of this study is to provide the basic reference for appropriate ecological park planning through investigation and analysis of inviting environment of Suncheon Bay Ecological Park within the framework of 'universal design'. For this, investigating items were selected through literature reviews and legal standard of ecological park suggested by laws. Field survey on Suncheon Bay Ecological Park was conducted, The results suggesting analytical and practical implications are as follows. First, guided handles of any facilities were not equipped, so urgent supplementation is needed with legal standard of universal design. Especially, detailed criterion of universal design focusing on visitors' convenience should be reflected. Second, all facilities for the blind were not equipped and the floor height of entrance was also unsuitable. It implies that the disabled and the senior are restrained from doing independent activity, therefore, appropriate standard focusing on 'universal design' for the wide open activity space such as the park area should be re-provided. Finally, guidelines for applicable universal design of the activity space for the experience on the ecological park should be re-established.
