In this paper Gumho drainage basin is divided into six geomorphic units (Bohyeon, Palgong, Biseul mountainous areas and Yeongcheon, Gyeongsan, Daegu basin), and physical geographical background and distributional characteristics of geotourism resources in each geomorphic unit are examined. Most(32 sites, 78%) of geotourism resources in Gumho basin reflect geomorphological environment, rest(7 sites, 17%) of them reflect geological environment. There are three geomorphological resources in Bohyeon mountainous areas, eight geomorphological resources in Palgong mountainous areas, and five geomorphological resources and one cultural resource in Biseul mountainous areas. There are two geomorphological resources, one geological resource, one biological resource, and two cultural resources in Yeongcheon basin. Among them one biological resource and and one cultural resource reflect local geomorphological environment. In Gyeongsan basin are there one geomorphological resource, three geological resources, and one biological resource, but one biological resource reflects local geomorphological environment. There are eight geomorphological resources, two geological resources, and three biological resources in Daegu basin. But two biological resources among them reflect local geomorphological environment.
