  • The research of caves widely deals with geomorphology, meteology, geology, biology, archaeology and physiochemistry. Most famous caves in Korea are in Dongrong Cave in Yongbyun-Goon in 1929, Sungru Cave in Uljin in 1960s. Lava caves were developed as Gymrung Sa Cave, Manjang Cave and Hupje Cave in Cheju Island. Limestone caves, Gosi Cave, Gosu Cave, Nodong Cave and Chundong Cave, were developed for the commercial purposes. Visiting and researching caves are active in Korea. Caves will more be commercialized than before.(omitted)

  • There are some 1,000 natural caves in Korea. Most caves on the mainland are made of limestone, whereas most of the caves on Cheju Island are volcanic in origin. The caves on Cheju, in particular, are internally renowned for their huge size and scientific value. By contrast, the caves on the mainland are not as big, but their unique shapes and formations still attract the attention of international speleologists.(omitted)

  • This study is basic research to present the activation of cave tourism. So first of all for establishing of this study, we examined the distribution characteristics of natural caves and monument caves. The results of this study are as follows; First, monument caves concentrate upon Gangwon-do and Jeju-do. Second, open caves concentrate upon Gangwon-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. Third, typical linkage characteristics of tourism resources surrounding open caves are very high in natural tourism resources. Fourth, It is necessary to develop tourism route though the linkage with other tourism resources. But this study have been partial and fragmentary. In order to increase the number of tourists, we should make them curious about the specific region by presenting the unique characteristics of the region, for example its cultural, social, recreational etc. In other words, in order to attract the tourists open caves should differentiate from other open caves.

  • Most scholars calssify caves into natural resource, but caves possess values of natural and human resource, mix up the features of natural resources and human resources. Now, caves are distributed 260 in Korea. Seongryu Cave is showed in 1967 for the first time, till 1997 12 caves is opened to tourist. But since 1996 the 12 show caves of all is not launched the safety and environment-protection check-up adduced reason for IMF. Then caves must maintain environment of the normal temperature, humidity and dark. But the environment of caves are destroyed by tourism development. Thus to maintain environment of caves, it used to consider the counterplan as follows in restraint of the environmental change. Firstly, in case of development work to open caves, it must keep up with the prototype. Secondly, it must establish a freight depositary to prevent the influence of the caves's stain and damage due to tourist's objects. Thirdly, to maintain the normal temperature and humidity, it must install artificial poultice equipment of the inner parts of caves. Fourthly, in order to prevent the occurrence of $CO_2$, it must assessment of the optimum number of the greatest stayer. Fifthly, the control of closure for a given period of time is useful of the restoration to the cave's original state. Sixthly, by means of make narrow entrance, it should not influence the outer's air on the inner parts on caves. Seventhly, to keep the temperature of the inner part of caves, the lightening should be maintained moderately considering the convenience of a tour. Eightly, when water-proof cables for the lightening bulbs are connected each other, silicon tape is suitable and circuit breakers should be installed at the diverging points of the cables. Ninthly, the direction and angle of the lightening must be changed periodically to prevent green-pollution at the lightening spot. Lastly, when facilities and arrangements are equipped, corrosive materials should be excluded if circumstances allow.

  • 본 연구는 동굴의 이용가치를 제고하고 시대적 요구에 편승하여 동굴 특히 관광개방동굴의 재활성화와 개발 용도별 가치를 고려하여 차별적으로 개발하고 관리운영함으로써 지역의 관광자원 뿐만아니라 지역경제성장의 한 동력원으로서 역할을 논의하고자 한다. 동굴에 대한 개발접근방식의 전환이 요구되며 필히 지역실정과 해당 동굴에 대한 개발가능성을 검토하고 차별화된 개발전략이 반드시 포함되어야 동굴의 가치증대 뿐만아니라 지역의 중요한 자원으로서 인식될 것으로 보여진다.

  • 본 연구에서는 동굴의 민속학적인 접근을 통해 선조들이 어떤 용도로 동굴을 이해하고 활용했는지 주거지로서의 동굴, 그리고 동굴관련 신화와 설화, 속담과 민간신앙, 생활민속으로서의 동굴의 이용을 통해 파악해보고자 하였다. 선사시대 동굴에서 주로 주거 및 식생활을 하였음을 고고학 자료를 통해 파악해 볼 수 있었고, 동굴관련 단군신화가 있어 동굴의 의미를 되새길 수 있으며 동굴마다 신비경과 관련된 동굴 설화가 많아 동굴에 대한 이해를 깊게 하고 있고, 미지의 세계와 관련한 속담, 기도처ㆍ수양처로서의 동굴, 또 현대 생활민속과 관련하여 식품 저장소로서, 군사시설로써의 활용뿐만 아니라, 유희공간인 관광지로써 현대에는 크게 각광받고 있다.

  • In Japan, on the volcanic line from Mt.Fuji to Hachijou Isl. in Pacific, we can see the many fissure erupted craters. The fissure eruption hasn't always left the rift caves. Recently I am investigated this era and recognized the rift caves. at Mt. Fuji 4. Miyake Isl. 3, Hachijou Isl. 3. The time of fissure eruption in Miyake Isl. make the long crack and gush the lava flow. But. we can see the rift caves only in the caldera. In the rift caves, we can see the thin coated lava on the scoria wall of the cavity and not only the side ways to extend by gasic pressure, on the surface of the earth. It is tow type rift caves. 1) The gas run to the side direction and built the cavities and after blowout the ground. 2) The gas built the cavity and then blowout the earth. I think that the thick scoria layers the most important factor and indispensable condition to built the rift caves.
