Although Feng-Shui has been widely used in architecture and urban design and planning for thousands of years, it has not been properly studied as a scientific and thus rational approach. Feng-Shui has been recognized as an environment-friendly design and planning method in recent years due to its thoughtful consideration on the harmonious relationship between architecture and the natural environment. This study investigates its major principles and techniques that have been widely used in the design of houses through previous relevant researches. Then, the principles and techniques that are relevant to the residential uses are indexed for the quantification of Feng-Shui. Ten Feng-Shui indices are formulated and each index is quantified to make five points for a perfect match. These indices are then tested on three different types of house in Korea, namely traditional Korean houses, contemporary Korean style houses and contemporary architects' houses. The result shows that the first type of house records the highest Feng-Shui points and then the second and third types in that order. This result convinces us that the Feng-Shui indices can very effectively represent the degree of environmentally friendly design.

산도(山圖)는 가장 이상적이라고 생각하고 관찰한 지형을 풍수지리적 공간모형에 빗대어 표현한 지도로 풍수지리의 혈(穴)과 명당을 표현한 것이다. 본 연구는 중국 명나라 때 발간된 대표적인 풍수서인 "지리인자수지(地理人子須知)"에 게재된 산도를 분석하여 지형표현의 특징을 산도의 시점, 중심지향적 지도, 투시점, 이중적축척, 산론(山論), 혈의 세부적 표현 등의 세부항목으로 나누어 살펴보았다. "지리인자수지(地理人子須知)"에 게재된 산도의 지형표현 특징은 다음과 같다. 시점은 부감법이 사용되었으며 묘지의 중심, 즉 혈처를 중심으로 세밀하게 지형이 묘사되는 중심지향적 지도로 혈처 주위의 중요지형은 실제 지형보다 파장되거나 생략되는 경우가 많았다. 또한 묘지에서 판찰되지 않는 중요지형은 사점이동을 통해 관찰하고 이를 세밀하게 표현하였다. 산론 부분에는 지리적 위치와 산맥의 흐름과 체계, 풍수적 특징, 묘지의 좌향과 주변지형, 발복 정도를 설명하는 내용이 주를 이루고 있었다. 산도의 방위성은 상대적인 것이고, 축척의 개념이 드러나지 않으나 병당 공간과 거점도시 및 방위성을 갖는 지형을 표현하는 과정에서 아중적 축척을 사용하거나 근경 중경 원경을 묘사하는 과정에서 다중적 축척을 사용한 경우가 많았다.

기존연구는 양택(陽宅)에서 형기풍수(形氣風水)를 적용한 건축물에 관한 사례연구는 많이 하였으나, 현공풍수(玄空風水)를 적용한 건축물에 대한 사례연구는 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현공풍수(玄空風水)를 적용한 서울시 종로구에 위치하는 A, B, C 빌딩의 사례를 연구하고자 한다. 연구결과 첫째, A빌딩의 지운(地運)이 가장 긴 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 A빌딩은 복(福)이 오랫동안 유지된다는 의미이다. 둘째, 4국에서 왕산왕향(旺山旺向)은 A빌딩과 B빌딩에서 파악되었다. 이 결과는 배산임수(背山臨水)와 같은 형국으로 좋은 국(局)을 갖추었다는 의미이다. 셋째, 이기풍수(理氣風水)로 판단한 길흉은 "상"으로 양호한 편으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 시간과 공간이 잘 형성되어 길한 빌딩으로 기업성장에 큰 발전이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

East Asian explain the changes of substance happened on earth and those of human life with the conceptual frame of "Gi-ki"(地氣; earth vital energy) and organize them by the system of "Feng-shui(風水) theory. The core of Feng-shui theory is reading the expression of the nature and feeling the Gi-ki from the expression. One of the properties of the earth is that the earth has a magnetic field associated with it- the Geomagnetic field. The geomagnetic field is produced by a combination of the effects of electric currents in the earth's liquid core, the magnetization of crustal rocks, external electric current systems that surround the earth and currents induced in the outer layers of the earth by magnetic field variations. The sameness of logic between Feng-shui and geopathic zones is that both are concerned with the discrimination of site and the energy of places, in other words both disciplines are concerned with how the environment can influence people. In this context the operation of Gj-ki can be related with the effect caused by geomagnetic field on site. In this study Jongmyo(宗廟), one of the representative traditional architecture in Korea is selected because the site selection and building layout follows Feng-shui faithfully according to Taejo silok (太祖實錄, Annals of King Taejo). Observing the landforms surrounding Jongmyo, Jongmyo is apparently located in auspicious places named Gumge Poranhyoeng(金鷄抱卵形, a Feng-shui landscape of golden hen sitting on eggs). The geomagnetic investigation of Jongmyo shows that the geomagnetic values of Toekan(the space near Hyeol) are relatively high and uniform and those of Sangweoldae and Haweoldae are decreased in accordance with the distance. The result shows that there is possibility that Feng-shui has scientific basis related with geomagnetic field. Feng-shui theory can suggest a direction for designing the sustainable building for living with nature.

The purpose of this study was to systemize the 'Eagi(理氣)' theory in Feng Shui which has been neglected in Korea because of its difficulties in the current Feng Shui theory and to make it easier to apply in the art of placement. The study also analysed the characteristics of the location of a sample village in terms of Feng Shui. Besides the placement analysis, the interpretation of the Yangtaek(陽宅) theory was analysed on the layout of the outdoor space of the building. As the initial step, various theories about Feng Shui were investigated. Based on those, the framework of the Feng Shui theory was summarized for application to the case study. Yangtaeksamyo(陽宅三要) was referred to for consideration of Feng Shui theory outside the residential buildings. At the same time, configurational analysis of the ground was carried out with the naked eye and actual measurements were taken using a specific compass(佩鐵). The results were summarized as follows : First, the 'Eagi' theory in Feng Shui, which finds a 'lucky site(穴)' selects the 'geomagnetic aspect(坐向)' by analyzing the natural forces of wind and water. In this theory, the aspect was regarded of most importance. 'Yangtaek Feng Shui (陽宅風水)' was the theory that people's ups and downs depends on the direction of the place where they live on, and was developed on the basis of 'I ching(周易)'. Second, the village and the house in the case study have been considered as lucky places from old times and this was equally verified by the 'Eagi (理氣)' theory and the "Yangtaek (陽宅)' theory.

The latest urban planning is taking advantage of the city's spatiality, and its weight is increasing. The spatiality of the city extends to the three-dimensional air space, including the underground space and the surface space, and this is the relative location of land-use situations utilizing the characteristics of the feng shui geography. In this study, the urban planning of the Suwon Department and the construction process of the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress were analyzed based on the feng shui geography, using the topography and geographical features of Paldal Mountain as the center of the data. Natural-friendly urban planning is required to adapt to natural laws and to preserve and share the ecosystem while harmonizing with the surrounding environment.

This research was to analyze the direction ideas of residential Feng Shui. In ancient China residential places were been established by Xiangzhai(相宅) and Buzhai(卜宅) usages. And ancient Chinese always considered geographical features of mountains and waters for setting up their living places. Geographical features were also considered importantly ih representative residential Feng Shui books, Zhaijing(宅經) and Yangzhaisanyao(陽宅三要). In Zhaihing, 24 direction ideas are co-related with Fagui(八卦) and GanZhi(千支) theories, and they are most important residential Feng Shiui direction theories. The basic thoughts of 24 direction ideas of Zhaijing were already formed in Qin(秦) dynasty and modified in early Han(漢) dynasty. In Zhaijing, residential places were splited into Yangzhai(陽宅) and Yinzhai(陰宅) according to YinYang's Qi directions. Those were actually formed from meticulous observations on changing processes of YinYangWuXing(陰陽五行)'s Qi(氣). Constantly changed Qi of YinYangWuXing were studied by old chinese people from the observations on the sun, the moon, the five stars, the Great Bear, and ErShiBaXiu(二十八宿). The origin of Zhaijing's direction ideas is the direction system of ShiPan(式盤) in Qin and Han dynasty. On ShiPan TianGan(天干) Dizi(地支) Fagui TianDiRenGui(天地人鬼) were arranged very systematically into four and 24 directions. DongxiSizhai(東西四宅) theories of Yangzhaisanyao had edited more lately than Zhaijing(宅經), and formed according to Fagui(八卦)'s YinYang(陰陽) principles. But the basic ideas is same with Zhaihing's. It proves that residential Feng Shui theories were constantly improved and modified. And both residential Feng Shui direction ideas of Zhaijing and Yangzhaisanyao are the gentral ideas in old china. The point of that ideas is Sky's four or 24 directions are correspndence with the earth's. It came from the traditional thoughts that Heaven, Earth, and mankind are c0-related and influenced each other according to Qi's changing processes. Gather up above mentioned, the direction ideas of residential Feng Shui is a systematic thoughts of old chinese for harmonizing Tian-Di-Ren-Gui, and is their specific methods for harmonizing the nature's Qi, mankind and spirits.

Mt. Umyeon is a low-altitude mountain near a residential area, and the actual forest area is not large due to the fact that development for use as a living green space is being completed and in progress across the mountain, so the buffering action for landslides was weak. The unit was located at the top of Mt. Umyeon, and there were reports of contents related to the military unit in some accident areas. Some experts suggested that the landslide that started on the cut side of the unit could be one of the causes of the landslide at Mt. Umyeon. It is presumed that there was a sudden collapse of trees that had fallen due to erosion inside the valley. In the case of the Umyeon landslide, localized torrential rain is the biggest cause, but the fact that it suffered a lot of damage is the result of no preemptive measures. In particular, it can be said that the damage was caused by the concentration of residential and commercial facilities due to the unplanned urban expansion without prior review of the feng shui geography of settlement areas. The important lesson we have learned is that we should recognize nature as living things and live in harmony and coexistence between humans and nature through understanding and cooperation. Adapting to changes in the environment can survive, but if it doesn't, it will be slaughtered. As such, geography influences changes in feng shui. Changes in feng shui have a profound effect on not only humans but also the natural ecosystem.

신라 말 선종계열 사찰을 대표하는 구산선문(九山禪門)의 개산(開山)은 지방문화의 발흥과 자신감의 표현이었으며 지방 호족들의 사회 경제적 기반을 토대로 한 것이었다. 선종(禪宗)이 유행하던 시기에 주로 재창되었던 구산선문의 입지 특색은 풍수적 논리를 따른 것이다. 풍수가 성행하기 이전에 건립된 사찰들은 주로 전통적인 토착신앙 세력들이 신성시하던 성소, 성지(聖所, 聖地)를 택해 입지했고, 신라의 경우 왕성의 도심 곳곳에 사찰이 수없이 많이 건립되었다. 이후 신라말기에 선종의 유행으로 인해 선종사찰들이 많이 건립되고 풍수도 본격적으로 성행하게 되어 사찰의 입지에 풍수논리가 뒷받침되기 시작했다. 구산선문이 개산(開山)하기 이전의 사찰은 주로 삼산, 오악(三山, 五岳) 등의 영지(靈地)개념에 따른 입지가 많았으나 구산선문은 당시로서는 변방이라 할 수 있는 지역으로 확대되어 독립적인 산문을 재창하였다. 구산선문 각 사찰의 경우 산과 물이 짜임새 있게 조화를 이루고 있어 풍수지리적인 전체성이 잘 드러나고 있다. 각 사찰은 계곡물이 모여 완만히 감싸는 곳, 물을 얻기 용이하면서도 산이 사방으로 들러쳐진 아늑한 곳, 즉 풍수에서 길지(吉地)로 여기는 '산에 기대고 물에 접한' 땅에 입지하여 풍수적인 조건을 잘 갖추고 있다. 구산선문은 주로 분지상의 지세에 입지하였으며 사찰의 축선(軸線)은 지형(내룡(來龍)의 맥세(脈勢))에 따라 이루어졌다. 각 사찰에서 나타나는 장소의 약점은 풍수적인 비보책(裨補策)을 통해 보완하였다.

This research aims to examine the characteristics of tomb sites including tomb mound and attached buildings and also to find out the principles reflected in the traditional oriental Feng-Shui location and spatial composition of Junkyung and Youngkyung tomb at Samcheok. The results of this study are as follows. These tombs harmonize with each other in the cosmic dual forces because Junkyung tomb is men's sex symbol and tiger to lie on his belly and Youngkyung tomb is women's sex symbol in geographical feature. Spatial structure in these tomb sites were placed in a reflected line following the hierarchy of metaphysics by standing high Geumchunkyo(Bridge)-Hongsalmun(Gate)-Jegak(Pavilion)-Bongbun(Tomb mound). Axis structure of these tombs is irregular bent-axis type from Geumchunkyo to Bongbun, specially in case of Youngkyung tomb it is getting more refractive. These tombs are divided into and characterized by three zones. Firstly the space for living people constitutes from Geumchunkyo to Hongsalmun, secondly the semi-sacred space constitutes from Hongsalmun to Jegak, and lastly the space for the dead constitutes from the back of Jegak to Bongbun. - type Jegak instead of T type Jegak generally used at Chosun Dynasty was installed because of claypan stretched out in front of Junkyung tomb and Bongbun of Youngkyung tomb located at a ravine between two mountain ranges.
