  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the scientific characteristics of speleology and to contribute to the scientific establishment of speleology. For this purpose, I analyzed the scientific specialty of speleology, the relation to other sciences and the scientific approaches. In conclusion, the speleology is the applied and synthetic science, so that the effective approach to the scientific establishment of speleology is to study by means of the organic and symmetric approach than the fragmentary and uniform approaches.

  • SPA means a speleological-photo-artist who possess speleological knowledge and abilities. To be a SPA, it is necessary to combine the parts of speleology, photography and fine arts. The relative difficulty is depend on the major subject which start from speleology, photography, and fine arts. It is more easy to be a SPA come from speleology, than come from the other parts. After learning basic knowledge about speleology, photography and fine arts and then it is advisable to looking for the way to be a photo-artist in the present system. If the SPA take charge of education, it is very useful for the students.

  • The use of a low-frequency cave radio can also verify survey accuracy. A receiving unit on the surface can pinpoint the depth and location of a transmitter in a cave passage by measurement of the geometry of its radio waves. A survey over the surface from the receiver back to the cave entrance forms an artificial loop with the underground survey, whose loop-closure error can then be determined. In the past, caves were reluctant to redraw complex cave maps after detecting survey errors. Today, computer cartography can automatically redraw cave maps after data has been corrected.

  • With activation plan of Speleological Society of Korean like home page of Speleological Society of Japan cave crane information, caving information, cave Q/A, cave publication, the relation site back the possibility of seeing information regarding the cave which is various in order to be, it reorganizes. The possibility of coming in contact in order to be, various branch information also the general rain specialist regarding the cave resources. Currently the possibility of seeing the various branch data for the application of the cave resources at any time it is, home page of Speleological Society of Korean the possibility of doing to lead in order to be, it proposes the plan. From one person it will be able to study the data regarding the cave of various field in order, all curricular materials regarding the cave resources the educational program which leads a home page about under developing it proposes the activation plan of the cave resources.

  • Caves abd the life they contain face constant pressure from a worldw demand for cement. hydro-electric power and land for building a agriculture. The 8th International Congress of Speleology held in Kentu two years ago passed a resolution on behalf of the IUCN "Cave Speci Group" which called for "...biological surveys of threatened caves. mos in the tropics, and ecological studies to solve specific managem provlems on the causes of endangerment and how these can be remov or mitigated". This final article in the "Cave Life" series explains the n for an ecological approach to cavelife conservation.

  • Conservation is the optimum sustained use of natural resources; therefore, cave conservation must provide not only for the protection of the character, decoration and biota of caves, but also for the means whereby people might enjoy and understand the caves that are their heritage. A cave is a natural subterranean cavity into which a man can enter to a point where daylight cannot be seen. Caves are not only interesting physical entities that provide distinctive sensory and perceptual experiences and invoke a variety of responses, but they also provide unique opportunities for scientific study. Speleology is the study of caves, and in New Zealand it attracts workers from many disciplines of the universities and government research establishments.(omitted)

  • The pisolite of the limstone caverns in korea is one of the varieties of speleology. the main component of the pisolite is calcite, butpisolite often contains quartz and ilite too. the mechanism of encrusting is complicated,but the main process is the accretion which is supposed to take place as fast as 2mmper century.
