This study was intended to answer the question, 'What kinds of effects will be aroused by experiential learning for environment based on living area?'. Experiential learning for environment was operated to 17 elementary school students in 4th grade in Kyeong-san city. The results were drawn analyzing the mind map for the changes of environmental consciousness before and after learning, and they are as below. First, it had an effect to change the meaning association of the relationship between 'river and me'. Meaning association was 'river-a thing' before experiential learning, but it was developed as 'river-a thing-me' after learning. This means that students expanded understanding of the world that they were belonging and self-spatialization was promoted. The expansion of meaning association would be a start point and a method to promote their segmentation for each student. Second, students could self-directly modify misconception and preconception after experiential learning. It showed that students could find meanings in the world that they were belonging by experiential learning for environment, and misconception obtained by concept learning without actual situation could be revised through the truth recognition in meanings, and student could see what things displayed. Therefore preconception would be corrected. Of course, everything would not be completed by just one time of experiential learning, and consistent experience learning should be operated. Third, experiential learning promoted the change of sensitivity. Students had shallow sensitivity, which appeared in the relation with things, since having learned only inside of class without a direct observation. However their sensitivity could be increased by experiencing specific things. Fourth, there was the change of classification recognition. Students found properties of things with a direct observation. It raised their ability to classify things, and to understand an individual thing in 'a class'.

A reduction in the number of high school students in Eup and Myeon districts is very severe. This issue leads to the problem with educational programs of school and an academic achievement gap. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of areas and layout types of the floor plan of high school facilities in Eup and Myeon districts of Jeju Island where the number of students reduces and to provide a fundamental material for establishing school environments. The floor plan of school facilities was categorized into learning, support, common, and other areas and the characteristics of each area were analyzed. As a result, it was necessary to make spatial and facility improvements in common area and support area. The layout type of each area was classified into centralized type, distributed type, and mixed type, and then each type was analyzed. As a result, the main building had low points of the floor plan for learning area and common area. In order to respond to the number of students, it is required to establish reasonable spatial plan criteria and guidelines under the supervision of Office of Education and furthermore to make an effort to create futuristic educational facilities.
