The purpose of this study is to qualitatively inquiry the narratives on the most impressive memories of children experienced in the forest. Considering Pestalozzi's argument that nature is a true teacher, the authors of this study attempted to identify and understand what kinds of experiences children did in the forest and what they learned from the experiences via the narratives of the children. In the process of analysis, the children's narratives were classified into 'narrative on the forest,' 'narrative on the most impressive moments,' 'narrative on changes,' and 'narrative on narratives.' Via the narrative analysis, it was identified that when, with whom, where, why the children went to the forest and that how their thoughts and behaviors on 'the forest,' 'other people,' and 'oneself from the emotions and experiences in the specific moments in the forest were changed. Furthermore, the thoughts and attitudes of the children on the forest narratives including what they wanted to friends on their experiences in the forest and their impressions on talking about the forest in this research were identified.

This study used text mining methodology to focus on the perceptions of the landscape embedded in text that users spontaneously uploaded to the "Taean Travel"blogpost. The study area is the Taean Coast National Park. Most of the places that are searched by 'Taean Travel' on the blog were located in the Taean Coast National Park. We conducted a network analysis on the top three places and extracted keywords related to the landscape. Finally, using a centrality and cohesion analysis, we derived landscape perceptions and the major characteristics of those landscapes. As a result of the study, it was possible to identify the main tourist places in Taean, the individual landscape experience, and the landscape perception in specific places. There were three different types of landscape characteristics: atmosphere-related keywords, which appeared in Kkotji Beach, symbolic image-related keywords appeared in Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune, and landscape objects-related appeared in Manlipo Beach. It can be inferred that the characteristics of these three places are perceived differently. Kkotji Beach is recognized as a place to appreciate a view the sunset and is a base for the Taean Coast National Park's trekking course. Sinduri Coastal Sand Dune is recognized as a place with unusual scenery, and is an ecologically valuable space. Finally, Manlipo Beach is adjacent to the Chunlipo Arboretum, which is often visited by tourists, and the beach itself is recognized as a place with an impressive appearance. Social media data is very useful because it can enable analysis of various types of contents that are not from an expert's point of view. In this study, we used social media data to analyze various aspects of how people perceive and enjoy landscapes by integrating various content, such as landscape objects, images, and activities. However, because social media data may be amplified or distorted by users' memories and perceptions, field surveys are needed to verify the results of this study.
