Human responses, such as construction of levees, are a spatial representation of the place vulnerability which is induced by a geomorphic hazard like flooding. Human responses include all forms of human activities to reduce the place vulnerability and they seem to be related with reducing vulnerability rather than reducing geomorphic hazards. Diverse human responses to the perceived environment bring about changes in the place vulnerability. People respond spatially to their vulnerability of the place in diverse ways from their experience and perceived risk. Human responses have quantitative possibilities in predicting and modeling the place vulnerability. Building the model of a dynamic place vulnerability to the diverse geomorphic hazards requires basic maps of geomorphic processes and human responses in the region.

The traditional market has formed for itself through a long time thus has special value of the place. The tangible value of the traditional market is high, however, it became jeopardized to be dismantled since it can not cope with the consumption environment of modern society. Modern industrial society provides an inefficiently and standardized solution to the traditional market by ignoring the identity of place only by the value the traditional market in the law of large distribution industry. This study aims to define the placeness of Namdaemun traditional market by considering tangible value of place. The identity of the place was analyzed as a spatial configuration, space organization, and sense of place through the place's physical setting, activities, and meanings by Edward Ralph. Based on the analysis by Ralph, we analyzed the traditional market and compare to the department store, which is the representative of large scale distributor, using comparative method. We performed quantitative and integrative analysis for the placeness and provide a way to appraise the worth of the traditional market by deviating from the traditional evaluation method.

This study aims at the exploration of usefulness of traditional knowledge reflected in the place names. This study is useful and pragmatic for the establishment of disaster prevention measures from the analyses of disaster database, which shows the regional distribution and historical changes of disaster characteristics through history. The construction and categorization of disaster-related place names are based on historical maps and literatures on place names. One hundred twenty eight disaster-related place terminologies are selected based on disaster causes and possibilities. Design of field structures and category codes for the disaster-related place names has been proposed and the construction of disaster-related place names from the six sources has been completed.

This article focuses on reviewing place branding theories as a major toolkit of 'soft regional development'. Place branding provides sophisticate methodologies to strengthen city and regional image and identity. For effective place marketing practices, four of useful place branding tools are suggested. They include the methodology of place identity development, brand leadership system in local governance, construction of city brand architecture, and evaluation model for city brand equity. A process model is suggested for systematically organizing the diverse tools of place marketing and branding. The model is expected to be used as a framework of strategical soft regional development and planning. The place branding process model is to be an important theoretical and methodological basement of postmodern urban and regional development on which creativity, symbol and signs are more emphasized. More in-depth theoretical and empirical studies are needed. Geographical tradition and knowledge can play important roles in this inter-disciplinary process.

Patterns and regional distribution of disaster-related place names have been analyzed to confirm the recognition and probability of disaster and to explore the possibility of disaster prevention measures. 106 terms and 37,901 place names related to disaster and prevention measures have been collected from the Korean gazetteers "Hanguk Jimyeong Chongnam". Based on this, some conclusions have been drawn: firstly, place names related to the geomorphic processes and prevention measures are more common than any other disasters; secondly, place names related to heavy rain, flooding and drowning are most common. Analysis of the regional distribution pattern shows that disaster-related place names are most common in Jeolla and Gyeongsang Provinces and general place names reflecting environmental concern such as water, sand, plain, rain and dam are distributed evenly throughout the whole country; howe, r, place names such as dumbeong, gureong, yeoul, tan(灘), bangjuk, je(堤), and ji(池) are restricted to the specific region, which shows that place names reflects the locational and toprn sucic ainuations. Case st, anindicates that prevention measures should be focused on tributaries and srill villeys conaid ring that disasters originated from the combination of weather and landform conditions are most common throughout the whole country.

There are a lot of causes of under-achievement in elementary mathematics, one of which may be lack of previous learning elements. We focus on the understanding of place value. The purpose of this study is to analyze underachievers' levels of understanding of place value concepts and to find the types of place value tasks that they have had special difficulty. For this purpose, an individual test called as "the Six Tasks of Place Value(SToPV)"was applied to ten third grade mathematics underachievers in elementary school. The test is a type of place value concept tests and requires one-on-one interview with some preparation materials. The participants' reactions were analysed according to the framework by Berman(2011). The result of analysis shows that third grade mathematics underachievers tend to have a great difficulty understanding the place value concepts. Also the types of difficult tasks were various from individual to individual. Based on the test results and discussion, we suggested some implications for diagnosing place value concepts of mathematics underachievers.

This study was initiated by the fact that modern architecture caused the loss of placeness by seeing place with wrong interpretation and method and provided people with a phenonenon of separation between the depth of experience and honesty. As a solution for such problems, this study intended to suggest a direction through an analysis on the works of Geoffrey Bawa who was recognized as 'a genius of place' and the investigation on the place characteristics of his representative work 'Lunuganga'. Its process was as follows; First, this study explored the characteristics of the place, Sri Lanka, which was the background of his architectures, to see its impact on his life and architecture. Second, based on his representative works of each period and the contents that he mentioned in literature, the general characteristics appearing in his architectures were identified. Third, through an analysis on the work, Lunuganga, the place characteristics appearing in his architectures were investigated. Through such process, it could be recognized that Geoffrey Bawa's architectures reveal the place characteristics as nature, place characteristic as journey and stay, and place characteristic as sense. In this study, it could be verified that place was integrated and applied to Geoffrey Bawa's architectures through the above characteristics and the spaceness was manifested. Through this, this study intended to suggest an orientation for the above problems.

Place marketing strategy is an research or policy field of cultural politics on which various meanings, discourses and practices are deployed, contested and negotiated surrounding the development or destruction of urban cultures. So it is needed to correct and concrete understanding about the cultural significations of place marketing strategy. In that sense, this study aims to establish the concept and methodology of place marketing strategy as urban culture development strategy. At first, the theory of cultural politics of space and cultural political approach to the place marketing strategy are reviewed. And then, basic concept of place marketing strategy and the process of place marketing strategy are established. Finally, with drawing the cultual political factors(named SAUNE factors), the methodology of place marketing strategy is systematized.

Place names represent a lot of information about the region and the life of the local residents. In particular, old geographical names have more spatial informations than recent place names. This paper tried to analyze the distribution and characteristic of 'Dumo' which is one of the ancient place names and was studied by Nam youngwoo in 1996 for the first time. After considering the etymology and phonological structure of 'Dumo', the name 'Dumo' included the geographic conditions related to a mountain and river in itself. The total number of place names in the line of 'Dumo' which were collected by the author were 417 and they were distributed evenly on the Korean Peninsula. 85% of them were used for the human place names and 73% of the human place names were served as settlement names standing for a village or an administrative district. Thus the author analyzed the location and diffusion of 220 of settlement names in depth. As a result, villages named in the line of 'Dumo' preferred southern or eastern exposure and located in front of a mountain and around a river. After a village name 'Dumo' was set up, it produces other similar names in the line of 'Dumo' near the village so most place names of 'Dumo' were found with several names of 'Dumo' not alone.
