In this paper Gumho drainage basin is divided into six geomorphic units (Bohyeon, Palgong, Biseul mountainous areas and Yeongcheon, Gyeongsan, Daegu basin), and physical geographical background and distributional characteristics of geotourism resources in each geomorphic unit are examined. Most(32 sites, 78%) of geotourism resources in Gumho basin reflect geomorphological environment, rest(7 sites, 17%) of them reflect geological environment. There are three geomorphological resources in Bohyeon mountainous areas, eight geomorphological resources in Palgong mountainous areas, and five geomorphological resources and one cultural resource in Biseul mountainous areas. There are two geomorphological resources, one geological resource, one biological resource, and two cultural resources in Yeongcheon basin. Among them one biological resource and and one cultural resource reflect local geomorphological environment. In Gyeongsan basin are there one geomorphological resource, three geological resources, and one biological resource, but one biological resource reflects local geomorphological environment. There are eight geomorphological resources, two geological resources, and three biological resources in Daegu basin. But two biological resources among them reflect local geomorphological environment.

In order to investigate the velocity structure of the southern part of the Korean peninsula, exploded seismic signals were recorded for 120 s along a 294-km WNW-ESE line and 150 s along a 335-km NNW-SSE line in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Velocity tomograms were derived from inverting P-wave and S-wave first arrival times. The raypaths indicate several midcrust interfaces. The shallowest one is at the approximate depth of $2{\sim}3\;km$ with refraction velocities of approximately Vp=6.0 and Vs=3.5 km/s, respectively. The second one of $15{\sim}17\;km$ depth has refraction velocities of approximately Vp=7.1 and Vs=3.7 km/s, respectively. The deepest significant interface varies in depth from 30.8 km to 36.1 km. The critically refracting Vp of $7.8{\sim}8.1\;km/s$ and Vs of $4.2{\sim}4.6\;km/s$ along this interface which may correspond to the Moho discontinuity. The velocity tomograms show (1) existence of a low-velocity zone centered at $6{\sim}7\;km$ depth under the Okchon fold belt and the Yeongnam massif, (2) extension of the Yeongdon fault down to greater than 10 km, and (3) existence of high-velocity materials under the Gyeongsan basin less than 4.2 km thick.

In order to investigate the velocity structure of the southern part of the Korean peninsula, exploded seismic signals were recorded for 120 s along a 294-km WNW-ESE line and 150 s along a 335-km NNW-SSE line in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Velocity tomograms were derived from inverting first arrival times. One-dimensional velocity models derived by joint analyses of teleseismic receiver functions and surface wave dispersion at several stations near the profiles were uesd to build initial models. The raypaths indicate several midcrust interfaces including ones at approximate depths of 2.0 and 14.9 km with refraction velocities of approximately 6.0 and 7.1 km/s, respectively. The deepest significant interface varies in depth from 30.8 km to 36.1 km. The critically refracting velocity varies from 7.8 to 8.1 km/s along this interface which may correspond to the Moho discontinuity. The velocity tomograms show (1) existence of a low-velocity zone centered at 6-7 km depth under the Okchon fold belt, (2) extension of the Yeongdon fault down to greater than 10 km, and (3) existence of high-velocity materials under the Gyeongsan basin whose thickness is less than 4.2 km.
