This paper deals with the research trend of world geography (excluding geography of Korea) in Korean geographers' academic society through the analysis of the articles published during the last 21 years in three Korean geographical journals(Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Journal of Korean Association of Regional Geographers, and Journal of Cultural and Historical Geography). The portion of articles concerned with world geography is relatively the lowest during the years 1990-1994, relatively the highest during the years 1995-1999, and rather decreasing during the years 2000-2010. The research areas of the articles concerned with world geography are mostly limited to USA, Japan, China, and Europe. It is not only expected that the more research on world geography should be done by Korean geographers but also that the research areas should be expanded in worldwide areas at this time when Korea is entering an international, global, and multi-cultural society.

다양한 출처의 지리정보를 공유 및 유통하기 위해서는 지리정보 전반에 걸친 표준화가 필요하다. 현재 국내외적으로 지리정보에 대한 상호운용성을 지원하기 위하여 지리정보 각 분야에 걸쳐 표준화 작업을 수행하고 있다. 특히 표준화된 용어의 사용은 다른 표준화 작업에 기반이 되므로, 공통적으로 사용되어지는 지리정보에 관련된 용어의 표준은 매우 중요하며 선결되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 국제표준화기구에서 제정중인 지리정보에 관련된 용어를 기반으로 국내 실정에 맞는 지리정보 용어 표준안을 제시한다.

For the Unification of Koreas in the future, we need to understand the geography education system of North Korea. This paper deals with the middle-school geography textbooks of North Korea, published in 2000 and as well as in 1990, in order to look for a better way of geography education after the Unification. One geography textbook is used for each grade, respectively, from the first to the fifth grade of the North Korea's middle-school (table 1). The North Korea's geography textbooks are immersed in the unreasonable idolization of the Kim's family and the excessive devotion to the socialist system. But they may suggest a significant implication in the improvement of geography terminology in South Korea because of their common use of genuine Korean words.

Since 1945, geography textbooks of South Korea and North Korea have been developed differently. Taking both geography textbooks of South Korea(printed in 1996 and 1997) and them of North Korea(printed in 1995), this study compares and analyse geography textbooks of South and North Korea systematically, then to show their likeness and difference. Results of this study are as follows: First, Most of contents in South Korean textbooks consist of explations and many tables, graphs and photographs leading to inquiry activities, whereas those in North Korean textbooks consist of mostly sentences that explain topics, diagrams and sketches. Second, Geographical education in South Korea puts strong emphasis on human geography and regional geography, whereas that in North Korea does strong emphasis on physical geography, economic geography and education of cartography. Third, The geographical words of South Korean textbooks contain words written in Chinese character and words of English origin, whereas Those of North Korean textbooks do many pure Korean words.

This study presents a comparative analysis of newly developed curriculum of Travel Geography as the career elective subject in high school for the 2015 revised curriculum in Korea and Tourism Geography in China. Travel Geography Curriculum comprises subject objectives, the contents organization, and achievement standards which reflect the core concept of geography. It utilizes travel as the topic and frame to raise the availability, interest and empathy in the geography classroom. The main research contents are comparative analysis on the similarities and differences of the subject character, goal, content, teaching-learning method and assessment of the national geography curriculum in Korea and China. Practical implications are presented for textbook compilation of the Travel Geography and its Practice classroom teaching-learning.

본 연구에서는 시공간 제약뿐만 아니라, 데이터의 다양성에 따른 제약조건까지도 최소화하여 온라인상에서 지리정보 활용성을 제고하기 위해 기존의 국가지리정보유통망을 지리정보통합포털로 발전시키기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 미국의 지리정보포털인 GOS(Geospatial One-Stop)를 모델로 하여 우리나라 국가지리정보유통망을 지리정보통합포털로 발전시키기 위한 모델을 수립하였다. 지리정보통합포털 모델은 개방형 분산프로세싱 시스템 구조에 대한 In 국제표준인 RM-ODP를 기반으로 하여 전사적 관점, 정보관점, 전산관점, 공학관점에서 수립하였다. 이를 통해 국가지리정보유통망을 기반으로 각종 지리정보 및 지리정보서비스에 대한 접근성을 제고함으로써 국가차원에서 GIS활용도를 높이는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The objective of this paper is to discuss geographic information policies and strategies of British government and suggest effective policies for Korea National GIS project GIS that has been implemented geographic information infrastructures into public sectors and private markets for the last ten years. To obtain the research aim, this paper reviews the main factors of the Britain GIS project such as distribution structure and process of GI markets, government policies and strategies that are led by Ordnance Survey, most leading mapping agency in the UK. In conclusion, some issues have been explored with reference to the experiences of the Britain GIS projects. The first of these is the nature of geographic information and the second concerns the notion of the circulation policies of spatial data, and the last proposes Korea GIS policies and strategies for successful geographic information and spatial data implementation. The findings of the analysis of the Britain GIS development indicate that a shift began to take place from central government coordinate toward more extensive utilization of private and commercial sectors. This reflects both the increasing importance of geospatial data circulation in all levels of GIS stakeholders. Finally these discussions are particularly to be the issues where multi-agency collaboration of Korea government is concerned and can take the form of joint ventures by consortiums of both involving data producers and data users in order to increase commercial participation for value-added geospatial items, and to encourage both research and development sectors with low or free price policies.

This paper begins with a critique that researches of geography education in Korea have not reflected the ideological debates in education and geography. The purpose of this paper is to figure implications for socially-critical geography education being studied in England as openly-ideological approach. First, ideological viewpoints of geography education was categorized through analysis of ideology in education and geography. Especially, a limit of conservative and liberal approach is indicated, socially-critical viewpoint is intrinsically justified as alternative logic. Socially-critical theorizing can change teacher's role as an agent of curriculum change and their conduct knowledge as well as geography curriculum. Second, (social) concern-oriented geography education to be more concerned to 'the social' can be realized through the third space approach and committed geography education as critical pedagogy. And, critical literacy is needed to teachers and students for practice of socially-critical geography education.

Recently, as the growth of the application of geographical information in various application fields, a geographic information system(GIS) has been building for using them efficiently. GIS has been managing them in use data format individually. To service geographical information based distribution efficiently, there must be a Data Conversion System that can deal with converting of GIS geographical information with incompatible formats. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a Spatial Data Translation System with international standard to convert geographic data efficiently.

본 연구는 지리교육의 내용 선정과 조직에 대한 기초 연구로써, 우리나라 제 7차 사회과 규과정에서 명시하고 있는 지리교육의 방향, 내용 및 조직을 분석하고 뉴욕주의 2000년 에 제시된 그것과 비교하였다. 우리나라와 미국의 지리교육의 내용과 조직에 대한 연구는 양국의 교육과정 개발 관점에 대한 분석과 더불어 현대 사회에서 교과로써 경쟁력을 갖춘 지리교육의 방향 및 지리적 지식의 성격에 대한 논의를 바탕으로 한다. 뉴욕주의 지리교육은 <기본으로의 복귀> 분위기 속에서 지리교육에서 학습해야 할 6가지 핵심 요소를 추출하고 그에 따라 내용을 체계화한 반면 우리 나라의 경우 한국과 세계의 지역지리, 계통 지리의 내용을 나열적으로 학습하도록 하였다. 그러나 백과사전식 내용 구성은 정보화 사회에서 지리교육의 역할을 스스로 축소시키고 지리교육에 대한 학생의 관심과 흥미를 감소시키는 결과를 초래한다. 미국 뉴욕주의 지리 내용과 조직은 우리나라 지리교육과정의 내용 구성 방향에 많은 시사점을 줄 수 있다. 지리교육의 생장력을 키우기 위한 지리 내용은 현대 사회 및 학습자의 요구와 지리학의 경향과 쟁점에 근거하여 그 핵심 요소가 선정되어야 하고, 지역적 방법과 계통적 방법을 적절하게 결함시켜 역동적이고 흥미있게 조직되어야 한다.되어야 한다.
