  • Military Geography is a literature studying the application of geographical elements to military behaviour. The elements of military geography including topography greatly influences on building military art and theory. The military art applied on korean pennisula from the period of ancient three countries(Koguryeo, Shilla, Paekche) has been developed maintaining consistent stream reflecting topographic features. Despite the close relationship between building of military art and military geography's elements, the study for korean military geography has been depressed and the discourses of literature has been insufficient. But, in the western study of military geography, the study vitalization efforts studying military peace keeping and humanitarism activity are ongoing. Based on the current trend of western study and the analysis of existing korean study, this treatise proposes three plans to improve the study and education of korean military geography. The key contents of plans are comprised with the improvement of education curriculum, the construction of council between relevant organism, and the installation of subdivision in relevant geographical society. The possibility shaping up the identity of korean military geography as a common literature can be increased by enhancing the study toward peace and humanitarism and specifying the method for development as noted on this study.

  • This study explains a turning to being cultured and geography management to get closer to popularization and specialization of geography, for which based on the assumption that they are for development of knowledge. It adopts the idea of human's geographical nature to solve the dualism which geography is referred as science and art. An object geographer studies is homogeneous, temporal as well as identifical and individual. To adopt human's geographical nature causes to human's geographical investigation, and uniting positivism to humanism. It deduces from the Bible and Evolutionism that it is characteristic of mobility, adaptabilty, connectivity, ideality, and hybridity. Geographical concepts is based on the fact that it can be applied to geographical research theme. Popularization of geography has to relate to being cultural, and specialization of geography has to relate to geography management.

  • This study aims not only to examine the globalization, imformationization, and networking as background of knowledge-information-based society, but also to clarify the research fields of 'geography of knowledge' and further research themes for economic geography in a knowledge-information-based society. As a result of globalization, the degree of regional disparity, which had decreased with neoliberal policy in Europe and America in 1980's, has increased in early development states such as China and Eastern European countries. In opposition to the globalization that has led to increasing regional disparities at a global scale, many scholars argue that grassroots globalization or globalization from below is needed. Based on a pessimistic view on globalization, many maintain that unequal access to information has enlarged the gap between rich and poor. They also argue that the study of the geography of poverty is crucial in oder to solve the problem of bipolization. According to the world system theory, spatial grasp of commodity chains, actors' diversities, flows towards innovation in learning knowledges, and geographical, organizational, and institutional proximities are intertwined. Because these elements make significant influences each other in social networks, the interrelationships among those elements should be carefully considered. A 'geography of knowledge' deals with manufacturing, finance and service, media, cultural, and creative industries. Former researches in economic geography have tended to deal with those industries separately without attempting to make meaningful linkages among discussions on those industries.

  • Health geography has gained importance due to healthy smart cities, regions, and the integration of geo-internet and blockchain technologies. This study explores the intersection of geography and health, focusing on specific health challenges faced by individuals and groups. Using observational and descriptive methods, the study takes a regional approach to illuminate the socio-economic factors that are critical to addressing global health challenges. Drawing on academic literature and practical research, a concise case study of health challenges in Uzbekistan is presented, offering valuable insights. The analysis of data from informative articles and UN publications highlights the interdisciplinary nature of health geography and its practical applicability for researchers and policymakers. The findings underscore the important role of geography and health sciences in addressing region-specific diseases while highlighting the importance of spatial analysis in understanding environmental hazards and health impacts, including disease outbreaks.

  • 본 논문은 영국과 미국을 중심으로 실업 연구 동향을 고찰함으로써 우리 날 실업연구를 수행하는데 있어서의 과제와 이론적 기초를 모색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실업의 지리적 패턴에 대한 관심은 계량혁명 시기에 시작되었으며, 이후 실업에 대한 지리학적 연구에는 많은 변화가 있었다. 실업에 대한 공식 정의들을 실업에 대한 제한적 묘사만을 제공하기 때문에 대안적인 지표-보다 광범위하고 포괄적인-가 요구되고 있다. 공식정의에 근거한 지역실업 연구는 현실의 문제를 축소하게 되는 경향이 있는데 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 노동시장 계정 접근이 대안적인 연구틀로서 제시된다.

  • The concern on new regional geography in Korea has emerged in the 1990s under the influence of paradigm shift of Western geography, that is, the withering of positivist geography and the introduction of grand social theories into geography. New regional geography in Korea also seems to have developed in the rapidly changing process of glocalization of capitalism which has accompanied with the transformation toward post-Fordism with high-tech innovation, development of transportation and communication technology with time-space compression, and increasing social and cultural mobility with change of identity. But it can be pointed out that discussion on methodology for regional geography in Korea has been shrunken since the mid 2000s, and there has been relatively little empirical research with synthetic approach to region. But more concern on methodology in terms of place, territory, network, scale, etc. rather than the concept of region itself has increased, and empirical researches on regions in specific fields of human geography have been promoted. It is argued that the traditional distinction between synthetic and analytic approaches seems no longer significant. But geographers need to extend the concept of region in relation to other diverse spatial concepts, and to purse simultaneously structural analysis on glocalization process and practical strategies responding positively to the process.

  • UN은 1990년대를 전세계적인 자연재해 감소를 위한 10년(IDNDR)으로 지정하고 이러한 취지로 제네바에 사무국을 개설했다. 그에 대한 반응으로 국제 과학 연합회는 IGU를 통해 여러 지역에서의 지리적 연구를 지원하고 있다. IGU는 1992년에 개최된 제 27차 IGC에서 자연재해연구 분과를 개설하여 지리학에 있어서 새로운 기술을 개발하는데 강조를 두는 다양한 자연재해 프로젝트에 지리학자들을 포함시키려는 노력을 시작했다. 지리학자들은 IDNDR에 중요한 공헌을 하고 있는데, 특히 재해 관리를 위한 GIS의 영역과 지도화와 재해 평가를 위한 원격탐사, 재해 반응에 대한 GPS의 이용 등이 이에 포함된다. 지리학자들은 지도화와 재해를 경감시키려는 노력에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 이미 재해를 입은 지역에 대해 복구 계획을 세우고 있다. CONAHA는 2000년에 서울에서 개최되는 제 29차 IGU에서 UN에 의해 시작된 안건을 지지하게 됨으로 그 역할을 마무리하게 될 것이다. 영구적인 공헌 중에는 1998년에 산악 재해에 관한 발간을 시작으로 자연재해에 관한 책 시리즈와 UNESCO에 의해 발간된 Life Systems 백과사전 내용 중 자연재해에 대한 부분이 포함된다는 것이다

  • There has been a tendency for Geomorphology and Climatology to be dominant in Physical Geography for 50 years in Korea. Physical Geography is concerned with the study of the totality of natural environment through the integrated approaches. But, an overall direction or a certain paradigm could not be found, because major sub-divisions of Physical Geography have been studied individually and the subjects and the approaches in studying Physical Geography are enormously diverse. A consensus of opinion could not also exist in deciding what kind of the sub-divisions should be included in the physical geography in general and how those should be summarized. Furthermore it would be considered imprudent to survey the studies of Physical Geography besides those of Geomorphology and Climatology due to the small number of researchers. Assuming that the rest of Physical Geographical studies with the exception of Geomorphological and Climatological studies are the Physical Geography in general, the studies of Physical Geogrpahy in general are summarized and several aspects are drown out as follows. First the descliption of all possible factors of natural environments was the pattern of early studies of Physical Geography and the tendency is maintained in the various kinds of research and project reports. Recently Physical Geographers have published several introductory textbooks or research monographs. In those books, however, the integrated approaches to Physical Geography were not suggested and the relationship between man and nature are dealt with in the elementary level. Second, the authentic soil studies of Physical Geographers are insignificant, because the studies of soil in Physical Geography have been mostly considered as the subsidiary means of Geomorphology Summarizing the studies of Soil Gegraphy by physical geographers and other Pedologists, the subjects are classified as soil-forming processes, soil erosions, soil in the tidal flat and reclaimed land, and soil pollution. Physical Geographers have focused upon the soil-forming processes in order to elucidate the geomorphic processes and the past climatic environment. The results of other subjects are trifling. Thirdy Byogeygrayhers and the results of studies are extremely of small number and the studies of Biogeography in Korea lines in the starting point. But, Biogeography could be a more unifying theme for the Physical-human Geography interface, and it would be expected to play an active part in the field of environmental conservation and resource management. Forth, the studies of Hydrogeography (Geographical Hydrology) in Korea have run through the studies of water balance and the morphometric studies such as the drainage network analysis and the relations of various kinds of morphometric elements in river. Recently, the hydrological model have introduced and developed to predict the flow of sediment, discharge, and ground water. The growth of groundwater studies is worthy of close attention. Finally, the studies on environmental problems was no mole than the general description about environmental destruction, resource development, environmental conservation, etc. until 1970s. The ecological perspectives on the relationship between man and nature were suggested in some studies of natural hazard. The new environmentalism having been introduced since 1980s. Human geographers have lead the studies of Environmental Perception. Environmental Ethics, Environmental Sociology, environmental policy. The Physical geographers have stay out of phase with the climate of the time and concentrate upon the publication of introductory textbooks. Recently, several studies on the human interference and modification of natural environments have been made an attempt in the fields of Geomorphology and climatology. Summarizing the studies of Physical Geography for 50 years in Korea, the integrated approaches inherent in Physical Geography disappeared little by little and the majol sub-divisions of Physical Ceography have develop in connection with the nearby earth sciences such as Geology, Meteorology, Pedology, Biology, Hydrology, etc been rediscovered by non-geographers under the guise of environmental science. It is expected that Physical Geography would revive as the dominant subject to cope with environmental problems, rearming with the innate integrated approaches.

  • In celebrating a half century history of the Korean Geographical Society, this paper is concerned about research trends of the urban geography in Korea by reviewing of 449 papers and 15 books mainly in an urban geography field. The findings are summarized as follows: (1) The development of the urban geography in Korea has several stages; \circled1 The launching stage just after 1945; \circled2 the premature stage in the 1960s; \circled3 the taking-off stage in the 1970s; \circled4 the maturing stage in the 1980s; and \circled5 culminating stage in the as of 1990s. (2) The earlier studies had a few limited research themes without major debating issues. In the 1970s, various research themes had been introduced in the urban geography. More diverse themes have been studied in urban geography after the 1980s. The major themes in the urban geography included urbanization, urban structure, urban system, urban economic structure and so on. (3) The most frequent research area for the Korean urban geographers has been the Seoul metropolitan area followed by Kyongsang-Province region. Outside Korea, the most frequent research areas are the American cities followed by the cities of Japan, Canada, and France. (4) The urban geography in Korea has played a major role in introducing the quantitative methods and techniques into geography. For example over 30.5% out of papers in urban geography has taken the quantitative techniques in the past 35 years during the 1960-1994 period. The papers inside urban geography have counted more than 60 percent from research papers in major university journals and took 34.6 percent from the papers of the Journal of Korean Geographical Society.

  • Since the mid-1980s there has been an intensive debate on a regional geography in abroad, and its renaissance has been widely expressed. Under the influences of these academic circumstances, many Korean scholars have tried to introduce this trend and at the same time to propose new development lines of the Korean geography with a critical perspective. However, the empirical study of Korean regional geography including area studies is characterized by a quantitative deficit on the one hand and by its peripheral position on the other. The main reasons of this marginalization of Korean regional geography that we can find include a undifferentiated import of new systematic/nomothetic geography in the 1960s and 1970s, a historical interruption with a tradition of old Korean geography, and the practical difficulties of regional geographical approach itself. Now we face with the fundamental changes including globalization/regionalization and an increasing actual demand for the information on different scales of space and place. In order to cope with these challenges, we inevitably need to revitalize various forms and modem characteristics of regional geographical approaches and try to reexamine the basic concepts, methods, and frameworks of regional geography.
