This study, which includes case studies that provide information of cave tour resources, considered a variety of selected variables of the internal and external parts of caves with the expanded factors of the academic classification in caves. It uses the cluster analysis, one of the multivariate analysis techniques, and applied the results for review. As a result, public caves can present multiple classification criteria according to the factors of the surrounding area's human environment. The result, classified by the region in public caves, is derived from this study.

Since the existing cave type classification has no variety but was limited to the structural, genetical and dimensional classification, we need the new cave type classification. When we analyze the theoretical background of cluster analysis, the cave type can be classified in consideration of diverse variables depending on the selection of variables to use and the usability of such classification is very high. With the practical consideration on the internal environment of cave and surrounding environment, three classifications are available; first, numerical classification by the dimension and form of cave; second, classification by the use of land out of the cave and geographic features; third, classification by the feature of location related to the surrounding areas of cave.

Internal and external resources of Cave were classified by type. For tourists, caves are important but surrounding environment of caves is more important.

Unlike conventional cave classification, this paper is attempted to classify caves in Korea in considerations for the surroundings. As a result, it‘s been confirmed that a cave can maximize the effect of information delivery as a part of great tourism resources. It‘s also been confirmed that the characteristics of caves can be differently interpreted depending on the size of surrounding humanistic environment as well as the size of the cave.

Classified by the characteristics of caves, without academic basis, was used by multiple variables of external characteristics of caves, such as accommodation, nearby attractions, number of restaurants & supporting cities. It used cluster analysis as an analysis technique. It is classified in 5 different typesby the results of the analysis, and the results say that the diverse classification of visitors' demand is possible.

Classified by the characteristics of caves, without academic basis, was used by multiple variables of internal characteristics of caves, such as; the length, the type of features, the genesis, and the square. It is used by cluster analysis as an analysis technique. It is classified in 5 different types from the results of the analysis, and the results say that the diverse classification of visitors' demand is possible.

동굴은 분류하는 학자나 기준에 따라 다양하게 구분할 수 있는데 예를들면 형태성, 성인ㆍ상, 규모별, 위치별, 지질영역별, 생물생태상등으로 구분할 수 있다. 먼저 성태상으로는 석회동굴, 화산굴, 침식굴, 절리굴, 인공동굴 등으로 대별되는 그 중 침식굴은 해식굴과 하식굴로 다시 세분한다. 즉, 석회동굴은 협의로는 종유굴이라고 하는데 이른바 이차생성물인 종유석이 형성되어 있는 동굴을 가리킨다.(중략)

동굴이 휴양명소로 자리잡아 감에 따라 동굴에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있는 때에 우리나라에 분포하고 있는 동굴의 구조적 특성을 밝히는 것은 중요한 일이다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라에 분포한 동굴을 유형별로 분류하고, 그 중 대표적인 석회동굴과 화산동굴의 구조적 특성을 밝히는 것이다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라에는 260개 이상의 동굴이 분포하고 있는데, 강원도와 충청북도 지방에 75％ 이상이 집중되어 있으며, 이것은 이들 지역이 우리나라의 지체구조사 옥천지향사에 해당하는 곳이어서 석회석이 발달한 때문이다. 둘째, 우리나라의 동굴은 성인상으로 분류하면 석회동굴 ·화산동굴 ·해식동굴 ·저리굴 등으로 나눌 수 있는데, 석회동굴이 가장 많고, 화산동굴은 제주도에 주로 분포한다. 셋째, 동굴지형면에서 석회동굴은 이차 생성물의 성장으로 인해 다양한 볼거리를 제공하는 반면에, 제주도의 화산동굴은 규모면에서 세계적이라는 것이 특징이고, 몇몇 동굴에서는 해안가 패사류의 퇴적으로 인해 석화동굴에서만 볼 수 있는 이차 생성물이 발달된 곳도 있다. 마지막으로 동굴생물적 측면에서는 동굴의 깊이가 클수록 진동굴성 동물이 비교적 많이 발견된다. 또한 본토의 석회동굴과 제주도의 화산동굴 내에 분포하는 동굴생물은 다소 그 종류에서 차이가 나타나고 있다. 특히 제주도의 화산동굴에는 그곳에만 독특하게 사는 동굴생물들이 발견되어 종의 이름에 ‘제주도...’ 라고 명명하는 것이 특징이다.

We have reported the petrographic properties on the soda straw primarily based on the field measurements and discussed the causes of their traits. 156 soda straws in district B of the Baeg-nyong Cave nominated with the natural monument No. 260 have been investigated to estimate physical, sedimentological and textural characteristics. The soda straws have an average length of 3.05 cm with a standard deviation of 1.7 cm and a mean diameter of 6.0 mm. This result shows that the average diameter of the soda straws measured in this study is thicker than previous reports by 20%. Although the drip rates of cave water from 85.3% of all the soda straws are exceedingly lower than 1 drop per 10 minutes, almost all soda straws have a dripping water. We firstly report growth lamina in the Korean soda straw from 85.3% of all samples, and this textural dominance indicates that the growth lamina are one of the common features of the soda straws at least in the study area. Secondary precipitations inside the soda straw were identified from 68.6%. Notably, the strong inverse correlation between growth lamina and secondary precipitates was represented from 70.5% of all samples. This finding might be explained by the seasonality of cave drip water supplied into the soda straws or the increased opacity caused by secondary precipitates. Based on petrograhic characteristics, the soda straws in the study area can be classified into normal and erratic types. Hopefully our results on the soda straws in Baeg-nyong Cave would provide a basis for the descriptions of soda straws from other caves and paleoclimatic applications.

This study was conducted to prepare basic data by analyzing the biological values and environmental factors of algific talus slope in order to respond to climate change due to the greenhouse effect, and to establish plans for forest biodiversity preserving and managing. Meteorological information was measured and the flora of vascular plants were investigated for six algific talus slope by seasonally from 2020 to 2021. As a result of the investigation, the temperature of all 6 algific talus slope was lower than that of the area where the algific talus slope was located in summer, and flora was 101 families, 350 genera, 621 species, 18 subspecies, 57 variants, 7 varieties, 703 taxa. In sum, it is judged that the algific talus slope has sufficient reasons and value to be preserved because it has excellent micrometeorological value from the cold wind blowing in summer and phytogeographical value in which various plants live in a small area. However, in spite of such an important area, the management of algific talus slope is insufficient, and the algific talus slope is damaged or the ecosystem of the algific talus slope is disturbed. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a systematic conservation and management plan by designating algific talus slope as a forest genetic resource reserve and OECM.
