The concept of community capacity is regarded as the ability of people and communities to do works associated with the determinant factors and indicators of the circumstances of socio-economic, environmental and physical contexts. Building capacity of communities to effectively analyze our problematic issues and planning of community development is often required to scrutinize current status of community of socio-economic and infrastructural capacity development with GIS. We consider community development as a planned effort to build assets that increase the capacity of communities. Spatial asset mapping is the process enabling to identify and make inventories of tangible and intangible assets. This mapping requires developing a capacity inventory that collects individual organizational and community capacities in view of human, socio-cultural, natural, financial, digital, and physical capacity. The purpose of this research is not only designed to suggest a new concept capacity building, but also proposes a more creative framework of asset-based community cap linking to parcel-based spatial asset mapping and capacity mapping process.

The aim of this study is to examine the changes of institution, quantity and approach methods of research results in the history of Korean economic geography during the last fifty-five years (1956-2010) and to offer the preparations for the future research. The history Korean economic geography can be divided into four periods: 'period of cradle' (1956-1962), 'period of establishment' (1963-later 1970s)', 'period of leap (the former half of 1980s-the former half of 1990s)', and 'period of transition (since later 1990s)'. Many departments of geography education and geography have been founded in the 'period of establishment' and 'period of leap'. Among the total research matters (1,621), 44.4 percent of research results have been made in 2000s and the most researched field was that of manufacturing geography, which occupied 27.7 percent. In the approach methods, about two-thirds of the results are the empirical inductive approach and the research frameworks method which clarified the regional structures and theory of spatial system occupied each about 40 percent. In the future, each research field of Korean economic geography is expected to take more serious view of nature environment, thorough regional survey, and preference of economy-society-culture-knowledge in the research framework of spatial network theory.

The aim of this study is to identify economic geographical determinants that affect the sustainability of the social economy. The sustainability of the social economy means the sustainability of the pursuit of social value as well as the sustainability of business operation. This study is aiming to economic geographical determinants as factors affecting sustainability of the social economy and extracted measurement index through examination on the theory and case study. As a result, 10 items in two areas(the sustainability of the pursuit of social value, the sustainability of business operation) had been deducted as the measurement index of which sustainability of the social economy. In addition, 20 items in four areas(local networks, intermediary organizations, local community culture and public roles) had been deducted as economic geographical determinants. Multiple regression analysis through 193 firm surveys suggests that 'local networks', 'intermediary organizations', and 'public roles' have an positive impact on sustainability. This result implies a need for policies to create an economic geography ecosystem of social economy.

This study aims to examine the structure and meaning of the perception of rural amenity which rural and urban residents have. Many Lickert scaled questions measure how much important the respondents think about the various items related to rural amenity respectively. It reveals that there is not meaningful difference in the relative importance among three upper dimensions composing the construct of rural amenity, historic-cultural dimension, natural environmental dimension and living condition dimension. This means that our respondents are not willing to pursue historic-cultural aspects and natural environmental aspects at the risk of living condition being able to enjoy comfortable and affluent opportunities. And also, this results reveals that people might have a quite different perception compared with academic discourse putting much weight on historic-cultural dimension and natural environmental dimension.

21세기는 생명, 환경, 정보를 주제로 새 시대를 맞이하고 있다. 20세기 절대빈곤에서 벗어나기 위한 성장제일주의의 경제개발정책은 짧은 시간에 성공적으로 달성되어 높은 문화수준과 산업사회를 이룰 수 있었다. 한편, 국민생활향상과 산업발전에 결정적 역할을 해왔던 수자원개발은 동강에서, 시화호에서, 지리산, 인천 앞바다에서 개발 부작용으로 생태와 환경이 심한 몸살을 앓기 시작하고 있다. WTO에 의한 시장개방으로 생산구조가 붕괴되고 농촌지역이 공동화될 것을 걱정하고 있다. 누군가는 농촌에서 농사를 짓고 살아야만 국가의 산업구조가 유지되고 아름다운 국토의 자연환경을 보전할 수 있다. 농촌은 식량생산을 위한 공간과 인간생활을 위한 공간 등 두 가지 기능을 가진 공간이다. 쾌적한 농촌을 이룩하려면 농업생산성을 향상시켜 농업소득을 높이고, 농공단지의 활성화와 농촌관광과 휴양시설에 의한 농외소득을 강화해야 한다. 또한, 농업은 식량의 안정적 공급은 물론 홍수 및 토양침식 억제, 수자원함양, 수질정화, 대기정화, 생물 다양성 등 환경보전적 기능이 WTO에 대응하여 쌀시장을 지킬 수 있는 논리로 새롭게 평가받고 있다. George Brokeway (경제인의 종말, 1991)의 “ 이윤극대화라는 경제원칙이 인간의 자연파괴와 기상이변 앞에 모순을 드러내고 있어 경제학의 인간화를 요구하고 있다.”는 지적에 비교우위론자들은 다시 한번 귀기울여주기 바란다.

This study aims to summarize recent discussions on naming the sea between Korea and Japan and to draw some research topics of the geographical toponymy. The International Hydrographic Conference and the United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names held in 2012 repeatedly saw clearly different positions of Korea and Japan on the naming of the sea. From the debates, four topics appeared distinctly which deserve receiving continuous interests in the field of geographical toponymy. These include: necessity of dual naming and characteristics of, and perceptions on the object of dual naming; political economic nature of the sea, e.g. semi-enclosed sea, EEZ, and relevant use of names; relationship between the sea containing strong emotional ties and its naming; additional definition of toponymic terminologies to proceed with more objective and logical discussions.

Map of geographical names can give us information for understanding of region because geographical name reflects regional perception of human. This study aimed to make an web-based map by constructing database of geographical names. Main contents carried out research on methods for classification of geographical names, database construction, and mapping on the website. Geographical name classified into four categories of the physical geography, culture and historical geography, economic geography, and the other and also, 18 sub-categories by classification criteria. Geographical name designed to input by collecting geographical names from paper-based maps and vernacular place names only known to the local region. Fields of database consisted of address, coordinates, geographical name(hangeul, hanja), classification, explanation, photographs. Map of geographical names can be represented with regional geographical information. The result of research is expected to offer information for distribution of geographical names as well as regional interpretation.
