This Paper aims to explore the socio-spatial implication of urban policy dialectic. The urban policies to solve various social problems are definitely related to the spatial situation of his society. In France there have been several kinds of urban policies to meet 'social exclusion' as new concept of poverty. To fix 'ZUS(Zones Urbaines Sensibles), being based on the 'Pacte do relance pour la ville' of 1996, is one of them. It makes a conclusion in this paper that the purposeful zoning by urban policy to meet social exclusion can lead to deepen them. The situation of social exclusion in ZUS is related to the spatial exclusion by zoning marginal areas. To define the key concepts of 'social exclusion' and 'ZUS' is absolutely needed to accomplish the purpose of this study.

The waterfall can be formed by difference between the height of up and down part in new channel, is formed by channel avulsion that rapidly changing of river channel course. This study described types and processes of waterfalls by channel avulsion, and analyzed rates and factors of waterfall recession, on object to 7 waterfalls in South Korea. Bulyeong falls at Uljin-gun, Yongchu falls at Yeongdeok-gun, Jikyeon falls at Yanggu-gun and Gwangpum falls at Uljin-gun are formed by natural incised meander cutoff. Samhyeongje falls at Taebaek-si and Guryong falls are formed by river capture processes, and Palbong falls at Chungju-si is formed by artificial channel cutting for farm land secured. The locations of waterfalls gradually moved to upstream over time by head erosion. The recession rates were measured by 3~4m/ka on Bulyeong falls, Yongchu falls, Jikyeon falls and Samhyeongje falls, to estimate of formation age. Recession rates of these 4 waterfalls were analyzed that have clearly positive correlations with drainage area, precipitation, corrosion and weathering capability of bedrock, and initial height of waterfall.

Mt. Apsan is well known to be one of the most popular tourist sites around Daegu. Annually, more than 16 million persons visit Mt. Apsan. Although, in the mountain there are varieties of geomorphic and geological resources, there has been less concern to utilize the resources for geo-tourism. For example, there are about 10 valleys within Mt. Apsan and various landforms are scattered around the valleys. In this context, this study, based on field surveys centering around Gosangol valley, Anjiranggol valley and Dalbigol valley, focuses on exploring ways towards developing Mt. Apsan as an example geo-tourist site. The main findings are as follows: 1) The main landforms of Mt. Apsan include river cliff, cavern, free face, mud crack, ripple mark, fold, sheeting joint, talus, alluvial fan, pot hole, fault line, gnamma, columnar joint and metamorphic rock. 2) The guide notes on the landforms are developed. 3) In order to raise a learning effect of visitors on geomorphic resources, 9 nature trails are designed according to valleys and the length of visitor's stay.

This study is to critically examine a variety of perspectives of seeing the interactions among space, people, and society. According to Tuan, place is a center of meaning constructed by people's experience, and its attributes consist of natural and built-up environments. Entrikin suggests a way of seeing place from a contrary perspective, that is, the subjective and existential sense of place and the objective and naturalistic conception of place. Lefebvre examines the historical transformation of social space through the dialectics among the perceived space, the conceived space, and the lived space. Social space is (re)produced and changed through the conflictual unit of the spatial triad. The project of Foucault's spatial metaphor is to tightly combine three critical concepts, power, knowledge, and space. Those concepts are not objectively existed regardless of specific times and spaces, but they are socially and culturally constructed through the networks of people under particular environments. In the following papers, it is needed to comparatively examine the various perspectives mentioned above to make a new conceptual framework of understanding the interactions among space, people, and society.

The economic reform in China since 1978 has been increasingly sped up and deepened. The recent development of private enterprises, especially, has significant economic and political implications, whereas its regional differentiation has considerable impacts on both the development potential of certain regions and overall regional growth pattern. This study aims to understand the regional pattern of private enterprise growth as well as the institutional change which has structured the growth process. The development of private enterprises turned out to be closely tied to the marketization strategy of dual-track system and policy needs to reduce the unemployment level in both urban and 겨ral China. The regional pattern of the private enterprise growth can be characterized as ever-increasing spatial differentiation. Based on the basic statistical analysis results, it is argued that the private enterprise growth is closed related with the marketization level of the regional economy. Therefore, the strategy of developing private sector will be more important in shaping the regional development path as well as potential.

This study aims to calculate reasonable carving capacity of the Gwangneung area and to review its tourism policies from the perspective of the tourist's demands. According to the analysis results, The socio-psychological carrying capacity by targeted intervals of time is generally underestimated and less than desired. Parking lots followed by stores and then roads are the biggest issues weighing down the area's carving capacity Also, another finding shows that the physical carrying capacity, analyzed based on area use, is estimated for 600 tourists and 130 cars. This study recommends following that Gwangneung establish various tour programs linking its cultural and historical sites to forest and ecological resources. Further to this, Gwangneung might be better off exerting efforts to developing environmental education programs and training more cultural and ecological guides. The findings necessitate that should be made off limits to cars, and instead servicing the area with shuttle buses. Management offices can also be classrooms used for cultural, historical and ecological education and exhibitions. Other findings suggest an expansion of convenience facilities such as more potable water stations, benches, resting areas and a continued monitoring of tourism activities in the area.

The types of gnamma at the summit area of Mt. Geum, Sangju-ri, Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do are classified and geomorphic developments are investigated. The rocks facing the coast show high distributional density of gnamma due to the salt supply from the coast. The water content rate of gnamma distributed in flat rocks at the summit is highest in the bottom area and lowest in the outside area. Moreover, the quartz grains are fallen due to the weathering of feldspar in the crystalline rocks such as granites and the gnamma are merged and expanded as they develop. The average weathering rate of gnamma is 0.04mm/y and it slowed with time. The results on rate indicate that the gnamma are formed and developed at the present rather than the fossil landform or by subsurface weathering.

The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristic of recreation forest that has been rapidly developed and increased since late 1980's. Also, the process and spatial distribution of recreation forest is analyzed. For the analyses of the characteristic of recreation forest, the concept of recreation forest that has been researched and published is explored and examined. To explain the process and spatial distribution, recreation forest used by people at present is studied in terms of time and space. It is concluded that the characteristic of recreation forest serve as nature oriented forest as well as functions as recreational space and educational place on nature. The recreation forest also produces wood far economic purpose and gives owners economic benefit. Also the study leads us to the conclusion that the process of recreation forest is related to changes in leisure activity caused by shorter working hours and tourist behavior. Finally, from this study, we can conclude that natural and social conditions have an effect on spatial distribution as an important variable.

This paper attempts to compare and analyze the intensity, trend, and regional gap of income inequality, capitalizing upon the Age-Period-Cohort model which considers age, time and cohort effects, with the 1998-2018 Korea Labor Panel (KLIPS) survey data for respondents living in the Capital and Non-Capital Regions. The main analysis results are as follows. First, in the case of both cohort and age effects, those in their 50~60s, including the so-called baby boomers and '386 generation' living in the Capital Region, have relatively lower income inequality effect compared to that of other age groups and cohorts in the Non-Capital Region. Second, the micro-individual characteristics cannot be ignored to account for a regional gap in income inequality, but rather the effects of structural and institutional omitted variables and the social discrimination effects of individual characteristics variables are more significant in explaining it. Overall, intra-and inter-cohort income inequalities appear to overlap.

One of the fundamental, important preconditions for effective teaching of geography is to collect a variety of picture data available for class and to manage the data systematically. The purpose of this study is to present one method about how to supply basic picture data available for class of Korean geography for the high school program to teachers in service and how to collect, manage and utilize the data. A total of 233 picture data related to contents of the textbook of Korean Geography have been gathered through this study, and a database has been constructed for the data. Directories were generated for individual units of the textbook, and the collected picture data was stored in the image file of each directory. This data was recorded in a CD and attached as an appendix. Since the primary purpose of this study is to suggest one method, the picture data in a database for the present study is just a fraction of lots of data available for class of Korean geography. If the user persistently enlarges and manages data based on the results of this study, the data will become a good instructional aid. The picture data can be printed over the transparent film and used for class by using the overhead protector (OHP), or it can be also used as a remote self-study tool through the computer telecommunications network (e.g., LAN or INTERNET. etc,). Most desirable, however, is to develop teachers' own method by taking account of separate units of the textbook or diverse educational environments.
