Social and population geography in Korea has been developed somewhat later than other special subjects of geography. But in recent years, it has attracted much interests of geographers, and accumulated a considerably large amount of research products. Seen in this context, it is resonable to expect that social and population geography will not only lead the development of geography in the future, but also contribute to the resolution of socio-spatial problems in Korea. From this point of view, we shall retrospect in this paper the progress of social and population geography in Korea since the 1950s, and look out its future prospect and further research tasks. In the first place, we discuss general concepts and major themes of social and population geography, and overview its development process, and than review in more details some important research products which would be categorized into five main subjects, that is, research methodology, urbanization and urban population phenomena, population movement and changing rural life, residential differentiation and urban redevelopment, and urban social life and regional social well-being. Finally, we consider briefly the future prospect and further tasks of social and population geography in Korea.

The discipline of Geography is broadly concerned with the interconnections between people and the environment. Particularly, this unique human-environment relationship often can be typically reflected from, and well illustrated by, the dynamics of microstates' island environment. While Tuvaluans living on vulnerable, low-lying atolls in the Pacific are not primarily responsible for contributing to climate change, yet they are experiencing its dreadful effects. Population pressure, caused by the differences in population size, distribution, and composition, has been constantly affected by resource unavailability and environmental instability on the islands. It also represents one of our challenges in understanding the complex influence of population dynamics on the living environment. What can be learned from Tuvalu in the context of population geography and environmental geography as well as its relationship with other Pacific island microstates? What are Tuvaluans' migration responses to their atolls' environmental crisis as well as the carrying capacity scenarios related to overpopulation? What are the current living experiences and settlement situations of Tuvaluan internal and external migrants both at home and abroad? This research examines the contemporary migration literature in the context of Tuvalu's population geography, while analyzing Tuvaluan migration patterns, discourses and perspectives in relation to environmental change.

This study is concerned with providing a reliable procedure of calibrating a set of places specific distance parameters and with applying it to U.S. inter-State migration flows between 1985 and 1900. It attempts to conform to recent advances in quantitative geography that are characterized by an integration of ESDA(exploratory spatial data analysis) and local statistics. ESDA aims to detect the spatial clustering and heterogeneity by visualizing and exploring spatial patterns. A local statistic is defined as a statistically processed value given to each location as opposed to a global statistic that only captures an average trend across a whole study region. Whereas a global distance parameter estimates an averaged level of the friction of distance, place-specific distance parameters calibrate spatially varying effects of distance. It is presented that a poisson regression with an adequately specified design matrix yields a set of either origin-or destination-specific distance parameters. A case study demonstrates that the proposed model is a reliable device of measuring a spatial dimension of migration, and that place-specific distance parameters are spatially heterogeneous as well as spatially clustered.

한국의 경제지리학을 회고하고 전망하기전에 언급의 한계를 명백히 하고저 한다. 첫째는 해방이후 전세계적인 경제지리학의 연구동향을 간단히 일별하면서 그 속에 처하여 있는 한국 경제지리학의 위치를 확인하는 것이고, 둘째는 경제지리학이라 하더래도 그 연구범위는 매우 광범위하므로 이 중에서 연구의 성과가 비교적 현저하다고 볼 수 있는 농업지리 및 공업지리분야에 중점을 두고 언급하려는 것이다. 특히 전후에 두드러지게 나타난 인구지리분야와 응용경제지리학분야에 대해서는 별도로 집필되고 있기 때문에 여기에서는 제외했으며, 지리학이 아닌 타과학에서 미친 영향도 적지 않으나 역시 본고에서는 전문적 지리학연구에만 한정했다. 셋째로, 본고에 동원된 자료는 전문적 학술지에 의존하였으나 가능한 범위까지는 석사논문 수준도 취급의 대상이 되었으며 교재적 성격을 띤 단행본도 이에 포함이 되었다. 단 정책용역의 성격을 띤 보고서류는 그 종류나 수에 있어서 월등하지만 공간이 아닌 경우가 많으므로 업적은 여하간에 취급의 대상에서 배제하였다.

Korean society in the 2000 has experienced new many social and spatial issues such as the process of neoliberalism and changes in urban and spatial policies, the development of information and communication technology and reconfiguration of informational social space, radically increasing foreign immigrants and transformation to multicultural society, global warming and environmental injustice, and these new issues have promoted development of social geography in Korea. In addition to a review on them, this paper provides a review on empirical researches on traditional issues which have been dealt with in social geography in the 2000 in Korea. Even though there have been numerous sub-issues, they can be divided into two categories: one is urban and communal social geography including urban housing and residential segregation, urban social problems such as poverty, crime, education, health care, social welfare, urban and rural community building, identity, sense of place, and social movement; the other is social geography of population and migration, including population movement, aged society and social welfare for elderly people, and foreign immigrants and formation of multicultural social space. As some difficult conditions such as path-dependent process of neoliberalism, transformation toward informational, aged, and multicultural society would continue, so social geography in Korea to tackle with these external conditions should deepen its theoretical insights and widen its research issues.

지지학은 지역지리학(regional geography)으로 달리 표현되는데, 특정 지역을 지형, 기후, 생물 같은 자연적인 현상과 교통, 취락, 경제, 인구 등의 인문적인 요소를 분석하고 종합적인 판단을 내려 지역성을 규명하는 분야라고 하겠다. 지지는 땅을 기술한다는 의미를 담고있는 용어로서 지리학(geo-graphy)의 출발과 맥을 같이한다. 근대지리학의 발상지인 독일의 경우지지전물관(Museum fur Landeskunde, Leipzig, 1892)과 지지연구실(Institut f\ulcornerr Landeskunde, Zentralarchiv for Landeskunde von Deutschland, Bad Godesberg, 1882)을 운영하고 있고, 가까운 일본만 하더라도 풍토기라는 이름의 다양한 지지서가 오래 전부터 편찬되어 왔으며 공식적인 연구기관으로 일본지지연구소를 두고 있다.
