Bangladesh is a South Asian country with subtropical monsoonal climate between the intersection of the Indo-Himalayan and Indo-Chinese sub-regions, is known as biodiversity hotspot of the Asian region. The country has different types of forest like deciduous forest, evergreen forest, mixed forest, haor (wetlands) and mangrove forest. The natural beauty of the country is increased with the presence of so many rivers, longest sea beach of the world, green plants, critical hilly regions and green agricultural forest widely spread here and there. Sundarbans is the world largest mangrove forest and world natural heritage site declared by UNESCO in 1999 situated in Bangladesh and India. About 62 percent of this mangrove forest is situated in Bangladesh and there are so many plants and animals are found in this forest. To meet the increasing demand of the large population most of the natural ecosystem is now altered, deforestation rate is increased, natural habitat of the species is disturbed. Due to the imbalance of the climate and natural system many of the rare species of the world found this region is now endangered and some of the species are extinct. Directly or indirectly they are benefited from natural resources. At present time community, based ecotourism is also an important source of income for rural poor peoples. To protect the natural resources the government is now developed so many conservation acts and policy as well NGOs are also doing work for the conservation of ecosystem and biodiversity. At present transboundary pollutants and so many natural disasters also destruct the natural resources of Bangladesh.

The assessment of perceived naturalness aims to elucidate the human perception and explain the interaction between natural environments and humans. The perception of ecological assets that exhibit distinct characteristics within a specific region can manifest in various representations. Based on the users' perceptions and interviews regarding ecological assets, this study assessed the perceived naturalness from a cultural services perspective. Specifically, the discussions on Ansan City's ecological assets and revolved around the inherent value of naturalness in dimensions, such as the necessity for conservation and the sustainable development of ecological assets, the perception of ecosystem benefits, the representativeness as a local asset, and usability. Subsequently, the Q method was employed to present 25 representative ecological assets to 25 users. As a result, user groups with different value systems for each question were identified, and hypothetical personas for cultural service enjoyment were distinguished. The most representative persona among the 25 users was identified as AWP (a type that values the conservation of aquatic ecosystems, prefers waterfront landscapes, and enjoys walking). Since perceived naturalness is conceptually similar to the "benefits perceived by users" in evaluating ecosystem services, it can provide more practical evaluation criteria for cultural services.

대전광역시 동구에 있는 낭월동은 대전에서 손꼽히는 차세대 주거지역이다. 블과 몇 년 전까지만 해도 중심가에서 멀고 편의시설이 부족하다는 등의 이유로 외면 받던 지역이었으나 최근 웰빙 열풍을 타고 이곳의 자연환경이 주목을 받게 되면서부터 상황이 역전되기 시작했다. 낭월동은 식장산, 보문산 공원, 대전천 등으로 둘러싸여 있다. 주거지역으로서는 나무랄 데 없는 자연친화적인 지역인 것이다. 이런 이유로 이 지역 곳곳에선 대단위 아파트 단지 건설이 속속 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 최근 유독 높은 관심을 받고 있는 곳이 있다. 그곳은 바로 대림산업의 남대전 e-편한세상 현장. 원래 대림산업 자체가 신재생에너지 사용 단지 등으로 인해 친환경적인 아파트를 짓는 건설사로 유명한데 이런 장점이 이 지역의 특성과 맞물려 떨어지면서 더욱 주가를 높이고 있는 것. 게다가 그 시공과정 또한 깨끗하고 안전하다는 평가를 받고 있어 '믿을 수 있는 아파트'로 지역에서 유명세를 떨치고 있다. '안전'과 '환경' 이 두가지를 통해 지역 최고의 현장으로 불리고 있는 이곳 현장을 찾아가 봤다.

This research aims to analyze the meanings that the inscription of 'jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes' onto UNESCO World Natural Heritage and the promotion of Geomunoreum International Trekking Fair has given to ecotourism in Jeju. The inscription of Jeju World Natural Heritage and its extension into Geomunoreum International Trekking Fair generated important meanings in Jeju ecotourism in terms of promotion subjects and direction of the natural heritage use. First, this research holds that the local government became a crucial role on ecotourism development, along with small-sized-voluntary group tourists. Second, the research reflects the change of Jeju ecotourism characteristics from simple landscape-oriented tourism to theme tourism such as Geo-tourism. Finally it was found out that community residents were encouraged to participate in regional engagement, while I suggest for some concrete ways to induce their participation for community-based development.

This study aims to develop and operate education program for the region-focused field study on the physical geography for the students to understand their community places in the geography classes of elementary and, secondary schools and college. The theme of the program is understanding the geomorphic structures and processes including river channel, wetland, levee, terrace, sand and gravel bar and alluvial island, floodplain and irrigation system in Miho river basin, Chuncheong Province of Central Korea. For the study of regional geography as their community, the field education is focused on relations of landform to everyday life, though different levels in learning achievement according to each school classes. But, the purpose of the field education is, same at all classes, for student to analyze and understand the geomorphic effects on the place of everyday life in geography education.

1960년대 후반에 들어서면서 국내 경제가 급속도로 성장, 식량의 자급화와 산림 녹화 산업이 발달하게 되었고, 화학·철강·기계공업에 대한 투자와 함께 산업이 고도화되기 시작했다. 이와 함께 자연을 효율적으로 이용하기 위해 인공적으로 개조를 하는, 즉 종합적인 국토개발이 진행되었는데, 이는 인구의 증가와 더불어 생활의 영역이 확대되면서 발달된 토목 및 과학기술의 발달로 인해 가능한 것이었다. 1962년 제1차 경제개발 5개년 계획이 수립되면서 개발효과가 큰 경인특정지역과 공업단지를 위한 울산지역, 토지개간. 수자원개발을 위한 영산강지역 등을 중심으로 국토를 정비하고 주거의 환경을 개선하기 위한 국가적인 작업이 추진되었고 자연스럽게 건설 산업이 호황을 이루게 되었다.

Due to the recent climate change impact, natural disasters occur due to sea surface rising, typhoon attacks, flash floods, local heavy rainfalls, landslides, and coastal area erosion, continuing to cause human and property damage. These impacts, coupled with urbanization and industrialization activities, are turning the previously safe areas into disaster-vulnerable areas, increasing human and economic damage. This paper aimed to prepare measures designed to minimize human damage in natural disaster vulnerable parts of South Korea in summer. Toward that end, how vulnerable areas were managed and what the damage was like were studied. Also, cases of human damage and statistics there of were reviewed and analyzed, relevant problems were derived, and thus structural and non-structural measures designed to minimize human damage were presented.

With the increase in leisure life, the population of ski resorts is rapidly increasing. The activity at the ski resort is likely to receive a direct chance of natural sunlight or space ray. Because it is located in the mountains where altitude exists. As a general rule, it is widely known that the higher the elevation rate, the more increasing the natural radiation dose. However, the natural radiation dose rate for the ski slopes has not been reported yet. Various ski resorts exist in Korea, but this study had chose 4 ski resorts to measure the natural dose of natural radiation. As a result, the natural radiation dose for the ski slope was measured at a relatively high dose of ordinary living areas. However, the level of natural radiation dose was not worrisome. It is recommended to wear ski wear or goggles to minimize natural radiation exposure at the ski slopes.
