This paper deals with the village names in Geoje City[Geoje Island], Hundreds of village names in the city are found to be based on some environmental features such as landforms, weather, and soil of the island. A considerable number of village names in the city are derived from the mountainous landforms with steep slopes or from the extremely indented coastlines with many small islands, and some village names are originated from the weather and soil. In this paper, it is realized that the village names often reflect the environments perception of the residents and that they can give some clues to the environment's changes of the places.

The study focused on analyzing spatial sampling by minimizing autocorrelation of spatial based on spatial and geographical data. The study concluded two different ways of minimizing autocorrelation. First, it was important to use suitable spatial sampling method to alienate spatial autocorrelation from spatial or geographical data. The shear distribution rate of public transportation in Seoul resulted in high rate of autocorrelation. However, the study showed samples eliminated autocorrelation when samples were extracted with reasonable distance(above 400m) apart. Without spatial sampling the distortion of spatial data leads to false results; therefore, spatial sampling is indispensable. Second, factors which fluctuates shear distribution of public transportation spatial sampling changed before and after spatial sampling. This was caused by incapable of controling inherent spatial autocorrelation of the data.

This study suggests that the contents and methods focusing on the leamer's geographical experience of everyday life and environments, are very effective for teaching and teaming in geography subject matter. The contents have to be selected and structurized from private geographies about their region of everyday life for teaming abstractive and scientific concepts of geography. Scientific concepts of geography, i.e. geographical concepts become 'scope'for selecting the contents and these systematic structure substitutes 'sequence'. The criteria by which selected contents of teaching and teaming based on everyday life may consist of three elements: region as leamer's place for everyday life; concrete experience of the place; and leamer's changing geographical experiences.

Motivated by the finding that place names are highly capable of acting as one of the most conspicuous brands in the economy, this study has explored the essential nature of the brand value of place names and has suggested possible methodology to evaluate this value. As the place name brand has multidimensional elements mirroring the attributes of place, its understanding should be framed in terms both of users of place names as a subject and of place as an object. In order to evaluate the brand value of place names, the possibility of adopting the concept of customer-based brand equity, which is centered on the perception and assessment of customers, has been reviewed and more detailed items of evaluation have been addressed. A few future research topics are suggested: the nature of brand value; its relevance to place identity; the influence of place marketing; the significance of exposing place names to the public; the effect of geographic indication on brand value; delineating the spatial boundary of geographic indication items.

This study attempts at prototyping and evaluating a geovisualization tool that summarizes and explores human activity patterns using spatio-temporal trajectory data collected from GPS receiver. A set of core conceptualization developed in 'time geography' is successfully represented by our prototype based on the notion of 'space-time cube.' The notions of 'temporal dispersion cylinder' and 'parallel plane plot' are also implemented to allow funker analyses of human activity pattern on the space-time trajectory. The capabilities of the geovisualization environment we proposed include the interactive and dynamic functions that support a variety of explorations on the three components of spatio-temporal data : space(where), time(when), and object(what).

Public policy responses to the digital/information revolution and the micro-economic reforms that it facilitates have inspired exploration of the scope for local government implementation of digital spatial data handling(DSDH) of information relating to, among other things, asset inventory, environmental and utility management, address management, and planning. The results from these explorations are such that few doubt the value of bringing the public policies to practice, but diffusion rate and pattern of the approaches demonstrated by the scoping experiments will reflect institutional/cultural matters, indicators of the relative significance of which might be at least partly predicted from appraisal of case studies. This argument is exemplified by reference to case studies in adoption of DSDH by local government organizations in Korea and in Australia.

Even though rarely recognized as a separate approach, the institutional approach in geography is defined as an attempt to seek an explanation of the phenomena of geographical interest through focusing on the effects of institutional structure and actions. It can provide interdisciplinary links with other works and can offer complementary explanations for geographical interests. The concerns for institutions in geography can be found in early studies, the study of the state, the managerial approach, and the regulation approach. The Korean financial systems can provide good examples to apply institutional concepts into creating spatial outcomes, as it has been regarded as a useful tool to promote Korean economic development. Behind the current spatial pattern of financial systems, four different stages of institutional changes are identified in Korea. Each stage has different institutional features reflecting unique spatial implication.

OTT 플랫폼의 발달로 다른 나라의 미디어를 쉽게 소비할 수 있게 되면서 국경이 더욱 모호해졌다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 각국의 미디어 콘텐츠가 세계적으로 어떻게 소비되고 있는지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 그리고 이러한 미디어 흐름에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 미디어 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름 이론을 바탕으로 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름과 관련된 경제적 요인과 문화적 요인을 고찰한다. 연구 데이터로 2021년 1월 1일부터 2021년 6월 20일까지 80개국 넷플릭스에서 매일 가장 많이 본 TV 프로그램 10개 중 13만6800개의 결과를 수집하였다. 첫 번째 분석 결과, 미국 TV 콘텐츠는 여전히 OTT 환경(일명 글로벌 중심국)에서 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 소비되는 콘텐츠였지만, 한국, 영국, 멕시코/콜롬비아(일명 준중심국)를 중심으로 새로운 3개 생산-소비자 그룹이 식별되었다. 두 번째 분석 결과, 경제적 요인(생산국의 GDP와 소비국의 TV 콘텐츠 자급률)과 문화적 요인(언어적 근접성, 지리적 거리, 문화적 거리)로 OTT 환경에서 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름을 설명할 수 있었다. 마지막 분석결과, 지리적 거리와 언어적 유사성이 세계 중심 국가보다 준중심 국가가 제작하는 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름을 설명하는 데 더 중요한 요소로 드러났다.

최근 디지털 컨텐츠의 기하급수적인 증가와 함께 사용자가 접하고 관리해야 하는 파일의 양이 급격히 늘어나고 있으며 이에 따라 폴더의 계층구조가 넓고 깊어지는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 현재 파일시스템은 크게 두 가지 형태로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 사용자 자신에게 의미 있는(semantic) 계층구조(hierarchical structure)형태의 폴더 내에 파일을 저장하는 방식과 Meta Tag를 사용한 방식이다. 이러한 두 가지 파일시스템을 사용자가 인식하고 Conceptual Model을 형성해 가는 과정에 있어서 사용자의 지리적, 역사적 전통 등의 문화적 요소들이 기저에서 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 각기 다른 문화적 성향을 가지고 있는 사용자 간의 File System을 인식하고 구조화하는데 있어서 차이점이 있을 것이라는 가설을 수립 하였고, 가설을 검증하기 위하여 파일 시스템의 사용 행태를 분류하고, 이러한 행태들이 사용자의 문화적 요소에 따라 어떠한 차이를 보이는지에 대하여 페이퍼 프로토타이핑 등의 기법을 사용하여 실험을 설계 하였다. 또한 이러한 연구모델의 검증을 위하여 파일럿 테스트를 진행하여 실효성 있는 가설검증방법에 대한 모델을 제안하고자 한다.

In Korea, aside from their official administrative names, aliases of each province or some regions are widely used not only today but also during the Joseon period when the provincial system as local administrative system was firmly implemented. Of aliases, the most representative were Giho, Gwandong, Hoseo, Haeseo, Honam, Yaeongnam, Gwanseo, and Gwanbuk representing the eight provinces (precisely, Gyeonggi and seven provinces) of Chosun Dynasty, as well as Yeongdong and Yeongseo that represent the east and the west of Gangwon-do. These aliases are mostly based on topographical features and physiographical elements, and compared to the official names of eight provinces which depended solely on city names. Of aliases, some appeared in literature during 13-l4th centuries, and all provincial aliases seem to have been widely used after the late 15th century. Aliases continued to be used for 500 to over 700 years. Aliases of eight provinces, geographically, played not lesser role than their official names. Aliases of the eight provinces and regions during the Chosun Dynasty that have been handed down are considered as holding their places' cultural and historical backgrounds, and have become important enough to be accepted as a unit of geographical regional division. The origin and meaning of aliases of each province have been partially disclosed to the geographical circle and the general public. However, the details should be reviewed. First of all, Gwan in Gwanbuk, Gwanseo and Gwandong, as well as Yeong in Yeongnam, Yeongdong and Yeongseo, are each considered as meaning Sobaek Mountain Range and Taebaek Mountain Range with many borderline areas (borders) and military strategic hubs. Also, Ho in Honam, Hoseo, and Giho, are considered as based on the Geum River and Eurimji, and Haeseo are considered as meaning the west of the Gyeonggi Bay, and having relevancy with the first letters of Haeju and Seoha (Pungcheon).
