연안에서 12해리 밖의 배타적 경제수역을 포함하는 공해에서의 해저지명은 기구나 국가에서 지명 심의 제안을 IHO 산하 해저지명소위원회(SCUFN)에 요청하여 채택이 되면 정식 국제해저지명으로 인정받게 되고 해도 및 각종 지명자료에도 활용된다. 해저지명은 종종 영유권 주장의 근거로 활용되기 때문에 공해를 탐사하고 해저지명을 제안하여 채택하는 것은 국가적 차원에서도 중요한 일이다. 국가간 갈등 및 지역간 갈등을 유발할 수 있는 지명에 대한 제안 양식이 존재하지만, 제안자의 자유 기입 측면이 강해서 지명의 제안과 승인 및 적용을 위한 데이터베이스 관리의 어려움이 존재한다. 또한 지명 제안의 근거가 되는 각종 과학적 자료의 보존과 활용에도 제약이 크다. 본 연구에서는 해저지명에 대한 표준 마련의 일환으로 현재의 해저지명 관리 현황을 분석하고 S-100 기반의 해저지명 데이터 모델을 구축하였으며 그 결과 지명 분류를 고려한 데이터 모델의 초안을 완성하였다.

This study aims to provide research fields and topics to complement, extend and develop the geographical toponymy in Korea, largely based on a summary of topics discussed in the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). The Korean toponymic research has generally focused on revealing human, social and physical characteristics of the region by investigating the creation and change of the geographical names, with the perspective of creator and owner of the toponyms. Toponymic researches in the UNGEGN, in comparison, have put forward with the mission of standardization of geographical names and with specific emphasis on the users of toponyms. The topics include diverse forms of toponyms by user groups, roles of language groups, preservation of toponyms with specific value, etc. As research directions for an establishment of extended geographical toponymy accommodating discussions in the UNGEGN, further research topics are suggested; use of exonyms and endonyms in the Korean language, the nature of geographical feature and perception over it, writing systems for inter-language communication, and geographical names as intagible cultural heritage.

Geographical name is not only a spoken or written language that has been constructed as a linguistic element, but it is also a geographical phenomenon and a cultural element. Based upon this consciousness, the purpose of this paper is to examine current classification and management systems of the geographical names in Korea and to propose a new alternative classification and maintenance of the geographical names. In particular, the paper suggests three categories for the type classification of the geographical names: morpheme, linguistic change, and contestation types. In turn, this paper investigates the index of the geographical names contained in THE NATIONAL ATLAS OF KOREA (2007) on the basis of the preceding classification types in order to unveil the practical problems and limitations of the current classification articulated in the national atlas. This paper also proposes a new classification of the geographical naming that reflects the divisions of front and back morpheme of geographical names. Finally, from the discussions with the reinforcement of National Committee on Geographical Names, this paper invokes administrative and institutional protection and systematical management of the contesting and unofficial small scaled geographical names that have been set apart from the current geographical name standardization.

This article aims to investigate the geographical distribution and the cultural, historical, and symbolic meanings of the place names in the area of Bukhansanseong (Fortress), and to basically suggest the several features which have happened throughout the process of toponymic changes. In order to realize the purpose of the article, I collected the chronological toponymic data, particularly focusing on the Bukhanji (Record of Bukhansanseong, 1745) in which the most existing place names related to Bukhansanseong are recorded. In the meantime, I proposed the character of distributions and types of the physical, human place names according to the rear-part of toponymic morpheme, i.e. the generic name. Moreover, selecting the main place names such as 'Bukhansan', etc., I analyzed some features on the toponymic meanings and changes in accordance with the fore-part of toponymic morpheme, the specific name. Consequently, I identified the facts that the name of 'Bukhansan' in the era of the Three Kingdoms, 'Samgaksan' in the Goryeo Dynasty, and again 'Bukhansan' or 'Buksan' in the Joseon Dynasty era had been primarily called. And then the place name, 'Bukhansan' has been officially named until now since constructing the Bukhansanseong Fortress in 1711. Meanwhile, the physical place names related to mountainous and fluvial topography, the place names of artificial facilities such as a mountain fortress on this geographical environment, and especially Buddhistic place names which was named and identified by Buddhist monk, Seongneung who wrote the Bukhanji, representing the Buddhistic identity and ideology, form a large majority of the place names within Bukhansanseong.

This study is to comparatively analyse the place names on "Cheonggu-do"("靑邱圖", manuscript edition, 1834) and "Daedongyeo-jido"("大東輿地圖", woodblock-edition, 1861). Though the same person-Kim, Jungho(金正浩)- published those maps, and the latter was based on the former map, place names on thos maps are very different. The hypothesis is that those different information on maps were not from the cartographic, but from the social aspects at that times. The whole township names on "Cheonggu-do" were erased in "Daedongyeo-jido". The other names such as mountain, river, port, castle, beacons, official waer houses were recorded instead of township. Especially military names which were recorded newly in "Daedongyeo-jido", such as castle, beacon, ranches for the defense of nation, was geographical distributed in a strategic and key point in the northern and coastal area. This shows that there were rules for the mapping of "Daedongyeo-jido" and those rules could be come from the social demand.

세계화의 빠른 진행과 더불어 외국에 대한 정확한 인식은 매우 중요한 문제로 등장하였다. 아직도 사실적 오류와 더불어 국제관계에서의 위치 때문에 많은 오류가 남아 있는 점도 사실이다. 그 가운데 미국의 위성영상서비스 가운데 가장 대표적인 구글사의 검색서비스와 미국지리정보국의 지명데이터베이스에 관한 내용을 분석함으로서 문제의 뿌리가 어디인지를 밝히고자 하였다. 이미 구글에 관련된 논문은 Science Direct 검색결과 69개가 검색되고 있을 만큼 전세계적 문화적 영향력을 가지고 있다. 본고에서는 전 세계의 지명을 영어로 서비스하고 있는 구글사와 미국의 지명 DB내에 있는 오류사례를 찾아내고, 그 유형을 분석하고, 특히 일제의 강점을 당했던 한국과 대만사례를 비교하는 데 있다. 대만 역시 1945년 제2차 세계대전의 종전으로 인해 일본의 영향에서 벗어나게 되었다. 따라서 지명에도 일본의 영향이 크게 남아 있을 것으로 보고 앞서 나온 유형대로 몇 개의 분석을 실시하였다. 그 중 대표적인 것을 들면, 경상남도 남해군 일원의 위성영상을 보면 최소한 3개의 일본식 지명이 나타난다. 우선 해양지명으로 미조만은 Mijo-wan으로 앵강만은 Oko-wan으로 표시되어 있고, 천황산은 Tenno San이라는 지명으로 나타나고 있다. 제주도의 한라산을 지칭하는 표준어는 Halla-san으로 등재되어 있으나 이명으로 소개되어 있는 것이 무려 11개나 등록되어 있는 것으로 파악되었다. Halla-san에 대한 미국의 NGA(National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency)의 지명정보 데이터베이스에서 검색한 결과는 아래와 같다. 앞의 간라산 또는 간다산 등은 일본식 표기임이 확실하며 여기에 오크랜드산(Auckland, Mount)이라고 또한 표기되어 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 대만의 경우 총 1,280개의 산악명과 산맥명이 등재되어 있으니 일본어 표기는 하나도 없으며, 영어로 Central Mountains와 Seaboard Mountains두개만 영문표기 지명이 등재되어 있을 뿐이며, 그 가운데 12개는 한자로 표기되어 있다. 국내의 지명이 모두 영문 알파벳으로 표기된 것과는 달리 대만의 경우 한자지명이 그대로 데이터베이스에 등재되어 있다. 하천의 경우를 분석해보면 1485개의 지명이 등록되어 있으며 이 가운데 24개는 한자지명으로 표기되어 있다. 유형별 분석을 통한 연구결과가 올바른 지명 찾기에 기여하고, 독도와 백두산에 국한된 지명논쟁의 근간을 공고히 하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

This study has a research objective to suggest detailed rules and principles to transcribe geographical names in English for English version electronic map service. For this, guidelines which are used in English transcription of local geographical names in Korea and English transcription situations of Korea geographical names in foreign electronic map service were examined. Examining results of current situations showed the English transcription method of home and abroad geographical names caused the chaos because it is not homogenized. In order to identify easy and preferred transcription method for foreigners among English transcription methods about the geographical names which are used together like this, the preference of English transcription methods of the geographical names was examined targeting foreigners. Survey results showed that foreigners prefer to transcribe in Roman character (Romanization) with its semantic word together than just to transcribe the Roman character. Reflecting this preference research results, our country's geographical names were classified as Natural features, Cultural features and man-made structures, and Administrative units and the detailed English transcription rules and principles of each geographical names were suggested.

All of area we live in has its own geographic names. Even small size of rock under the water has its own name. They are called "marine geographic names". Marine geographic names can be classified two categories. One is a proper name; the other is an attribute name. Rocks, reefs and banks referred in the introduction, belong to the category of the attribute name. And there are certain standards to name marine geographic things. In this study, we conducted a case research with the aims to figure out how we name and use those three features that we consider dangerous factors for marine navigation. This study also focused on differences between the methods used to classify attributes of marine geographic names in the past and today. In addition, it reviewed and analyzed marine geographic names used by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA) on its own Nautical charts and conducted a case research on marine geographic names notified by Korean Committee on Marine Geographic Names. Based on research and analysis, this study presents future methods regarding marine geographic names standardization.
