The purpose of this paper is to search for geomorphological landscape resources of Goryeong-gun, to provide fundamental data for their management through mapping their distribution, and to present their conservation and application plan. The results are as follow: Firstly, geomorphological landscape resources in mountain area are Misungsan and Jusan mountain of Goryeong-up, Sangbiri valley of Deoggok-myeon, and isolated hill of Gaejin-myeon. Secondly, geomorphological landscape resources in riparian area are natural wetlands such as Jinchonneup of Bu-ri Gaejin-myeon, Hochonneup and Dalseongseupji of Hochon-ri Dasan-myeon, Bongsanneup of Bongsan-ri Ugok- myeon; artificial wetlands following the construction of weir such as riparian wetland of Oe-ri Goryeong-up and Banun-ri Gaejin-myeon; meander core and abandoned channel of Banun-ri Gaejin -myeon, river cliffs such as Naegok-ri Goryeong-up and Weolo-ri Ugok-myeon; sand bars and braided channel of Yajeong-ri Ugok-myeon. Thirdly, Jinchonneup swamp area of Bu-ri Gaejin-myeon have characteristics of typical floodplain landform, and its conservation conditions is relatively satisfactory, and its accessibility to metropolis is great, so it is a good place to construct eco-park. And construction of inquiry learning place at Banun-ri Gaejin-myeon will increase the opportunity to observe environmental changes following incised meander cutoff and ecological affirmative functions of a weir.
