This study is a contribution to the geographical understanding of Daejeon Area, playing the role of principal center of Choongchong Province. This area has been urbanized associated with Daejeon Basin, an important natural unit in the middle part of South Korea. In order to understand Daejeon Area in geographer's view, it is necessary to elucidate geomorphological environment of Daejeon Basin and urban expansion pattern associating with it. Our research is converged into dual objectives: one, description and interpretation of basin's landforms; other, urban expansion relating with geomorphological condition. Daejeon's urban expansion has progressed from the border zone of Daejeon Basin toward into the basin, and then vice versa. Relating to rivers valleys in the basin, the urbanization in the basin has been extended from the river valleys of lower order toward those of higher order. Understanding of the geomorphological mosaique of Daejeon basin is an important base for that of urban mosaique of Daejeon City.

In order to investigate the diversity of yeasts from major rivers (the Daejeoncheon, Gapcheon and Yudeungcheon) located in Daejeon city, we isolated wild yeasts by plating diluents of samples collected during the summer and winter of 2016 onto yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium, then identified them using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis to compare the nucleotide sequences of the PCR amplicons for the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA. In total, we isolated 191 yeast strains belonging to 104 species from 148 soil or water samples from the rivers and their junctions. Candida spp. (45 strains) including Candida tropicalis (22 strains) were the most abundantly isolated strains from the Daejeoncheon. Candida spp. (16 strains) including Candida vartiovaarae (8 strains) and Candida spp. (18 strains) such as Candida sake (4 strains) were also the dominant isolates from the Gapcheon and Yudeungcheon, respectively. In conclusion, Candida spp. and Cryptococcus spp. were the most dominant strains, corresponding to 42% and 7% of the 191 yeast strains isolated in this study, respectively.

This study is targeted on children's parks in Seogu, Daejeon with the goal of maximizing the usage and versatility of existing parks in the area by the survey and analysis of the general status of children's parks, land use near the parks, population, users, and traits of usage. For the purposes of this thesis this study has selected 65 of the children's parks in the Seogu District to monitor. It also focused on a number of these parks located in areas which underwent a lot of changes and needed an increase in usage and versatility. Based on the selection criteria, the four target parks, Wojeong, Meongwhack, Dosan and Wicdunjimi children's park were selected. The Survey shows that 55.9% of park visitors visited a park to 'rest and take a walk' and used 'main facilities' meaning resting facilities like pergola and benches. In the nighttime, the number of park visitors is so few because of safety problems. 50% of users were satisfied with parks. It shows that there are many respondents who want to recompose these parks as places for light exercise, resting, meeting, and as community symbols. Generally, these target parks don't reach their full potential and they also do not play their proper roles because they are hampered by the constriction of the law. These stick to an outdated idea of what a park should be like without considering the actual and practical needs of city dwellers. When it comes to the remodeling and refurbishing of these parks we have to rethink the planning process so that these parks may be more versatile and practical in order to accommodate the radical changes of users and patterns of usage.
