The Korean government has recently announced its plan to establish the first National Museum of Natural History. However, the Korean word for natural history, jayonsa, is not a very familiar term to some academics as well as the general public. This article discusses the definition and history of natural history, describes the functions of natural history meseums, and makes suggestions to the establishment of our National Museum. Modern natural history is no longer an art of ‘stamp collecting’. It is a comprehensive scientific endeavor pursuing to enlighten the history of the planet Earth and the diversity of natural objects it contains. Natural history museum must have two museums within the museum: the outer museum for exhibition and general public education and the inner museum for research and specialist education. I hope that our National Museum of Natural History will be a place where we all get to know about Nature and thus to love her.

This paper compares presentation methods which are characteristic among museums of natural history in Korea. The different medium for exhibitions are divided into Specimen, Model or Panel Type Displays, Video Presentations, Sound, and Tactile Exhibits, and further classified as Fixed (A Type), Observable (B Type), or Performance Art (C Type) Displays. The museums we studied were the Seodaemun Museum of Natural History, Ewha Womans University Museum of Natural History, Seoul National Science Museum, Gyeryongsan Natural History Museum, the National Science Museum, Mokpo Natural History Museum, and the JejuDo Folklore and Natural History Museum. A study of these museums' approaches to display composition, and exhibition methods according to their exhibit types and contents, revealed the following results: The museums of natural history rely more on Fixed type displays to show information, with appropriate uses of the Observable and the Performance Art type exhibitions. Better utilization of appropriate medium is desired for display contents of Astronomy Space Earth, Minerals Rocks Geology, Animals, Plants, Insects, Prehistoric Organisms Environment, and Anthropology.

Natural history museums preserve and manage the creatures living in each country, so they play unique roles for bio-diversity, and in fact, their roles are really instrumental for the collection, preservation, research, exhibition and education of creatures in the 21st century. Therefore, this research has the purpose to survey the status of our country's existing natural history museums, analyze their visual perception space structural characteristics, and ultimately utilize their characteristics as basic data in planning out and designing spaces of natural history museums to be established later on. As for the research scope, the research selected as research subjects 7 natural history museums that currently have composite set of open type and mixed type and have been accommodating comparatively active exhibitions since 2000 among 10 or so natural history museums in our country. Research method is that the research analyzed the exhibition spaces of 7 natural history museums by using depthmap program which can analyze space with visual graph analysis function, and analyzed the visibility among unit areas by each natural history museum integration and exhibition contents composition. In such analysis method, the research was able to quantitatively analyze the visual characteristics of exhibition space that induces and adjusts the motion of audience. Visual perception quantitative analysis as in this research will enhance exhibition design by considering the correlation between audience and exhibited items when planning out natural history museums space to be established later on.

이 연구의 목적은 기능이 극대화된 국립자연사박물관을 설립하기 위한 방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 1987년부터 2009년까지 국내외 자연사박물관에 대한 방문 조사와 학술적 연구를 통하여 자연사와 자연사박물관의 기원과 변천 과정을 정리하였으며, 국내 자연사 관련 박물관의 질적 양적 수준을 국제적으로 비교 하였다. 한국의 자연사박물관 수는 세계 100위권 밖에 머물러 있고 학문적 연구 능력과 표본 관리 능력 및 출판 능력은 초보적인 수준에 머물러 있다. 특히 연구원의 수가 너무 적고 연구 기반이 구축되어 있지 않으며, 전시-교육 전문가도 턱없이 부족하여 연구 결과물과 학술지를 발간하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 최적화된 국립자연사박물관을 건립하기 위해서는 국립자연사박물관 설립 전에 연구-표본 관리-출판-전시-교육 기능을 활성화해야 한다.

The objective of this paper is to monitor damage in beam-type structures by using time history of natural frequencies. First, numerical experiments on test beams are described, Dynamic responses of the test structures are obtained for several damage scenarios in a consequent order. Next, the time history of natural frequencies are extracted for the first four modes from the dynamic responses of the test structures. Finally, damage detection in the test structures is performed using the time-history of natural frequencies.

본 연구는 자연수 개념이 역사적으로 전개된 방식을 이해하는 것이 수학적$\cdot$ 교육적으로 매우 중요함에도 불구하고, 그 역사적 고찰이 미진한 상태에 있다는 데에 문제 의식을 갖고 출발하였다. 그리하여 자연수 개념이 역사적으로 어떻게 논의되어 왔는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 수학의 발달 과정에서 수가 어떤 의미를 지녔는지, 문화적$\cdot$사회적 요소가 수 개념을 이해하는 방식과 수 개념의 발달에 어떤 영향을 주었는지 밝힘으로써 자연수 개념에 대한 이해를 풍부하게 하고자 하였다. 그리고 자연수 개념의 역사에 나타난 특징을 드러내고자 하였다.

This research aimed for revealing social interaction-based environmental learning elements at the natural history museum. First, we carried out a survey of the perceptual change about 'the environment' concept. It was for confirming whether environmental learning occurred in visiting. Second, we found environmental learning elements through analyzing dialogues among small group members during looking around the museum. Social interaction-based environmental learning elements were classified into five; knowledge, affection, value, skill, behaviour. Each environmental learning element included several sub-elements, so we revealed totally 9 environmental learning sub-elements. By results, we said characteristics and possibility of the natural history museum as an informal environmental educational institution. It is meaningful for extending areas of environmental education.

본 연구는 우리나라에 있는 자연사박물관 전문 인력들에 대한 현황을 분석하여, 향후 건립될 국립자연사박물관에서 근무할 전문 인력들을 어떻게 양성해야 하는 지에 대한 제안을 하고자 한다. 지난 20여 년간 여러 학술단체와 전문가 그룹의 국립자연사박물관 건립을 위한 다각적인 노력은 지속적으로 이루어져왔다. 그 중에서도 한국지구과학회는 자연사박물관과 과학관에 관한 여러 논문 발표를 통해 활발한 논의와 연구를 수행해오고 있다. 향후 건립될 국립자연사 박물관은 숙련된 전문인력들을 필요로 하며, 한국지구과학회에서는 이와 관련된 맞춤형 전문과정을 설치하여 다양한 분야에 맞추어 양성해야 한다.

We assumed that natural history museums have rooms for functioning as institutions for the environmental education, especially in aspects of multi-disciplinary, informal education. So we set goals of this research as finding 1) how much environmental education contents are reflected in exhibits of natural history museums, and 2) what those characteristics in aspects of dimension, range, and topic are. First, we developed a framework for analyzing of environmental education contents. Second, we applied the framework to seven major natural history museums. As the result, environmental education contents are reflected by 69.1% totally. Especially, the 'knowledge' dimension covered mostly, and among them the range of 'elements of Ecosystem' occupied more than other ranges. With inferring our results, we suggested that characteristics of natural history museums in environmental education are followed; spatial-temporal expansion of bio-diversity concept, visualizing impacts of human activity against nature.
