위치 지식의 개념화를 위한 사례 연구

Abstract

This study investigated the cases of relative location, especially focused on the geomorphological situation, for the conceptualization of the location knowledge. In order to perform this study, first of all, I approached meaning of location. In this study I used the terms ‘site’ and ‘situation’. ‘Site’ as used here means the location of a given place with its local internal features or resources. ‘Situation’ refers to the location of place as related to other places. As to location, no place exists in isolation. Therefore, it is necessary to look beyond the internal nature of the area itself to perceive its external relations with other areas. The examples of geomorphological situation were focused on the scale linkage of the examples, the interaction between elements of earth surface processes, and the method of comparative region. The regions of examples were the landscape of Mt. Hymalaya to Bengal deep sea fan, the climatical difference of continental east and west, the landscape of Mt. Geum & Sangju beach, the landscape of the south and north face of Mt. Mai., Hamjibaakgol asymmetrical valley, and the landscape of inland sea and outer sea type island.
