Considering the importance of authenticity in valuing and adjusting population-reduced areas, this study aims to identify fluctuation in authenticity regarding unique resources in surfer beach in Yangyang county, Jemincheon street in Gongju city, and cheese village in Imsil county. It also presents a process of building a management strategy to create an enriched economy by regional valuations based on the fluctuation in authenticity. The analysis results are as follows. In various surfer beaches, it was activity- related authenticity that the surfers pursued as value and identity. In Gongju city, essential authenticity plays a role for the residents in interacting with the natural existence of a river and various historical cultures. In cheese village, brand authenticity has been established based on the know-how accumulated through experience and knowledge in the production of dairy products. These types of authenticity are in the process of fluctuation. The activity-related authenticity of surfer beach reflects a process of socio- political interpretation led by service establishments and administrative agencies. The essential authenticity of Jemincheon street is a process of socio-political interpretation led by administrative agencies along with young people and region-creating migrants. The brand authenticity of cheese village has fluctuated as a process of socio-political interpretation led by administrative agencies or villagers. Despite the fluctuation in authenticity, community development of an enriched economy should go through a valuation process with management strategy unique to the specific region.

본 연구는 대학 학생 창업생태계의 구성요소를 식별하고, 학생 기업가의 창업 과정에서 나타나는 대학 학생 창업생태계의 구성요소 간 상호작용을 분석했다. 본 논문에서는 서울대학교를 사례로 대학 학생 창업생태계의 조성에 대한 시사점과 제언을 다음과 같이 제공한다. 첫째, 일반적인 창업생태계와는 달리 대학 창업생태계는 대학이 교내외의 다양한 행위자들을 연결하는 네트워크 구축과 조정의 역할을 한다. 둘째, 대학 창업생태계에서 발생하는 학생 창업 과정에서 대학은 학내에 구축된 네트워크를 통해 기업가정신을 교육하며, 학생 창업가는 ‘동문 창업가’라는 동질감을 바탕으로 창업에 이른다는 점이 특징적이다. 셋째, 이러한 대학 학생 창업생태계의 특성을 토대로 생태계 내 창업 조직들을 긴밀하게 연계하여 학생들의 창업 과정을 연쇄적으로 지원하는 시스템이 구축되어야 한다.

Throughout Earth's history, volcanic activity has persisted and continues today in various parts of the world, including plate boundaries, hotspots, and continental interiors. Volcanic activity develops diverse landforms, such as volcanic edifices and lava plateaus, and lava flows can alter surface topography much faster than other geomorphic processes, significantly influencing the landscape. This has made volcanic activity a fascinating research subject for many scholars. As lava flows traverse the Earth's surface, they gradually expend the energy they possessed at the eruption, creating various landforms and surface structures depending on the energy distribution. Examples of diverse landforms shaped by interactions between lava and water or by different parts of lava flows can be observed in locations such as the Fagradalsfjall volcano and Lake Mývatn in Iceland, the Big Island of Hawaii and the McCartys Lava Flow in New Mexico, the north-eastern region in China, the upstream area of Hantan River, and Biyangdo and Hwansang-Gotjawal Sumgol in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in Korea, and the Khorgo volcanic zone in the Tariat Basin of Mongolia. These landforms reflect the interactions between lava flows and the Earth's surface during their activity, serving as key indicators that reveal insights into the surface environment during volcanic activity.

In this paper, we aimed to expand on the work of Kim (2021), who formally introduced biogeomorphology to the field of geography in Korea. Our goal was to deepen the understanding of the academic roots of biogeomorphology and explore future directions for the discipline. To this end, we addressed three specific objectives. First, we discussed the complex nature of physical geography as a multifaceted ‘composite science’. Drawing on Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigms, we reviewed the historical development of physical geography through principles borrowed from the foundational sciences. Second, we identified the scholarly legacies of influential figures in related fields, such as geomorphology, soil science, and ecology, who have impacted the emergence of biogeomorphology. We examined how their major research contributed to the current and future implications for the discipline. Third, we explored the potential for biogeomorphological studies that can be conducted by physical geographers adopting an evolutionary biological perspective. In particular, we proposed three hypotheses for investigating the co- evolutionary feedback mechanisms between organisms and their environment. Ultimately, we emphasized that the value and horizons of physical geography of Korea can be enhanced by embracing and expanding biogeomorphological research.

This study explores the ideational dynamics of the South Korean migration state wit h the framework of ‘three-axes’, thereby expanding the concept of the (liberal) migration state. South Korea has conventionally been regarded as a ‘non-migration state’, known for its reluctant stance to accept less-skilled immigration due to the influences of developmentalism and nationalism. However, this study argues that the interactions among different socioeconomic and political ideologies - such as liberalism, nationalism, and neoliberal developmentalism - have influenced South Korean society, have jointly shaped to the increased immigration of less-skilled migrant workers. This argument is supported by an analysis of various (state) archival documents showing the evolution of the Employment Permit System (EPS) and other policies related to less-skilled immigration. This three axes framework provides a useful and nuanced tool for understanding the dynamics of the South Korean and broader various migration states.

With the development of global information society and digital technology, tourism resources, as the carrier of cultural representation, are liberated from the tangible or intangible static state and presented in a new visual way. The way of local cultural understanding in the process of tourism is changing from directly watching images or objects to completing cultural experience through digital technology. This paper, taking the Xunji Luoshenfu as an example, discusses the role and influence of digitization of resources and immersive performance on cultural tourism from four aspects: multi-dimensional display of cultural connotation, immersive space perception, immersive performance and interactive experience through case study, questionnaire survey and semi-structured in-depth interview. The research found that; first, digital display and immersive performance have certain advantages in multi-dimensional display of local cultural content, immersive space perception, immersive performance and interactive experience. Second, culture reappears through innovative and diversified carriers, and the immersive space is highly integrated with cultural content, forming personalized knowledge output, information feedback and various sharing methods, and completing the flow cycle of ‘content-technology-emotion-cognition-content reconstruction’. Third, through innovative, immersive and entertaining ways, people can understand culture in an ‘immersive’ way, and improve the efficiency, diversity and popularity of local cultural perception.

Korean social science, within the context of East Asian developmentalism, has focused on the role of a strong state in explaining South Korea’s modernization, urbanization, and industrialization. However, the dominant perspective in existing studies has paid little attention to how the resources required for the processes of modernization, urbanization, and industrialization were transformed from nature. The concept of “state-nature”, introduced to the field of geography in Korea twelve years ago, was devised to elucidate how the state institutionally, discursively, and materially produces nature in the form of state-nature. Thus, over the past 12 years, theoretical and case studies on the concept of state-nature have been steadily accumulated in the domestic academic community. This study aims to critically evaluate the accumulated research on state-nature thus far and propose future research directions. The evaluation is divided into three major aspects. First, it surveys the spatiotemporal scope of the research achievements on state-nature. Next, it examines the influence of more-than-human geography on the concept of state-nature. Finally, it discusses misinterpretations of the state in subsequent studies that have adopted or criticized the concept of state-nature and proposes directions for improvement.

The need for systematic disaster risk assessment and management is growing as climate change increases the frequency and magnitude of wind and flood disasters. Existing risk estimation methods are limited by subjective and fragmented approaches that do not fully reflect spatial variability and local characteristics. This study categorizes wind and flood risk into four categories: hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and mitigation, and aims to improve the calculation method for each category. The entropy weighting technique, which allows objective and quantitative evaluation of data characteristics of detailed variables, was applied to calculate the sectoral indicators of wind and flood risk at the municipal level nationwide. K-means classification was also performed to ensure that data characteristics are well reflected in the classification. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the method in this study can minimize subjectivity in the process of selecting weights of detailed variables for each indicator by applying entropy in the process of calculating wind and water disaster risk. The entropy weighting method and K-means classification method proposed in this study can be applied to the risk calculation of various disasters, not only wind and flood damage.
