Korean rural landscapes have been influenced by major events in modern Korean history, and have undergone many sociocultural and lifestyle changes. This study examines the characteristics of stone signposts, which physically represent the landscape entrance to Korean rural villages, and provide comprehensive information for the sustainable management of rural landscape elements having heritage value. We conducted field surveys and interviews in 313 rural villages in Korea and cross-tabulated the collected data with five question items. We designed one descriptive variable for the cause, set four question items for dependent variables, and analyzed the relationship among the variables. This study reveals that the installation times of stone signposts are related to the major issues of modern Korean history, and discusses how the signposts evolved into rural landscape elements. In addition, the study reveals that stone signposts can be considered a tactic designed to preserve regional identities in modern society and improve the quality of rural village landscapes. Over time, due to the complex long-term interactions that occurred between the landscape and the sociocultural environment of such regions, stone signposts evolved into elements of cultural heritage and representations of regional knowledge and history. Therefore, in order to improve Korean rural landscapes, their value must be assessed and managed independently based on historical, regional, and landscape considerations.

Urban parks and green spaces support a wide array of species and play an important role in long-term sustainability. This study analyzed the needs and attitudes of citizens towards urban parks and green spaces in order to provide information for setting the future direction of urban sustainability to maximize quality of life. A questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the general characteristics of respondents and their awareness of parks and spaces. First, the results indicate that the main purpose of visiting parks was relaxation and walking. Second, the type of parks visited most frequently by the respondents was pocket parks around home. Third, the main reason for going to the frequently visited parks was “close to home”. Fourth, the major reason for visiting parks infrequently was “improper park management”. Fifth, the desired types of urban parks were relaxation parks close to natural rivers. Sixth, citizens wanted to participate in the expansion projects of parks and green spaces through non-profit civic organizations or volunteer activities. Further research with a comparative analysis among different cities will be necessary to generalize Korean attitudes to urban parks and green spaces for urban sustainability.

In South Korea, woodlands are considered to be the most important biotope type for biodiversity conservation. However, they are suffering loss and degradation under strong pressure from urbanisation and agricultural expansion. In this paper, we assessed to what extent the overall decrease in woodland area in the Kwangju City region, South Korea, over a period of 26 years has modified the spatial characteristics of the woodlands at the landscape level. Four landscape types in the Kwangju City region were analysed based on aerial photographs from 1976, 1983, 1994 and 2002. Three landscape ecological metrics were used to monitor the change of ecological woodland conditions. The results indicated that woodland patches have remained very dynamic features over the past 26 years in the case study region. Scattered residential developments and roads were the main causes of woodland loss and fragmentation in the urban and urban fringe landscapes, while the expansion of agricultural activities reduced the average size of woodland patches in the agricultural landscape. The results indicated that the mountain landscape has the greatest value for biodiversity conservation in Kwangju. However, in recent times, woodlands have come under pressure in this landscape type due to the development of tourist infrastructure. This information was used to identify the potential and specific needs for landscape planning in a rapidly developing urban region in South Korea.

The demand for idyllic housing has been rapidly spreading from the national capital regions to suburban areas of large metropolitan cities in South Korea. This trend could be seen as a demand for more environmentally friendly residences. This research explores the general characteristics of idyllic housing residents, reasons for moving to idyllic housing sites, general attitudes to the surrounding landscape of residential areas and landscape memory, residents' satisfaction with the landscape and their attitudes to the ecological environment. The main reason for the dissatisfaction with idyllic living was the lack of facilities caused by the Farmland Act. A new law for the development control of idyllic housing sites is needed or the existing law needs to be tightened to address this problem. The research presented here is a first step towards a more comprehensive analysis of idyllic Korean housing and further research is needed.
