Geotourism about Yang-Gu

In these days, as the environment becomes more important thing, the world is paying attention to it. So the tourism is inclined to geotourism. In Korea, there are many places that take care of the natural environment. Picking one of them, I chose Yang-Gu which is located in Gangwondo. There are two most important effects of geotourism. First, it does not ruin the nature. Second, it can develop the community. The possible effects of geotourism in Yang-Gu include the nature that can be preserved and the good influence on that society.

 

           One possible effect of geotourism in Yang-Gu is that we can keep the nature as it is. To be more specific, as Yang-Gu is full of beautiful scenery, people don’t have to create some artificial place or thing. For example, there is DMZ Wildlife Eco Center which displays the DMZ place where people cannot reach. So without going into that DMZ place, people can know about the life of wild animals.

 

           Another possible effect of geotourism in Yang-Gu is the enhancement of society. In consideration of food, Yang-Gu can promote its local specialty such as dried radish greens. Actually, there is the festival opened in May annually. It can advance not only society but also tourism like Dutayeon Valley. It is placed on the way to Geumgangsan, and also the program ‘1 night and 2 days’ took film at this place. So it made that place more popular.

 

         There is a saying “Killing two birds with one stone.” Like this, Yang-Gu has good influence towards the nature and community. it means that by tourism, the city or town can earn money and advertise its place.

<The Urban Visionary>

In these days, lots of countries became urbanization. Urbanization means that majority of people live in city. And that city is called as megacity. The urban planner Richard Wurman was curious about why people live in city intensively. So he investigated many cities and founded a project called 19.20.21. This project contain meanings that on 19 cities that are regarded as being more than 20 million people in 21st century. He did not just focus on one city but many other cities, because it is important to look at the relationship between cities. For example, he looked at Paris which is very fascinating city to all over the world. Like this, he investigated other ten largest countries too. Then he figured out whether the city can prosper everlastingly. The answer is no. because the idea that seems perfect is just for that moment. Furthermore, he searched the cities that are ruined because of architects, such as Bilbao. But even though it does not look entirely wonderful, it may help improve the fabric of the city.

Let me introduce myself.

Hello, my name is SOO JIN PARK and my major is English literature. It is nice to meet all of you. Actually, I am 22 years old because I used to attend another university before here. But I don’t want you to feel difficult at getting closer. My favorite hobby is watching movies. Through watching movies, it makes me think a lot and put myself in another’s place. The genre I like the most is the drama and the one that I hate most is the horror. After watching movies, I enjoy writing reviews about the movies. As I like seeing and watching, I am working at the school newspaper. As a result, I have a dream which is being a journalist. Because I am fond of meeting various people and talking with them, I consider that I can be a good journalist. To talk more, I can make people reveal their concerns, which mean I might form the comfortable atmosphere. Also, I fancy writing thoughts so that it will help me improve my writing ability. The reason I take this class is to advance my English ability. In addition, by speaking English with professor and students, I hope that I can express myself in good English without stammering. Furthermore, when it comes to the end of this class, I desire to get familiar with all of the classmates. Once again, it is a pleasure to meet all of you.
