The purpose of this study is to develop the subjects and contents of the elementary Korean geography unit to be applied to the new curriculum. I assume that the location and the regional learning have weakened as the regional geography learning has disappeared in the elementary geography curriculum. New Korean geography unit includes regional geography unit that, unlike the former regional geography unit, integrates systematic geographical learning contents with regional geographical learning contents so as to increase the possibility of knowledge transfer. Therefore this study suggest `a region defined and connected by river basin` as a region for instruction, then develop the subjects and contents on “Korean Geography Traveling along Han River” as an example of Han River basin, which can cover various natural environments and human environments including the metropolitan area and the military demarcation line.
