This study aims to suggest the instruction of space, place and environment according to the content knowledge in the regional instruction. Conceptual examination about space, region and environment indicates that whereas space can be conceptually explained, in order to grasp the characteristics of region and space, landscape cannot be understood apart from them. Environment is a matter of values, which currently are oriented towards changes from the anthropocentric world to ecohumanism ethics. On the basis of reconceptualization of space, region and environment, regional instruction encompasses both space instruction and place instruction which can be applied step by step. Space instruction is centered around concept inquiry that can explain the pattern and process of themes in connection with the location and relationship. Place instruction adopts a problem-solving approach that can help understand the landscape and identity of themes in connection with relationship and life style. Eco-humanism ethics is essential in environment instruction, in which learners can make a judgment on the changes and development of themes related to life style and issues.
