This study aims to derive the results of a sample survey method regarding the selection of the “Top 100 Famous Sites,” which is being pursued by the Korean Geomancy Research Society. The scholarly boundaries of geomancy occurrences from prehistoric times have been transmitted from the Bronze Age self-generated geomancy, and the spatial composition, arrangement, and site selection of tombs and buildings located in geomantically significant sites nationwide are expected to play an important role in indicating future geomantic and scholarly directions. While various classics and previous studies have presented contents related to geomancy, most of them have been limited to geomantic discourse. Therefore, it is expected that establishing consensus on the criteria for selecting the Top 100 Famous Sites could enhance the credibility of geomancy studies. To derive research results, the study aims to establish natural scientific and objective criteria for site selection through quantification of plasma analysis using specific equipment. It investigates the spatial composition of tombs and buildings located in expected famous sites nationwide, examines the characteristics of geomantically significant sites, derives criteria for selecting famous sites based on collected data, and verifies their validity. This is expected to enhance the credibility of geomancy studies and contribute to presenting a natural scientific and objective method for selecting famous sites. Moreover, the established criteria are presumed to serve as an important benchmark that could contribute to the development of geomancy and its societal impact.
