문화경관 속성과 생태계 원리를 적용한 '둠벙' 기반 생태교육 프로그램 개발 = Development of a Dumbeong-Based Ecological Education Program Applying Cultural Landscape Attributes and Ecosystem Principles

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to develop an ecological education program based on Dumbeong, a traditional agricultural irrigation facility and regional eco cultural resource, grounded in cultural landscape attributes and Capra’s (1996) ecosystem principles. The study site focused on the Dumbeong systems distributed across the coastal plains of Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, which represent a distinctive eco-cultural landscape designated as both a National Agricultural Heritage and a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS). This study integratively connected the core attributes of cultural landscapes (historicity, aesthetics, connectivity, identity, and sustainability) with Capra’s (1996) ecological principles (networks, cycles, flows, development, diversity, interdependence, dynamic balance, and recurring systems). The program comprises five activities. First, “Creating an Eco-cultural Chronicle of Dumbeong” enables learners to explore the history and developmental processes of Dumbeong through oral histories, old maps, and photographs. Second, “Ecological Aesthetic Insight through Sensory Expansion” encourages participants to experience the Dumbeong landscape sensorially and expand their aesthetic appreciation through ecological drawing and poetry writing. Third, “Ecology of Relationships” helps learners understand the concepts of networks and interdependence by visualizing the interactions among water, living organisms, agriculture, and humans as relational systems. Fourth, “Sustainable Eco-cultural Practice” allows participants to experience the principles of cycles and flows through mini-Dumbeong creation and ecological observations. Fifth, “Restoration of Eco-cultural Identity” reinterprets disappearing Dumbeongs as eco-cultural places, fostering an awareness of regional identity and ecological values.
