2020 ACLA-APELA Online Lecture Series

WHY


Because of the global issue of climate change and its consequences, the Earth needs more ecological landscape management, which has the effect of reducing global warming. These include the arrangement of public spaces that reduce the use of fossil fuels, public spaces that provide additional oxygen supply, and support the hydrological cycle.


The ACLA and APELA Forum together promote the maintenance of cultural landscapes and the arrangement of eco-friendly landscapes, primarily in the Asia Pacific and also in rest parts of the Earth.


Cultural landscapes, the creative products of people that uphold the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, are one of the sustainable answers to the problem of environmental degradation on the Earth. There are plenty of evidences that the cultural landscape in Asia can last for thousands of years; one such example is the Korean landscape garden, Nujeongwon.


We need to promote mass awakening, conserve, preserve and revitalize the cultural landscape in continuous and sustainable way. We are trying to observe, project and call attention to Asian cultural landscapes from Asian's point of view, of course at Global level.

THE ACLA HISTORY

THE SPIRIT OF ACLA   Since he was a child, Sung-Kyun Kim had paid lots of attention to the natural environment and Korean traditional culture in his homeland, in Korea. Sung was born in the city of Mungyeong-si, three years after the end of the Korean war.   The history which divided the country on the Korean peninsula into two, North Korea and South Korea. Sung's hometown is approximately 200 km from Seoul City by bus, and 153 km by train. Its location is southeast of the capital. Sung-Kyun Kim experienced the period when the Korean population was experiencing food difficulties.

His father, a teacher and school principal, once said, "Sung, study hard, so you can improve our country, we inherit nature and culture from our ancestors, which are very beautiful and good for building the quality of human life." Sung was a go...

Winding River Village by Kim, Sung-Kyun

  As what Prof. Kim, Sung-Kyun said in opening of his conclusion of this book:   “The purpose of my study has been the interpretations of variety and distinct landscapes with reference the meanings inherently imbedded, culturally perceived, traditionally exposed, spatial manifested and also poetically symbolized. This is not a problem with a solution or a final proof. There are no conclusions nor do the meanings add up to any single conclusion. Of course, it would be in vain, and maybe wrong-headed, to present and summarize all the different meanings of Hahoe landscapes that I found. Studying the meanings of landscapes involves refining and constantly expanding one’s understanding. The meaning of the landscape of Hahoe is still open to all of us and also to the resident villagers to interpret and re-interpret. Nevertheless, we need further refinements to understand their landscapes. Let me end their stories of the landscapes at this destination. I have been “There” and now I a...
