Abstract
Nature-Based Solutions(NbS) are transformative concepts that aim to address social problems in an integrated manner by working with nature, challenging the dichotomous and hierarchical relationship between humans and nature. The purpose of this study is to explore geographical educational applications for climate change and sustainable development education by examining the context, values, and limitations of nature-based solutions. The key conclusions of this study are as follows: First, it is essential to apply solutions that are tailored to the unique geographic processes of a landscape, considering regional differences and scale, even within the same ecosystem. Students can learn how climate change and environmental solutions vary by examining specific examples that reflect these differences. Second, students can analyze everyday landscapes where NbS have been implemented to understand the social and historical contexts and geographic processes associated with these solutions. This enables a deeper understanding of community efforts and strategies to address climate change. Third, spatial visualization activities for evaluating nature-based solution projects or narrative-based lessons involving diverse stakeholders surrounding nature-based solutions can help students develop the ability to think critically from the perspective of spatial justice.

자연기반해법은 ‘자연’과 협력하여 사회적 문제를 통합적으로 해결하려는 변혁적 개념으로, 인간과 자연 간의 이분법적이고 종속적인 관계를 극복하려는 의도를 담고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 자연기반해법의 맥락, 가치, 그리고 한계를 검토함으로써 기후변화 및 지속가능발전 교육을 위한 지리 교육적 활용 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자연기반해법은 동일한 생태계라 하더라도 지역 간의 차이와 스케일을 고려하여 해당 경관의 독특한 지리적 프로세스에 적합한 해결책을 적용하는 것이 중요하다. 학생들은 이러한 차이와 스케일에 따른 해결책의 변화를 구체적인 사례를 통해 학습할 수 있다. 둘째, 학생들은 자연기반해법이 적용된 일상적 경관을 분석함으로써 해당 경관에 내재한 사회적·역사적 맥락과 지리적 프로세스를 파악할 수 있다. 이를 통해 지역사회가 기후변화에 대응하기 위해 수행하는 노력과 해결 방안에 대한 깊이 있는 이해가 가능하다. 셋째, 자연기반해법 프로젝트를 평가하기 위한 공간적 시각화 활동이나, 자연기반해법을 둘러싼 다양한 이해 당사자의 내러티브를 활용한 수업은 학생들이 공간 정의 관점에서 이를 비판적으로 생각하는 능력을 길러줄 수 있다.
