Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the pedagogical effects of a community participation project in which participants recognize local problems based on emotional geographies, create their own spatial stories using spatial analysis and emotional mapping, and propose spatial strategies. The participants formed a group and selected community-related research topics from the perspective of emotional geographies and created spatial stories in the form of posters including Google Earth mash-up, heat map, and policy suggestions. To examine the pedagogical effects of the research project, a questionnaire regarding project experiences, reflective journals, and world clouds were analyzed. First, in the experience questionnaire, the participants evaluated the educational implications of the project and the pedagogical potential of emotional geographies positively. Second, through thematic analysis of participants’ reflections, the research extracted the following themes: understanding the implications and possibilities of emotional geographies, examining the effects and meaning of emotional mapping, contemplating the nature of data processing and spatial analysis, and suggesting strategies for improving the project. Word cloud visualization also supported the effectiveness of the project. This research was a creative attempt in which emotional geographies, geospatial technologies, and community participation were combined. This study merits inclusion in the literature in that it introduces the notion of emotional geographies into Korean geography education and provides insights into and basis for follow-up research.

이 연구의 목적은 감정지리학 관점을 통해 지역사회의 문제를 인지하고, 공간분석 및 감정지도화를 기반으로 자신만의 공간 이야기를 만들며, 공간 전략을 제안하는 프로젝트 활동의 교육적 효과를 분석하는 것이다. 연구 참여자들은 모둠을 이루어 감정지리학 시각에서 지역사회 관련 주제를 선정하고, 구글어스 매쉬업, 히트맵, 정책적 제안 등을 포함한 포스터를 활용해 공간 이야기를 생성하였다. 본 연구 프로젝트의 교육적 효과를 살펴보기 위해 감정지리학 프로젝트 경험 설문 분석, 반성적 성찰문의 주요 주제 추출, 워드 클라우드 시각화 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 프로젝트 경험 설문에서 참여자들은 활동의 교육적 함의와 감정지리학의 교육적 가능성을 긍정적으로 평가하였다. 둘째, 참여자들의 반성적 성찰문 주제분석을 통해 감정지리학의 의의와 가능성 이해, 감정지도화의 효과와 의미 탐색, 데이터 가공 및 공간분석의 본질에 대한 고민, 프로젝트 개선 방안을 주요한 테마로 추출하였다. 마지막으로, 워드 클라우드를 통해 참여자들이 반성적 성찰문에서 자주 활용한 용어를 분석하고 주제분석의 테마와 일맥상통하는 내용을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 감정지리학, 지리공간 테크놀로지를 활용한 감정의 시각화, 지역사회 참여 등을 결합한 교육 프로젝트로 지리교육에 감정지리학 논의를 도입하고 구체적인 활동을 진행한 시도로 후속 연구를 위한 기반을 제공한다.
