Abstract
Universities have a tradition to contribute to community by providing services along with teaching and research. Service-learning has begun to promote effective learning while giving helping hands to local problems. Recently, service-learning has evolved to emphasize critical approach and place-based community engagement for sustainable collaborative partnership between university and community. Geography is good discipline to work with community engagement through mapping and fieldwork which are essential part of the curriculum. Fieldwork is important to explore the phenomena learn from classroom in real world, but community engagement with local survey and mapping, and action research leads to the development of community geography. Introduced are local and international fieldwork attempts by Jeju National University. A fieldwork focuses on a local problem with population decline; students participate in-depth local interview survey, and put the gathered information into completing a research paper. University international volunteering usually includes teaching classes in developing countries, but efforts to understand locales including data gathering, survey and questionnaire enhance critical over compassionate approach and community engaged activities.

대학은 교육과 연구에 기반한 봉사를 통해 지역사회의 다양한 문제해결에 참여하는 전통을 가지고 있다. 지역사회와 연계한 서비스-러닝은 학습 효과를 높이기 위해 지역사회 봉사를 더하는 활동으로 시작되어 최근에는 비판적 안목과 장소 기반 참여를 통해 지속적인 대학과 지역사회의 협력 관계를 강조한다. 지리학과 지리교육은 지도 제작과 현장 답사를 중요한 학습 활동으로 포함하는 지역사회 협력에 적합한 전공이다. 지리답사는 교실수업에서 학습한 내용을 현장에서 확인하는 차원을 넘어 지역 조사와 지도제작을 포함한 현장 연구의 지역사회 협력을 강조하는 지역사회 지리를 발전시키고 있다. 제주대학교의 사례는 지리답사를 지역 문제에 초점을 맞추어 학생들이 현장 조사 활동을 중심으로 전개하고 보고서 완성까지를 목표로 진행했다. 해외봉사활동은 보편적인 봉사활동뿐만 아니라 개발도상국의 지역 이해를 높이기 위해 주민과 라포를 형성하며, 공공 자료를 얻고, 현지 그리고 참가 학생 대상 설문 조사를 실시하며, 봉사활동을 자선적 접근에서 정의적 안목으로 발전시키는 참여적 지역사회 협력의 기초 활동으로 변화시켜보고자 했다.
