AB - Namhae Island is the 4th largest island in Korea. Since the island is originally isolated by sea, the unique natural and human environment is relatively well preserved. Because Namhae Island is a large island, it has higher self-sufficiency than other small islands, but it is unfavorable place to settle down because it is mostly mountainous. Namhae Island, which has such regional characteristics, has undergone a lot of changes since the construction of the bridges such as Namhae Bridge and Changseon Bridge. This paper focuses on the regional characteristics of Namhae Island, focusing on the place, the resident’s life and the change with unique landscape characteristics that can be seen only in Namhae Island. Representative sites include the Ji-jok Strait, the Mulgun coastal village foreast, the Angang Bay and Kangjin Bay, the Sangju sand beach, and the Gachon Darangyi village. In order to preserve these unique places and resident’s lives in Namhae Island, local governments and local residents are making efforts in various angles, but their original features are being faded one by one.
