The Association of Korean Geographers (AKG) was established on June 18, 2011 for the following purposes:
First, the AKG aims to be a pure and true geographic society with no political purpose.
Second, the AKG seeks to pursue a democratic society where members are not excluded or restricted in participation, and possess a sense of ownership.
Third, the AKG seeks openness, practicality, and popularity so that geography can contribute to various problems in our society.
Fourth, the AKG proposes and implements a new paradigm for diverse and excelling academic demands in the field of geography. In other words, it comprehensively presents various topics in the field of geography, and aims to pursue research and education for the development of world-class geography.
