ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was for university students to participate in their community and to provide useful services for the local residents. Furthermore, this research examined whether the completion of this project contributed to enhancing students' understandings of geographic concepts and the capability to use geospatial technologies. The participants developed a digital trail of Gwanak Mountain. In developing the trail, concepts regarding geotourism, geomorphology, and community participation were incorporated, and geosptatial technologies, such as GIS, GPS, and Google Earth, were used. As a result, a digital output containing components, such as photographs, animations, and explanations following the trail, an environmental game, and the difficulty of the route, was produced. The participants increased their confidence in understanding geographic concepts related to the project and developed their ability to use geospatial technologies. The persons concerned in the community responded positively to the project.
