Abstract
This study extends the notion of traditional ecological knowledge, that has mainly been studied in ecology, to the tourism context and examines this knowledge and its application in relation to eco-tourism development in the Ju-Me community in Changnyeong-Gun through semi-structured interviews with residents. The study findings highlight applying traditional ecological knowledge to community-based ecotourism as a critical tool for maintaining this knowledge as well as sustainable resource use in the community. This study also finds that practices and strategies for resource use and the philosophy, or world-view, of residents that constructs general characteristics of traditional ecological knowledge are inextricably linked and interrelated.
