| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was construct a framework to act as a theoretical backbone, through which geography could be applied to the real world through contributing to the creation of local cultural resources by giving a living cultural value to biological resources.
In this study I focused on the way in which living things were utilized as local resources from the perspective of human geographical environmental theory. I offered a methodological framework that integrates social, economic, cultural and biological factors, enabling applied research that connects the cultural characteristics of living things with the local environment. I focused on three products of the utilization of living things as local resources: 1.The preservation of the surrounding environment; 2.The generation of cultural resources; 3. The diffusion of cultural values; and by integrating case study data with a literature review, I aimed to present a systemization of practical geography.
