영문 초록

So many ecovillages are springing up like mushrooms after a rainfall all over the world. Generally, they are oriented to ecocentrism and holism eco-philosophically, and accept bioregionalism as their ideological base, explicitly or implicitly. This study examines bioregionalism. Bioregion is a geographical area whose rough boundaries are determined by non-human, rather than human, forces. Bioregions are distinguished from another by the characteristic flora, fauna, climate, soils, landforms and the human settlements and cultures to which these features give rise. Bioregionalism seeks to repair the torn fabric of life and to re-connect broken relations among people, ecosystem, and place. Bioregionalism is based on Aldo Leopold`s ecocentric and holistic land ethic and attempts to practice it on a bioregion. The bioregionalistic way of life is expected to be best carried on in an ecovillage.
