Abstract
This investigation created and structured, by individual interviews and detailed narrative sessions, concepts to explain one individual's "original-scape." The participant, a 41 year-old male living on the South Korean island of Cheju, had developed a relationship to the level of relaxed interaction with the researcher. Analysis of the narrative sessions, by dictation and observation, revealed 3 classes of narratives landscape, event and evaluative. In addition, 5 different types of narration- (1) scenic-recollection, (2) action-description, (3) explanation-persuasion, (4) factexplanation and (5) evaluation-attribution-were used during interview sessions. The structure of the man's original-scape consisted of the interaction of the 5 narration types with the 3 classes of narratives. Although the content of the narratives differed, certain characteristics remained constant across narratives. The past experiences and pass surrounding landscapes of the participant were linked to his present self-evaluation and formation of place attachment.
