There are many geographical designations in novel. Information of Geographical designation can be used in many fields like literature research, culture content studies, and literary geography. But for the present, the efforts to widely use of it are definitely lacking. Place and space in literary works have been studied scatteredly and personally.

This study attempted to define information of geographical designation and to find out the basic conceptual structure of ‘The Database of Geographical Designation in Korean Novel’ (DGDN). The term 'Infor mation of geographical designation' refers to not only place name but descriptive information related to place name. Place names in novel, like those in the physical world, have diverse properties; Administrative place name, Natural place name, Facilities name, Remains name, Foreign place name, the others.
