Abstract
This study aims to summarize the history and contents of academic discussions on the naming of the East Sea, evaluate their achievements, and propose topics that require further research in light of new changes in the environment of toponymic uses. One of the greatest achievements of academic discussions over the past 30 years is to have the international community recognize the disputes of the East Sea naming and the need to resolve them, with the development of discourses of universal human values such as social justice, peace, and human rights. As a realistic solution, discussions were conducted on the feasibility and benefits of the use of the two names together. As changes in the environment of toponymic uses, this study took specific note on the advancement of the potential of digital technology to contribute to resolving dispute names, the trend of respecting cultural values and demanding social changes, the emergence of the influential MZ generation, and the increased interest in the global environmental changes. The direction of future research is summarized as elements of sustainable geographical naming that can be accepted by all generations.

이 연구는 동해 표기에 관한 학술 논의의 역사와 내용을 정리하여 평가하고, 새로운 지명 사용의 환경 변화에 비추어 향후 연구가 필요한 주제를 제안하는 목적을 갖는다. 지난 30년의 학술 논의가 가져온 가장 큰 성과는 동해 표기 분쟁을 국제사회에 인식시키고 분쟁의 해결이 필요함을 사회정의, 평화, 인권 등 인류 보편가치의 담론으로 발전시킨 것이라 할 수 있다. 현실적 해법으로서 두 이름을 함께 쓰는 방법의 가능성과 혜택에 대한 논의가 진행되었다. 새로운 환경의 변화로서 디지털 기술의 발전이 분쟁지명 해결에 기여할 잠재력 증진, 문화적 가치 존중과 사회변화에 대한 요구, 영향력 있는 MZ세대의 등장, 지구적 환경에 대한 관심사 증가 등에 주목하였고, 각 변화의 단면을 고려하는 연구 주제가 제안되었다. 향후 연구의 지향점은 모든 세대가 수용할 수 있는 지속가능한 지명 사용의 요소로 정리된다.
