This study aims to investigate the changing aspects about research methodology of stone pagoda from the period of Japanese colonial to now. There were the differences in purpose, method and analysis of the research according to each period. In Japanese colonial period, the purpose of research was to make lists of almost stone pagodas in Korea. Following this, Japanese researchers conducted detailed research for academic purpose. They took measurements of stone pagodas and made drawings. After liberation the research was focused on the relics contained in pagodas. They proceeded to investigate the inner relics in order to attract the attention of the people. In the late 1900's, the repair works of cultural heritages were increased. Many reports of the repair works were released and sent to administration offices. The reports contained the change aspects of situation between before work and after with drawings or simple investigation documents. In the 1990's, the restoration works for important stone pagodas were started by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. Since then, researches from various way - architectural and conservational researches about historical interpretation, shape, structure, proportion, technique, etc. - progressed for careful restoration and accurate study. In Recent years, various professional organizations(in the field of structure, physics, chemistry, biology, lithology, etc.) started to join the researches. Researches conducted studies directly with the stone pagodas, as well as conducting indirect studies with the stone pagodas, such as the structural stability of stone pagodas, the characteristics of rock, and conservation chemicals. Today the research project 'The preservation project of stone cultural property' is being conducted by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. The purpose of this project is to gain more detailed and accurate investigation documents to be provided for the people. In conclusion, researches from various fields must be included in the research. Furthermore, a synthetic study should be done through comparing similar characteristics or different characteristics among many research results.

한국 동굴거미 연구의 기저로서 지금까지의 연구경과의 개요와 조사동굴 및 확인된 동굴거미의 목록을 수록하였다. 1) 한국산 동굴거미에 대한 연구는 1961년 11월에 시작되어 약 20년이 경과한 바, 기간 39편의 논문이 10명의 저자에 의해 발표되었고, 15과 27속 29종이 보고되었으며, 16종의 신종이 기재되었으나 본격적인 조사연구는 이제부터라고 하겠다. 2) 조사된 동굴은 석탄암동굴이 121개, 용암동굴이 33개이며 이들에 대한 정확한 명칭과 소재지를 밝혀두었다. 3) 현재까지의 한국산 동굴거미로 확인된 23과 80속 85종과 독립종이 확실시되어 그 속명만을 수록한 13미확정종의 목록을 밝혔다. 아직 연구 정리되지 못한 Leptonetidae, Nesticidae, Cybaeinae, Erigonidae 중에는 분류학적이나 생태학적면에서 중요한 것들이 많이 남아 있다. 4) 해외 동굴거미와 공통되는 것은 일본산과의 25종 서구산과의 2종이 있으며 이들의 대부분은 외래성의 것이고, 진동굴성의 것은 전혀 없었다.
