This study is a series of studies on a person who thinks while walking, that is, a 'walker' who can be called 'Homo Flaneur'. Research on 'street walkers' has been actively explored, focusing on Walter Benjamin's theory of street walkers in Paris, a large city in the 19th century, based on Baudelaire's poetic motif. The subject of this study, named 'Walker of Eco-Affinity', was developed by extending the theory of 'city walker', which was specialized as an physiognomy methodology of urban space by Benjamin, to natural spaces outside of urban civilization. It was carried out through research on the concept of 'Walker of Eco-Affinity' and 'Dwelling in Eco-Affinity'. This study, from a different perspective from previous studies, critically analyzes the nature of the task of modern environmental aesthetics, which was born as an environmental shift in aesthetics in the mid-20th century, and the direction of discourse toward positivity, and focuses on Adorno's theory of natural beauty. Thus, it is intended to establish negative dialectical environmental aesthetics. In addition, it aims to present an educational practice direction for Walker of Eco-Affinity on the theoretical basis of a new direction of environmental aesthetics.
