This paper is concerned with the present state of the construction of Korea Place Name for a study of the history of Korean language and problems awaiting solution in process of construction. This study is to face up the present status of the study on the place name of Chungbu - Kwon based on the result of the research done and to show a desirable approach. I suggest four followings in order to revitalize the research of the place name of Korea. Firstly, through a interdisciplinary consortium the related scholars have to lay ‘professional place name researchers infrastructure’ and form a network of the place name study. Secondly, the government constantly and politically have to support and train ‘professional place name researchers’ and systematically cultivate this kind of human resources. Thirdly, the trained professionals will responsible for the inspection, collection and arrangement of the existed literal materials in the Chungbu - Kwon. Lastly, so as to distribute the materials to the related scholars and the public, not to be buried, we actively should take care of the promotion and strategies. I suggested are research methodology, objectives of the study, and new perspectives on Korean historical linguistics with respect to research materials.
