Abstract

This paper is a summary of the relationship between the formation of a new place in Seosan and Choi Chiwon in macro perspective. For this purpose, this study extracts current meaning based on the results of the previous research on Choi Chiwon’s life, thoughts, actions and accomplishments. Then, this study is discussing with method which extracts correlation between the meaning and historical, geographical and cultural characteristics of Seosan linked to the meaning. In addition, various contents and policies developed and operated by Seosan are examined from the viewpoint of relevance to Choi Chiwon, and based on the results, the directions of formation of Seosan’s placeness are suggested. As a results, this paper pay attention to his international, reformative and communal aspects which are current meaning and values of Choi Chiwon. The relics and ruins related to Choi Chiwon have been scattered throughout the country, but the geographical, historical and cultural divisions of Seosan are most closely related to Choi Chiwon. Furthermore, the international, reformative, and communal aspect that Goun showed after returning to Korea is in line with the ‘international tourist city with culture’ and ‘a city that communicates and sympathizes with citizens’ that Seosan wants to aim at. So, Seosan can be the place where ‘the spirit of Goun can live and breathe’ more than any other place. However, in order to form the placeness of Seosan and to develop sustainable historical and cultural tourism resources, the life and ideas of Choi Chiwon must be productively accepted in the present point of view. It is necessary to continuously dissolve in the life of Seosan citizens and the culture they enjoy. The future development direction of content related to Choi Chiwon should also be adjusted to above things. There is a need to build a new placeness in Seosan by actively utilizing the image of Choi Chiwon. Above all, Seosan need to positively preoccupy the image of Choi Chiwon. The reformative spirit of Choi Chiwon should be actively reflected in municipal affairs, and the international aspect of Goun should be actively utilized in the development of logistics and tourism cities and the communal recognition of him must be positively reflected to develop historical and cultural program. If Seosan develops various contents and supports system by linking this characteristic aspect of Goun with the placeness of Seosan, ultimately, Seosan will be expected to become ‘International city, Seosan’, ‘Reformative city, Seosan’, and ‘the city where spirit of Goun is alive and breathe’.
