장소감에 근거한 한국 빛 축제의 해석적 분석 -이푸 투안의 ‘공간과 장소’를 기반으로-

Abstract

(Research and Purpose) The uniform development of a city causes the uniqueness of the city to disappear. Accordingly, in order to preserve the region's unique identity, we have recently attempted to make the region a landmark by providing a unique experience through a light festival using LED lighting and media facades. However, domestic festivals are generally unable to demonstrate a local identity that allows for a unique sense of place. In addition, research on the place identity of light festivals is significantly lacking, and much research is required, especially regarding the formation of a sense of place. This sense of place argument was first put forward by Yi-Fu Tuan, who is considered the founder of humanistic geography. Therefore, this study builds the concept of place identity and analyzes the meaning of each element through an interpretive study on the Korean Light Festival based on sense of place based on the theory of 'Space and Place', a book by Yi-Fu Tuan. For research purposes. (Method) The method of this study is to conduct an interpretive study on the characteristic elements of sense of place in Korean light festivals based on Yi-Fu Tuan's book ‘Space and Place’. To this end, through prior research, the meaning of place identity is identified and physical and emotional elements are derived as forming factors. Based on this, the conceptual meaning of place identity was extracted and based on this, we attempted to understand place identity through interpretive research on a sense of place and placeness targeting the case of the Korean Light Festival. (Results) In order to present a coherent structure of literary research, the place identity of Yi-Fu Tuan's ‘Space and Place’ was first divided into physical elements and emotional elements through analysis of previous research data. In addition, the place identity analysis elements of the light festival based on sense of place were classified into sociality, regionality, symbolism and meaning, historicity, and cultural character, and the concepts were defined. (Conclusion) As a result of this study, it was concluded that the place identity provided by the light festival is important in forming a sense of place through conveying emotional meaning based on the existing place. Furthermore, the standardization of the light festival is avoided. It is meaningful in suggesting that content supplementation is needed to form place identity. Therefore, when a light festival is held in the future, it is expected that design and planning will be carried out taking place identity into consideration based on the sense of place of the area.
