장소의 개념 변화에 따른 장소정체성에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) In general, it is perceived that the definition of place has been well established as the perception that place is where people reside. In the context of the Corona era and entered the Post-Corona era in particular, the concept of space and place is expanding, and the conceptual scope of place identity relation to space is also changing in a variety of way. Digital transformation and the development of AI further are accelerating this phenomenon. The concepts of space and place have expanded in meaning. The purpose of this study is to examine the expansion of place identity in conceptual terms as new spaces and places emerge and change time. (Method) Firstly, a review and conceptual extension changes in the concepts of space and place. Secondly, new research was conducted on the concepts of space and place, including traditional definitions and the importance of human-centered experience. The research also explored changes in the subject, loss of place, and non-place. Thirdly, a study of the loss, restoration and expansion of place identity in new communities through digital transformation, which compares and reinterprets the concept of place in light of technological change. (Results) As the focus of a location shifts towards humans, it becomes apparent that it consists of two components: the place itself, which defines the location's identity, and the sense of place, which represents the human's identity in relation to the location. The concept of practical space theory has evolved due to scientific and social developments. As a result of technological and social changes, the concepts of place loss and non-place emerged. Loss of place and its characteristics were derived through examples of digital content and space. The case of the metaverse represents a selective and fluid identity through the concept of non-place, and identity recovery is achieved. A representative example of the anthropological concept of place, focused on human experience, is the digital twin. This concept recovers and expands identity through ripple effects that are reflected in a realistic virtual environment throughout the life cycle. (Conclusions) The concept of place has undergone significant changes, from the traditional notion of space to the anthropological construct of non-place. Examining the changes in the traditional concept of place, the loss of place, and the concept of non-place, and compare the characteristics of each place. This analysis reveals that there has been the loss, recovery, and expansion of place identity. It is expected that empathy and interaction at a cognitive level due to the acceleration of technology due to digital transformation and changes in human-centered subjects will continue to maintain and evolve the recovery and expansion of place identity in new spaces and places.
