전통민속놀이를 활용한 공터놀이의 현대화 방안

Abstract

Play is a universal phenomenon and an important act in human life. Since play is a style of life, it is bound to be transformed, extinguished, and reproduced along with the times and historical changes. The disappearance of traditional folk games has many problems. As folk games disappear, various cultural elements such as history, tradition, folklore, and wisdom of folk games are also disappearing. The 'empty areas', which are spaces where traditional folk games used to be played, are also disappearing in value and meaning as the city develops. The modernization of traditional folk games is an alternative to revive the meaning of the disappearing empty areas and recover the value of play. This study is an attempt to restore the disappearance of 'empty areas', a space where traditional folk games were performed, due to urbanization in modern society. To this end, we developed a play card content for vacant lots containing traditional folk games that will be used for festivals in small and medium-sized cities. The modernization of vacant lot games, including play card contents, has several implications. First, the reproducibility of traditional games was confirmed. Second, through the play card content, people were immersed in the game and they could feel the true value of the game. Third, the meaning and true value of the vacant lot could be utilized.
