개항장 인천 공업의 발전사를 활용한 인천관광 연구

Abstract

This study analyzed the influence of Incheon in almost all fields in Korean modern history. In particular, the history of industrial development was analyzed and Incheon tourism contents using this were presented. Until the Joseon Dynasty, Incheon was a small fishing village. With the opening of the port in 1883, it has grown into a modern city. The reason Incheon was able to grow into a modern city after its opening was due to Incheon's geopolitical reasons. Japan exploited such conditions to develop Incheon with impure policy intentions. By developing ports and factories, it was used as an efficient space for colonial rule. Therefore, Incheon, the open port, has grown into an industrial city as well as a port city during the colonial era. Therefore, the way the city of Incheon can contribute to the development of the Korean tourism industry is to continuously discover and develop contents of 'Incheon tourism' that preserves the Korean modern appearance as it is. In particular, it is the most important point to discover as the core contents of Incheon's tourism from the viewpoint of being the main channel that shows how Incheon's industry is internalizing the problems of modern times. In discussing Korean tourism, most of the researchers paid much attention to Incheon among tourism contents in the early 20th century. This is because, along with Seoul, Busan, Suwon, Gyeongju, Jeonju, Gwangju, Gunsan, Mokpo, Gongju/Buyeo, Daegu, Gumi, Ulsan/Pohang, etc., there are more materials for ‘tourism storytelling’ than any other city in Korea. However, the researchers only discussed Incheon tourism as a connecting passage or contents related to the remnants of Japan rather than the open port Incheon itself. In the end, the problem of the urban space of Incheon and the lives of the people living there could not be taken as the subject of tourism research. Therefore, this study analyzed and derived what contents Incheon tourism should pursue through the history of industrial development in Incheon. As a result of the study, it was suggested that the industrial folk culture of Incheon, the source of life created by the industrial history of Incheon, should be turned into tourism storytelling content. Specifically, first, Incheon food culture tourism storytelling content using flour-based foods, second, Incheon tourism storytelling content centering on Jung-gu and Dong-gu military industry belt, and lastly, Incheon's cultural tourism storytelling content pertaining to Incheon's Industrial Heritage suggested a logical plan of action.
