해양관광 연구 분석을 통한 현상, 이론 및 정책 정합성 탐색:학술지 키워드 메트릭스 분석을 중심으로

Abstract

In marine tourism research, not only research on the phenomenal and theoretical aspects of the components of the tourism system, but also the balance and consistency between 'theory and phenomenon research' and 'policy research' are important to increase the applicability of the research results. In addition, it is also very important to share researchers' perceptions and insights on the essential values and roles of 'theory and phenomenon research' and 'policy research'. This is because when such consensus and insights are preceded, 'marine tourism phenomena' can be systematically identified and practical prescriptions can be provided. In this study, the research stage of marine tourism was divided into three stages as of 2024, and the proportion between 'theory and phenomenon research' and 'policy research' was analyzed at each stage, that is, 'quantitative consistency', and it was found that marine tourism research is changing from 'theory and phenomenon research' to 'policy research', that is, prescriptive research. In future related studies, a follow-up study on the 'qualitative consistency' analysis of marine tourism research will be needed.
