여가문화와 농촌문화관광의 민속학적 고찰

Abstract

In contemporary society traditional culture is closely linked with cultural tourism as well as leisure culture. Cultural tourism based on traditional culture is probably an important resource for leisure culture. In addition, folk culture usually reflects people's living customs and daily practices, therefore folkloric contents in cultural tourism are surely to rise in interest for leisure culture today. In this respect, this paper looks into the relationship between leisure culture and possible resources for folk cultural tourism, particularly some possibilities found in agricultural villages. A variety of perspectives on cultural tourism in traditional agricultural villages are given, such as ecological environment, traditional living culture and sustainable resources for cultural tourism. From these arguments some possible resources for folk cultural tourism as a possible newly emerging leisure culture today are derived. As I have presented, in the case of the Chahang village in the Pyongchang county, the regional tradition as well as every day living culture are good examples for cultural touristic resources. Also not only ecological environment but also occupational environment in agricultural villages have to be considered to be developed as sustainable cultural touristic resources.
