Abstract
Along with technological development and change of perception, the form of advanced game space appears in various ways. And some game spaces have gradually gotten factors of placeness and become a place. The main purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of game space from a place-based perspective. For this, the generations are divided into four sections based upon the factors of placeness. At the first generation, there are no elements of placeness. But as time goes by, elements of placeness have been increased gradually. Finally, in the fourth generation, various elements of placeness are found in some game spaces. This study offer insight into game space in a diachronic viewpoint and humanistic approach.
