This study explores the strategies for documenting extinct places by clarifying the concepts of place and sense of place and highlighting the importance of place documentation. The disappearance of a place signifies the loss of a medium that evokes memory. Place documentation, a process of recording the sense of place, can restore memory media, resolve the lack of shared memories, and strengthen community identity. It also provides archiving methods and tools to involve stakeholders as record producers to enrich the context further. Thus, the study proposes key strategies, including resident participation, communication of place identity through archives, and cultural-artistic integration projects. The Jeungpyeong Archives' "Maryknoll Clinic" project serves as a case study based on these strategies to illustrate how place documentation is implemented.

Hannam-dong, which lies at the eastern part of Yongsan-gu in metropolitan Seoul has been known as one of the affluent area, but actually it is divided into different sub-areas including poor ones. Although it used to be a quiet residential neighborhood, be they rich or poor, some streets (gil) have become the places of creative economy since the late 2000s. The place-making of Hannam-dong is accompanied by taking-place of different creative classes in different sub-areas, and there have emerged contestation, negotiation and clash among them at the contact zone. While the big companies such as Samsung explores their own version of cultural/creative entrepreneurialism in one sub-area, the actors that can be dubbed as 'creative small producer' and/or 'creative underlass' produce Hangangjin-gil and Usadan-gil as artistic-cum-economic communities by deploying cultural capital. All in all, Hannam-dong is an interesting case that different types of gentrifications are produced by different actors in different sub-areas, which results in producing another kind of 'community of strangers' where different (creative) classes share a physical location, but do not have lasting social interactions and communicative networks.

The history of modernization of Korea is divided into two folds of the colonial era in the 20's and the economic development era in the 60's. Most of the spaces built in the process of modernization were public spaces developed by the drive of the government. These spaces of modernization are functionality-oriented public places of production and at the same time, and they are the spaces of national power to symbolize the identity of national authorities. Along with changes in the society, modern spaces were reduced down to monument buildings without functionality and this requires new definition to renew the identity of modern spaces. Small stations, power plants, mines, warehouses, abandoned factories, and etc... the study has paid attention to the process of changing thought, one of the main characteristics of modernization, the relations of modern concepts projected in the spaces, framework of modern society, and placeness in the process of framework building and relations of people in the spaces with video records on the process of rebuilding new identity of modern spaces and memories of the spaces. The relations of modern spaces and memory were explored in < Seoul Station > while the relations between modern spaces and records and place identity were explored in < Onyang Folk Museum > and < Okpo Shipyard > respectively. In the relations between space identity and memory in each space, the ironic relations of power in modern spaces (placeness) and personal narrative (memories) were explored with oral narrative and video footage.

This study is carried out as a precedent work for the implementation of an Open Access Initiative(OAI) compatible with Korean libraries. Institutional Repository is a new concept for collecting, managing, disseminating, and preserving scholarly works created in digital form by faculty and researchers in individual organizations according to open access paradigm. This study briefly outlines the need for Institutional Repository, their role, constitutional elements, benefits and drawbacks. This is followed by recent case studies of SHEPRA, Dspace, eDoc Server and dCollection. The conceptual model of Institutional Repository was suggested and the key considerations to be taken into account for the successful implementation of Institutional Repository at the beginning stage were proposed from a stakeholder's perspective.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between service quality, Place attachment and destination loyalty in the local festival field. Sampling was conducted at the Flower Blossom Festival in Juju, 2004. Data were collected through on-site surveys by face-to-face interview for three days-between April 4th and April 6th. Data analyses were carried out by using structural equation model. Two hypotheses were tested to represent the relationships between exogenous and endogenous variables. The exogenous variable selected for this study is service quality Endogenous variables are place attachment and destination loyalty. The findings provided a supported structural model of the relationships between service quality, place attachment and loyalty. Festival visitors who perceive high service quality tend to have high place attachment that leads to the intention to revisit and positive word-of-mouth to others. The results of this study suggest that festival managers need to understand visitors' perception of service quality, place attachment in order to better predict their destination loyalty.

Seokchon Lake, and the area surrounding it, have become symbolic with an environment of 'peace', 'delight', 'happiness', and 'healing' due to the large floating yellow rubber duck which sits within the lake. There exists, however, a hidden intention of a large corporation who wishes to make benefit of this installation and its healing properties. Nevertheless, the lake has become a hot destination for people to come and see the rubber duck and take romantic photos with it. The photographs taken and shared further expand the popularity and romantic environment of the duck and lake. This process is a perfectly hermeneutic circle. Self or group mediation through photographic performances with the rubber duck has allowed the lake to take on new meaning to visitors. For families taking photos together it has become a place of family bonding and love while for couples of any age it has been transformed into a place to express their love through pictures together with the duck. Even for selfie generation it has become a destination and muse. Tourists are not merely written upon, but are also enacting and inscribing places with their own stories. Therefore, photographic performances produce rather than consume and reflect geography of Seokchon lake.

Transition from mass tourism to post tourism is closely related with developing various types of cultural tourism. This study attempts to construct a conceptual framework of the development of cultural tourism through identifying the existing development stages of cultural tourism sites from birth to full development. This study clarifies that there exists an organic system among tourism, cultural activities and the production of cultural artifacts. It also found that development of cultural tourism sites goes through the following three stages: positioning and building place image, hard branding, and constructing local system. This study analyzes several key elements for respective of stages, which proved helpful in understanding the development mechanism of cultural tourism sites. It also tries to analyze tourism from an integrated, geographical perspective. The analysis gives us an understanding to the relations between tourism and various aspects of regional society and economy, thus contributing to the development of a system that will lead to active interchanges among those factors. Most of the theoretical background of this study: place identity, place image, activity space, local system and network are based on the concepts and ideas of human geography.

This paper is an attempt to explore semiotic representations of subway space as the urban machine space of local mobility in terms of space, time and place. For this, the second section of the paper reviews the contours of the urban space of mobility in terms of 'machine space', 'non-place' and 'cognitive map'. The third section interprets the sings of 'spatial' and 'temporal' representations of subway space in Daegu, and suggests the implications of the semiotic representations. It is uncovered that various sign-scapes which coexist in the subway space in coordinated or contradictory ways product the space into multiple and complex techno-social spaces. That is, the spatio-temporal representations of the subway space form the space of 'non-place' on the one hand and the space of 'place' on the other hand, and involve the spatialization of 'memory' on the one hand and the spatialization of 'forgetting' on the other hand. Thus, the subway space should be regarded to be not only the space of 'mobility' which people move in and through, but also the space of 'identity' which has effects on the ways for them to see the machine space and its urban space.
