  • This study aims to investigate the appearance of Gyeongridangil and its related commercial streets, which seemingly serve as a place brand. Internet trend data, locational conditions, and commercial compositions were analyzed to determine the characteristics of their formation. Result showed that, as the commercial streets developed because of social network services, the street names tended to be considered as place images. In terms of locational conditions, they chose rather remote places, risking the disadvantages for their own spatial style. Interpreted within the framework of place branding, these streets seemed to identify themselves with a unique streetscape using spatial restraints as an advantage. They positioned in a niche area to avoid conflict with other commercial types and attract consumers with the image of "suppliers of trendy lifestyle", thus successfully becoming a place brand.
