As recently too many local museums have been built in the whole country, most of them cannot attract enough spectators. In order to resolve this problem, it is needed for local museums to differentiate their spaces and programs related to their exhibition. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of spaces and programs of local museums from the perspective of spatial marketing to activate them, and contribute to development of local cultures. This study targeted historical public museums located in Seoul and Incheon. Through preceding research, an analysis frame was established based on the keywords related to spatial marketing, and then the characteristics of spaces and programs of local museums were analyzed based on the frame. The study results are as follows. 1) Access convenience refers to openness that public museums located in Seoul and Incheon can embrace accessible locations, points of interest, and convenient facilities easily recognized by pedestrians. 2) Symbolic formativeness is to express symbolic historical contents in the museum lobby or exhibition to show the identity of local museums. 3) Visibility is needed for direct guidance signs or spaces to let spectators know directions and locations. 4) Public concern is for spectators and local residents to participate in local museums to share and utilize their partial spaces. 5) Interactivity is to induce activation of local museums by utilizing experience exhibition contents and having spectators directly contact exhibits. 6) Interest is related to cultural festival programs of exhibition to arouse spectators' and local residents' curiosity. 7) Participation is to activate spaces and spectators by providing educational programs. 8) Usefulness is to induce spectators' interest in local museums by providing historical, social, and cultural information. These results are expected to be used as baseline data to suggest a new direction for activation of local museums from the perspective of spatial marketing.

The purpose of this essay is to survey the present situation of christian museums and to suggest future direction on the basis of the former result. Firstly, I arranged the present situation of protestant museums as a basic work to secure the importance of religious museums. And I will continue researches about catholic, buddhist, folk museums etc. A christian museum is important in that it is a storehouse of precious data accumulated in the history of modern Korea. However, interest in its value has not been given sufficiently so far despite its importance. Most christian museums are petty in their scale and management. When we consider the historical weight of christian history in the modern Korea, the status of christian museums have to be improved from now on. I classified the types of christian museums in Korea into christian history museum, christian art museum, biblical archeology museum, local churches' history museum, christian figures museum(memorials of famous christians), and mission school(colleges) museums on the basis of contents they possess. It can be said that the representative types among these are christian history museum and biblical archeology museum.

Ecomuseum has changed for general museums with a strong historical connotation, and more identity museums, which reminds one of their purposes of providing evidence, conserving and remembering. Small museums playa very important social role and have a level of importance which should do something to improve cultural policy. The "ecomuseum" phenomenon, in other words this spontaneous birth of numerous museums in local communities, this desire to retrace one's history and fix it in one's mind, has only one precedent in Italy. This precedent involved the opening of numerous museums dedicated to the "Risorgimento" and "Patriotic History", which, in the closing decades of the 19th century, were founded on political input all over the country, in big towns and little villages alike. Searching amidst the exhibits for the memory of a national identity and they are proof that local communities are filled with an unstoppable need to know about their roots and to reassess their own identities.

Museums in Korea have a long history of 100 years. It is not too much to say, though, that in fact, they in the history have lasted only for 20 to 30 years. Daejeon World Expo in 1993 and the foundation of local governments in 1995 not only played an important role in the growth of museums, but also affected the spatial development in terms of architecture and exhibition. Based on the theoretical background of museums' historical, formative, and exhibition-spatial changes, this study grasps the changes in public museums established during the last 20 to 30 years, and analyzes the changing roles of museums in the future. The preliminary study shows that the formative and spatial changes of museums partially resulted from the changes in visitors' pattern. Besides, as a result of the utilization of PEST Analysis, a macroscopic competition analysis method, it turned out that the construction of public museums in Korea was promoted with in mind the political and social significance after the establishment of the autonomous government. For unique museums to be established in local regions, it is necessary to proceed with a consistent investigation on museums in various perspectives rather than merely relying on the administrative exhibition services led by the organizations.

Beijing, the capital city of China, has gradually increased its amount of culture space and has also introduced a diverse range of cultural facilities to improve the satisfaction of its citizens lives. In particular are its art museums, which are a symbol of the urban culture and enrich the cultural life of its citizens and are also expected to play a role as a psychological pivot point. However, in comparison with the characteristics of various ethics, local, and the influence on the museums of China, studies which analyze the exterior of the art museums are not sufficient. This is because previous research has focused too heavily on the interior of the art museums. This paper aims to derive distinction through the analysis of the exterior of several art museums and present design factors and application methodology. This research looks at art museums in China and analyzes the current state of the art museums that have been developed based on the culture of Beijing. Through analyzing the case study of five art museums that have been selected in Beijing we can improve our understanding of Chinese culture space and derive distinct design factors. Distinct factors in the exterior of art museums include connection, culture, geographic features, public, and creation. This study is expected to contribute to that exterior of the art museum will be as a contact zone to form a spatial connection and a cultural symbol that can reflect Beijing's unique culture characteristics.

Today, local museums as well as international museums are varied with scale, foundation purpose and function. Children's museum is particularly designed for special viewers. Therefore, the expression design factors such as plane, cubic side, illuminator, line of flow, color, material and the characteristics of viewers should be considered in planning. A couple of sample museums are selected for this study in order to study the characteristics of viewers. I hope the result of this study will be the basic information for the display design of children's museum.

The scope of the analysis is discussed the extension of existing and new national museums which could be the measurement of the direction of the policy for museum. These changes have a tendency to correspond to social and cultural demands. Based on the existing program, new programs accommodate education and services which represent the characteristic of the museums. These changes caused the extension of the existing museums and the emergence of the small museums which has special program fields and even influences to expand existing museums for sub-characters. The study for chronological changes could be useful to establish the basic guidelines of the configuration for the museum program and space in the early stages for the new construction.

Eco-museums can be called "living museums" without walls covering specific areas. Eco-museums protect, preserve and display the integrity, completeness and protozoic of nature and cultural heritage, and emphasize the organic relationship between people and heritage. In 1971, the concept of "ecomuseum" was presented by Frenchman George Henry Rivier. "Environment" includes natural and human life. It then spread to Canada, Britain, the United States and China[1]. The first Ecological Museum and the concept of this study, the existing literature, high and each Su donghai, Hu chaoxiang and Liviere selects, six in the study of factors. Museum was analyzed by the ecology of the frame of analysis of several countries. According to the analysis results, the frame of this theory will not only be applicable to the research of the ecological museum in the ecological museum, but it will also be able to use this theory frame for the analysis of the ecological museum in China's minority areas in the future.

This study introduces the new role of science museums. The practitioners from seven domestic science museums and four overseas ones participated in this study and responded the questionnaires. I identified what kind of science culture programs there are, if those programs were successful or not, and if unsuccessful, what kind of improvements can be made to be successful. The participating practitioners in science museums also developed an ideal and realistic community cooperation-based science culture programs and I explored the role of a new science museum for this purpose. In the case of current science culture programs, the most successful or not was the participation of visitors according to public relations, and the importance of public relations were mentioned as improvements. For a successful community cooperation-based science and culture program, active promotion, pre-operation team, dedicated personnel, open mind, and same purpose of other institutions, the will of both institutions, and economic support sponsors are important variables. In the case of the domestic science museums, the actual development and operation of the program showed that a successful community based program must have cooperation with other institutions in the same region, win-win connections, the dedicated human resources, and that each science museum's strengths were maximized. The science culture programs in the 21st century will enhance the innovative role of science museums making the use of local human and physical infrastructure, reflecting the needs of citizens, taking the initiative in the community, fostering cooperation-based professional human resources, and communicating smoothly with the government or local governments.

Under quarantine policies related to the Coronavirus, museums have closed or started limited operations. Currently, museums are trying to adapt to the untact situation, while maintaining the museum's original function and communicating with visitors through online platforms. This paper first analyzes the operation status of domestic and foreign museums under untact situations and the operation status of online platforms. In order to reconsider the publicity of the museum, the definition of the museum by ICOM and Hannah Arendt's concept of publicity should be examined. Through this, the importance of the function of public art museums in forming democratic discourse and awakening community could be developed. To this end, first, public forum to discuss the quarantine policy of museums should be developed. Second, local and central governments should support museums financially. Finally, the online platforms of the museum should be more activated. Despite the untact situation of the museum, the publicity of art museums must be addressed in order to discuss the community's difficulties democratically.
