Abstract

As a worldwide phenomenon, recently, many tourists have been seeking out urban neighborhoods for a more authentic experience, which has converted many areas not initially planned or marketed for tourists into tourist destinations. Neighborhoods, such as Ihwa Mural Village in Seoul and Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan, South Korea, have become popular destinations due to tourists’ desire to seek local experiences through everydayness as well as the implementation of public art projects that added artistic components to these places. However, the coexistence of the contrasting attributes of being both residential neighborhoods and tourist attractions has resulted in complicated outcomes and has led to complex social and economic changes that have affected residents’ place attachment to the neighborhoods. This study examines how new urban tourism-led neighborhood change reconstructs human-place relationships, utilizing the concept of place attachment which explores the emotional and psychological bonds between people and places. Qualitative research methods, such as interviews and participant observations, were employed to explore how various stakeholders (residents, new residents, merchants, artists) of these two case studies perceive and experience the neighborhood change brought by tourism. Findings reveal that place attachment encompasses plural and flexible expressions that manifest in different types, valences, and intensities. Also, place attachment could undergo an adaptive process contingent upon a series of neighborhood events that affect residents’ quality of life and conflicting benefits.

관광객이 도시의 평범한 일상 체험을 통해 진정한 경험을 추구하고자 하는 욕구가 강화하며 기존에는 관광지로 분류되지 않았거나, 관광지로 개발되지 않았으며, 개발로부터 소외된 지역으로 인식되었던 공간이 관광지로 등장하는 신도시관광이 세계적인 현상으로 대두하였다. 우리나라 역시 도시의 일상을 경험할 수 있고 옛 모습이 남아있는 도심 속의 낙후된 마을을 중심으로 신도시관광지가 증가하는 양상을 보인다. 서울의 이화벽화마을과 부산의 감천문화마을이 바로 대표적인 사례 중 하나로, 모두 도심에 위치한 낙후된 동네로 알려져 있었으나 도시민의 일상을 경험할 수 있는 곳이자 마을미술프로젝트의 시행으로 인해 예술적 색채가 더해지며 ‘관광지’로 유명세를 얻게된다. 그러나 ‘주거지’이자 ‘관광지’라는 두 이질적 속성의 공존은 복잡한 근린변화를 야기했다. 이에 본 연구는 주거지의 관광지화가 장소를 어떻게 재구성하는지를 살펴보기 위해 인간-장소 간에 형성된 정서적･심리적 유대감을 살펴볼 수 있는 개념인 장소애착 렌즈를 통해 인터뷰와 참여관찰 등 질적방법론을 활용하여 두 사례지역을 구성하고 있는 다양한 행위자(주민, 신주민, 상인, 예술가)가 신도시관광의 확산으로 인해 초래된 주거지의 관광지화를 어떻게 인식하고 경험하는지를 탐색했다. 이를 통해 장소애착이 착근성이나 문화적･미학적 감상에 기반하는 복수적(plural) 표현과 근린변화 속에 나타나는 소외감 및 복잡한 이해관계 등으로 인해 조정(adapt)과정을 거치는 유동적(fluid)이고 역동적인 개념이라는 점을 제시한다.
