Abstract

This study has attempted to determine the micro-discourse from blogs as personal media that reflect citizens' actual opinions of the Seoul Forest without intervention of experts. Furthermore, a qualitative research method discourse analysis was selected to analyze the micro-discourse regarding the Seoul Forest in a time series. The extracted samples of blogs by year were intended to identify the comment section of the process of change and the discursive structure. The results are as follows; first, from the beginning of the development of the Seoul Forest to the present, it is divided into four chronological periods along with individuals' micro-discourse with social changes. During the beginning of the development of the Seoul Forest, the social discourse was formed, and in the next period, the micro-discourse was developed with a more emotional and complex discourse. In the formative period, four or five years later, the discourse reflected the civic consciousness of development more than ever, showing the diversity of participation in the program at the Seoul Forest. In the growth period, as the users' experiences had been accumulated, the users started writing about the role of the Seoul Forest in their own words. This can also be called place discourse. From the individuals' micro-discourse, this study shows the discourse structure of how individuals think about the Seoul Forest in each period. Unlike the experts, the micro-discourse contains specific daily interactions, experiences, and the stories of individuals who actually use the parks. It also shows how users reproduce and understand the space. In this respect, this is the most significant finding of this study. Based on this research, this study has demonstrated that the emotional description of a place that actually functions as a discourse about city parks, and confirms that blogs could be used as a space to form discourse and as a research tool to read the trends. In accordance with these results, this study has described not only the discourse of experts, but also how the discourse of individuals' comments can be an important part of the discourse of modern urban parks.

본 연구는 서울숲에 대한 일반인들의 일상적이고 구체적인 인식 및 만족도를 파악하기 위해, 이용자의 실질적인 의견을 파악할 수 있는 블로그(blog)를 통해 서울숲을 둘러싸고 펼쳐지는 일반인의 미시담론을 분석하였다. 블로그를 매개로 한 일반인의 미시담론 형성 배경과 요인 등을 해석하기 위해 질적 연구법을 선택하였으며, 그 중에서도 담론분석을 위주로 하여 블로그에 게시된 미시담론의 내용과 그 형성 배경을 시계열적으로 분석함으로써, 서울숲에 대한 일반인의 구체적인 인식을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서울숲이 조성된 지 얼마 되지 않은 초기에는 서울숲 조성과 관련된 주체나 결과물에 대한 평가를 하면서 설계가나 서울시 등을 직접적으로 언급하는 사회적 담론이 형성되었다. 둘째, 형성기의 서울숲 이용자들 사이에서는 서울숲을 비교적 관점에서 평가 및 서술하면서 긍정 및 부정적 장소감이 복합적으로 드러나는 담론이 형성되었다. 셋째, 조성된 지 4~5년 후인 전개기에 게시된 블로그에서는 주로 공원의 시설 및 프로그램 등을 이용하고 난 후의 이용적 담론이 형성되어 있었으며, 마지막으로 성숙기에 들어서는 이용자들이 그들만의 언어로 서울숲을 해석한 장소적 담론이 주가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 일반인의 미시담론들을 통해 실제 이용 주체가 각 시기별로 서울숲에 대해 어떠한 생각을 갖고 있었는지 그 담론적 구조를 밝혀내고자 하였다. 일상적이고 구체적인 미시담론에는 공원을 이용하는 개별 주체들이 생산하는 상호작용, 경험, 이야기 등이 포함되어 있었고, 이들의 고찰을 통해 일반인 이용자가 장소를 어떻게 재현하고, 이해하는지를 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 그 의미를 발견하였다.
