Abstract

This study identifies factors of Hanbok-trippers - a term for people who dress in Hanbok(Korean traditional costume) while going on a trip - who converge on Gyeongbokgung Palace by determining the characteristics of class, places to visit and preferred places. This study interprets the voluntary hobby activities of Hanbok-trippers from a viewpoint of a landscape prosumer and the meaning of the urban landscape. As a result of in-depth interviews, on-site survey, and observation surveys focused on Hanbok-trippers, there were various levels of participants. They are classified into three groups - leading group, entry group, temporary-experience group - according to their cognitions, types of Hanbok use, activities, etc. The leading group and entry group are a voluntary hobbyist class due to the ongoing tendencies of their participation. There are differences in the purpose and factors of visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace as a place for a Hanbok-trip. The leading group visited Gyeongbokgung Palace for cultural activities, regular get-together, public relations, and as a gathering place to go neighboring destinations. In this case, the main factors of the visit are the traditional landscape, convenient transportation, chances for traditional culture exhibitions and events in Gyeongbokgung Palace and its neighborhood. The entry group visits Gyeongbokgung Palace because of its traditional landscape and cultural activities nearby. The traditional landscape and many Hanbok-trippers are main factors of visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace for the Temporary-experience group. This study found that Gyeongbokgung Palace has a new sense of place of 'Introductory course of Hanbok-trip', 'Hanbok Playground' because temporary-experience group visits there to experience a Hanbok-trip for the first time. Hanbok-trippers consume places and landscape in actual places offline, producing a new landscape at the same time, and has the characteristics of a 'landscape prosumer' by producing landscape images online through their own personal or social media. Their colorful and voluntary movements contribute to the dynamism of the urban landscape and can become a new cultural asset for the city. The voluntary hobbyist class can be considered a new type of participants in bottom-up planning such as urban regeneration and place marketing. This study has significance in that it conceptualized the 'landscape prosumer' through the voluntary hobbyist class of Hanbok-trippers with the concept of the 'prosumer' that has been studied only in the consumer studies and marketing fields, and has identified the significance of the urban landscape.

본 연구는 최근 젊은 층을 중심으로 확산되고 있는 한복나들이의 행위 주체인 한복나들이객과 그들이 방문하고, 선호하는 장소의 특성을 밝힘으로써 경복궁에 한복나들이객이 집중되는 요인을 규명하는 것이다. 한복나들이객의 자발적 취미활동을 경관 프로슈머적 관점에서 해석하고, 도시경관적 의의를 고찰하고자 한다. 한복나들이객을 대상으로 심층인터뷰, 현장인터뷰, 현장관찰조사를 실시한 결과, 한복나들이객은 다양한 층위가 있었다. 한복나들이객은 한복에 대한 인식, 이용방식, 활동에 따라 선도그룹, 진입그룹, 단순체험그룹으로 구분되며, 선도그룹과 진입그룹은 한복나들이 활동의 지속성에 따라 자발적 취미계층으로 분류된다. 한복나들이 장소로서 경복궁 방문 목적과 요인에 그룹별 차이가 있었다. 선도그룹은 홍보, 모임, 문화 활동을 위한 장소와 주변 목적지에 방문하기 위한 집결장소로 경복궁을 방문하는 경우가 많았다. 이 경우, 경복궁의 전통적인 경관 외에 교통 편리성, 경복궁과 주변지역의 전통문화 전시 및 행사가 주 요인으로 나타났다. 진입그룹은 경복궁의 전통적인 경관과 주변 문화시설 이용을 목적으로 방문하는 경우가 많았다. 단순체험그룹은 경복궁의 전통적인 경관과 한복 착용자가 많은 점이 방문 요인으로 작용했다. 단순체험그룹은 한복나들이 장소로 경복궁을 최초로 방문하고 있어, '한복나들이 입문 코스', '한복놀이터'로서 경복궁의 새로운 장소성을 확인하였다. 한복나들이 향유계층은 오프라인의 실제 장소에서 장소와 경관을 소비하고, 동시에 새로운 경관을 생산하며, 소셜미디어와 1인 미디어 등 온라인에서 경관 이미지를 생산함으로써 '경관 프로슈머'적 성향을 지닌다. 이들의 다채롭고 자발적인 움직임은 도시경관에 역동성을 부여하며, 이는 도시의 새로운 문화자산이라는 의미를 지닌다. 그동안 국내외 소비자학 및 마케팅 분야에 국한되어 연구된 프로슈머의 개념을 한복나들이객이라는 자발적 취미계층을 통해 '경관 프로슈머'를 개념화하고, 도시경관적 의의를 고찰하였다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다.
