Abstract

Humans have a natural proclivity for 'beauty' and a strong desire for it. Because vision is such an important part of the human sense organs, it plays an important role in perceiving and recognizing beauty. When visiting tourist attractions, tourists cannot escape the urban landscape based on their aesthetic needs. Night tourism, in particular, is emerging as a new concept as tourists tour the city illuminated by beautiful lights both at night and during the day. As a result, the purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual model of night tourism from an emotional rather than a functional standpoint, using an aesthetic concept that has recently emerged as a result of philosophical discussions on aesthetics in the field of art and the theoretical background of urban engineering. This study defines a multidimensional conceptual composition by establishing the concept of night tourism through the phenomenological relation and stratified structure proposed by German philosopher Nikolai Hartmann. The creation process of night tourist attractions can be transformed into 'nature of space-feeling and experience-form-design' using the conceptual model derived from this study. This presented theoretical and practical implications for night tourism, which is still in its early stages.
