컨벤션베뉴의 장소성이 참가자의 장소행복감 및 행동 의도에 미치는 영향 연구

Abstract

A special and memorable experience in a certain place affects the sense of place happiness, and this plays an important role in revisiting the place. Recently, convention destinations at home and abroad use both a convention center, which is a traditional convention facility, for meetings and unique venues for official and hospitality events such as opening ceremonies, dinners, and receptions, to strengthen emotional ties with participants. This study investigated the effects of participants’ happiness perceptions at the convention venue on their behavior intention. A total of 241 questionnaires were collected through on-site surveys at the Gyeongju Hwabaek Convention Center (HICO) for convention participants who experienced the convention center and unique venues at the same time. Except for 46 questionnaires of respondents who had never visited a unique venue, including unusable ones, 195 questionnaires were used for the analyses. As a result of the empirical analyses, academic and practical implications were presented by confirming that the psychological as well as emotional placeness factors perceived by insiders at the convention venue could affect participants’ happiness and their intention to revisit the convention destination rather than the physical and active spatiality placeness factors.
