A review of audio guides in the era of smart tourism

The tourism industry is intimately related to the development of technology. Currently, technology-integrated "smart tourism" provides convenience and interactivity, and offers personalized services to tourists. However, the use of the technology-mediated audio guides among tourists in cultural heritage sites is not as active as expected. The underutilization of the audio guides in palaces is confirmed by a survey at Gyeongbok-gung palace, and the underlying reasons are examined by interviewing visitors to Chateau de Versailles. This paper analyzes the low usage of audio guides as a case-study, utilizing Cohen's basic concepts of tour guides, Dann's tourist motivation theory and the museum ecology of Bell. Consequently, this paper confirms the multifunctional complexity of audio guides, and suggests improvement of them in functionality (user-friendliness, usability, interactivity and social functions) for program developers, and the strategic use of ICT in promotion of palaces as smart tourism destination in cultural heritage management.

Establishment of Conservation Management System and Application of Cultural Contents for Stone Sculptures in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Korea

The Conservation Management System (CMS) for stone sculptures in Gyeongbokgung Palace (hereafter referred to as the Palace) was developed after three years of surveying and researching on the works, compiling and classifying the research results and creating a database for managing the sculptures effectively and systematically. In addition, the system was constructed considering the prospect of linking with and expanding into other palaces. Along with this, development plans were presented for education and promotion contents that utilize the humanistic study archives. As part of this study, characters were designed by adopting as the subject matter the symbols and meanings of the statues of the ‘Seosu’ (Auspicious Beasts image) in platform of ‘Geunjeongjeon Hall’ in the Palace and the draft plans were also produced for the story telling animation that reflects study contents together with the audio tour guide contents that developed the story telling visit to the stone sculptures across the Palace.

A study on a reconstruction of Gwanghw and fluctuation of boulevard in front of Gwanghwamun

Gwanghwamun was dismantled and displaced to the east side of the palace, at that time, the Chosun Government General Building was constructed in the Gyeongbokgung palace. After the Korea war, it remained as a stonework as a result of the fire. In 1968, The Gwanghwamun came back in front of the palace. Then, why it was rebuilt in the 3rd Republic period? What was the reason for selecting concrete? Since the May 16 coup, the military regime had been utilized palace and surrounding urban space to show a visible practice of modernization. Attempting the combination of modern technology in the 1960s and traditional cultural property and reconstructing a city as a pretext called Cultural Heritage conservation was a typical mechanism of the 1960s. In this study, I start by assume that reconstructing Gwanghwamun(1968) was a part of project to change the surrounding urban space of Gwanghwamun than to preserve cultural assets. Two main contributions of the study are following. First, I collect availabe data on the reconstructing surrounding urban space of the Gwanghwamun and re-organize them in chronological order to make them as fragments of a map. Second, I analysis and identify the nature and phase of the Gwanghwamun reconstruction.

한국 전통 과학에 대한 고등학생들의 인식과 가치 탐색

Received 20 November 2014Received in revised form23 December 201418 February 2015Accepted 24 February 2015The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of science education using Korean TSK(Traditional scientific knowledge). In this study, we have developed five Korean TSK units including science concepts, historical knowledge and cultural experience and applied them to 10th graders. The five units are as follows: (1) Calendars(western and eastern), (2) Our traditional sundial, Angbuilgu, (3) A great scientist in the King Sejong Era, (4) Data interpretation of ancient record of natural phenomenon in Korea, and (5) Gyeongbokgung Palace. The analyses included a pre- and post test of students' perception, classroom observation, students' activity sheets, and interview. The results show that the students' perception of Korean TSK has changed toward recognizing the value of Korean TSK as a kind of natural science. They expressed their expectation of Korean TSK in scientific, practical, and emotional perspectives, wherein some students thought the practical and emotional perspectives of Korean TSK as non-scientific characteristics. Students showed five types of worldview about the relationship between Korean TSK and WMS(western modern science). Most students favored and cherished the Korean TSK but at the same time, they were confused about its scientific value. The results support the rethinking of the meaning of science and what students learn in school. We should consider how we teach the Korean TSK to students. It is important that a profound research of the Korean TSK should be continued to make our science education varied.

1920년 창덕궁 내전 일곽의 재건에 관한 연구

Naejeon area at Chandeokgung Palace means the areas of Huijeongdang and Daejojeon area. Huijeongdang or Hall of Brilliant Rule is made for the king, and Daejojeon or Hall of Great Creation is made for the queen. These areas were located nearly and repeatedly burned down and rebuilt several times together, but their forms were largely unchanged. However in 1920, they rebuilt in a very different way. The purpose of this study was to estimate construction plans, progress and completion of Naejeon area's rebuilding. They were reconstructed into eclectic structures as the exteriors were built using basic materials from Gyeongbokgung Palace. So they have traditional-looking appearances, but the interiors consisted of modern equipments and were built by applying foreign style construction techniques. The main floored room of Daejojeon and the area of Huijeongdang were built in standing style by installing radiators and French furnitures. Also, the porch, corridor, storage space and veranda were constructed under the influence of Japanese construction. After the reconstruction, there were changes in the usage of some spaces. Huijeongdang functioned only for Alhyeonso or audience chamber rather than Pyeonjeon or state hall. New organizations created by the Japanese such as Chansi or secretaries office and the Chief secretary's office were included in Naejeon area.

Research on Animal Statues of the 40th Anniversary Monument Hall of Gojong’s Enthronement

This paper will study the building background and significance of the 40th Anniversary Monument of Gojong’s Enthronement and will also consider the art historical meaning on the arrangement and the iconic feature of the animal statues which are adorning the exterior of the memorial royal palace.BR The 40th Anniversary Monument of Gojong’s Enthronement is a tombstone which have erected in 1902 at the southern Chamber of Elders(耆老所), to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the King Gojong(r.1863-1907), entering into the Chamber of Elders by going on sixty years old, changing the name of a country into “Daehan(大韓)” and using the title of Emperor.BR The King Gojong took pains to establish modern and autonomous state by organizing the system and adopting the modern civilization. Building the monument which was the biggest undertaking for commemorating is a great achievement under the rapidly changing situation and poor financial condition.BR The banister of the memorial royal palace which protecting the tombstone is adorned with Four Symbols, the Earthly Branches and Haechi(??). This example could be seen in the case of the stone steps of Geunjeongjeon in Gyeongbokgung Palace, but it differs considerably in the principles of the arrangement. As for the stone steps, it could be interpreted by the Theory of I-Ching. As for the memorial royal palace, however, it could be seen that a different arrangement was applied; each animal had placed at all direction. It is assumed that it aims to extensively reach the king Gojong’s reign and edification into the whole nation and to announce that the Korean Empire is an autonomous state.BR Although the production date of the animal statues of the memorial royal palace is apparent and it is a great work by the nation, it shows an art of low standard comparing to the artwork of the early Joseon Dynasty. The formative features of icons showed a trend of simplification and formalization with technical regression in pictorial sculpture. This tendency was keeping with the rise and fall of the Korean Empire. The importance of this research includes how confused situation then has affected the artwork.
