Abstract

This study aimed to enhance awareness of diverse families and promote an inclusive, family-friendly culture by implementing the metaverse in a family festival and assessing its effects during the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve this, the metaverse was applied and operated at the Jung-gu Family Center Family Festival in Seoul from October 29 to November 6, 2021. The design of the Metaverse Family Festival prioritized the integration of metaverse technology and the layout of program-linked spaces to create a realistic experience. The festival was operated with a focus on providing experiential activities and exhibitions. Data comprised program satisfaction and reviews from a sample of 228 festival participants. The key findings were as follows. Firstly, participants shared their interest and joy in experiencing new activities with their families through the Metaverse Family Festival. Secondly, creating a realistic family festival environment proved practical for encouraging active participation. Thirdly, the Metaverse Family Festival was perceived as promoting an inclusive, family-friendly culture by facilitating safe and accessible communication. Fourthly, the festival effectively bridged the digital gap within families, thereby enhancing digital literacy. This study offers new insights for the future design and operation of various programs in family centers and public institutions.
