This article selected a feature film (1993) of Ken Loach who is widely known as 'Socialist Realism Film' director and attempted to explore the thesis of everyday (life) and alienation in daily space. To this end, major theories related to everyday life, dailiness, social space, daily space, alienation, and especially Henri Lefevre's discussions were used as the theoretical background and research methodology. According to the results, director Ken Loach presents the possibility of transformation of everyday life by criticizing the ills of capitalism that occur in public social spaces such as vacant lots and parking lots in and private daily spaces such as homes. It also emphasizes the reality that the alienation of the working class, which has no choice but to be exposed 'stone rain', is taken for granted and the paradox that the alienation from such reality can be achieved in everyday life. These research findings can be said to mean that the social space of everyday life is the basis for changing the dailiness of everyday life.

Tourism has been considered as the opposite of everyday life. Tourism has been recognized as an extraordinary experience in an extraordinary time and space, and everyday life has been related to a non-extraordinary, that is ordinary time, space, and experience. Beyond this dichotomous thought, this paper focuses on positively combining the relation between tourism and everyday life. To this end, the paper analyzed the ordinaryness of everyday life in tourist spaces, and conversely, grasped the extraordinaryness in dairy spaces. This paper shows that routines affect tourism practice, family tourism make tourist spaces domestification through performance, and the off-the-beaten track tourism spaces for experiencing the ordinary daily life of local residents are centered around the neighborhoods of global metropolises. Based on this, it was able to overcome dualism between daily life and tourism, and to promote the nexus between two.

The purpose of this study is to examine everyday emotional experience of urban elderly in Korea. Specifically, this study explores gender differences in the effect of place/location of activity and companionship on the daily emotional experience. Data were collected from 148 urban elderly (men=76, women=72) in Seoul, using Experience Sampling Method(ESM). The unit of analysis was the self-report and in total 5,530 self-reports were provided. The statistical methods used for the data analyses were descriptive statistics, t-test, χ² verification, and ANOVA. The major findings are as follows. First, the elderly in Korea spend a quite substantial portion of their time at home, and they spend the largest share of their time in company with their spouse. Second, women report higher intensity of stress and irritation than men in terms of overall emotional experience. Third, the effect of activity location and companionship on emotional experience turned out to be different depending on gender. Emotional experience of daily lives and overall quality of life are shown to be inter-related. Based on these findings, this study provides a significant implication that situational contexts of experience should be considered in order to understand the daily emotional experience of the contemporary Korean elderly.

This paper is to elucidate geographical implications of fieldwork activities of everyday-life space of students of an elementary teachers college. The students depended mainly on questionaries and interview for gathering data during fieldwork. They had difficulty in processing data to visual-spatial representation, i.e. map, tables, and diagrams. But they were favourable for appling their fieldwork experiences to teaching the elementary geography. This is viewed as an unique behavioral orientation or desirable attitudes of students of an elementary teachers college. On the basis of the self-assessment and peer-assessment of fieldwork activities, it could be ascertained that the students came to understand the geographical value and significance of fieldwork activities. The fieldwork activities made them to heighten their interest of everyday-life space, and so to internalize positive their senses of place, to enforce their identities of place. According to the results of this research, we need to develop a systemic contents for fieldwork activities in geography curriculum of elementary teachers colleges.

본 연구는 지난 30여 년 동안 두 번의 신도시개발 정책으로 인하여 이원적 도시구조를 지니게 된 성남시의 차별적 생성과 변화를 행위주체자로서 여성을 선택하여 그들의 생활세계-생활사, 사회.경제적 배경, 지역정체성, 지역사회의 관계, 일상과 생활공간-를 통하여 공간과 사회와의 관계에서 경험적으로 입증하고자 하였다. 그 결과 성남시는 차별성을 지닌 두 지역사회를 생성하게 되었으며, 각 장소의 행위주체자(여성)의 생활세계에 있어서도 차별적 특성을 나타내어 기존시가지 주부들은 신시가지에 <가까이 하려는> 경향을, 신시간지 주부들는 <구별짓기>의 경향을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 전업주부의 일상생활을 통해서 볼 때 기존시가지의 경우에는 오전에는 주로 부업활동에, 오후에는 주변 이웃과의 교제활동을 주로 함으로써 자신의 거주지를 생산현장으로서의 공간으로 형성해 가고 있는 반면 신시가지 주부들은 오전에는 사적인 생활 즉 여가활동에, 오후에는 자녀교육활동에 참여하는 등 자신의 거주지를 소비현장으로서의 공간으로 형성해 가고 있었다.

This research attempts to investigate the geographical approaches on healing, which have been neglected in geography relatively, comprehensively and to examine the meaning of healing in daily life from the viewpoint of the managers of psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s. According to the results of this research, exposed healing spaces such as mental clinics or counselling centers are regarded as cultural stigmatic spaces; besides, psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s decrease psychological distance or resistance and people calling for healing can access these healing spaces easily. Second, healing spaces from a perspective of modern people mean geographical boundaries as refuges for a brief time; accordingly, the users' activities in psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s as instant or unexpected healing spaces in daily life are interpreted as special experiences without any emotional burdens. And these psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s are regarded as the spaces where can experience healing repeatedly and continuously. Third, psychological counselling caf$\acute{e}$s were changed into general caf$\acute{e}$s as open spaces; therefore, they can penetrate deeper into daily life rather than others.

경제적 발달과 사회적 성장으로 인한 도심지 하천과 호소와 같은 수변공간의 개발에 대한 시민의 요구는 다양화되고 높은 수준의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 도심의 수변공간은 도시내 다양한 사회생활과 사람간의 교류가 이루어지는 활동적인 공간이자. 정적이기도 한 다양한 기능을 가진 공간이다. 이러한 도시내 수변공간은 공간은 도시를 관류하는 하천을 중심으로 시민들의 일상적인 휴식과 산책, 여가 생활을 할 수 있는 공간으로 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 전국 주요 도시의 하천들이 수변개발을 통해 동일한 시설과 콘텐츠를 적용함으로써 하천의 다양성이 부족하였다. 수변공간의 개발은 1990년대 이후 도심하천중심의 조경하천으로 개발이 진행되었으며 수변공간 주변에 주거지역이나 상업지역이 들어서면서 기존의 도심 공간에 수변공간이 개발되어 시민의 접근성을 높이고자 하였다. 그러나 개발된 수변공간은 최근의 수변공간 개발은 시민들이 즐겁고 편안하게 즐길 수 있는 공간을 제공하고 지역의 특성을 살리는 방향으로 추진되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 수변공간은 접근성과 공공성의 결여 주변여건과의 부조화 등이 문제점으로 제시되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 많은 수변공간에서 관광, 축제, 일상휴식, 레저 등 다양한 목적과 기능으로 시민들이 활용하고 있다. 본 연구는 수변공간 개발을 위해 선행연구를 조사하여 문제점과 수변개발의 특성, 유형 등을 분류한 후 수변공간 개발 시 고려사항과 평가사항을 제시하였다.

The daily life activities of primary school children have been increasingly diversified. This research examined the spatio-temporal characteristics of primary school children's daily life activities. The time allocation of primary school children's daily activities was monotonous. They tended to spend most of their time in school activities, private lessons after school, and studying at home. The daily trip to school has been diversified as the result the of increase in the number of double-income families, car owners, facilities for pastime, and educational facilities for private lessons after school. The selection of educational facilities for private lessons was strongly influenced by accessibility to the residence because of the limited time budget of primary school children and the controlled trip behavior by parents. The leisure activities were considered as a minor function and took place in the interval of performances of study-related activities. The high proportion of leisure activities was found in the indoor play. The amount of the time for leisure activity was very insufficient. The spatial range and time budget were strongly influenced by the institutional conditions of parents.
