This paper is an attempt to explore semiotic representations of subway space as the urban machine space of local mobility in terms of space, time and place. For this, the second section of the paper reviews the contours of the urban space of mobility in terms of 'machine space', 'non-place' and 'cognitive map'. The third section interprets the sings of 'spatial' and 'temporal' representations of subway space in Daegu, and suggests the implications of the semiotic representations. It is uncovered that various sign-scapes which coexist in the subway space in coordinated or contradictory ways product the space into multiple and complex techno-social spaces. That is, the spatio-temporal representations of the subway space form the space of 'non-place' on the one hand and the space of 'place' on the other hand, and involve the spatialization of 'memory' on the one hand and the spatialization of 'forgetting' on the other hand. Thus, the subway space should be regarded to be not only the space of 'mobility' which people move in and through, but also the space of 'identity' which has effects on the ways for them to see the machine space and its urban space.

Based on the study of the lineage groups around Gyeongju City and the migrants from North Korea, it is recognized that any one of Korean group identities has not been naturally formed over a long time, but socially constructed. One of the project for the Korean human geography orienting toward Korean Studies is to examine, from the place perspective, the complicated and contested identities that modern Koreans are today sharing individually as well as in a group. From such an examination. it can explore specifically the future shape of the Korean identity upon which everybody can agree. To make the project successful, Korean Human Geography needs to start from the study of a specific place that would expose the triangular relations among the three elements: identity, place, ideology or power.

This article estimates the total evaluation of the festival and investigates the determinants of visitors' WTP(willingness to pay) for the festival. Hi Seoul Festival is a way to introduce Korean culture to other foreigners as well as to serve as an economic and cultural stimulus for Seoul. A contingent evaluation survey was conducted and a total of 763 useful samples were collected. The results show that the evaluation of the festival were different across three different WTPs which were calculated as 2,846 won, 3,321 won, and 4,838 won. The annual total benefits value is calculated as 433.767 billion Korean won. And visitors' sex and visitors' satisfaction(keep up festival, need to modify) was a important determinants of the WTP for a visit. These findings may provide guidance managers and practitioners who help maintain the Hi festival.

This study aims to investigate the appearance of Gyeongridangil and its related commercial streets, which seemingly serve as a place brand. Internet trend data, locational conditions, and commercial compositions were analyzed to determine the characteristics of their formation. Result showed that, as the commercial streets developed because of social network services, the street names tended to be considered as place images. In terms of locational conditions, they chose rather remote places, risking the disadvantages for their own spatial style. Interpreted within the framework of place branding, these streets seemed to identify themselves with a unique streetscape using spatial restraints as an advantage. They positioned in a niche area to avoid conflict with other commercial types and attract consumers with the image of "suppliers of trendy lifestyle", thus successfully becoming a place brand.

The purpose of this paper is to establish three themes of regional instruction based on new regional geography and to examine explanation of space, understanding of place and judgement of environmental values for the Jinju regional instruction. Under the premise that region is the representation of space, place, and environmental perception, we reviewed location and space, event and place, development and environmental values in Jinju area. The results of the study are as follows: Owing to locational conditions, commercial agriculture, industrial and agroindustrial park, bio industry have been developed in Jinju. There are however some tasks that have to be solved such as rural investment, industrial park relocation and economic reconstruction. The Jinju castle combat, Farmers' resistance in 1862, Human right campaign for butchers in 1923, and educational conflict all occurred in the Jinju community. These events resulted in the integration and separation of the stratified citizens. They were represented as a variety of semiotics and landscape in the place. Citizens who live in Jinju are confronted with judging the environmental values. They ask whether inviting companies to town will ensure environmentally sound and sustainable development. The regional characteristics of knowledge, culture and environment in Jinju have been reproduced through the economic activity, place understanding, place marketing, and citizens' campaign.

The placeness has been lost in space design since Modernism, especially Internationalism. Digital space design of today is one of the means to complement that. The purpose of this study is to grasp a trend in the expression of placeness, being appeared in digital space design process through case analysis. As the result of this study, the placeness in digital design process expressed by parametric elements had each effective internal algorithms. Especially, space design using digital process were expressed placeness by physical context such as topography, conditions of location, landscape, axis of road, traffic elements and climate. And social context were expressed by user experience through his cognition.

The purpose of this study is to search for the characteristics of the theory of 'placeness' permeated through contemporary museum architecture in Korea, and hereby to prove the possibility of coping with the modernity in Korean architecture. In this study the theory of 'placeness' which is asserted by Christian Norberg Schultz has been adopted in debating contemporary architecture in Korea. Therefor the theory of 'placeness' has been researched to get an angle of vision on the proof of coping with the modernity in Korean architecture. Seven contemporary museum architecture which have been completed since 1990 have been examined in the view of morphology, topology, and typology which are the major factors of 'placeness'. Throughout this case study, the post-modernity in museum architecture in Korea has been proved, which establishes that the 'placeness' is one of the alternatives for contemporary architecture in Korea.

Mobile communications is argued to reshape and activate the existing space by increasing 'mobile communicability en route' and 'real time interaction.' This study is designed to make an empirical analysis on how different the use of a cellular phone is in each different space. In this study, the space is divided into three distinct parts including the private, social and public space. First, spatial micro-coordination and experience of polysemy of place are widely observed in the use of a mobile phone in the private space. Secondly, it is found that a mobile phone contributes to extending the scope of social contacts which in turn compliments the existing social relationship. Moreover, a full-time intimate community that is connected via a mobile phone results in reshaping the social space. Lastly, the study shows that the usage pattern of a mobile phone varies depending on the type of public space. The technological development is envisaged to lead to more demand for the public space while facilitating the use of the public space.

This study started from recognizing the need to study place identity from the perspective of residents experiencing the place in daily life. The subject area of the study, Shin-Cheorwon, Galmal-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do area, had a low population until the division of Korea in 1945. Since then, the residents have created the milieu under Shin-Cheorwon's regional historic and cultural context. Thus, the study on this area can show the formation of the interrelationship of the region and residents. The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning and identity of the everyday places of Shin-Cheorwon. Photovoice was chosen as the method for successful Participatory Research; Participant's active intervention stage, 'Documentation (4th step)', Narration (5th step), researcher's analysis stage 'Ideation (6th step)' were specifically used. As a result, the following characteristic of the places chosen by participants could be found: the meaning and relationship with the residents, similarities, and differences in people shown based on their age, length of residence, etc. Through this, participants recollected the past places, found the meaning of the place of the present, and deduced the placeness that Shin-Cheorwon should have in the future. The study identified the place identity that holds the perspective of the residents in their daily life and provides implications on the follow-up studies of place identity. In addition, it is expected that it will apply to urban planning and spatial design in further studies of how residents perceive the space formed by urban development using photovoice methodology.
