This study aims to interpret the current landscape design of the place and landscape of memory, such as post-industrial parks and memorials that have an old, aging appearance from an aesthetic perspective. The objects of the study are large parks and open spaces that have collective memories for visitors. Visitors' aesthetic experience from these places and landscapes of memory could be explained by aesthetic concepts such as the sublime, nostalgia, and melancholy. Because these aesthetic concepts are associated with past traumas, visitors may be affected morbidly. However, due to the capability of the media to form an aesthetic experience when visitors visit a given place and landscape, visitors can autonomously adjust the distance to the place of memory and gain an aesthetic experience. The aesthetic experiences through the sublime, nostalgia, and melancholy are based on temporality and irreversibility. Temporality here refers to a characteristic of memory, and time in the place and landscape of memory and is based on the irreversibility of time, as time cannot go back. Both the place memory and the memory that is recalled from the combination with visitor's past memories and knowledge are two major factors involved in the construction of the aesthetic experience in the place and landscape of memory. The results of the present study are meaningful in that this study presents a framework for a better understanding and use of both the place memory and appreciators' memory in the design process of a place and landscape of memory and also criticizes a materialistic approach that fails to take into account the visitors' memories.

Bonjeong-tong(本町通) which was originated from Japanese place name and commercial center during Japanese colonial period speaks for downtown in the urban Korea of today. This study tries to investigate a variety of place memories that have been layered in Bonjeong-tong in the case of Chungmu-ro and Myeongdong area in Seoul, Korea. The author settles the concept of 'place memory' from the viewpoint of the discipline of human geography, and reconstructs place memories of Bonjeong-tong by three folds of layers focusing on the multilayeredness and the contestedness of place memories which have been piled up in Bonjeong-tong; 'the symbol of colonial power' vs. 'the emblem of modernization', 'the heart of monetary capitalism' vs. 'the ground of humanists and artists', 'the space of fashion' vs. 'the place of identity'. As a result, the author places emphasis on that a place like Bonjeong-tong in itself within a city is a sort of palimpsest, and suggests that therefore it is necessary to adopt a vertical approach not a horizontal one for the study on urban space in future.

Recently, industrial heritages have been transformed into cultural facilities in the wake of urban Regeneration. This focus is mainly on appearance, and the explanation is often abbreviated as a master narrative, and the placeness is not sufficiently inherited. The placeness of industrial heritage contains not only historical but also personal memories. Place memory must be collected and managed in order for the placeness that can be the source of identity to be preserved and utilized. To this end, this study suggested collecting place memories based on personal life histories. Using the case of collecting Andong Station and Cheongju Tobacco Factory, the life narrative was broken down into an event and the process of reinterpreting it as a place memory was proposed to implement archiving of industrial heritage sites. This methodology means that it can be supplemented rather than replaced.

Writing to heal is a writing that the self chews over his/her life and expresses what he/she is. Recently, many scholars who concern with writing to heal show interests in place as a medium to heal. From this point of time, this study aims to interpret implications of the writing to heal mediated by places as catalyst on the bases of theories that have argued the reciprocity between memory[the self] and place. Previously, the author has drawn 'The places that have shaped his/her life', the theme to write, and secondly interpret various situations and aspects of writings that students put down. As a result, the author places emphasis on that most students have a variety of memorial places respectively and those places work as catalyst in the process of writing.

This study aims to present the criteria of location selection and contents composition of Sewol ferry memorial space from the perspective of placeness and dark tourism, one of the main concepts of cultural tourism theory, and to draw academic concepts and implications related to it. First, the location selection of Sewol ferry memorial space was proposed by applying the concept of placeness to each important location, and the direction of the contents composition was presented based on the contents components such as characters, stories, places and dark tourism composition directions. As a result, when the Sewol ferry memorial space is designed in use of systemizing the narrative structure of the storytelling method and implementing it specifically, it is suggested that it is possible to construct a Sewol ferry memorial space by distributing and course-making based on the narrative structure rather than focusing on the location selection of a specific place. In addition, it was argued that the contents composition criteria should be more complex and systematically established and applied considering the connection between placeness and dark tourism when the Sewol ferry memorial space is constructed in various sites like 416 life safety parks and Mokpo New Port. This study, which aims to answer research questions related to major issues based on the perspective of placeness and dark tourism on the Sewol ferry memorial space, is expected to be used as a reference for the construction of the memorial space in the future.

Pimat-gil is a bystreet over 600-years old of Jong-no in Seoul that originated in the early Joseon Dynasty. This Study defines Pimat-gol (a street village) that has developed centering around Pimat-gil (alley) as a typical backlane of modern city, traces the origin and landscapes of Pimat-gol through the historical geographies of this place, and tries to name and interpret the placeness of Pimat-gol from the angles of social and cultural geography, particularly on the basis of the concept 'place memory'. As a result, the author extracts the placeness of Pimat-gol in terms of juxtaposition of three-fold layers, ie., 'space of subaltern vs. space of escape', 'space of oblivion vs. space of recollecttion and generation', and 'space of fossil vs. space of living'. In addition, the author examines the place memories which have been sedimented in this place and the contest of the place-memories by investigating these three-fold layers, and makes a proposal which would constructs another spatiality of modern city on the basis of this case.

The ZG-machine is a space-efficient G-machine, which exploits a simple encoding method, called tag-forwarding, to compress the heap structure of graphs. Experiments on the ZG-machine without garbage collection shows that the ZG-machine saves 30% of heap space and the run-time overhead is no more than 6% than the G-machine. This paper presents the results of further experiments on the ZG-machine with the garbage collector. As a result, the heap-residency of the ZG-machine decreases by 34% on average although the run-time increases by 34% compared to the G-machine. The high rate of the run-time overhead of the ZG-machine is incurred by the garbage collector. However, when the heap size is 7 times the heap-residency, the run-time overhead of the ZG-machine is no more than 12% compared to the G-machine. With the aspect of reduced heap-residency, the ZG-machine may be useful in memory-restricted environments such as embedded systems. Also, with the development of a more efficient garbage collector, the run-time is expected to decrease significantly.

The history of modernization of Korea is divided into two folds of the colonial era in the 20's and the economic development era in the 60's. Most of the spaces built in the process of modernization were public spaces developed by the drive of the government. These spaces of modernization are functionality-oriented public places of production and at the same time, and they are the spaces of national power to symbolize the identity of national authorities. Along with changes in the society, modern spaces were reduced down to monument buildings without functionality and this requires new definition to renew the identity of modern spaces. Small stations, power plants, mines, warehouses, abandoned factories, and etc... the study has paid attention to the process of changing thought, one of the main characteristics of modernization, the relations of modern concepts projected in the spaces, framework of modern society, and placeness in the process of framework building and relations of people in the spaces with video records on the process of rebuilding new identity of modern spaces and memories of the spaces. The relations of modern spaces and memory were explored in < Seoul Station > while the relations between modern spaces and records and place identity were explored in < Onyang Folk Museum > and < Okpo Shipyard > respectively. In the relations between space identity and memory in each space, the ironic relations of power in modern spaces (placeness) and personal narrative (memories) were explored with oral narrative and video footage.

This study explores the strategies for documenting extinct places by clarifying the concepts of place and sense of place and highlighting the importance of place documentation. The disappearance of a place signifies the loss of a medium that evokes memory. Place documentation, a process of recording the sense of place, can restore memory media, resolve the lack of shared memories, and strengthen community identity. It also provides archiving methods and tools to involve stakeholders as record producers to enrich the context further. Thus, the study proposes key strategies, including resident participation, communication of place identity through archives, and cultural-artistic integration projects. The Jeungpyeong Archives' "Maryknoll Clinic" project serves as a case study based on these strategies to illustrate how place documentation is implemented.

Given that the concept of reproducing landscape is similar to that of recording historical sights, places can become special space where memories are archived through meaningful activities. Therefore, place and landscape are the important concepts for understanding the Home of Roh Moo-hyun. This research was initiated when Roh Moo-hyun Foundation's decided to return the Home of Roh Moo-hyun to the public. A research report was published as the first result of this initiative. Then an archive book was recently published based on the first research report. The research report was about philosophical and aesthetic meanings and contents, the layers of accumulated memories, the records based on the accumulated memories, and the attributes of the place, and the possibility of archiving, whereas the purpose of the archive book is to restore and to curate the original meaning of the Home of Roh Moo hyun through cultural events. There are 'three memories' of layers in the Home of Roh Moo-hyun. The first memory is about 'life and dreams' that President Roh Moo-hyun dreamed about after his retirement to the hometown. The second memory is about 'the loss of time' for 10 years of time after the decrease of the President Roh Moo-hyun. The third memory is 'the memory of citizens', which started with the public opening of the Home of Roh Moo-hyun. 'Low Roof House of President Roh Moo-hyun' is the archive book that comprises the three memories which are accumulated in the home of Roh Moo-hyun and 'record language' full of meanings.
