천곡동굴이 위치하고 있는 동해시의 천곡동은 동해시역 중에서도 중심부에 해당되는 지역이다. 이 지역은 북쪽의 묵호지역과 남쪽의 북평지역을 연결시켜주는 지역이며 교통도 매우 편리하고 앞으로도 크게 발전할 수 있는 곳이다. 또한 이 지역은 수산항이라고 할 수 있는 묵호항과 산업항인 동해항( 및 북평항)과의 중간지점에 위치하여 두 지역의 결합적 역할수행이 요구되고 있는 지역이기도 하다. 또한 동북아시아의 관광루우트 설정시에도 동해시가 동해안의 중심적인 현관구실을 하여야 할 곳으로 대두되고 있어 앞으로 인구흡인의 원동력이 될 수 있는 관광개발이 요구되고 있는 현실이다.

This is an environmental analysis study for discovering specialized local sports tourism and aims to provide implications for the development of sports tourism industry in the Chuncheon region by analyzing the current status of domestic and overseas sports tourism and presenting overseas cases of specialized regional sports tourism. Therefore, through SWOT analysis and secondary data survey, implications for the development direction according to facilities, programs, and public relations and marketing were derived. Sports tourism contributes to vitalization of local economy by converging with local tourism centering on sports participation or viewing. Thus, it must be organized with differentiated products taking into account the characteristics of the area. An investigation of the main components of domestic and overseas sports tourism shows that mega sports events or specialized local leisure sports are connected to tourism resources for commercialization. In Korea, 3 to 4 local areas are discovered and supported annually through the specialized local sports tourism promotion program. This study suggests a development plan by evaluating and analyzing the performance of the Chuncheon Spo-Tour program. In terms of facility, it is necessary to construct accommodation facilities that harmonize with the natural environment, develop new programs connected to Songam Sports Town, and reinforce existing equipment. In terms of program, it is necessary to develop canoe/kayak water courses utilizing Uiam-Lake, train professionals to operate programs, and develop programs that take into consideration seasonal characteristics as well as the level of each participants. In terms of PR/marketing, it is important to build competitiveness by using ICT, improving public awareness of the sites, and adopting reasonable pricing policies. The development of specialized local sports tourism products through remedies and efforts will contribute to vitalization of local economy.

This paper aims to explore the geographic characteristics of ecotour resources in Gumho-river basin and to study the educational application of ecotour resources. To grasp the characteristics of ecotour resources in Gurnho-basin, this research carried out a literature review about Gumho-river basin and arranged ecotour resources by different types. Ecotour resources are divided into geomorphic and geologic resources, plant communities, wildlife habitats, cultural and historical resources, regional events with eco-resources. The case studies of New Zealand present good examples of how to successfully use the ecotour goals as a educational applications to Korea. The ecotourism in Korea has not still achieved the real benefits which meet environmental conservation, regional economic advantages and educational effects. Thus, the ecotour programmes should be include entrance limitations, strict opening time schedules, natural trails, museums for study, boards for study, well trained information officers and guides organized by residents. In addition, the local residents prepare of winter programmes for sustainable economic advantages.

인간은 누구를 막론하고 미지의 지역에 대한 동경과 아울러 그 지역을 방문해 보고자 하는 기본적인 심리를 가지고 있다. 특히 경제적 여유가 신장되고 관광에 대한 일반의 관심이 대단히 높아지면서 우리 주변에 산재하고 있는 관장자원들에 대해 관심을 가지게 된다. 지속적으로 늘어나는 관광객들 개개인의 서로 다른 욕구와 취향, 또는 외부적 여건으로 인한 지각(Perception)의 결과 관광 환경에 대한 상이한 Image가 형성될 것이며, 이는 곧 관광 주체로 하여금 관광지를 선택하게 하는데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하게 될 것이다. 관광지리학 분야에서의 관광자원 또는 Wildness에 대한 인지행동론적 연구는 1960년대의 주관적 환경을 강조하는 행태지리학에서 시작되었으며 관광 목적지에 대한 지각, 인지, Mental Map, 관광행태 등을 포함하고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 대부분 계량적이고 실증적인 시대의 전형적인 산물로서 관광객들의 직접적인 관광형태로 나타나게 하는 의사결정 과정을 중시하는 것이다. 일반적으로 환경에 대한 인지는 과거에 개인의 경험과 현재의 다양한 주변 여건에 의해 크게 달라질 수 있다. 오늘날 인지행태론적 연구는 관광지리학 뿐만 아니라 심리학, 사회학, 인류학 등 사회과학 전반에 걸쳐 연구가 활발하게 이루어 지고 있다. 따라서 본 논고에서는 관광지 및 관광자원에 대한 국내외의 인지행태론적 연구를 검토해 보고 이러한 연구에 많이 이용되고 있는 MDS 분석법을 살펴 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference between local residents and tourist groups in the relationship between the motivation for visiting and the satisfaction of Chung Nam Dae which is the leading tourist attraction in the Chungbuk region. We obtained 200 validated samples each of the local residents in Chungcheongbuk-do Province and the tourists from outside of Chungcheongbuk-do Province with experience of visiting Cheongnamdae through the survey using the questionnaire organized through literature research. The analysis result showed that the relationship between motivation and satisfaction varied depending on the overall sample, local residents, and tourist and that the natural relaxation and convenience had a positive impact on satisfaction in all groups. There was a difference in the influence between motivation and satisfaction between the two groups. Four motivational factors, including natural relaxation, convenience, historicity, and relationship had the significant influence on satisfaction for the local residents while two motivational factors, including natural relaxation and convenience, had the significant influence on satisfaction for the tourists.

This study analyses how much Korean visits to North Korea have an impact on the North Korean regional economy. It estimates the demand for North Korean tourism via the borders of North Korea, China, and Russia and South Korean expenses to be spent in North Korea. When asked if they are willing to visit North Korea within the next five years in case the pre-conditions of the visit to North Korea are satisfied, approximately 64.1% of the survey respondents indicated 'yes'. To estimate the demand, this research employed the analysis of purchase intention, popular in marketing, based on their willingness to visit. The annual demand for tourism was 4,136,361 persons. The average estimated expense per person is KRW 1,532,000 and the total annual expense is KRW 6,336.9 billion. Assuming that airfare is excluded from the total expense and the expense is made evenly in each tourist destination, the estimated amount to be spent in North Korea is KRW 2,838.7 billion per annum. The backward linkage effect of this expense on the North Korean regional economy is KRW 7,972.1 billion in total production inducement, KRW 2,619.4 billion in value-added inducement, and approximately 2,890,443 persons in employment inducement. The value-added inducement effect is estimated to be approximately 7.6% of the North Korean nominal GDP in 2020. South Korean tourism is expected to have a significant impact on the North Korean economy. As the demand for North Korean tourism is likely to increase steadily due to the expected increase in overseas travel demand by Koreans, inter-Korean cooperation is needed for the development of North Korean tourism infrastructure if conditions improve.

To achieve this, 599 news articles containing the keyword 'smart tourism' were collected from national daily newspapers in the BigKinds database, covering the period from January 2014 to June 2024. The collected data was subject to topic modeling based on location, and network analysis was performed using the keyword frequencies in each topic. The topic modeling results identified six major topics: 'Jeju,' 'Incheon,' 'Daegu_Busan_Ulsan,' 'Gyeongju,' 'Suwon,' and 'Yangyang.' It was found that the development of smart tourism in all these regions is centered around tourism projects led by government and local authorities. The network analysis results revealed that 'platform' and 'content' are key keywords related to smart tourism technology across all topics, indicating that these concepts are interconnected to provide services to individual tourists. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable information for formulating policies and strategies to promote smart tourism in various regions and contribute to the realization of sustainable smart tourism.
