| Abstract |
This study conducted a semantic network analysis on a series of articles titled ‘Oh Busan - the Heritage and Future of Busan’, jointly
planned by the Kookje Daily News and Sangji Group, to identify the semantic structure through keyword relationships. The analysis clearly
revealed the structure of the text, showing how Busan's history, places, architecture, and culture are interconnected. It also highlighted that
Busan's history and architectural heritage create value as the city's cultural genome, with ongoing developments in architecture and culture
revolving around this foundation. As a propagation unit of such urban architecture cultural information, I think cultural genes can be
understood and empathized with as 'Busan-ness'. However, there may be disagreements about the selection of analysis data and the
appropriateness of the sample number, and the reliability of the analysis is limited. In addition, the connection structure is clearly visible, but
the interpretation of its meaning also has subjective limitations. |
