| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze the environmental characteristics of lighthouses, which are being destroyed and damaged due to the development of communication technology, and propose the types of utilization as marine cultural tourism resources. To this end, 15 lighthouses were selected based on the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' plan to create a marine cultural space, and major variables were derived for analyzing the surrounding environment through a literature study on the selection properties of tourist attractions. Next, the information of each property was collected through public data and analyzed the location, pattern, and density of points of interest using GIS program to distinguish the utilization types of lighthouses and analyze their characteristics by type. Based on the distribution and density of "population", "tourist attractions", "restaurants", and "accommodation facilities", the main variables derived from the literature study were classified as "Types of utilization for local infrastructure" with high population density, "Types of connections to background tourist attractions" with a large number of tourist attractions in the surrounding area, and "Types of preserving natural scenery" with excellent degree of conservation due to low density. Given that the first type is located in metropolitan areas, it is possible to seek ways to revitalize the local economy by developing cultural programs using local infrastructure and creating employment for residents. The second type is located in large cities such as Jeju Island, which is a specialized tourist area, Sokcho, and Pohang, so it is necessary to expand external inflows through connections with surrounding tourist attractions. The third type is very unfavorable for accessibility and use of facilities, and differentiated active usages should be sought for the preservation of natural resources for healing. |
