ABSTRACT

Focussed on the demands by local residents and tourists, this study examined the development of coastal tourism involving four coastal communities in western area of Kyonggi Province in Korea. Authors argue that in order to developing coastal communities as a tourist destination, it is necessary to maintain original identity of coastal communities as a place for producing sea products and fisheries, and further there is a need for recreational areas or picnic areas utilizing natural resources such as local parks, pine trees, or promenade in the region to provide systematic and diverse approaches in space use; Finally, this paper suggests that, rather than enclave development independent of and isolated form communities, belt-shaped or packaged tourism development connecting to adjacent coastal communities and other tourist destinations in the region would be better sustainable for these coastal communities.
