ABSTRACT

The most significant impact that the tourists visiting Incheon Chinatown give to the local residents can be found in its social economy. However, the Chinatown will hope to be remembered by the visitors as a tourist attraction. For this, the study suggests that providing balanced information should be prioritized and that the space should be restructured in order for visitors to actively participate and intervene into the space. In other word, the interpretation of space needs reconsidering so that visitors can re-evaluate the memory about the space they are in now from the point of current view. In addition, the Cyber Incheon Chinatown plays an essential role as a pre (or post) space for visiting the real Chinatown. To increase the applicability of the space, various devices, such as new apps and app links for educational purpose, and Chinese websites for an arena of communication between Korea and China, as well as rich information for increasing Chinese tourists, should be added. The Chinatown links abstract knowledge and information about China with the real world. That is the reason that the Cyber Chinatown should be an educational site that connects the memories in the past to today’s events.
