ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study examines how “experience density” forms in independent bookstores through interactions among programs, space, and networks, using Noh & Lee (2024) as the sole corpus. Method: We applied meta-ethnography with documentary coding to synthe size cross-case patterns from Gangwon and Chungcheong. Results: Experience density followed a low-barrier → expansion → deepening sequence; servicescape affordances mod erated program impact; diffusion occurred via repeated, symmetric partnerships, with tourism-oriented alliances in Gangwon and learning-centered rhythms in Chungcheong. Conclusion: We propose desk-based design rules and indicators for comparative assessment without fieldwork, and suggest mixed-methods validation with additional datasets.
