Narrations of classical novels usually have provided the source for video contents in the forms of movies, TV dramas, animations. and other multi-media like comic books, games, characters, and festivals. However, the content production of classical literature has not utilized all the above means but rather been restricted to particular areas. Moreover, many of the classical novels have not experienced such productions, most of which have been applied to well-known pansori works like Chunhyang-jeon, Shimcheong-jeon, and Heungbu-jeon. Besides those pansoris, there are only two relevant novels. One is Honggildong-jeon, which projects the social issues of the time. The other is JangwhaHongryon-jeon, which deals with the family tragedy caused by a step-mother. Are there any special reasons in which these two novels have enjoyed fairly high frequency of such modifications and content productions? Above all, these works have popular narration structures so that they have not run into any serious problems with entertainment. They not only show ordinary aspects of events and characters but also describe many details of real life, both of which are quite peculiar in almost every pansori. Even in terms of modern literature, these three works stand out in successfully describing realities. As a result, the stories have been widely used as proper texts for many modifications and content productions. However, the contents of classical novels concentrate upon a couple of works. The result is that the abundance of contents would be seriously barred. It is mainly because story-telling itself will be restricted so that it does not allow the variety of stories. Although it is important to select proper works in producing contents, it is even more important to classify and categorize over 850 works of classical novels. It is possible to broadly categorize the stories of classical novels. At the same time, it is also possible to make various story-tellings by subcategorizing in terms of characters and events. The next step is to investigate various patterns of video contents of movies and dramas. Naturally, the process may reach performance contents such as changkeuk, play, madang-nori, musical, and opera. Finally, the last step is to widen the scope by including such areas as animations, characters, and games. The content development for classical novels can bear abundant fruit when it extends the depth of stories and the width of multi-media as well.

In the ‘Dokkaebi village in Seomjin river’ of Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam- do and the ‘royal azalea Seolhwawon in Mt. Hanwoo’ of Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Dokkaebi forest trails were built by using the Dokkaebi' folk tale and character, and it is now on operation actively. Therefore, the aspect of storytelling and actual operation status were examined and the development of local cultural contents and modern transmission direction of oral literature using local folk tales were examined. The goblin village in Seomjin river is the business community based on the theme of Dokkaebi and childlike innocence. The Hogok Dokkaebi exhibition hall is for the performances and exhibitions, and the art parks and forest experience activities are run in the outside nature space. It is famous local private business that has steadily achieved a lot of performances in its own projects as well as government agencies and local government projects for about ten years. The legend of <the general Ma Cheonmok and Dokkaebi’s sal> in Gokseong and the Dokkaebi’s sal of Seomjin river were utilized in the puppet show and Dokkaebi forest trails experience program. Moreover, the scope of the data is extended to the traditional Dokkaebi culture in the exhibition space. Besides, the goblin village in Seomjin river was designated as the first forest experience centers for little children, it can be also highly appreciated that composing of forest experience program for children by making good use of naturalistic characteristic based on the waggish and mischievous Dokkaebi image as a theme. Mt. Hanwoo is a big mountain in Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, in 2016, the Korean azalea habitat was built up with the nearby walking forest trails in Uiryeong-gun and the sculpture related to the Dokkaebi' folk tale was installed and named as royal azalea Seolhwawon. At this time, the existing Dokkaebi' folk tale was recreated by mixing with Mt. Hanwoo, Mt. Eungbong, royal azalea, Hongeuisong (pine tree), strong wind and Manggae-tteok etc. as the regional characteristics of Uiryeong. In addition, the character sculpture was installed for preparing the internal stability of forest trails storytelling and experience tour. Meanwhile, in the result of searching the material of original text of unknown storytelling, the legend of Mt. Geumoh in Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do having many similarities and relevance was most similar with the original text. So, it is regrettable that the legends of Dokkaebi from other regions was derived and the original text was not revealed due to lack of material review. Especially, the local legends showing the characteristics of local nature, history, culture, consciousness are closely related to the growth and enhancement of self-identity of local residents, so it is needed to approach and choose carefully. In addition, tracking the related articles posted on the web site, blog, SNS, etc., both of these site have been used more and have received more attention recently. Hereby, the sustainability of the operation of local cultural contents using tale was confirmed and it shows that it is representative local cultural contents of Gokseong and Uiryeong. Now is the time when the video content that can be called a new oral culture is derived and enjoyed through the online platform such as YouTube. Thus, it is the time to consider the modern and futuristic transmission method of oral literature by having regard to the changes of the consumer media such as the archiving of materials and shared services, promotion and further development of storytelling.

This paper proposes cultural tourism contents usage plan through systematic literary research of Wando Island, South Jeolla Province. Wando County contains many cultural tourist attractions including the Dadohaehaesang National Park, however the majority of locations are developed during modern times. Much of Wando’s cultural history can be inferred within Joseon Dynasty literature. Accordingly, this paper has, through the analysis of the local literature of the Joseon Dynasty, attempted to discover new cultural tourism contents of Wando. The results are summarized into three broad categories. First, there are many Buddhist historical sites remaining in Wando such as Sangwang-bong and Gwan-eum-am. Secondly, Wando served as a representative private mountain that produced Yellow-hearted Pine. Currently, the pine groves of Wando have disappeared, and it is necessary to restore the habitat. Third, Kyu-young Jeong’s Wando Journey is a series of poems recited of a Wando Journey. Through the analysis of the poem, it is possible to restore the famous locations of Wando and utilize them as cultural tourism contents. In the Joseon Dynasty, Wando County was classified as an Island Region, and was mainly recognized as an exile; and the Gongdo Policy led to a view that historical records were lacking. However, it has been revealed through literary analysis that there were many scenic spots that attracted the attention of the Joseon Dynasty, and it has been confirmed that there is potential to utilize this as cultural tourism contents. The above is just the specific example of Wando, but the success or failure depends on how data is processed and utilized wherever that may be in the country. This is based on long historical facts and is meaningful because it can reveal the regional characteristics of the natural environment.
