ABSTRACT

This study proposes an island tourism resource classification system that can be utilized for resource management at a national level for island areas. These areas are located in the blind spot of spatial information construction and provision. A database of 2,072 island tourism resources was constructed from the legal and institutional perspectives by extracting the resources distributed within 467 inhabited islands. Based on the resource classification, at national level, the database was categorized into 3 large, 15 medium, and 122 small research items. The results showed that ecological and natural resources were the main assets of the islands targeted for development. The inhabited bridged-connected islands, however, due to high development pressure, had a more facility-oriented resource composition including historical and cultural resources and exhibition and viewing facilities. It is necessary to continue to build and upgrade the resource management database of the national territorial space with the goal of sustainable and efficient resource management. In particular, the existence of multiple legal management entities for islands and the institutional fragmentation of government departments may pose a threat to resource management. For sustainable and efficient resource management in the future, it will be necessary to seek a unified form of resource collection and management in consultation with each ministry involved and the local governments where each island is located. Based on this study, it is necessary to seek a consistent form of resource aggregation and management through discussions with the local governments from the perspective of tourism resource management.
