본 연구에서는 ‘사회적 관광’과 ‘교차 준수’에 관한 이론적 분석을 통해 지역관광지원 정책과 지역통일교육콘텐츠 개발 전략을 통합할 수 있는 개념적 근거를 제시하고, 이를 부산지역 사례에 적용하기 위해 기존의 발굴된 관광자원을 재해석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 부산학, 분단사 등에서 연구해 온 사료를 조사하였으며, 한국전쟁 당시부터 해당지역에서 거주해 온 지역민 10인에 대한 인터뷰를 통해 분단과 연관된 장소의 문화적 해설 방안 및 지역통일교육콘텐츠 개발 방안에 관하여 분석하였다. 공동체의 기억을 저장하는 기능을 지닌 장소성을 통해 사회적 자본을 축적하고 사회적 관광의 제도적 틀을 마련 하여야 할 것이다.

This study explores influences of the relationship between social capital and residents’ perception in a collective aspects, and also explores the differences of influence between two groups in 10 rural communities. This study conducts regression analysis with residents questionnaires, and analyzes the relationship of influence among the latent factors, and differences between the two groups. As a results, associational network and social trust factors of social capital are identified as the most important factor in the quality of life and residents’ attitudes. In addition, the differences in socio-cultural factor of quality of life and residents’ attitude between two groups are identified by comparison with the relationship between two groups, although the explanatory power of both groups is not high. To achieve a successful rural tourism based on the result of this study, rural tourism should consider the regional and demographic characteristics, such as age, occupations and education and so on. The major contribution of this study is to confirm that the impact of social capital on the residents’ perception would be different by regions in comparison with two groups, and it will be able to provide useful implication for the rural tourism development in the future.
