Since fireflies are considered to be insects that come from green or clean regions, many local festivals are held around the country. Fireflies in Muju, Chonbuk, Mt. Gyeyang in Incheon, Anter Village in Chungbuk, and O-chang Chungbuk (Chungbuk Agricultural Research Extension Services) are the most popular festivals. In the case of O-chang, Chungbuk, we looked at the possibility of fireflies succeeding as a local festival. The O-chang Firefly Festival was held from June 1, 2018 to June 5, 2018, marking the ninth anniversary of the Firefly Festival as the topic of “Firefly·Insect industry Festival.” Firefly (Luciola lateralis, the larvae are aquatic) is a main exhibiting insect. About 30 living species of aquatic insects, attracting insects, agricultural insects, and edible insects, and insect photo artwork were displayed. The event was organized not only watch, but also experience for making various insect models, such as cooking insects and a exhibition of illustrated poems of insect subjects. In addition, they performed special stage performances such as bubble shows, magic shows, puppet shows, and insect movies to watch while waiting. As a result, the number of visitors increased 67 percent year-on-year to 21,700 this year. It is considered a success by relieving visitors of various free attractions and experiences.

The purpose of this study is to consider the relation between the deciding factors of local identity and local image improvement. To achieve this purpose, the deciding factors of local identity have been set as the following four: historical identity, cultural identity, (nature) scenery identity, and industrial identity. The writer has established a model to represent the relation between these factors and the local image improvement, namely 'Visitor Satisfaction' and 'Revisit Intentions', and framed a hypothesis for empirical verification. The study results are as follows: First, the deciding factors of local identity which this study addressed are empirically proven to have a significant effect on the visitor satisfaction and the intention to revisit in which is it likely that the greater the impact of the deciding factors, the higher the visitor satisfaction and revisit intentions would be. Second, the deciding factors of local identity, it appears that the 'historical identity' factor had the largest impact on the visitor satisfaction, and the 'cultural identity' factor had the largest impact on the revisit intentions. Therefore, of the four deciding factors, the 'historical identity' should be considered the highest priority to increase the visitor satisfaction, and the 'cultural identity' should be considered the highest priority to increase the revisit intentions. Third, based on the verification of the relation between the visitor satisfaction and revisit intentions, it can be presumed that the greater the visitor satisfaction, the higher the revisit intentions would be.

This study aims to introduce the local festival sponsored by KOTRA (Korea Trade- Investment Promotion Agency) in Banteay Meanchey Province in Cambodia, find that the vitalization strategies that allow the local festival concept to be used as a new rural development strategy alternative, and share those strategies with other donor countries and agencies that may want to implement something similar. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis was utilized to derive the internal and external factors found in the process of planning and promoting a local festival. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis was employed to prioritize the factors derived from SWOT analysis. These results would lead to the establishment of applicable vitalization strategies. The vitalized local festival can be a tremendous resource for rural regions in Cambodia by helping maintain the rural societies, support the inheritance of their cultural legacies, and provide additional outlets to sustain local development. Acting as sponsors of these strategies will help donors strengthen the ties and construct international cooperation partnerships with Cambodia.

본 연구의 목적은 계획행동이론을 적용하여 양양송이축제 방문객들의 축제 방문 의사결과정을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 방문동기의 구조적 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 계획행동이론에 대한 분석 결과 지각된 행동통제감은 행동의도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 태도 또한 행동의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 주관적 규범은 행동의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 행동의도와 관련된 축제 방문객들의 의사결정 과정과 연구와 양양송이 축제의 지속가능한 발전에 의미 있는 시사점을 제시할 것으로 기대된다.

This study analyzed purchasing characteristics of local agricultural products and processed products as well as evaluatedoperation programs for Changnyeon festival participants.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among recognition, preference, and purchasing characteristics for Changnyeong onions and garlic as well as festival satisfaction among participants at agricultural product festivals in the Changnyeong region. Results showed that festival satisfaction of ‘place of festival’ was highest while ‘convenience facility & event contents’ earned the lowest scores. Most subjects (90.5%) had purchased Changnyeong agricultural and processed products. A major purchasing type was fresh agricultural products (66.7%).

The most considered factors for purchasing regional products were ‘geographical origin’ and ‘ingredients’. Changnyeong onion showed higher scores for recognition and preference and rate of purchase experience and intention than for garlic. The correlation coefficients of recognition and preference for onion and galic were 0.603 (p<0.001) and 0.598 (p<0.001), respectively. The explanation power (R2) of related variables for purchase of Changnyeong onions was 0.258. The regression coefficients (β) for ‘recognition’, ‘preference’ and ‘convenient facility & event contents’ were positive, whereas the regression coefficient for ‘price’ was negative. Recognition, preference, and convenient facility & event contents with garlic purchase showed a positive relationship (R2=0.253).

삼척의 이사부 축제는 지역적 연고가 있던 이사부라는 역사인물을 현대의 축제의 소재로 활용함으로써 대내적으로는 지역을 대표하는 인물임을 부각시켰으며, 대외적으로는 독도를 비롯한 영토수호의 역사인물임을 드러냄으로써 범지역적 축제로 확산시키는 효과를 창출해 내었다. 이 연구의 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 첫째, 우륵의 12기에 나타난 사자연행과 이사부의 목사자 전투는 진흥왕 이전 신라사회에 사자문화의 유입으로 볼 수 있다. 또한 신라의 통용된 사자연행예술은 전쟁에서 강력한 무기로 존재했다. 따라서 이사부가 우산국 정벌에서 사용한 목사자는 당대에 신라에 유통된 외래문화였으며, 이후 사자는 여러 연행예술로 발전된 것이다. 둘째, 이사부의 우산국 정벌에서는 사자탈과 같은 이동형 목각양식이 이용되었다. 이것은 이사부의 해군부대가 우산국 전투에서 목사자의 전술을 추구하기 위해서는 근거리에 접근하여야 했기 때문에, 고정형 목각양식으로는 우산국 사람들을 속일 수 없었기 때문이다. 따라서 이사부의 목사자는 고정형 목각양식이 아니라, 탈과 같은 이동형 목각양식을 추구했음을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 이사부는 삼척 강릉지방의 지역사와 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있는 인물이다. 그는 과거 강릉단오제에 모셔졌을 뿐만 아니라 현재 삼척 오분동 마을에서도 모셔지고 있다. 이렇듯 1500년 전 역사인물 이사부는 지금까지 삼척 지역에서 신격화 되어 숭앙받는 역사적 인물인 것이다. 따라서 이사부 축제는 삼척 지역의 지역사를 기반으로 하고 있으며, 이는 축제의 이념적기반 위에서 형성되었음을 알 수 있다. 넷째, 삼척시는 이사부 축제를 국가의 외교문제와 연관시킴으로써 국가와 연계할 수 있는 계기가 마련하였다. 이사부의 우산국 정벌은 울릉도를 생활권으로 하고 있는 독도를 포함하는 것으로서 2005년 일본의 다케시마(독도)의 날 재정으로 고조된 한일 외교문제와 연관된다. 따라서 삼척시는 축제에서 이사부의 소재를 독도 및 해양에 확장시킴으로써 축제향유 계층을 국민으로 확장시켰으며, 더불어 국가차원의 지원 계기를 마련함으로써 축제의 경제적 기반을 구축하고자 하였다. 이렇듯 삼척시의 이사부 축제는 기존의 지역 역사인물을 발굴하여 연결시킨 결과물이다. 이 과정에서 투영된 자치단체의 축제화는 이사부를 포장하는 데 그친 것이 아니라, 지역 경제 활성화라는 취지 아래 다양한 국가사업과 연계함으로써 지역의 문화기반을 마련하게 된 모범 사례라 할 수 있다.

To this end, the analysis and interpretation of spatial structure was conducted using space syntax. The results of the study showed that the entire structure of the space formed in the axis of a total of 200.
