  • PARK-DISSERTATION-2017.Pdf
    © 2017 Sanghun Park EXPLORING GLOBAL AND LOCAL INTERSECTIONS AT A PROSPECTIVE WORLD HERITAGE SITE IN SOUTH KOREA: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT BY SANGHUN PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Recreation, Sport and Tourism in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Carla A. Santos, Chair Professor B. Christine Green Professor Helaine Silverman Associate Professor Lynne M. Dearborn ABSTRACT To date, there has been a lack of research examining the process of developing a World Heritage Site (WHS), in particular from a global-local perspective. Consequently, very little is known about the relationships and dynamic interactions between global priorities and local needs for development. Moreover, relatively little attention has been devoted to studying the views of local communities in and around WHSs, as well as their perceptions of the challenges and opportunities that occur from tourism development and WHS designation. This dissertation employs the theoretical lens of glocalization and focuses on the local perspective in the context of Naganeupseong, a prospective WHS in South Korea. Naganeupseong is a Korean traditional historic folk village dating from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The village is surrounded by a fortress wall which prevents outsiders from having an open access to the site (they need to pay an entrance fee to look around the village). Inside the fortress, 288 people actually live in 150 households. Within this context, this study explores the intersection of the global and the local and the negotiations between the representatives of those two perspectives in the process of constructing and negotiating heritage, a process that is inherently dynamic, contingent and contested.
