이정희 Yi Jung-hee
Abstract
The entrepreneurial spirits and well-organized laws in Korea drove her to get out of poverty and dependence. Korea is growing as an respected member of international community for 21C global society. I think Korea should create her unique brands based on Korean cultures to overcome Korean brands weakness. As an action plan to execute this project, there are some ways like held international events, promoting tourism business, exporting the newest cultural products, oversea PRs and increasing investment. Korea need economic ability as well as cultural one to get over the tough waves of globalization. Korea tourism supports were started when the special tourist zone regulations were introduced in 1933. Now there are 24 ones in 13 cities and provinces at the end of June, 2007 after the ones were firstly appointed in Jeju-do, Kyungju-si, Seolak mountain and yusung in Daejeon in 1994 and Jongro, Chunggae were added in 2006. Even though many foreign travelers have visited these special tourist zone and the tourist zones have been formulating as courses with increased popularity, they are having troubles in getting exact information because of clumsy signboards and too flowery advertising things. So Korea should rearrange those signboards for foreign travelers who visit the places to easily get information. To solve these problems, Korea should innovate the processes of information delivery for the travelers who visit the zones and design the symbolization signboards of tourist spot characters. And then install the signboards. So this thesis aims to research and analyze the status of Orientational & Directional Sign System and propose the ways of sings improvements in the center of Insa-dong, Etaewon, Wealmi-do and soyo-mountain in Kyungido so that users can easily recognize the ones. Of course, it is for visual harmonization as well.
