“…In order for older visitors to remind themselves of their childhood memories, some take pictures of the main gates of the village and alleys. Tourists with various needs (Hwang & Yoon, 2016) sympathize with the works of art and unique scenery of Gamcheon. They take a benefit from feeling superior in their pictures taken from these intriguing spaces:Our children don't know about this kind of village … they all live in apartments … In fact, it's very strange to see the existence of this village.…”
This study aims to interpret the relationships among the various actors (human including residents, tourists, artists, and so on, and non‐human environments including blogs, topographical features, and destination images) at a tourist site, in which those actors come together. Using the perspectives of actor‐network theory, the research observes how networks surrounding destinations are formed and changed by human and non‐human actors. It was discovered that once a tourism‐industry‐directed network had been newly introduced, the actors actively participated in network activities to achieve continuing benefits greater than those that would have been possible without this network.
