버내큘러 디자인 개념을 적용한 지역 관광안내소 공간디자인 현황 연구

Tourism trends have changed due to COVID-19, and as a result, interest in natural tourist attractions has increased. Currently, tourism information centers in Korea are changing a lot in terms of content, but they are still insufficient in terms of architectural design. It is operated with a uniform and uncharacteristic design, and this problem damages the surrounding landscape and becomes a factor that halves the attractiveness of tourist attractions. The purpose of this study is to suggest the design direction of the tourist information center space, which can be a tourist resource as a core facility of the tourist destination by reflecting the natural environment and socio-cultural characteristics of the region in terms of architectural space. Through literature research, it was found that the tourist information center not only delivers tourism information, but also plays a role in connecting tourists and tourists, tourists and regions, regions and regions to obtain synergy. As such, the tourist information center should serve as a core facility, so it should be a space that can best represent the image of the region. As a method for this, we proposed the concept of a Vernacular design as a theoretical framework that can reflect the cultural and natural environmental characteristics of the region in space. By synthesizing previous studies on the Vernacular design, it was classified into endemic in natural environmental factors and traditional and popular in socio-cultural factors. The current range was set as a local tourist information center for natural tourist destinations where there are many tourism resources but people do not go well or do not know well, and three were selected and analyzed based on the expression characteristics of the Vernacular design. As a regional tourism hub facility, the tourist information center should play a landmark role, and thus the tourist information center should be a design tourist information center that applies the concept of a Vernacular design considering natural environmental and socio-cultural characteristics so that can become a tourism resource beyond information delivery.
