摘要：This study looks into cultural characteristics of book cafes emerging in the Hongdae area and methods for the effective use of cultural space through the cases of Potato Flower Studio in Gangwon-do and of the changes of two markets 'Gwangjang Market' and 'Tongin Market' in Seoul. The cultural space is generally acknowledged as a place or facility where citizens can appreciate culture and arts or they can create or educate cultural products in life. As a potential space in the cultural space of a city, book cafes should be developed into a cultural space which can be easily accessed by publishers, Korean readers, and foreigners. It is required that a book cafe acts as a local community space with its characteristics, that is, a complex culture space. To find a utilization plan for book cafes, we conducted a comparative study with 'Potato Flower Studio' in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do which is the place connecting successfully with regional culture of the area. The cultural space should be changed to meet the needs of the time. This study investigates various methodologies to create a cultural space.
