ABSTRACT

Recently, the two Koreas are also seeking new relations. This study pays attention to the fact that these domestic and international changes provide an opportunity to expand research on the DMZ in the Korean Peninsula, and has approached the space of the DMZ as a landscape from a more specific and realistic perspective. First, the Cold War landscape of the Korean DMZ has historical and political significance in that it is the last remaining site in the history of the Cold War. It is also as a barrier that divides North and South Korea, and a symbolic location for the peace process on the Korean Peninsula. Second, the ecological landscape of the DMZ suggests that it has the potential to function as a core ecological axis in the Korean Peninsula due to its natural attributes. Lastly, the cultural significance of the DMZ as a symbolic space representing the people’s aspirations for peace is being transformed through various cultural and educational programs. This paper confirms that the space of the Korean DMZ is gradually changing its significance from a Cold War landscape to a landscape of cultural symbols representing people’s wish for peace.

摘要

最近，两国也正在寻求新的关系。这项研究关注以下事实：这些国内外变化为扩大朝鲜半岛DMZ的研究提供了机会，并且从更具体和现实的角度探讨了DMZ的空间。首先，朝鲜非军事区的冷战景观具有历史和政治意义，因为它是冷战历史上仅存的遗迹。它也是分隔北朝鲜和南朝鲜的障碍，也是朝鲜半岛和平进程的象征性位置。其次，DMZ的生态景观表明，由于其自​​然属性，DMZ有潜力作为朝鲜半岛的核心生态轴。最后，非军事区作为代表人民对和平的愿望的象征性空间的文化意义正在通过各种文化和教育计划而改变。本文证实，朝鲜非军事区的空间正在逐渐从冷战景观转变为代表人们对和平的愿望的文化符号景观。
