Research on Promoting Uijeongbu's Regional Characteristics and Cultural Arts Resources Using Digital Human Technology

(Purpose) This study investigated the use of digital human technology as a way to not only preserve Uijeongbu's local culture and arts, but also to publicize the characteristics of the region and share the unique culture and arts of the region globally. (Design/methodology/approach) To analyze the cultural and artistic resources of Uijeongbu City, municipal overview and statistical data related to Uijeongbu City, data on cultural city selection, Uijeongbu Cultural Foundation, and Uijeongbu Art and Music Library were collected and categorized according to the purpose of the study. To promote Uijeongbu's local characteristics, culture, and arts to various countries, we used digital human technology to translate and then create digital humans. (Findings) Recently, Uijeongbu City was selected as a statutory cultural city and is transforming into a city that citizens want to stay in, with a vision of a city that citizens remember and citizens who prepare for the future. Uijeongbu is well equipped with various programs and large-scale facilities to support citizens' cultural activities. The Uijeongbu Art Library and Music Library are representative spaces, and with the belief that changes in space can change the culture of libraries, change the lives of citizens, and become a driving force for regional growth, they are positioning themselves as libraries where knowledge, culture, and relaxation coexist. It has gone a step further from the role of a public library and is making new attempts to converge culture and libraries as a public platform. (Research implications or Originality) The Uijeongbu Cultural City Support Center is conducting various cultural programs to promote the Uijeongbu Cultural City project after it was selected, and through this, it is expected to welcome an era of culture and arts where diverse cultures coexist, where artistic imagination and creativity blossom into culture, and where emotional communication is important, where youth dynamism and cultural diversity coexist. In order to create a cultural city where culture becomes life, the city is revitalizing the city by expanding various infrastructures in the cultural field and discovering and supporting cultural contents to reflect the creativity and emotional communication of various citizens. If digital human technology is well utilized to promote Uijeongbu's local cultural and artistic assets globally, it is expected that Uijeongbu City can become a center for local cultural arts where people can enjoy culture.
