A Case Study of Human Resource Development: F. Chopin, the Poet of Piano

Chopin is one of the greatest composers and pianists in history. Such a great man may well be pride of his mother country. Warsaw of Poland has tried to utilize local resources regarding Chopin in many ways. For example, in 2010, as the city of Warsaw acknowledged the importance of Chopin as a means of promoting the city image, the city connected Chopin with its cultural history by mapping a trail of “Chopin’s Benches” around the city where he spent the early years of his life. This study aims to understand how effectively the place can be connected with local cultural resources by looking through the places regarding Chopin, dotted around the city. On a perspective of economic revitalization, this study also tries to focus on a sense of place in order to develop local cultural contents and apply them to the local community.
