A Preliminary Discussion on the Tourism Resource Development of Local Oral Content - Focusing on the Possibility of Applying the Convergent Concepts of Cultural Memory, Oral Culture, and Storytelling

This study organized the concepts of cultural memory, oral culture, and storytelling for tourism resource development of local oral content, and discussed how these concepts can be integrated and applied to the tourism development process of local communities at a preliminary level. The prototype of local oral content can be a combination of various factual and virtual implementations of cultural memory members of a local community share. Local oral content transmits and preserves collective knowledge through cultural memory, helping establish the cultural identity of humans. Oral content based on a specific local culture has the characteristic of a convergent cultural content that combines academic concepts such as literature, history, art, and philosophy. The storytelling plays a role in mediating various humanistic concepts in the process of developing local oral content into tourism resources. The storytelling process helps various social products with orality to be interpreted by human memory, given special cultural meanings, and established as a unique oral culture of the region. As part of the preliminary study for tourism resource development of local oral content, the study on the concepts of implementing a convergence knowledge ecosystem related to cultural memory, oral culture, and storytelling is significant as an academic study based on the humanities.
