A Study on Awareness of Cultural Diversity in D-gu, Seoul Using Big Data Analysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of cultural diversity in D-gu, Seoul, using big data analysis. Currently, Korean society is a multicultural society in which various minority groups such as people with disabilities and sexual minorities live together in addition to members from other regions such as foreign workers, marriage migrants, and North Korean refugees. Against this backdrop, cultural diversity should be recognised as a resource for individual and collective enrichment as a common heritage of mankind, as well as a benefit for current and future generations, and cultural diversity should be promoted for peaceful coexistence and interaction among various members. This study is divided into three time periods: 2018-2019, 2020-2021, and 2022-2023, and the source of data for this study is a database of Korean media articles. The keywords were ‘cultural diversity’, ‘minorities’, and ‘culture art’. As a result, a total of 6883 articles were analysed. Based on these results, the implications for the perception of cultural diversity in Seoul's D-gu are discussed.
