• Consuming food in pre-industrial Korean travel: approaching from Veblen´s conspicuous consumption 

      Lee, Young-Sook (Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-02-02)
      The chapter considered Thorstein Veblen’s description of conspicuous consumption in the context of consuming food while travelling. Travelogues from pre-industrial Korean society were used for the data in the chapter, employing critical discourse analysis. The identified meanings were subsequently reflected on Veblen’s conspicuous consumption. Two embedded notions of instrumental and intrinsic values ...
    • Cross-cultural co-creation of a tourist site: the emic and etic makings 

      Lee, Young-Sook; Mathisen, Line; Søreng, Siri Ulfsdatter (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-10-17)
      This chapter discusses how an Arctic destination, North Cape, is co-created through time and space aided by tourists' engagement. We present two cases: (1) Thai visitors to the North Cape; and (2) North Cape as a brand in South Korea, drawing on qualitative methods. We argue that cross-cultural co-creation in tourism experiences depends on the knowledge of different emic and etic perceptions of the ...
    • EISCAT Observation of Wave‐Like Fluctuations in Vertical Velocity of Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes Associated With a Geomagnetic Disturbance 

      Lee, Young-Sook; Kim, Young Ha; Kim, Kyung-Chan; Kwak, Young-Sil; Sergiengko, Timothy; Kirkwood, Sheila; Johnsen, Magnar Gullikstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-04)
      By analyzing a data set from the European Incoherent SCATter (EISCAT) Very High Frequency (VHF) radar at Tromsø, we find that both radar reflectivity and upward ion velocity in a polar mesospheric summer echo (PMSE) layer simultaneously increased at the commencement of a local geomagnetic disturbance, which occurred at midnight on 9 July 2013. The onset of the upward velocity was followed by periodic ...
    • Experiencing the Arctic in the Past: French Visitors to Finnmark in the Late 1700s and Early 1800s 

      Guissard, Isabelle; Lee, Young-Sook (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)
      This chapter traces three elite French visitors to northern Norway who travelled there long before the area began receiving attention as a tourist destination per se. Drawing on archival records and relevant literature, it recounts the travel experiences of the three visitors, who showed interest in the Arctic environment and its people in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The first story comes ...
    • Japanese tourists’ relatedness and connectedness with nature 

      Prebensen, Nina Katrine; Lee, Young-Sook; Kim, Hyelin Lina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-15)
      Nature-based tourism continues to gain importance globally. Research on sustainability claims that disconnection between nature and humanity may contribute to the environmental problems that we face in the 21st century. It is, thus, quintessential to better understand the underlying variables for sustainable behaviour in a tourism context. Research suggests scales on nature relatedness (NRS) and ...
    • Tracing Shintoism in Japanese nature-based domestic tourism experiences 

      Lee, Young-Sook; Sakuno, Seiichi; Prebensen, Nina K.; Kimura, Kazuhiko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-12)
      This study explores into Japanese cultural meaning of nature. The paper studies Japanese domestic tourists to a mountain trail near Tokyo. East Asian concept of nature distinctively identifies itself as a unity between nature and humanity. To gain a more defining understanding of Shintoism-inspired meaning of nature, we surveyed on the meaning of nature, experiences and benefits sought and ...
    • Value creation and co-creation experiences: an East Asian cultural knowledge framework approach 

      Lee, Young-Sook; Prebensen, Nina Katrine (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)
      This chapter proposes an 'East Asian cultural knowledge framework' based on the main East Asian cultural philosophies and revisits some previous study findings in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the East Asian tourist behaviours. The proposed framework is expected to inform researchers on, at fundamental level, the tourists' value creation and co-creation and East Asian tourists' ...
