관광학 연구를 위한 현상학적 접근들: 이론적 토대부터 연구 도구까지

초록

Phenomenology is employed extensively, giving rise to a multitude of divergent interpretations. Phenomenology serves as the foundational perspective underpinning all qualitative approaches, a kind of philosophy, and a specific research method. This study aims to present phenomenology in an accessible manner to tourism researchers, and in turn, to enhance its appeal for research concerning tourism experiences. The article initiates by situating phenomenology within the broader context of qualitative research paradigms. Afterwards, two widely known streams of philosophical phenomenology, Husserlian and Heideggerian, were introduced, followed by an exploration of two research methodologies by Giorgi and van Manen who applied philosophical phenomenology for data collection and analysis within the realm of social sciences. The versatility of phenomenology becomes evident through its diverse applications. Finally, to exemplify the achievement of coherence across the main parts of a research paper, we delved into two recent tourism studies that each employed either Giorgi's or van Manen's methodological approach. In the first study, phenomenology mainly served as a analytical tool, while in the second, it constituted the fundamental framework shaping the researcher's perspective. Improving cohesion in research papers empowers researchers to engage in profound qualitative inquiries. The discourse also emphasizes how doing a phenomenological research in practice could significantly contribute to the scholarly advancement in the field of tourism.
