Introduction
Movies constitute a form of mass culture that can be easily accessed by anyone. The movie market is currently growing at a rapid speed, following the dramatic development of the cultural industry in the 20th century. Although the driving force behind such growth can be attributed to the development of the Korean movie industry itself, both in quantitative and qualitative terms, the expansion and increase of movie-watching facilities along with movie theaters also have an important interactive function. In this process, the multiplex theater, which was triggered by the launch of Gangbyeon CGV in 1998, has particularly become the representative type of movie-watching facility in the movie industry. The number of multiplex theaters has increased to 270 in 2013, making up 81.1% of the total number of theaters in Korea, with 94.9% proportion of the total screen numbers (Korea Film Council, 2013). Compared with the previous single-screen theaters, these multiplex theaters are able to increase the number of theaters with smaller size. As a result, the flexible management of screens has become possible according to the box-office record. This type of theater has also brought several spatial changes in movie watching culture for both suppliers and consumers. For example, linking theaters with diverse programs in line with the movement of viewers in the spaces used according to different viewing times. This study classifies domestic multiplex theaters and selects representative cases to conduct quantitative analysis on each space of usage to understand the relationship between space of usage and its spatial characteristics according to multiplex types.
Studies have been previously conducted on changes in the spatial configuration of the multiplex. Many other related studies have also been conducted on multiplex space organizations, such as those by Na (2001) and Kim (2001), and those conducted on service spaces and waiting spaces by Woo et al. (2001), Yun (2003), and See (2006). However, studies conducted to date are mostly generalized and address content related to the functions of spaces, such as space area programming or space arrangement plans. Furthermore, introducing these studies to actual multiplex project plans or remodeling plans is limited. In particular, although service spaces in multiplexes are spaces for multi-use facilities toxins strongly express the characteristics and images of multiplexes, most studies have focused only on material finishes in the sector of interior design or space arrangement plans. Moreover, further studies are insufficient.
Overview of multiplex theaters
Quantitative data collection
Analysis of space of usage according to theater and circulation system
Based on the analysis results, a comparative analysis was conducted on the characteristics and relationship of each space of usage according to the multiplex type. Among the three standards discussed in Section 2.3, the classification according to the theater and circulation system was chosen as the classification standard for multiplex types. For better comparative analysis of each space of usage, the space of usage in each case was further classified into four: lobby, entrance, exit, and subsidiary facilities.
