The purpose of this study is to look into characteristics of change in solidarity among members of communities by artificially transforming living space into a tourism destination. Gamcheon 2-dong village in Busan was selected as the research target site for the sake of this study. This study principally suggests that although tourism development may be helpful to the development of community, the relationship among community members gets divided into two parts. Subsequently, there can be negative consequences hindering the development of community. Living space is a home in which local residents lead their own lives and it is maintained through their social relationships, but such relationships can be broken due to excessively transforming their living space into a tourism destination. Tourists temporarily share living space with that of local residents, and the majority of them lead their lives oblivious to any tourism. Therefore, the identity of the primary living space of local residents should be preserved. Choosing tourism development as the only alternative for community development should be avoided.
