N2 - Employing Collective Memory Theory, Spatial Identity, and Interaction Design, Dongdaemun Market can be viewed as both a Material ‘Memory Space’ and a Digital Platform where meanings are produced over Time, Culture, and Media. Using these frameworks, Participatory Governance, Ritual Integration, and Adaptive Multilingual Interfaces are presented as conditions for the Continued Existence of Authentic, Community-Authored Memory in the Face of Commercialisation, Gentrification, and Superficial Preservation Models. Based on an Existence-Based Theoretical Perspective, this Study argues that Digital Heritage Systems (DHS) Do Not Simply Represent Pre-Existing Cultural Memory but Instead Actively Participate in the ongoing creation, Circulation, and Negotiation of Cultural Memory. Therefore, the Proposed Approach Re-conceptualises DHS as an Existential Infrastructure to Support Living, Contested and Cross-Cultural Memory Practices Rather Than as a Neutral Repository of De-Contextualised Artefacts.
