Field notes
The interface models a festival as a set of scored programs distributed across one-hour intervals and geographic zones. It asks for a five-digit municipality code and allows a visitor-data window of up to seven days. The site says its comparison layer uses national cultural-festival data, while tourism information is retrieved from the Korea Tourism Data Lab API and divided among local, outside, and foreign visitors.
