This paper begins with a premise that it will help understand better Itaewon as a multicultural space to analyse characteristics of Itaewon as a religious area. The range of Itaewon considered in this study is from Itaewon 1dong and 2dong, Hanman dong to Bokwang dong. The reason why the four areas are put together as Itaewon is because they share cultural characteristics (cultural hybridity) of a multicultural space. The research has focused on religious groups that are registered in Itaewon and six organizations that are in activity such as Sharmanism, Christianity, Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, and Yipjeongkyosunghoi(在家佛敎韓國立正佼成會). Itaewon has developed as a multicultural space of various foods, streets, religions according to cultures, languages, and religions that have been brought into by different ethnics groups. In particular, the establishment of various religious organizations has formed a religious area in multicultural space. The formation and enlargement of religious area can be understood to mean that religious organizations are spreading their religious beliefs. On the basis of the analysis of religious map in Itaewon, this papers examines that each religious group enlarges their beliefs by understanding their own religion, other religions, Itaewon as a multicultural area, and immigrants of the area, etc. The characteristics of Itaewon as a multicultural area can be summed up in three points. First, as Itaewon is transformed into a multicultural area, each religious organization spreads their beliefs by strengthening or modifying their religious rituals. Second, there is change in understanding other religions in the area. Third, in comparison to multicultural space of other areas, religious activities in Itaewon are less active towards its immigrants. The multicultural characteristics of Itaewon at the current times can be observed through shops in streets and the central association of Islam. This shows that the multicultural characteristics of Itaewon are developed by immigrant labourers rather than immigrant women on marriage. Thus, it is expected that religious groups in Itaewon would focus on immigrant la ourers for the enlargement of their beliefs. This kind of response by religious groups would play an important role in changing the religious map in Itaewon. This study is only a introductory essay on the issue, and leaves further study in detail for later.

서울학연구소는 ‘서울학’을 육성, 확산하기 위해 서울 600년을 계기로 하여 1993년 서울특별시의 지원 아래 서울시립대학교 부설로 설립되었습니다.
서울학의 연구대상은 도시 서울입니다.
서울학은 서울의 장소, 사람, 일, 문화를 만들어내고 변화시키는 과정과 힘을 탐구하여 서울이 지닌 도시적 보편성과 특수성을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 서울학여느 종합적 관점을 견지하면서 학제적 연구를 지향합니다.
서울에 대한 여러 기성학문 분야(역사학, 지리학, 사회학, 인류학, 경제학, 건축 및 도시계획학등)의 연구관심과 성과가 상호조명되고 교차되는 데에 서울학에 영역이 있습니다.
서울학의 학문적 관심은 오늘의 서울을 만들어낸 역사적 과정을 이해하는 데에 있지만, 그 실천적 관심은 현재의 서울에 대한 심화된 성찰을 통해 보다 나은 서울의 미래를 그리는데에 있습니다.
