The Island Traffic to the Construction of Marine Society on the Sight of Media

From the perspective of media, this paper aims to study how Island traffic constructs a modern marine society. Using the research paradigm of social definition, the paper investigates the spatial production and interpersonal reconstruction of the port shore system centered on the traffic network of Xiamen ferry traffic, seawall traffic, roundabout road and Wutong wharf. It is found that island traffic connects the interaction between ocean and land and creates the meaning of a new island; Island traffic links up the emotional relationship with Taiwan to create the political implication and social connotation of marine culture; Island traffic constructs the local spiritual production of marine culture for the world cultural heritage. The important conclusion of the study is that as an important medium of marine society, the essence of island traffic lies in the reproduction and reconstruction of marine society between physical traffic, cultural tourism space and virtual space through human feelings.
