receiving information on one or more avatar spaces, wherein the one or more avatar spaces are associated with at least one of a place and an event, wherein the one or more avatar spaces are created based on a 360-degree view, and wherein the 360-degree view is a pre-stored street-view obtained by capturing images of surroundings of a real place; and
in response to a user input selecting the information on the one or more avatar spaces, outputting a first avatar space that is created such that an avatar of a first user account associated with a user terminal is placed in a 360-degree view image associated with at least one of the place and the event,
wherein the avatar of the first user account is placed in a predetermined area in the 360-degree view image, and
wherein the method further comprises:
in response to a user input selecting a movement-related arrow indication in the 360-degree view image in the first avatar space, outputting a second avatar space in which map information of the 360-degree view image is changed while the avatar of the first user account remains placed in the predetermined area;
prior to outputting the first avatar space, receiving candidate parts to be applied to the avatar of the first user account, wherein the candidate parts are associated with at least one of the first avatar space and a current viewpoint; and
in response to a user input selecting one of the received candidate parts, outputting a third avatar space comprising an avatar applied with the selected one of the received candidate parts.
