한국에서의 문화유산 개념 확장 경향과 특징 분석: 문화유산 관련 법제의 제정 및 개정을 중심으로

Abstract

Recently, the concept of cultural heritage has expanded in Korea. The concept of cultural heritage is defined by three domains composed of range of types, range of times, and range of protection objects. Therefore the concept expansion of cultural heritage means the expansion of the three domains. The purpose of this paper is to analyze tendencies and characters of the concept expansion of cultural heritage in Korea through researching enactments and reforms of the laws related to cultural heritage. And this paper also aims to propose the development direction of the laws related to cultural heritage. The analysis results are as follows; Properties can be recognized as cultural heritages in all times of history. Range of types has expanded. And range of protection objects also has expanded. But Some assets can be acknowledged duplicately as Architectural Asset and Future Heritage. The lowly-valued tangible assets forming before modern times with the exception of architectural assets cannot be recognized as cultural heritages. And negative heritage is not in range of protection objects. For the development direction of the laws related to cultural heritage, this paper proposes that cultural property protection law related to highly-valued cultural heritage should be reformed, and cultural heritage protection law related to lowly-valued cultural heritage should be enacted.
