전통문화축제의 내실화방안 연구

Abstract

Since 1995, the Local autonomy era has opened, local festivals have been increasing throughout the country. Traditional culture festivals are also increasing. Performing traditional culture festivals is effective for maintenance and transmission of traditional culture as well as creation and nurturing of local culture. They are also effective promoting local economy. Depending on realization level of character, place and costume based on historic research, traditional culture festivals are classified as the “Representation event” or the “Reenactment event”. But there are two problems. The first is unexacting classification method for festival types made by Central government yearly. The second is unable to meet one of two goals which are protecting traditional culture and stimulating local economy throughout increasing tourists. The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement of classification method for festival types, and to offer two suggestions for ensure successful local festivals. First of all, I suggest advanced classification method for festival types. For more sophisticated collection process of national festival status, local government department should ensure purpose of festivals, and central government department should add 3 steps to existing process. For example professional committee for judgement of festival types should be founded for consulting of local and central government department. The second suggestion is reinforcement of historic research for the Representation of traditional culture event. The representation of traditional culture should focus on protection of tradition, and could be perfect by continuous historic research. The last suggestion is cooperation with local governments each other for the Reenactment of traditional culture event. The Reenactment of traditional culture should focus on promoting local economy by increasing tourists. So local governments who have similar traditional events should cooperate to get preventing loss of resource and overcome weakness of promoting.
