Abstract

Recently, the administrative areas related to cultural assets have gradually been divided into sections. Since the Act on the Protection of Cultural Properties has been enacted, independent organizations related to cultural assets have been established, and relevant laws have been divided into categories. While reflecting the changing circumstances, it also reflects the current cultural policy challenges of preserving and utilizing historical and cultural heritage. The purpose of this study is to review the definition of monuments of the article 2, clause 3 of the Cultural Properties Protection Act, which can be called as the parent law of cultural property policies, with consideration for the fact that the Cultural Properties Protection Act has a vague and broad legal framework for the definition and classification of cultural properties. In particular, it deals with the issue of whether natural objects which is the same as natural monuments and scenic sites can become cultural products in light of the general concept of culture. As a result of the study, these concept definitions are as follows:First, the details of ‘monument’, ‘pure nature’ in clause ‘Na’ and ‘Da’, and ‘natural environment’ of monuments are separated as natural heritage, It is necessary to divide the legal system into concepts such as scenic beauty.
