민속마을 보호․지정제도의 문제점 및 방향

Abstract

The folk village designation is based on the cultural properties protection law but ground principle is conservation concept of architecture, it can not accept varying life needs, and Folk cultural asset worth is rapidly destroyed to make problems in situation where policies focus on the building as property. The Cultural Heritage Administration conducted “The study on the foundation of diversify way and designation of the folk village” in order to find ways to preserve tradition, acknowledge the diversity of the folk villages, extend the scope of cultural property designation to prevent the further demage progress. The study also put 50villages in each region on the list by experts where are relatively good landscape and folk traditions, afterwards 7 villages were selected to the recommended folk villages for the designation according diversifying the folk villages. In the Japanese traditional village protection and management system, the voluntary works by inhabitants are more active rather than compulsion by the law and the plan. Also the system of folk village designation has the eight types of classification. In the case of China, it has wide range of cultural heritage conservation in perpendicular and horizontal law system based on the constitution. So China maintains traditional village based on institutional and delicate system. Chilseok Village is recommended to designate one of folk villages where has passed down traditional play ‘Gossaum’ and held ‘New year’s full moon festival’ with diverse cultural assets. However the villager had final inadequate judgment, even though they have handed down the intangible cultural properties steadily, because there are neither distinct traditional tile roofed houses nor traditional land scape. The reason why the fundamental research result was ignored is that legal basis and standards of the folk village designation are not clear as well as when the personnel reshuffled, the policy perspective was unstable. The villagers and researchers are disgruntled and wait next chances. As the direction of future policy, the legal framework needs to be established to suit our situation accurately. The competent department belong to the modern cultural heritage division, charging for folk village designation, should be adjusted and arranged up to cultural heritage’s characters such as it could be divided to ‘preservation district of Traditional Buildings’ in architecture part and ‘preservation district of folk culture’ in living folk part, It could be effective management system and diversify designation of the folk villages.
