‘물 문화유산’의 특징과 의미－영산강의 사례를 중심으로－

Abstract

The importance of the ‘water’ environment, such as the UN Sustainable Development Conference (2012) and the 17th IWRA International Water Resources Association (2021), is shared in these international organizations. This article examines the cultural characteristics and meanings of water as a cultural heritage and a cultural resource in a socio-cultural context, from the perspective of water as a cultural heritage and water as a cultural resource, in relation to the history and culture of river, with special reference to the Youngsangang(Youngsan River), one of Korea’s representative rivers. The topic of this article is ‘Water as a Cultural Heritage and Youngsangang (Youngsan River)’. In this article, I would like to focus on the interrelationships between water as a cultural heritage in general and Youngsan river (Youngsangang) as a cultural heritage in particular. For this purpose, I would like to gather opinions on ways to review the historical and cultural status of the Youngsangang, to establish values and policy tasks of the cultural and natural heritage of the Youngsangang and its river basin, and to gather opinions on how to utilize the contents of the cultural heritage of Youngsangang and its river basin. For the purpose of this article, I propose that the expected effect and utilization plan can be summarized as preparing a plan to review the historical and cultural characteristics and meanings of the Youngsangang and its river basin through seminars on policy tasks for the sustainable development of waster as a cultural heritage and Youngsangang.
