세계유산 내 종교시설 활용 방안 연구－공산성 영은사를 중심으로－

Abstract

This study explores strategies for the utilization of Yeongunsa, a religious site located within Gongsanseong, which is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research focuses on the broader historical and cultural context of the region, recognizing the significance of Yeongunsa as both a religious institution and a historical cultural landmark. The primary goal is to propose sustainable strategies that preserve Yeongunsa’s historical heritage while enhancing its cultural tourism value. To achieve this, the study first examines the historical and cultural significance of Gongsanseong and the role Yeongunsa plays within this context. Comparative analyses of similar examples, such as Goransa in Buyeo and the temples within Namhansanseong, are conducted to draw insights. From these case studies, three key conclusions are drawn: first, raising public awareness of Yeongunsa is essential for its revitalization ; second, a storytelling model that links Yeongunsa and Gongsanseong should be developed ; and third, it is crucial to design programs that target the growing trend of family-oriented visitors to historical and cultural sites. By implementing these strategies, Yeongunsa can serve not only as a religious site but also as a vibrant cultural asset that contributes to the local community and efforts to preserve global heritage.
