구리 아천동 은행나무의 천연기념물 지정 가치 탐색

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore designated values of the ginkgo tree of Acheon-dong, Guri as a natural monument, and to provide basic data to prepare efficient conservation, management, and utilization measures as a representative natural heritage of Guri-si in the future. The age of the ginkgo tree of Acheon-dong, Guri, is 1,200 years on record, and has long been the center of the landscape in one place, sharing the history and flow of the region. Although the landscape has changed a lot due to national security, it testifies to the historical and cultural landscape of the region, and it is still receiving a lot of attention from local residents as a representative natural heritage of Guri-si. Related stories are told in the ginkgo tree of Acheon-dong, Guri, and there is a record that it was with the lives of local residents in Guri-si. In addition, the Dangsan Ritual, which restarted in 2022, combines the value of ginkgo trees, a tangible heritage, with intangible heritage and has high folk value. Compared to other natural monument ginkgo trees, there are very few male trees that are more than 1,000 years old, and they are valuable as old ginkgo trees, which are rare in Gyeonggi Province. Based on the value of the ginkgo tree of Acheon-dong, Guri found in this study, it is expected that it will contribute to strengthening the foundation for conservation, management, and utilization by reviewing the designation as a natural monument, state-designated cultural property.
