북한의 문화유산 활용 방안(案) : 매장문화재

Abstract

Since the declaration of Panmunjom in April 2018, South and North Korea have been expecting the activation of inter-Korean exchanges. There will be a sweeping improvement in relations in national cultural heritage and other areas. Some of the ways to utilize the national cultural heritage in accordance with these inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation have been examined. The recently enacted ‘National Heritage Protection Act’ specifically explains the details of the provisions of the law and introduces the contents of the enforcement regulations of this law. Since Kim Jong Un's inauguration, the emphasis on the global trend and scientific development of the national heritage has been related not only to international exchanges but also to inter-Korean exchanges. Specific opinions on the use of cultural heritage in North Korea are divided into stages of reconciliation cooperation and inter-Korean cooperation according to the unification plan of the Korean community. During the reconciliation and cooperation, the exchange and utilization projects include regular academic conferences held by South and North Korea, excavation and preservation of the Koryo Palace, excavation of the Koguryo tomb, excavation of relics related to the Daedong River culture, and South-North joint investigation on the remains of South Korea. The steps of the inter-Korean alliance include a joint investigation of the inter-Korean Demilitarized Zone, excavation of Paleolithic sites in Pyongyang and Whanghae areas, and excavation of ruins related to the Namgang(Daedong River).
