세계유산을 통한 지역의 미래지향적 상생방안 연구 - 신라왕경 디지털복원 프로젝트를 중심으로

Abstract

The first thing that can come to mind for the win-win development plan of the region through World Heritage would be the revitalization of the cultural and tourism industry. It is a typical logic that as it emerges as a place you want to visit through World Heritage listing, many tourists visit and consume the region, thereby revitalizing the local economy. Of course, it is important to take care of this. The work of revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs with tourism acceptance posture such as accommodation, transportation, and food could be the most direct win-win plan for the region through World Heritage. However, in the midst of uncertainties such as the climate crisis and various disasters, we have already seen the crisis and trend of change in the COVID-19 era. Such an unexpected variable that tourists themselves may not come to is a fundamental concern about whether the World Heritage Site can only revitalize the region as a cultural tourism industry. As an alternative to these risks and a future-oriented development plan, the project to digitally restore World Heritage sites is actively carried out at the local government level. Digital restoration is the restoration of World Heritage sites by utilizing digital technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), 3D scanning and modeling, digital twins, and metaverse, and should include digital content businesses based on the method of reproduction beyond restoration. In that case, the growth of related industries required to digitally restore World Heritage sites can be expected, and the revitalization of the local economy and the creation of local jobs can be expected. Of course, for this work, it would be good to establish a minimum device for regional win-win under certain conditions, such as hiring local companies and local manpower, and lay the foundation for sustainable growth based on this.
