The purpose of this study is to develop a method for establishing an educational system for World Heritage interpretation applicable to World Heritage sites and to design an education program for World Heritage interpretation by applying the developed education system in this study. This study first identified the definition of interpretation and the relationship between interpretation and education through previous research and analyzed the role and significance of heritage interpretation due to the paradigm transition in the capacity building of World Heritage sites. Next, the educational status of World Heritage interpretation was analyzed through educational institutions, educational subjects, and curriculum examples. Finally, this study argues that a method for establishing a World Heritage interpretation education system should be presented according to the composition of the curriculum, and the interpretation curriculum planning by interpreters should be proposed focusing on the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of World Heritage sites.
The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of agricultural heritage as a sustainable agricultural and rural paradigm with a focus on the “Argan-based agro-sylvo-pastoral system in the area of Ait Souab-Ait Mansour”, a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) site in Morocco. Based on the inscription criteria of the GIAHS, we analyzed the economic-industrial, sociocultural, and ecological-environmental perspectives and presented strategies for revitalizing agricultural and rural development cooperation through the Moroccan Argan GIAHS. The argan tree has been a source of economic, cultural, and environmental stability for the Berber people for centuries, but today it is exposed to many threats. In particular, the declining consumption of argan oil by Berbers, the lack of financial independence of women's cooperatives, and the over-exploitation of the tree suggest that it is time to balance the three pillars of environmental, economic, and social sustainability that development has sought to achieve. Agricultural heritage can be preserved when local people take ownership of their heritage and utilize it to generate economic activities. Only a symbiotic way of life between humans and agricultural heritage can overcome the possibilities and limitations of the ecological environment and generate local value through the accumulation of knowledge, technology, and culture. Only on these premises, can local self-sustaining development based on the pluralistic values and public functions of the world's important agricultural heritage be possible.
본 연구는 백제역사유적지구 세계유산 등재과정에서 문화유산 보존관리체계의 골격을 형성하는 보존관리구역 구성체계와 공간적 범위 설정문제를 중심으로 제기되었던 다양한 쟁점사항에 대한 분석을 통하여 문화유산 보존관리체계의 대안적 방향을 제시해보고자 하는 목적을 지니고 있다. 한국에서의 문화재에 대한 보존관리체계는 『문화재보호법』에 근거하여 설정되는 문화재구역, 문화재보호구역, 역사문화환경 보존지역을 근간으로 운용된다. 반면에 『세계유산 협약 이행을 위한 운영지침』에서는 유산구역, 완충구역 그리고 주변 환경 등을 근간으로 유산 보존관리체계가 운용되고 있다. 세계유산 보존관리체계와 관련하여 국내 『문화재보호법』은 매우 합리적이며 선진적인 문화재 보존관리체계를 구축하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 장점을 제대로 활용하기 위해서는 구역 세분화와 연계하여 문화재구역과 보호구역, 역사문화환경 보존지역에 대한 명확하고 합리적인 성격을 부여하는 한편, 단편적인 규제 중심의 관리체계가 아닌 문화재구역과 보호구역, 역사문화환경을 일체화한 종합적, 계획적 시각에 입각한 운영체계가 구축될 필요가 있다.
