Cultural Heritage Administration Conducts Nationwide Survey of Unregistered Historical and Cultural Resources Over 5 Years
Integrated DB Construction Goal: "Not Only Physical Information but Also Historical, Cultural, and Social Information"
On the 25th, the Cultural Heritage Administration announced that it will identify the status of non-designated historical and cultural resources nationwide over five years until 2024. A phased survey will be conducted by region to establish an integrated database (DB) with a consistent format. An official explained, “We have already introduced the broad concept of ‘historical and cultural resources,’” adding, “We plan to create a comprehensive data set that includes not only physical information but also historical, cultural, and social information.”
The main targets of the comprehensive cultural heritage protection system are non-designated buildings and historical sites at high risk of damage or loss. The Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Gangwon regions, which are estimated to have relatively many such resources, will be surveyed first as a priority in 2020. Next year, Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon will be surveyed, followed by Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, Chungbuk, and Chungnam in 2022. In 2023 and 2024, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, and Jeju, as well as Daejeon and Sejong, will be examined respectively. The official stated, “Through field surveys, we will verify errors in existing data and discover new historical and cultural resources such as modern cultural heritage.”

The Cultural Heritage Administration plans to use this survey as an opportunity to develop methods for efficiently managing and utilizing non-designated historical and cultural resources. Moving beyond the regulation-centered designated cultural heritage protection system, it will also explore the use of locally distinctive managed resources. The official said, “We will strengthen the statistical and scientific foundation of cultural heritage administration and share the value of non-designated cultural heritage, which is disappearing without proper evaluation, with the public to make it a treasure trove for research and cultural resource creation.”
