[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] On the 18th, Haman County in Gyeongnam announced the recruitment of participants for the "2nd Haman Maliyasan Tumuli Resident Guardians."


The participation period is until the 26th, and this project is being promoted to implement cultural heritage administration that resonates with residents, moving beyond the existing one-sided administrative management of cultural assets.


Currently, the Maliyasan Tumuli Cluster is being considered for World Heritage registration, and eligibility requires applicants to be general residents registered in Haman County or students attending schools located in Haman County.


Those selected as resident guardians will carry out activities such as ▲ monitoring and environmental maintenance of the Maliyasan Tumuli Cluster ▲ training for guardians of the Maliyasan Tumuli Cluster ▲ field surveys of the Maliyasan Tumuli Cluster, including investigating and reporting on the current status of the tumuli, attending various events, and promotional activities.



A county official stated, “By conducting administration that nurtures the Maliyasan Tumuli Cluster together with local residents, we aim to improve negative perceptions of cultural heritage and present active resident participation as a positive example during the ‘Gaya Tumuli World Heritage’ registration review, expecting beneficial effects.”
