A study on the buffer zone under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act in Korea

Korea's buffer zone system, established under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act and Urban Planning and Building Act, plays a crucial role in safeguarding cultural heritage. A study analyzing development activities and regulations within buffer zones of Changdeokgung Palace and Hahoe Village reveals the need for improved urban planning, information sharing, and community participation to enhance preservation efforts. The research suggests that integrating these elements can better protect cultural properties while allowing sustainable utilization. This approach highlights the importance of balancing development with heritage conservation in UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Hahoe and Yangdong.
