Summary
A comparative analysis of policy approaches reveals that while both the Baekje and Gyeongju Historic Sites, UNESCO-recognized cultural landscapes in South Korea, operate under a unified framework—namely, the Historic City Preservation Act—their local regulations are distinctly tailored to address regional specificities. The study underscores the potential for future policies to be more responsive to the unique needs of each site while maintaining a harmonized yet adaptable framework. This insight suggests that a nuanced, location-specific approach could enhance preservation efforts without compromising the overarching goals set by the Act.
