Abstract

TThe National Cemetery is a space for realizing patriotism at the national level to honor the will of those who gave their lives for the country and to permanently venerate their loyalty and merit. The purpose of the establishment of the national cemetery is to imitate the spirit of patriotism that was sacrificed for the country and people. The state distinguishes between private death and public death as a sacrifice for the state. Furthermore, we carefully manage deaths that are classified as public. National cemeteries are the institutional space for managing such public deaths. With respect for devotion and discipline, the standards for burial and commemoration should not be based on status or class. In a national cemetery, shifting the degree of courtesy and priorities to devotion and discipline will become a true patriotism system in a democratic society. First of all, it is time to honor those who have died and those who have dedicated themselves to the restoration of national sovereignty as the highest and highest priority. This is the key to resolving the conflict that our national cemetery is experiencing and gaining public sympathy. This study is based on the premise that the national cemetery is insufficient as an open memorial space and historical space loved by the people. In addition, the implications and applicability of national cemeteries are reviewed through domestic and foreign excellent cases and high-quality and eco-friendly national cemetery construction cases in advanced countries.

국립묘지는 나라를 위해 목숨을 바친 분들의 뜻을 기리고 충의와 위훈을 영구히 추앙하기 위해 국가적 차원의 보훈을 실현하기 위한 공간이다. 국립묘지 설립의 목적은 국가와 민족을 위해 희생한 호국정신을 본받자는 것이다. 국가는 사적(私的)인 죽음과 국가를 위한 희생으로서의 공적(公的)인 죽음을 구분한다. 나아가 공적인 것으로 분류된 죽음을 세심하게 관리한다. 국립묘지는 바로 그러한 공적인 죽음을 관리하는 제도적 공간이다. 헌신과 훈격에 따른 예우로 안장 및 추모를 위한 기준이 신분 또는 계급 중심에서 벗어나야 한다. 국립묘지는 예우의 정도와 우선순위를 헌신 및 훈격 중심(重心)으로 전환하는 것이 민주 사회에서의 진정한 보훈 시스템이 될 것이다. 무엇보다도 먼저, 전사자와 더불어 국권 회복을 위해 헌신한 독립유공자들을 최고, 최우선 예우로 모실 때가 되었다. 이는 우리 국립묘지가 겪고 있는 갈등을 해소하고 국민의 공감을 얻는 첩경이다. 본 연구는 국립묘지가 국민으로부터 사랑받는 열린 추모 공간 및 역사 공간으로는 부족한 점이 있음을 전제로 출발하고 있으며, 국립묘지가 국민들로부터 사랑받는 열린 공간으로 거듭나도록 서비스 개선 중심으로 종합적인 발전방안을 제시하고자 한다, 또한 국내외 우수 사례와 고품격이면서도 친환경적인 선진국 국립묘지 조성사례를 통해 시사점과 적용 가능성을 검토한다.
