Since the recent restoration of the Sungnyemun gate (South gate of Seoul) which was burnt down in 2008, there were dispute about the application of traditional technique for the conservation of cultural heritage. In this research, the definition of traditional technique for cultural heritage conservation is thought and mentioned. In general, the understanding of traditional technique is based on the idea of 'tradition'. Tradition is not defined as a 'eternal doctrine existence', but a 'development of succession' and a 'living existence'. Thus 'traditional performance and craft as intangible cultural heritage' is defined as 'intangible' which also makes it difficult to define the 'original form/state' from 'the conservation of the original form' which is a major principle of cultural heritage. In case of Korea, if the 'traditional technique as intangible cultural heritage' is put into application to cultural heritage conservation, the unclear definition will cause many problems in the restoration/conservation site. This is because the site will apply this technique without any discussion of the range and limitation of 'traditional technique'. This means there will be the lack of discussion for the conservation of the cultural heritage which will not have a strict criteria for the allowable range of usage for the 'traditional material' using the vaguely defined 'traditional technique'. In this study, these application issues of the traditional technique were also considerecl, comparing the development of international wnservation principles. As a result, the conservation of 'traditional technique as intangible cultural heritage' is important, but the 'technique left inside the tangible cultural heritage' which is the 'material which is carrying the technique when it was firstly built' has more importance to preserve and need to be in the major considerations.

The provision of support for the art of making these items needs to be considered with the focus on the following factors: the local situation of the areas where such traditional handicrafts are still made, the craftspeople involved in their production, and their communities. So far, discussion about how to reinvigorate traditional handicrafts, including those mentioned above, has been concentrated on the measures taken to promote them as part of the handicrafts industry and the allocation of the government's budget for important intangible cultural heritages. The government runs a traditional handicrafts management system and provides financial support for the craftspeople and spaces for exhibiting their work. This form of support has led to systematic management of traditional handicrafts and heightened public interest in cultural heritage, as well as publicizing the country's traditional crafts, but has made little progress in the following areas: the fostering of young people willing to learn traditional skills, diversification of the types of skills to be maintained, or establishment of the networks of collaboration among the craftspeople. The most important aspect among the efforts mentioned above is to maintain cultural traditions that are unique to each region by encouraging local craftspeople to engage in their work with a solid sense of pride backed up by financial support. This study was carried out in connection with the need to reinvigorate the art of making tanggeon (horsehair crown), manggeon (horsehair headband), and gat (black horsehair hat), which few people wear as they are used only for ornamental purposes nowadays. This study examined the circumstances surrounding the artisans engaged in the production of horsehair handicrafts prior to their designation as a cultural heritage, and the changes that occurred in the local communities associated with their production after the designation, in order to assess the status of inheritance of this tradition.

전통놀이는 전통문화의 일부분으로 옛날부터 민간에 의하여 전승되어 오는 놀이로서, 이를 후세에 전승시켜 유지보존하고 이어가는 것은 그 사회집단의 독특한 문화를 계승 발전시키는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 그러나 급격한 도시화와 세계화에 따른 정체불명의 미디어와 게임의 확산은 전통놀이 계승을 통한 전통문화의 보존을 방해하는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 놀이 공간 확보의 어려움과 청소년들이 디지털 미디어 단말기의 선호에 따른 실외 및 집단놀이 활동의 외면 등, 전통놀이 확산의 장애 요인을 극복하기 위하여 최신의 인터랙션 미디어 제작기법을 활용한 전통놀이의 설계 및 구현 기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 정월대보름날에 행해지는 대표적인 전통놀이인 쥐불놀이 키트를 최근 부각되고 있는 아두이노 보드와 가속도 센서를 이용하여 제작하고 프로세싱으로 구현하는 사례를 제시하였다.

Today, the Korean wave headed by K-pop is newly named as 'New Korean Wave' in that it has been extended to United States, Europe and Russia. K-POP, the main player of the new Korean wave, has been successful in SNS marketing channels. Furthermore, the content of K-pop has attracted the attention of the global audience. The media and public attention on the Korean Wave is meaningful because it is not merely a cultural export. It also makes Korean people feel national pride, seeing the mental influence of its culture on other regions. Moreover, the development of the cultural industry in our society, which is different from industrial or material development, is a proof that Korean society is at the center of globalization. Until the 20th century, Korean culture had been rather receptive than dominant. In other words, it was focused more on acceptance of other cultures than active creation or outflow of its own. Now, however, K-POP is not anymore copying Western culture. It is creating its own unique characters, which makes K-pop very competitive. Korean culture has been formed for a long time in Korea's unique historical background. Korean popular culture also has to establish a solid foothold in world markets through its distinctive and traditional feature. The positive consumer response to Korean pop culture will create the added value of Korean contents and their derivatives, which will heighten Korea's national image also. In other words, if traditional art and K-POP are converged and equipped with our own unique and highly artistic culture, they will take the lead in the global cultural art market. In this study, we will recognize the possibility, growth and development of K-pop culture and analyze the cases of combining K-pop and Korean traditional art. First, we have to blend traditional art and other various genres to create diverse contents, and we have to actively utilize media channels. Second, we must improve people's awareness of the copyrights of traditional art. Also, we have to mitigate the copyrights of creative dance to expand the disclosure of contents which can be utilized. Third, we have to learn about traditional arts from younger age. Fourth, we will expand traditional arts to the whole of Korean cultural policies, which can enhance the nation's cultural value and create economic benefits. These four are expected to be effective ways to preserve the identity of traditional art and at the same time, globalize Korean culture.

In the midst of the fusion era in digital contents, securing a variety of traditional cultural sources is important. Out of its long history, Korea has extensive spectrum of cultural contents in combination with conventional religions. Buddhist art has been a pillar of the traditional culture for a long time in Korea, by which we could secure new sources for cultural contents and classify them. This is aimed that we could bring the future brands into reality based on the traditional culture through Buddhist cultural contents. This study hired the original cultural forms in the viewpoints of traditional culture. Study on the implication through the symbols of Avalokitesvara (觀音菩薩) and Buddhist child (童子) in Buddhist art might allow to secure a foothold to create own characters. Thus, focusing on Avalokitesvara (觀音菩薩) and Buddhist child (童子) in the Buddhist sacred images as registered in Cultural Heritage Administration for national treasures, those traditional characters were reviewed through their own system of symbol. During the course, Buddhist characters were available to be classified into DB by their roles and materials지물. This study could help to exploit the complicated Buddhist culture of its symbolic meanings and to shape them into original forms of the culture. Also, through the meanings of the Buddhist sacred images, it could provide the digital contents pool with Korean traditional characters.

우리나라는 농경문화가 주류를 이루어 발달해 온 문화권에 속한다. 그러므로 우리의 전통생활문화에서는 농업의 특성과 지역공간에 기반을 둔 두레나 품앗이 등 공동체의 생활양식이 발달되어 왔다. 설날과 보름, 단오, 추석과 같은 명절의 세시풍속과 많은 전통문화의 요소는 농업ㆍ농촌과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있으며 이는 도시보다는 농촌에서 보다 쉽게 유지되고 보존되어진다. (중략)
