Unani medicine has been used extensively as preventive and therapeutic healthcare in India. It mostly utilizes herbal drugs for the treatment of various conditions and ailments. It is based upon the humoural and temperament theory of Buqrat (Hippocrates). Unani medicine is one of the oldest traditional system rooted within the Greek, Iranian, Arabic, and Islamic medical knowledge and has developed as a scientific healthcare system. It is highly practiced and popular in certain parts of the world, and the World Heritage Centre, part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the United Nations Foundation list it as an authentic and still-living form of traditional medicine. But in the past, its survival required utmost efforts from different dynasties, scholars and organization around the world. The efforts of promotion, preservation, translation, upgradation and publication of medical knowledge has crucially given new life to Unani medicine in each era. This letter will enlighten the efforts of translations of medical knowledge in Unani medicine from its arising need in the past till present.

The archipelago in the southwest sea, Korea, was registered as Shinan Dadohae Biosphere Reserve by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Man and the Biosphere (UNESCO MAB) on May 26, 2009. This study was conducted to determine a method of reconciling natural and anthropogenic processes and to enable sustainable development in the vicinity of the Shinan Dadohae Biosphere Reserve (SDBR). To accomplish this, the characteristics of SDBR with respect to biodiversity and cultural diversity were evaluated. In addition, a management plan regarding the wise use of the SDBR was developed while focusing on four parts: cultural support to induce motivation for native conservation and development; development and specification of fisheries and cultivation based on local community systems; restructuring of marine food products and resource transporting systems; activation and discovery of indigenous knowledge to enable networking between local residents, academia and the UNESCO-international society.

UN은 2015년 9월, 2016년부터 2030년까지 앞으로 추진할 국제사회의 공동목표로 "지속가능개발 2030 의제"를 채택하였다. 이에 UNESCO는 2016년 5월, "무형문화유산보호협약 운영지침"을 개정하여 지속가능개발과 무형유산보호에 관한 장(章)을 신설하였다. 지속가능개발은 무형문화유산보호협약의 주요한 이념이기도 하다. 그러나 그동안 무형문화유산보호협약은 지속가능개발을 위한 무형문화유산보호 방안을 제시하고 있지 않았다. UNESCO는 이번 운영지침 개정을 통해 무형문화유산보호협약 당사국들이 지속가능개발과 무형문화유산보호를 어떻게 결합할 것인가에 대한 방향을 제시하였다고 볼 수 있다. 한국의 무형문화재제도는 1960년대부터 산업화로 표현되는 경제개발 과정에서 소멸되어 가는 전통문화를 보존하기 위하여 마련된 제도였다. 그러나 동시에 무형문화재제도는 경제개발을 적극적으로 지원하는 역할을 수행하기도 하였다. 근대적 국민형성기능을 수행함으로써 개발을 위한 문화적 지원 역할을 수행하였던 것이다. 지속가능개발의 제기는 그 이전의 경제개발과 사회개발을 부정하는 것이 아니라 기존의 개발개념이 심화되고 확장된 결과라 할 것이다. 따라서 한국은 그 동안의 개발성과를 계승하여 보다 성숙한 개발의 단계로 나간다는 관점에서 지속가능개발과 결합하는 무형문화유산정책들을 마련하여 시행할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 지속가능개발의 의미와 그것이 한국의 무형문화유산정책 속에서 어떻게 구현되어야 하는가를 검토하고, 한국무형문화유산정책이 사회개발과 인간개발을 중심으로 지속가능개발 과제를 추진할 것을 제안한다.

In 2009, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognized the unique outstanding ecosystem biodiversity and distinct ecocultural values of the Shinan Dadohae Biosphere Reserve in the island region. The Dadohae area, which has been sustainably conserved for scores of years, boasts not only a unique ecosystem, but also has residents with a wide range of traditional ecological knowledge. In terms of understanding the soundness of the ecosystem network known as the landscape system, the recent expansion of environmental development has served to heighten the degree of consideration given not only to biodiversity, which has long been used as an indicator to assess ecosystem soundness, but also to assess cultural diversity. Man has used the surrounding landscape and living organisms as his life resources since the beginning. Moreover, whenever necessary, man has developed new species through cultivation. Biodiversity became a foundation that facilitated establishing cultural diversity such as food and housing. Such ecological knowledge has been conveyed not only to adjacent regions, but also at the international level. The recent rapid changes in the Dadohae area island ecosystem caused by the transformation of fishing grounds by such factors as climate change, excess human activities, and marine pollution, is an epoch event in environmental history that shows that the balance between man and nature has become skewed. Furthermore, this issue has moved beyond the biodiversity and landscape diversity level to become an issue that should be addressed at the cultural diversity level. To this end, the time has come to pay close attention to this issue.

The technology of the SWG (Smart Water Grid) as one of most important national projects results in significant assignment that is closely associated with systematic management and effective operation. The individual component technics are required to establish directory and classification for the purpose of effectively managing their information related to research and development (R&D). The national science technology (S&T) standard classification tree which results in the representative example has been established with an intention to manage R&D information, human resource, and budget. It has been also revised every five years and then used in the various fields related to the evaluation, administration, and prediction of the national R&D projects. In addition, the standard classification system for R&D projects has been widely used in the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and EU (European Union) since the Frascati Manual was established in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Therefore, it is necessary for SWG techniques to develop the standard S&T classification tree for research management and evaluation. For this, it is essential to draw the core techniques for the SWG, which are incorporated with IT (Information Technology), NT (Nano Technology), and BT (Biology Technology).

유네스코(UNESCO: United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) 세계유산 가운데 자연유산이 차지하는 비율은 문화유산에 비하여 매우 적다. 우리나라에서 처음으로 제주 화산섬과 용암동굴이 7번과 8번의 기준에 부합하여 지난 2007년에 유네스코 세계자연유산으로 등재되었다. 본 연구는 우리나라 지질유산에 대한 현황과 관리 및 보존 사례를 분석하고, 향후 지질유산 보존을 위한 중장기 추진 전략과 개선방안에 대하여 고찰하였다. 천연기념물로 지정되어 국가지정문화재로 보호받거나 지질공원과 같은 새로운 지질유산의 활용시스템을 도입하여 효과적인 교육과 홍보를 할 수 있는 방문객센터 건립을 통한 지질유산의 교육과 활용이 절실히 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 갯벌로 유네스코 세계유산으로 지정된 '와덴해(The Wadden Sea)'를 직접 방문하여, 세계유산 현장을 조사하고 관리를 책임지고 있는 전문가들과의 인터뷰를 통해 얻어진 자료를 정리하였다. '와덴해'의 성공적인 세계유산 관리와 보존을 위한 정책은 크게 세 가지 요인으로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 연구와 모니터링을 위한 통합관리시스템과 공동사무국의 운영이고 둘째, 지질유산의 홍보와 교육을 위한 방문객센터의 활성화, 그리고 마지막으로 장기 발전계획에 따른 전문가들의 다양한 연구과제와 프로젝트의 실행이다. 이 연구는 우리나라 지질유산의 현황을 살펴보고, 그 가치를 증진하고 보존하기 위한 방안을 모색하는 정책적 대안을 마련하고자 수행되었으며, 우리나라 지질분야 자연유산의 중장기적인 정책적 결정에 기여하고자 한다.

A protected area means a space designated and protected by law from development pressure and environmental pressure. It is mainly designated to protect specific ecosystems, natural landscapes, and cultural resources from irrational development (or damage), and involves policies of the public sector such as central and local governments. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has conducted conservation and restoration projects for preserving natural ecosystems and genetic resources. In order to conserve the ecosystem in the protected area, national and public organizations purchase private land and use it ecologically; in addition, ecological restoration project is carried out for the purpose of creating waterside ecological belt or preserving ecosystem. Land acquisition refers to the land where highly influenced by the water quality and need to restore, and purchased by negotiating with the landlord. Although the nation and public institution carried out ecosystem restoration project for partial purchase land in order to conserve ecosystem, it is below the expected effect due to lack of comprehensive management system and have some problems in restoration project and unification of management institutions. Land acquisition in Donggang River Basin Ecological Conservation area is initiated in 2005 for creating income of local residents and ecological restoration. However, the lack of overall management and awareness resulted in poor vegetation growth and poor response by local residents due to terrain exposure. As such, there is insufficient research on the current situation and systematic integrated management although the number of land acquisition is increasing year after year. Futhermore, overall recognition and follow-up monitoring of eco-restoration are still inadequate. Therefore, the survey on the awareness of the purchase land ecosystem restoration project is necessary for the efficient restoration project and establishment of the management strategy for land acquisition in the future. Therefore, in this study, we provide fundamental materials on further research projects by carrying out research on the awareness of ecological restoration projects in the Donggang River basin ecological preservation area.

BACKGROUND: The Geomunoreum Lava Tube System (GLTS) is both vast and culturally valuable. The Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, which are partly composed of the GLTS, have been declared as a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. Exploration of the caves is strictly regulated to conserve these vulnerable environments. Photographs provide limited information and do not describe the entire environment comprehensively. Therefore, we created several illustrations of the lava tubes to display their environmental features. METHODS AND RESULTS: We explored six lava caves (upstream and downstream) in the GLTS and photographed their geological features and yellow walls, the colors of which are influenced by microbial mats. We compared the hex codes of the wall colors using the Clip Studio v1.10.5 software and created illustrations that accurately represent the scale and features of the caves. CONCLUSION(S): Upstream and downstream caves of the GLTS differ in scale and volcanic features. We illustrated various characteristics of the caves including lava cave features, vegetation, and microbial mats. We also described the internal and external cave environments.
