Gyeonggi Province is promoting the ‘Cultural Heritage Care Project’ to systematically conduct ongoing preventive management of national heritage and improve the viewing environment.
Accordingly, Gyeonggi Province announced that from the 27th of this month to the 10th of next month, it will conduct safety inspections including minor repairs, daily management, and continuous preservation status checks on 787 national heritage sites within the province.
In addition, in the event of a disaster, emergency protection measures will be taken to strengthen the safety management of national heritage, and matters that can be immediately addressed on-site, such as minor tile repairs, weed removal, fire extinguisher inspections, and cleaning of information boards, will be promptly handled.
Hwang Young-seon, Director of the Cultural Heritage Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through the Cultural Heritage Care Project, we will systematically manage the precious cultural heritage within the province, and through this thaw season safety inspection, we will further strengthen disaster and accident response capabilities. We will do our best to create a safer cultural heritage preservation environment."
Meanwhile, last year, Gyeonggi Province conducted 1,273 minor repairs, 1,772 monitoring activities, and 17,919 daily management tasks through cultural heritage safety management.
Last year, to ensure continuous preventive management of national heritage, Gyeonggi Province changed the entrusted institution for operating the ‘Cultural Heritage Care Center’ through a public contest to the Hanul Cultural Heritage Research Institute (located in Suwon City).
