Sincere Application of Seowon

The use of authentic cultural heritage means preserving the original historical and cultural value of cultural heritage beyond the development of tourism resources and providing meaningful experiences to people through this. To do so, it is of paramount importance that communities, experts, and administrative authorities who are directly or indirectly related to cultural heritage cooperate to redefine the value of heritage and give it new meaning and role to suit modern society. Seowon is not only equipped with all the elements of cultural heritage in the traditional society, but it can be said to be the child of cultural resources that can be said to be a future growth engine. This is because it encompasses a wide range of cultural resources, ranging from intangible, folk, and documentary heritage, as well as prominent types of cultural heritage, starting with the person who is oriented to seowon, and various human networks that emerge in the process of establishing and reconstructing seowon. On the other hand, rapid changes in modern society have also accompanied significant changes in the perception of cultural heritage and resource utilization. Accordingly, the value of seowon as a cultural resource also has the requirements to spread its meaning, and despite the fact that general evaluation is not well known compared to other cultural heritages, it has been confirmed that it is a space that can actively adapt to changes in cultural consumption patterns, such as preservation of original culture, storage of digital data, and advancement of access. The authenticity of the use of seowon will be strengthened by establishing a self-sustaining ecological environment while seeking solutions that can coolly recognize realistic limitations and structurally break them down, which will be completed by giving a new meaning to communicate with modern society while preserving the value of seowon's original spirit, Neo-Confucianism Education and Sunhyun Orientation.
