A Study on the Value and Use of Cultural Property in the Field of Korean Traditional Costumes

According to the Cultural Properties Protection Act, cultural properties are ethnic, national, or world heritages that have been artificially or naturally formed and have high historical, artistic, academic, or nature values. Traditional clothing is a tangible and intangible cultural property that can be most directly presented as a cultural phenomenon in which traditional culture can be seen. Intangible cultural assets include traditional craft techniques such as dyeing, weaving textiles, and making jewelry. The field of traditional costumes, which is a tangible cultural asset, is intended to recognize its value as a cultural asset and to present its use and plan. The theoretical background was presented, and the status of the designation of traditional costumes was classified and organized through the website of the Cultural Heritage Administration. The current status of transfer training programs in some regions of Jeollanam-do was examined to analyze the current situation. As a result of reviewing public demonstrations status at the Jeonnam region s intangible cultural properties exhibition hall, tangible exhibits were produced using intangible technology. These exhibits were an element that played an essential role as visual content providing visitors with information on traditional clothing while enhancing their understanding of traditional techniques related to cultural properties. However, even though such exhibits in the field of traditional clothing play an important role as visual and educational cultural contents, the scope of use was limited as a result of lack of awareness of the field of traditional clothing. The cultural heritage museum must be maintained and spread nationwide to protect the cultural heritage value of traditional clothing. Also, it is necessary to gradually increase the number of exhibits in the Cultural Heritage Center by using a storytelling method so that the presentations can induce interest in visitors.
