Abstract

This study regards the phenomenon of national intangible cultural property as a "Civil Failure", and attempts to suggest the ultimate solution to these issues from the novel viewpoint of “Public Nature”, as the issues related to national intangible cultural property have extended to social conflicts. First, this study derives general characteristics and values from the multidimensional notion of “Public Nature”, and highlights its relationship with national intangible cultural property. Thus, this study examines “Public Nature” in terms of the conceptualization of the state s administrative efforts, process, and purpose toward a "mature and better life." In addition, this study considers national intangible cultural property to be public property and to have continuity in how human perception evolves along with social relationships. To achieve participation, public happiness, public harmony and public order, this study suggests the frame of national intangible cultural property from the perspective of publicness, based on the following eight principles: eurhythmia, normativity, openness, commonality, public interest, public opinion, impossibility of appropriation, and fairness. Therefore, this study is expected to provide insight on setting a direction for future task systematization regarding the conceptual confusion of the publicness of the intangible cultural heritage with its essence and value.
