UNESCO said “The intangible cultural heritage means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills－as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith－that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage.” ICH-related to space is physical place to practice transmission of cultural heritages and areas of life handed down from generation to generation.In the process of ICH descended up to this day, it has been changed or reinvented into modern ones sometimes. The cultural space associated with ICH is flexible and has characteristics of blurred boundaries by comparison with tangible cultural heritages:historic sites, archaeological sites and groups of traditional buildings etc.This paper introduces five cases of cultural spaces with respect to ICH in Jeonbuk province, Korea. This research proposes lists which are traditional markets, a wash place, two traditional villages and senior citizen community. If cultural spaces are missed, cultural heritages also will become extinct. That is why it is essential that the cultural space should be a top priority of ICH protection and transmission.  a1975-5740
