A Study on the Management Strategy of World Heritage Gyeongju Historic Area: Focusing on the Credibility of the World Heritage List

Gyeongju Historic Areas face significant threats to their World Heritage status, primarily from restoration practices lacking historical evidence, natural disasters, and overtourism. To mitigate these risks, the study proposes three key strategies: establishing standardized restoration guidelines, implementing preemptive disaster response systems, and fostering community engagement through awareness campaigns and participatory management plans. These measures aim to preserve the site's outstanding universal value while ensuring sustainable management. The research highlights the importance of credibility in maintaining World Heritage status, emphasizing the need for rigorous preservation practices and proactive threat mitigation.
