Archaeological Resource Management in South Korea ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH KOREA: DEVELOPING A HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT PLANNING MODEL FOR BURIED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES HWA JONG LEE Supervisors: Tim Williams Joe Flatman Paper submitted to the Institute of Archaeology, University College of London, for degree of PhD 1 2 I, HWA JONG LEE confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract As the standard of living rose in South Korea a wider range of people became interested in archaeological heritage and its management. Specifically, since the 1990s, rescue archaeology became an issue of wider social concern: there was a paradigm shift from simply the protection of archaeological sites, under pressure from development, to the use of sites as a social resource. This transformation presented a number of challenges regarding unexcavated archaeological sites in the planning process, decision-making on preservation in-situ (as opposed to ‘preservation by record’), and the nature of display or reburial. This research aimed to develop a management planning model to face these challenges. The research focused on archaeological sites, partly because of their ability to engage social issues in contemporary South Korea, and partly because of the complexity of managing the resource, due to the ‘invisibility’ of unexcavated archaeology and the often fragile nature of the remains. In order to build this model, the research explored international theories and approaches, and set these within the context of South Korean Archaeological Resource Management, to produce an intellectual framework. The research explores four broad topics – who, why, what, and how – through complex issues such as identity, ownership, participation, assessment, conservation/protection, interpretation and presentation. The model involves principles for management 4 (including participatory planning, transparent assessment of values, and defined management strategies). This leads to a road map for planning: Stage 1 (Identifying) explores activities such as team building, documentation and vision, under the principle of participatory planning; Stage 2 (Assessment) approaches the assessment of values and significance, and the role of decision-making and governance, using principles of transparency; Stage 3 (Responding) develops approaches to creating management strategies, specific to time and spatial scales; and Stage 4 (Reviewing and Revision) investigates the processes of monitoring and review, within a flexible framework. 5 CONTENTS Abstract …………………………………………………………………………... 4 List of Contents …………………………………………………………………….. 6 List of Figures ………………………………………………………………………. 11 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................... 17 1.1 Background ...................................................................................................... 17 1.2 The nature of buried archaeological sites and their management .................... 21 1.3 Site discovery in South Korea .......................................................................... 23 1.4 The growth of rescue archaeology in South Korea .......................................... 26 1.5 Conclusion – Research goals ............................................................................ 40 1.6 Methodology .................................................................................................... 44 1.6.1 Literature reviews ..................................................................................... 44 1.6.2 Comparative analysis ................................................................................ 45 1.6.3 Interviews and questionnaires with South Korean professionals .............. 46 Interviews .......................................................................................... 47 Questionnaires ................................................................................... 49 1.6.4 Case studies ............................................................................................... 52 Aims ................................................................................................... 52 Case-study selection .......................................................................... 52 Approach to the case studies .............................................................. 55 1.6.5 Model building .......................................................................................... 55 Building intellectual approaches for a model .................................... 56 Developing planning procedures and steps for specific issues and challenges in South Korea ................................................................................... 56 2 Theoretical context: the development of Archaeological Resource Management in an international context .................................................................... 58 2.1 Changing issues in international context .......................................................... 58 2.2 The Subject: ‘who’- by whom and for whom .................................................. 62 2.2.1 Managed by whom?

  • The Role of Self-Gentrification in Sustainable Tourism: Indigenous
    The role of self-gentrification in sustainable tourism: Indigenous entrepreneurship at Honghe Hani Rice Terraces World Heritage Site, China Abstract: This article examines three forms of tourism gentrification within the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yunnan, China. The Indigenous Hani and Yi communities who populate this remote mountainous area possess distinct cultural practices that have supported the rice terrace ecosystem for centuries. This article uses interviews and non-participant observation conducted with inhabitants and newcomers to analyse the gentrification within the site. We argue that Indigenous cultural practices, and consequently rice cultivation in the area, are threatened by gentrifier-led and state-led gentrification, combined with high levels of outward migration of Indigenous persons. This poses a significant threat to the sustainability of tourism there, to the survival of the traditions and culture of the Indigenous inhabitants and could compromise the site’s World Heritage Status. Some Indigenous people are, however, improving their socio-economic standing – and becoming “middle class” or “gentry” – particularly through adopting entrepreneurial strategies gleaned from their encounters with outside-gentrifiers and tourists. This article proposes the concept of “self-gentrification” as a way to describe individuals who seek to improve themselves and their own communities, while threatened by gentrification, and offers ways to promote that concept to help conserve both heritage landscapes and Indigenous ways of life. Keywords: self-gentrification; Indigenous; entrepreneurship; tourism gentrification; sustainability; World Heritage Site. 1 Introduction On 22 June 2013 UNESCO inscribed the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces in Yunnan province in southern China (hereafter ‘Honghe WHS’) as a Cultural-landscape World Heritage Site.
