0 Andysis of preparation process

a The issue of assigning rolcs In the process of preparing nominations for inscription on thc IVdd lleritage List, there is a nmd for, systemization of the assigning 01 roles to the central and local governments and the method of participation1 by expert groups. Recommendations are received from local governments concerning nominations for the World Heritage List, and cultural properties experts from the central government judge and decide on these. 1 I There was insufficient active participatioii from such relatcd agencies as ICOhlOS and IIICK. The assigning of roles to the Korean National Commission far UKESCO and the Cultura koperties Administration nceds to be done properly.

0 The irsue of cooperation with local governments and population There is a need to consider the viewpoirlt of the population and prepare a rational policy and pans, and to actively reflect the public opinion. Beginning with the process of nomination for the Tentative List, local governments need to gather the opinions of related KGOs and the l~xalpmdation. Efforts must be made to raise the local population's understanding of the World Heritage list and to increase public awareness. 1
