OWHC World Heritage Cities are more than man-made buildings and places. They are cradles of memories and human experiences, where countless interactions and creations happen. They are alive, and we want to keep them alive. However, the authorities responsible for tak- ing care of our cities encounter difficulties in addressing issues in mutually satisfactory ways. The reconciliation of developing a city while conserving protected sites needs a new and OWHC Asia-Pacific Regional Secretariat | 054.779.6919 www.owhcap.org strong impetus.

All participants gathered early in the morning at Sa- nur Beach for a turtle release ceremony. Then, they began their eco-trip by visiting an area of Bali’s tra- ditional Subak irrigation system. The Subak system consists of five rice terraces and water temples and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. Subak, a cooperative water management system of canals and weirs, reflects the philosoph- ical concept of Tri Hita Karana (a Hindu philosophy that believes that happiness lies in the harmonious relationships among gods, people, and nature) that combines the spiritual world, the human world, and nature into a single whole. Later, the participants enjoyed a traditional Balinese dance performance and continued their heritage trip, with experts from Denpasar giving detailed ex- planations of heritage. After returning to Denpasar City, the participants visited the Bali Museum, built in the traditional Bali- nese style, and viewed unearthed relics, traditional handicrafts, religious objects, and other displays. Fi- nally, during a farewell cruise dinner, the final event of this strategic meeting, representatives from mem- ber cities spent time socializing while reflecting on and wrapping up their three-day journey. Thanks to the success of the 2nd OWHC Asia-Pacific Regional Strategic Meeting, it has become highly likely that the 2nd OWHC Asia-Pacific Regional Conference for World Heritage Cities and the 2017 World Congress of the OWHC in Gyeongju will be richer and more diverse events.

  • Bulguksa Temple, South Korea
    Bulguksa Temple, South Korea Bulguksa is often regarded as the 'Museum Without Walls' Very few structures around the world can match the architectural beauty and aesthetic appeal of the Bulguksa Temple in South Korea. Located in Gyeongju city, often referred as the 'Museum Without Walls', this 8 th-century Buddhist temple is a delicately constructed masterpiece. The temple is known for its immense religious significance. The wooden structure of the temple rests on a raised platform of stone. At this temple complex, you experience the spiritual enlightenment your soul yearns for. History The construction of the Temple started during the reign of King Beop-Heung of Silla Kingdom in 5 th century AD. It was completed in 774 AD under the dominion of King Hye-Gong and got its present name – Bulguksa Temple. Several renovations took place over the next few centuries. Bulguksa is believed to be designed by the legendary architect Kim Daeseong. UNESCO enlisted this temple and the Seokguram Grotto as a World Heritage Site in 1995. What to Do at Bulguksa Temple ? Visiting Bulguksa Temple is akin to witnessing the richness of Buddhist art along with the ancient culture and architectural assets. The temple complex houses relics including Seokgatap and Dabotap (two of the most valued pagodas in the country), the Golden-seated Amita Figure, and the Vairocana Buddhist Figure. Theses two relics were designated as the national treasure of Korea in 1962. The Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas stand at a height of 10.4 meters and 8.2 meters respectively. These two relics separate the Mauve Mist Gate called Jahamun and the hall housing the Sakyamuni Buddha known as Daeungjeon.

  • Jang Ilsoon's Socio-Religious Thought and Its Relevance
    JANG ILSOON’S SOCIO-RELIGIOUS THOUGHT AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN SOUTH KOREA BY HYOMIN BAEK A thesis is submitted to the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lancaster University 2017 I, ____________________________, declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where states otherwise by reference or acknowledgment, the work presented is entirely my own. Signed: ____________________________________ Date: ____________________________________ ABSTRACT Religious individuals and communities have been at the heart of civil society and played a crucial role in the social and historical sphere of twentieth-century Korea. In particular, the Catholic Church in Korea had been widely credited for its dedication to justice for the weak and to democracy. However, it is undeniable that the Catholic Church in South Korea has lost its social influence. Indeed, over the past decade there has been a significant drop in the number of Catholics and the Church, once a pillar of civil society, has continuously lost its social position. While there are various possible explanations for this circumstance, a satisfactory one can be found in its recent past history. During the 1970s and 1980s the Church was the symbol of social and political resistance, and there was a lay leader and activist, who played a significant background role. Admittedly, Jang Ilsoon (1924-1994) is a little-known figure and thinker within Christian communities in contemporary Korea, but his teachings are far more influential among non-believers than Catholics regardless of their faith and political stance.
