문화재관리사 자격제도 신설의 필요성과 입법방향

So far, the current management system of cultural heritage(CH) has achieved the somewhat desired result. However, as the social significance of management of CH has been increasing, it is limited to cope with the rapid increase in service needs and social requirements for management of CH by means of current management system of CH. For effective management of CH by the central government or local governments, it is necessary to secure organizations and human resources to take charge of it. Mostly, local governments do not have sections and manpower taking responsibility for management of CH while Cultural Heritage Administration has. Particularly, in the case of local governments which is on the forefront of managing CH, the frequent shift of personnel and specialty deficiency of officers in charge cause inefficiency in the proper management of CH. Further, local governments are suffering from the excessive task due to the absence of manpower which is able to cope with the increasing needs for management of CH. It is worthy to be considered to strengthen the personnel and to prepare a system for actively participation of trained person in order to preserve, maintain and utilize CH systematically and effectively and to overcome the limitation of current limitation of operating management system of CH. However, it is difficult to expect to expand the professionals greatly under the budged system and the strict capacity of the civil servant of the central government and local governments. Under these conditions, instead of expanding quota of the civil servant, Cultural Heritage Manager Qualification System could be newly established as the one of the possibilities for the specialized civilian experts to be able to participate in managing CH and to strengthen the professionalism of the civilian expert or the private institution who has already participated in or is willing to participate in managing CH. Accordingly, this study suggest necessity and validity of establishing the CH Manager Qualification System relating to duty, competency, the levels, the requirements, qualification, the task and recruitment of the CH manager based on the online expert questionnaire by Gallup Korea.
