| | INTRODUCING WHIPIC |  |  | International Centre for the Interpretation and Presentation of World Heritage Sites |
| | Now that conflicts regarding the World Heritage Sites are intensified, the importance of ‘inclusive heritage interpretation and presentation’ that recognizes and respects various values of heritage is more emphasized than before. Reflecting this background, WHIPIC plays its role in World Heritage research, capacity building, informatization, and networking for better understanding of heritage and promotion of heritage conservation through inclusive interpretation and presentation of World Heritage. | |

| | The annual trade fair in Korea dedicated to heritage and museum industry was held successfully in Gyeongju, from 15 to 17 September. Please find out more about WHIPIC’s promotion booth in detail. | |  |  |  | Interpretation of UNESCO “Sites of Memory associated with Recent Conflicts”: analyzing its conflict structures and classification |
| On October 6, 2022 (Thu), the Research Office of WHIPIC held an academic seminar related to ‘Interpretation of UNESCO “Sites of Memory associated with Recent Conflicts”: analyzing its conflict structures and classification’, in the UNESCO Hall, the 11th floor of UNESCO House, Seoul.
Among world heritages that have been inscribed or tentatively listed on the World Heritage List according to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention (1972), ‘World Heritage in conflict’ means those involving a dissonance regarding its nomination or conservation methods among stakeholders such as state, group, individual, etc. due to their historical backgrounds or characteristics.
With professor Dong jin Kang (Kyungsung University), as a senior researcher, and professor Hyunkyung Lee (Sogang University), as the cooperative researcher, this study will shed light on specific cases such as ‘Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar,’ ‘Valongo Wharf Archaeological Site,’ ‘Hiroshima Peace Memorial,’ ‘Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining,’ and ‘Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.’
This study is one of the major studies that the center has conducted since its foundation early this year. It is expected to play a key role in establishing strategies to interpret and present world heritage sites in the proper manner. | | |  |  | 2022 World Heritage Interpretation Presentation Forum |

| Virunga National Park was founded in 1925 as the first national park of Africa. It features the dense forests, broad glacier areas, and 6 volcanoes. More than one third of mountain gorillas around the globe inhabit here. With its magnificent and breathtaking natural views and biodiversity, Virunga National Park was designated by UNESO as a World Heritage Site in 1979. Unfortunately, it was registered as a ‘Heritage in Danger’ in 1994.
