Abstract
In October 2023, the introduction of the HIA in the World Heritage Act was stipulated, and it is scheduled to be implemented a year later. HIA is a management tool that evaluates the positive or negative impact that the proposed development Project can have on heritage and proposes mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate negative effects if the impact is negative. The purpose of this study is to review and propose specific measures necessary to introduce and settle HIA. To this end, existing studies related to HIA at home and abroad and the HIA provisions specified in the World Heritage Act were analyzed, and the main results are as follows.
 In the screening stage, it is necessary to create separate criteria and principles for determining whether an HIA is necessary, and detailed processes accordingly. In the scoping stage, as well as identifying what properties of the heritage are affected by the development project, it is necessary to identify various stake-holders affected by it and ensure their participation from the scoping stage to the entire evaluation process to increase the capacity for evaluation results. In the HIA implementation stage, it is necessary to make a domestic World Heritage Impact Assessment Guide. In the reporting and monitoring stage, the evaluation results are to be reviewed by the Cultural Heritage Committee, and it is suggested that the scope of the subject of review be broadened to various stake-holders.
