This study aims to review existing cultural heritage management policies from the new angle of cultural heritage exchange and cooperation and then prepare improvement plans. To do this, this study reviews the implications of cultural heritage exchange and cooperation activities in France, Australia, Egypt, and Vietnam, nations that make many efforts for cultural heritage exchange and cooperation as part of forming their world heritage management policies. The analysis of international practices found that China, Australia, Italy, South Africa, Vietnam and other countries have established departments dedicated to world heritage management and are strengthening organizations for world heritage management. The central government has a dedicated department for the efficient management of world heritage in the case of Australia. However, the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea has no department dedicated to world heritage management. As a result such a department is needed to advance a world heritage management system. In addition, many countries make an effort to restore and maintain their own world cultural heritage. In particular, they establish departments dedicated to strategic approaches to these ends. Korea also needs to establish departments dedicated to strengthening international exchange and cooperation activities, including efforts for the restoration of world cultural heritage, and to secure experts for a strategic approach to the protection of the national interest.
