This paper focuses on the change of basic principles of intangible cultural heritage protection through the new enactment of the Intangible Cultural Properties Act and discusses how to combine science and technology to promote the use of intangible cultural heritage. The Intangible Cultural Properties Act defines the categories of intangible cultural properties as ① traditional performances and arts ②traditional techniques related to crafts and arts ③traditional knowledge on Chinese medicine, agriculture and fisheries ④oral traditions and expressions ⑤ traditional lifestyle customs such as food, clothing and housing, ⑥social ritual such as folk beliefs, ⑦ traditional play, festival, craft and martial arts. Unlike the Cultural Properties Protection Act, which adopted the principle of preserving the ‘archetype’ of cultural properties, the Intangible Cultural Properties Act provides the basic principle of preservation the ‘model’ of cultural properties and the institutional framework of conservation and promotion through the utilization of intangible cultural heritage. In the paradigm shift of the intangible cultural heritage, it is required to search for the active utilization by combining science and technology for the creative succession of intangible cultural heritage. Therefore, in this study, we propose three methods to enhance the utilization of intangible cultural heritage. First, it is necessary to expand the knowledge ecosystem by building a knowledge platform for intangible cultural heritage. Next, if we can improve access to intangible cultural heritage through the maker movement using online networking, we will be able to achieve the creative succession and modernization of intangible cultural heritage. It is also proposed to open exhibitions and experience programs that combine intangible cultural heritage and virtual reality/ augmented reality technology, and to develop academic and educational materials for succession of cultural heritage. By using science and technology in this way, the accessibility, usability and experience path of intangible cultural heritage can be expanded, so that it can be preserved not as a past heritage but as a living heritage in the present life.
