This study explores the roles and tasks of museums, focusing on the issue of community participation, in the context of the `Historical And Cultural Zones', which is being concretized through the `First Basic Plan for the Development of Historical Cultural Areas' after the enactment of the `Special Act on the Development of Historical And Cultural Zones'. The `Historical And Cultural Zones' is a process of heritage preservation, management, and utilization of cultural heritage, and the application of institutions alone is limited, and the area of `community participation' is an area that is easily overlooked in addition to institutional methods at this point. This study is premised on the research hypothesis that there are roles and challenges for museums in the institutional application of the historic cultural environment based on the concept of `inclusive heritage'. To this end, the role of community-engaged museums, which is emphasized in the new definition of museums, is examined and its conceptual relevance to the historic and cultural environment from an inclusive heritage perspective is explored. A qualitative meta-analysis was used to identify the potential for community-engaged museums to contribute to local participation and community building in the application of an inclusive heritage perspective.
