Abstract: Leadership has 1 The purpose of this study is to prepare and submit a case study for the City of Andong during the Fifth International Convention Centre of Asian Scholars (ICAS 5). Andong is home to the well-preserved Korean culture of splendid old temples, stone pagodas, traditional Confucian Academies, and homes of the nobility. Because the region is in the heart of a traditional Confucian culture region where nationally well-known academies still exist and continue to be revered, there is an extensive research effort currently underway to make the region, “Kyongbuk,†a Confucian Culture Zone during the next ten years. As a glocal city model, we will choose Andong. This study is divided into three parts: • The prospective paradigm and possibility of Andong area studies (Korean Confucianism) • The contemporary meaning of Yangban (Korean aristocrats) community formation in Andong • Management of Andong cultural heritages – Tour complex planning – Andong Culture & Art Institute – Andong Cultural Park and Art Center – Globalization of Andong Mask dance Festival – Museum of Andong traditional culture Tourism in Confucian Cultural Zone – Andong spa complex – Plans registering 3 Andong cultural heritages as UNESCO world cultural treasures
