From the prehistoric era to modern times, fortifications have been an essential component of the self-defense of any human community. Fortifications were integrated with their settings in various ways. <br /><br />ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites), an advisory body in the field of cultural heritage of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, prepares charters, principles, guidelines, and declarations to effectively establish, conserve, and utilize various categories of cultural heritage, and promotes them to the world. ICOFORT (International Scientific Committee on Fortifications and Military Heritage), one of the international scientific committees under ICOMOS developed a charter on the protection, conservation, and interpretation of fortifications and military heritage from 2007 to 2021. This charter was officially adopted during the ICOMOS General Assembly in 2021 under the title of “the ICOMOS Guidelines on Fortifications and Military Heritage.” ICOMOS Guidelines set out how to identify the basic attributes of fortifications and military heritage indicating their value. In this paper, the aim is to provide directions for stakeholders, mainly site managers in specific fields of fortifications and military heritage, on how to identify, disseminate a fortification’s value, conserve its attributes embodying the value, and utilize its heritage through a value-based approach. It considers and offers an interpretation of the attribute system that reflects the functional authenticity of the fortifications and military heritage. 1 “A History of Korea”, http://contents.history.go.kr/mobile/kh/main.do (accessed: 5.06.2024) 2 “Baekje, ancient kingdom, Korea”, Britannica, 27.03.2024, https://www.britannica.com/place/Paekche (accessed: 13.04.2024) 3 “Capital Fortifications of Hanyang: Hangyangdoseong Capital City Wall, Bukhansanseong Mountain Fortress and Tangchundaeseong Defense Wall”, UNESCO, https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/6652/ (accessed: 27.05.2024) 4 “Cheonja Chongtong Gun”, National Museum of Korea, https://www.museum.go.kr/site/eng/relic/represent/view?relicId=4635 (accessed: 8.05.2024) 5 Chevalier H., “華城城役儀軌, Hoa Syeng Syeng Yek Eui Kouei, Cérémonial de l’achèvement Des Travaux de Hoa Syeng (Corée) (1800)”, T’oung Pao 1898, vol. 9, no. 5, pp. 384–396, http://www.jstor.org/stable/4525362 (accessed: 27.05.2024) 6 Choi Y., “Vasco da gamaeui saengeae gwanhan yeongu” 바스코 다 가마의 생애에 관한 연구 [A Study on the Life of Vasco da Gama], Jungnammi yeongu 중남미연구 [Latin American and Caribbean Studies] 2004, vol. 22, no. 2, pp. 46–68, https://www.dbpia.co.kr/journal/article-Detail?nodeId=NODE06221320 (accessed: 5.06.2024) 7 “Coastal Fortifications along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra”, UNESCO, https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/6703/ (accessed: 20.04.2024) 8 “Complex of Hué Monuments”, UNESCO, https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/678 (accessed: 13.01.2024) 9 Corvisier C., Warmoës I., “L’art de fortifier de Vauban, Vauban, architecte de la modernité” [in:] Vauban, architecte de la modernité? eds.
