As numerous surveys and studies indicate, there exists a serious gap between the preservation of designated folk villages as national cultural heritage and the property and livelihood rights of the village residents. Despite efforts in academia to narrow this gap by preserving the traditional form of folk villages while maintaining residents' occupancy, issues persist due to perceptual differences between the government and the villagers. From the perspective that cultural heritage gains meaning and significance from contemporary society, the issues surrounding folk villages imply a lack of resonance or acceptance among residents for the value intentions of the government. Therefore, this study seeks to interpret the ongoing conflict between the state and villagers regarding folk villages as stemming from the government's intention to create villages as symbols of national identity, without adequately considering the present situation and the residents' agency.
