Abstract
Social organizations, as the main force of cultural heritage conservation in China, play the role of information transmission, participation in system design, promotion of practice and coordination of social forces. But the existing legislation lacks adjustment of social organization. It makes the legal status of social organizations in the cultural heritage conversation unclear, and limits the role of social organizations. This paper hopes to elaborate and analyze the problems existing in the legislation and practice of cultural heritage organizations, and then put forward suggestions to improve the legislation. This paper adopts the research methods of hermeneutics, comparative studies and sociology of law. In the first part, the importance and legal status of social organizations in the protection of cultural heritage are explained; in the second part, the existing legal provisions and practice status are expounded; in the third part, the existing legal provisions and practice status are analyzed; the fourth part gives the corresponding legislative improvement suggestions for the problems analyzed in the third part.
