통합 대한체육회의 비전과 정책방향; 비평과 과제

Abstract

The establishment of the vision and institutional direction of the Korean Olympic Committee is as important as a plan in an architectural process. Thus, this study has the objective of recording and criticizing the recently issued institutional data and seeking future tasks, in order to propose improved vision and institutional direction. With respect to the vision of the Korean Olympic Committee, ‘happiness’ is yearned by all individuals and societies, however, since Korea’s happiness index is comparatively low to other countries, we believe that the setting of ‘happy Korea by sports’ as a vision is very reasonable. However, the institutional direction of the Korean Olympic Committee is categorized into sports enjoyed for a lifetime, sports that increases national status, sports of a virtuous cycle, and sports loved by the nation. The most important direction is the virtuous cycle system. But, the virtuous structure between sport for all (school sport) and elite sport is not clearly explained. Accordingly, the future tasks of the Korean Olympic Committee include the construction of a virtuous cycle structure between sports facilities, programs, and instructors; a virtuous cycle structure between the Korean Olympic Committee, the Central Event Groups and provincial branches (including those of small districts); and lastly, a virtuous cycle structure between the government (central and local), the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, the Korean Olympic Committee, and affiliate groups.
