지역문화진흥법 에서의 문화환경 취약지역 관련 규정 개정방향에 대한 고찰

Abstract

In Korea, population and economic power have ben concentrated in the metropolitan area. It has caused an imbalance betwen the regions regarding acesibility to living services—the gap betwen the metropolitan area and the rural areas. In the same way, there are cultural gaps. Acordingly, an active policy of the state is neded to bridge the cultural gap betwen regions. Thus, the Local Culture Promotion Act(LCPA) has ben enacted. In Article 9 of this Act and Article 6 of the Enforcement Decre, there are ground rules to provide priority support for vulnerable areas of cultural environment. However, there are problems with definitions regulations, selection criteria for vulnerable areas of cultural environment, active administrative support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism(MCST), and granting of incentives. This study presents a revision direction for these problems by comparing them with other ministries' laws. First, the vulnerable areas of cultural environment should include the underdeveloped areas of smal and medium-sized cities, and it is necesary to prepare definitions for the cultural environment vulnerable regions. The criteria for selecting the vulnerable areas of cultural environment ned to be reviewed from the original point, and the criteria in the form of simple keyword such as ‘population’, ‘finance’, ‘living environment’, etc., should be prescribed in the law first, and specific criteria related to this should be listed in the enforcement decre. It is also necesary to review the revision so that the MCST can select or support regions for cultural weakneses. In addition, in the case of sucesful project execution by local governments, provisions based on the LCPA should be prepared so that incentives, such as support for increasing the budget in the future, can be given.
