Jeju island is on UNESCO's World Natural and Cultural Heritage List. Jeju island is said to have cultural sources fluently and its culture has been studied to be different from that of the main land of Korea. Many researchers have focused on the distinctiveness of traditional culture of Jeju, concerning cultural and social anthropology. But this study is focused on the realistic cultural life of residents in Jeju. How exist the conditions of the cultural infrastructure in Jeju? What cultural organizations are being constructed in Jeju? What status is the cultural life of residents in Jeju? How is the satisfaction degree felt by Jeju people? What policies are to be proposed for the improvement of cultural life in Jeju?According to our research, the cultural infrastructure of Jeju island had been poor until 1960's but has been grown in the course of modernization and tourist development project especially since 1995and still is poor for the residents. The cultural organizations have been increased in Jeju for the last decade, though have been also revealed to be mainly the professional associations or federations of organizations. The financial structure of the cultural organizations in Jeju, futhermore,is investigated to be poor because they have been mainly supported by local government of Jeju. The enjoyment degree of the cultural life is revealed to be a little higher than that of the main land in Korea. The need for the practical participation in cultural life has been appeared to be getting stronger. Due to their need, their satisfaction degree has been showed to be a little lower. Thus, we propose the following policies such as the construction of the cultural amenity, the vitalization of mecenat movement, the extension of art market including a secured loan, the systematic support for the practical participations of the residents, and the positive drive forward 'Jeju, the island of culture and art.'
