인천 청년 문화향유 실태 연구

Abstract

This study focuses on cultural enjoyment as a factor affecting the quality of life of young people. The purpose of this study is to draw up implications for the preparation of policies to support youth culture by analyzing the cultural enjoyment status of young people in Incheon. From the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s 2019 Survey on National Culture and Arts Activities, the study extracted 209 samples of young people aged 19 to 39 living in Incheon and comprehensively reviewed the status of viewing and participating in cultural and artistic activities, the status of culture and arts education, participation in cultural and artistic clubs, and the status of viewing cultural and artistic activities using media. Analysis shows that young people in Incheon enjoy culture in a passive and fragmentary way. Most of them watched cultural and artistic events in Incheon, but the viewing rate in other cities is higher than that of other metropolitan cities. They answered that they had little experience in participating in cultural and artistic events, education on culture and arts, and culture and arts clubs, and pointed to the time and economic burden as obstacles to participation in events and education. In particular, the experience rate of culture and arts education showed a sharp decline as it went through infancy, childhood, adolescence, and youth. On the other hand, people in their 20s and 30s have a lot of experience watching cultural and artistic events using media, and those in their 20s have a high utilization rate of OTT. Based on the results of the survey, it is necessary to expand opportunities to participate in cultural activities, prepare support system for continuous culture and arts education by life cycle. It was also suggested that measures should be taken to deal with cultural enjoyment in other regions, policy to support non-face-to-face cultural enjoyment, and provide administrative and institutional supplementation to implement policies to support youth cultural enjoyment. The study is meaningful in that it empirically analyzed the cultural enjoyment status of young people in Incheon and suggested policy suggestions to promote cultural enjoyment of youth.
