ABSTRACT

This research aims to provide alternative policy guidelines and suggestions to enhance reading culture in the country. Analyzing 「Reading Culture Promotion Act」, which is the keystone legal frame to promote readership in Korea, followed by major foreign policies, this study identified three main policy areas including ‘Reading infrastructure’, ‘Tax support’, and ‘Public Campaign’. In addition, the study conducted Delphi survey of experts’ assessments of how much is the recognition of, contribution to, pubic support of, and actual applicability to the reading promotion for the readers. Through the survey along with the Focus Group Interviews of different age groups, this study could develop useful guidelines and suggestions to strengthen existing reading promotion policies. The findings also suggest that the society should realize that reading is not just educational purpose but ‘enjoyment’ itself and for that matter, the government needs more careful and active public campaigns.
