Abstract
As the risk of local bookstores disappearing continues to increase, institutional support from local governments is needed to revitalize local bookstores. Therefore, this study analyzed 90 local governments that have enacted ordinances in order to analyze the content and characteristics of local governments' ordinances on revitalizing and supporting local bookstores. The analysis results show that, First, it is necessary to clearly reflect policy goals in the name of local bookstore-related ordinances. Second, because the definition of local bookstores is diverse, policy confusion may occur, so a policy definition that reflects the policy purpose is needed. Third, the establishment of support plans related to local bookstores is insufficient, and only 22 local governments specify the timing of plan establishment, so improvement is needed. Fourth, regulations related to financial support for local bookstores are insufficient and must be improved to ensure financial responsibility. Fifth, there are various higher-level laws applicable to local bookstore-related ordinances, so efforts to systematize them seem necessary. Sixth, only 90 (39.8%) of 226 local governments nationwide have enacted local bookstore-related ordinances. As there is a risk of local bookstores disappearing, it is necessary to expand the enactment of local bookstore ordinances.
