Abstract

This study aims to objectively identify the current situation facing calligraphy promotion policies by examining and analyzing the process and status of policy promotion after the enactment of the Calligraphy Promotion Act. The purpose and significance of the study are to identify the problems facing the effective promotion of calligraphy and propose various developmental tasks to resolve them.
 In order to do that, the researcher first identified and summarized the existing policy promotion progress by categorizing the legislative and implementation process of the Calligraphy Promotion Act, the policy promotion status of the central and local governments, and other promotion statuses through interviews with stakeholders and direct research methods like searching and gathering relevant information. Next, a “Delphi survey” was conducted with 11 experts in the field of calligraphy to identify the problems in the calligraphy system revealed during the policy promotion process. A 10-question open-ended questionnaire was designed, and participants were asked to respond in narrative form. It was divided into five areas: an awareness survey of the calligraphy promotion policy, calligraphy promotion law, the progress of calligraphy promotion policy, future tasks for calligraphy promotion policy, and other opinions. The survey was conducted for eight days from May 17 to May 24, 2023, and various opinions were collected and analyzed to identify current issues and implications for promoting calligraphy policy. After summarizing the obtained data, the following developmental tasks were gathered according to the researcher's practical experience and literature review. The developmental tasks under each topic were presented and categorized as follows: establishment of a policy promotion expert group, implementation of an arts management system, training and assignment of specialized personnel, establishment of a calligraphy pedagogy system, establishment of professional platform for calligraphers, and establishment of a partnership and governance system.
 Therefore, this study can be used to analyze the reality of the calligraphy promotion policy and resolve the challenges facing the calligraphy world. However, the lack of specific suggestions for alternatives to each development task is a limitation of this study. Therefore, conducting further in-depth research on each development task and reflecting on it in the policy field is necessary. This process has the potential to catalyze the full-scale calligraphy promotion and establishment of calligraphy as another art genre and cultural content representing K-Culture.
