Due to the rapid economic growth, the urban area is expanding its scope. As a result of the urbanization, various facilities are established, and this stimulates the growth of outdoor advertising. The steady growth of outdoor advertising is one of reasons that pollute city view, and this reached a serious level. This study aims to search for efficient regulatory means so that population can enjoy a pleasant city view.
Starting with the theoretical base for the outdoor advertising, this research goes over fact-findings from outdoor advertising status in Chungnam Province. The research on Chungnam Province is performed in three fold, and first is the legislative and government regulation aspect. This is detailed through current status quo, purposes of legislations, limit in applying legislative measures, and closer look at the regulatory manner itself. Second is the administrative and government policy perspective. Here, statistics of installed outdoor advertising, their maintenance and supervision, safety test, exemplary pattern figure and outdoor advertising company support programs are discussed. Next is surveying population's awareness of vicinity population, outdoor advertising installer, and advertising companies. Remedies for problems related with outdoor advertising are conferred through these discussions.
There are roughly 150 thousand cases of outdoor advertising in Chungnam Province, and 10 thousand of them violate related regulations. The quantity of outdoor advertising is increasing with an annual rate of 4.4%. As for a population survey, 75% of 140 residences in Chungnam Province think that the outdoor advertising has a heavy influence on city view, and 60% of them are not satisfied with the outdoor advertising. Reasons they counted for the dissatisfaction are exaggeration in size, redundancy in quantity, poor design with unsophisticated colors and obscene propagandas.
Advertisers and relevant public service members consent on outdoor advertising's overemphasized size and overabundance in quantity , but they had a different idea for how it should be regulated. While advertisers expect to see a slow and gradual alteration in legislation, civil servants demand imminent and stronger measures to efficiently govern the outdoor advertising. Civil members also sense that it is urgent that corresponding legislation should be altered to operate more practically. Compare to outdoor advertising in foreign countries, those found in Chungnam Province and Korea are overstated in size and over-supplied in quantity. The outdoor advertising in developed countries such as USA and England have shown a trait of adequate size and quantity .
