한국과 일본의 독서정책 분석 = An Analysis of the Reading Policies of Korea and Japan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

National reading policies of Korea and Japan were analysed by scrutinizing some laws and national and/or regional plans to promote reading culture of each country. Which would lead to suggest some strategies for sustainable and systematic reading policies. ‘Library and Reading Promotion Act’ of 1994, the first ever Korean law that declared that promoting reading culture is one of its aims, was succeeded by ‘Reading Culture Promotion Act’ of 2007. The Act which regulates matters to guarantee every peoples’ lifetime reading proclaims national and local governments’ duty to promote reading culture. It also systemizes the reading policy process. However, experts’ exclusion in that process is a drawback of it. Korean government has issued two versions of reading culture promotion master plan. Both of them covers very broad areas of policies, but reveals limited understanding about reading culture. They don’t give any specific road map and plans to get financial resources and manpower. In Japan, one can recognize many kinds of reading culture promotion policies like ‘Act on the Promotion of Children’s Reading’ of 2001 and ‘Text and Printing Culture Promotion Act’ of 2005. Central government devises a long-term plan to develop literacy of children and young adults every five years; local governments devises an acting plan every year. The focal point of the reading policies in Japan is changing from reading itself to literacy. They are concerned about the feasibility of policies through collaboration and involvement of every interest groups, systematic linking of long-term plan and acting plans.Here are some strategic suggestions to get sustainable and systematic reading policies: reading governance to realize involvement and collaboration policy model; professional human resources and stable financial resources to guarantee some level of outcomes in reading culture; levelling the quality of information up to have efficient plan; development of digital literacy to cope with the rapidly changing ICT.
