공공 미술포털 정보관리 체계 개선 방안 연구 = A Study on the Improvement of Information Management System for Public Art Portal

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study began with the awareness that the public art portal operated by the Arts Council Korea needs systematic improvement, when the 2022 revision of the Culture and Arts Promotion Act mandated post-management inspections of architectural artworks. The purpose of this research is to propose effective enhancements by analyzing the portal’s information management system, diagnosing structural issues, and conducting an international comparative analysis. To this end, the study utilizes a literature review and data analysis alongside a comparative study of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Fine Arts Program and the Washington State Arts Council (ArtsWA) Art in Public Places (AIPP) program.
The findings of this study are as follows. First, the public art portal was found to have structural problems at the institutional, systemic, and operational levels, including non-mandatory information registration, ambiguity regarding accountable entities, and a lack of integrated post-management data. Second, a comparative analysis of the GSA Fine Arts Program and ArtsWA AIPP cases confirmed that the core elements of effective public art information management are mandatory information registration, a centralized integrated information management system, and a clear accountability system. Third, we derived elements applicable to the public art portal by considering the differences in ownership structures between government-owned overseas collections and privately owned domestic architectural art works. Based on these findings, we proposed institutional improvements, including mandating information registration by amending Article 15-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Culture and Arts Promotion Act and designating local governments as the accountable entities. As systemic enhancements we proposed linking artwork data with management summary tables and adding content information items. Operational recommendations focused on establishing standardized entry guidelines and implementing an automated linkage system with local government building permit databases. This study, as an attempt to integrate culture and arts administration and information systems, is expected to contribute to the effective operation of public art information management.
