A Study on the Polycentric Governance of Local Culture and Arts Areas in the Covid-19 Situation: Focusing on Jongno

The purpose of this study is to explore the practical utility of the polycentric governance composition of public-private cooperation in regional cultural and artistic activities. This is to confirm the institutional utility of the polycentric governance form and the actual situation felt in the actual field through in-depth interviews, and to present the phenomena derived through this as a basis for the development of cultural and artistic policies in the future. In particular, it was considered that it would be an example of presenting a regional model to overcome the crisis of Covid-19 to check whether the cultural and artistic policies that changed rapidly after Covid-19 and whether the main functions of polycentric governance worked in the business site. The theoretical basis of this study is E. Ostrom's polycentric governance theory, and among them, five democratic efficiencies of multi-core governance(right to speak, public-private joint production, public entrepreneurship, competition, and extrasibility) were explored. Accordingly, a qualitative study was conducted in three areas (Insa-dong, Daehak-ro, and Jamun-bak) in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and results consistent with the above five democratic efficiencies were confirmed in the governance of culture and arts in each dong. As a result of this study, it is expected that culture and arts policies using polycentric governance will be activated, and used as empirical data in the process of establishing a support system for culture and arts sites that have shrunk since Covid-19.
