Study of Public Cultural Facility: Case Study of Kani City

Abstract

 Recently, the importance of culture and art in public policy has been increasing from a policy and governance perspective. For such cultural policies, normative studies and many case studies have fo- cused on the process of citizen autonomy in local government, but the role of cultural foundations has been under studied. This study investigates the conditions for success in locally administered cultural faculty. For observing how a cultural faculty administered by cultural foundation, a leading figure in cultural policy, this study focuses on Kani Public Arts Center. This case study illustrates how the arts center supports citizens’ cultural activities.
