A Study on Policy Directions to Resolve Conflicts in the Public Sport Facility Utilization

In order to explore the direction of policy alternatives that could resolve social conflicts between individual citizens and club members which occured while using public sports facilities, first, by collecting 30 related articles and 3,019 comments on the articles from portal sites, analyses on the values and demands of individual citizens and club members were performed, second, through the theoretical perspectives of individualism and collectivism, contextual grasping the causes and structures of conflicts while using public sports facilities were conducted, and third, through the perspectives of liberalism and communityism, the searching for policy directions that conflict parties could reach an agreement was done as follows. The claim for individual rights for the use of public sports facilities argued by individual citizens was identified as selfish individualism that neglected the duty of management, and the club members' demands for priority for use because of the management and utilization of public sports facilities was identified as totalitarian collectivism. To resolve the conflict, the political alternative directions such as the guaranteeing of individual rights for using public sport facilities, the collecting user fees and the compensation for additional volunteer actions for the facilities by supporting the fees afterward were suggested through the concepts of differential distribution of public goods on the premise of reciprocity from a liberal perspective and compensation through the performance for the public good from a community perspective.
