Abstract
      The Baduk Promotion Act, which was enacted for the purpose of contributing to the expansion of leisure opportunities for the people, the cultivation of healthy minds, and the globalization of Baduk, legally supported the policy of supporting the promotion of Baduk and the creation of Baduk culture, and prepared a legal basis for it. This has a significant meaning for Baduk community.
      However, in order for the law to be effective, it must be practiced in real society. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Baduk Promotion Act enacted on April 17, 2018 for its legislative purpose. The results of examining the characteristics and limitations of the Baduk Promotion Act are as follows.
      First, there is an issue regarding the lack of clear definitions within the law for terms such as ‘Baduk instructor,’ ‘Baduk professional player,’ and ‘Baduk organization.’.
      Second, there is an issue concerning the term ‘special circumstances’ used in defining cooperation with relevant agencies, as it leaves room for various interpretations.
      Third, the provisions of the Baduk Promotion Act, which stipulate support policies such as funds, are meaningful in that they provide a legal basis for receiving financial support from the state budget. There is a problem that consists of regulations that are too comprehensive and abstract to be taken as a legal basis for materialization.
      Lastly, there is an issue within the content related to the cultivation and support of Baduk professional players, which may prioritize a sports policy focused on fostering elite athletes and elevating the national stature rather than aligning with the primary objectives set forth by the Baduk Promotion Act.
      Therefore, to enhance the effectiveness of the Go Promotion Act, it is necessary to enact legal provisions that specify clear criteria and procedures. Through such improvements, it is believed that effective support and development for the promotion of Go can be facilitated.
