Today, Korea is changing to leisure society. With that stream, leisure becomes important policy area due to the roles of meeting desires for better quality of life, promoting social integration and industrial resource. But in case of Korean leisure policy, it still has no independent policy area because of unclear object and high relations with similar areas like culture, sport and social welfare. So, this study suggests arguments on identity of leisure policy, to confirm independent area of leisure policy for comprehensive policy making. First, in terms of policy purpose, precedent leisure policies and studies have suggested improvement of life quality as eventual purpose of leisure policy, mainly. But improvement of life quality is common goal of most public policy, so, that can’t confirm identity of leisure policy. On the other hand, in case of advanced countries and some independent leisure policies, they set getting leisure life or promoting of leisure culture as goals. Thus, to confirm identity of leisure policy and get independent policy area, it is needed to set leisure’s own policy goals as highest purpose under eventual goal for improvement of life quality, and try to practical application of that in actual fields. Second, in terms of policy instrument, precedent leisure policies and studies have tried to include the other policy area’s means having even small relations. But those attempts would confuse identity of leisure policy, because those policy means would treat leisure as instrument, but not goals, and change characteristics of leisure policy through that. Therefore, to confirm leisure policy’s identity, efforts to search leisure policy’s own goals and recognition changes to distinguish policy means treat leisure as instrument should be performed. Third, in terms of policy target, precedent leisure policies and studies have classified and set targets by metrics of social welfare, economical and social status. Thus, to confirm identity of leisure policy, from the perspective of social right of leisure, leisure policy targets should be set according to levels of leisure participation capability as leisure’s own standard.
