스포츠정책 입안을 위한한국형 스포츠행복지표 개발 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to develop a Sports Happiness Index (SHI) designed to inform sports policies that positively influence the happiness of Korean citizens by intentionally incorporating both hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions. Drawing theoretically on Sen’s (1985) and Nussbaum’s (2003) Capability Approach, as well as the domains proposed by Koo et al. (2017), the study employed an integrated methodology combining comprehensive literature review and expert Delphi surveys. Through this process, seven domains—health, physical activity, leisure, relationships and social participation, subjective well-being, environment, and safety—were identified, encompassing a total of 46 indicators. The results of this research suggest that sports can significantly contribute not only to physical activity but also to subjective well-being, social integration, and sustainable improvements in quality of life. By classifying indicators according to the philosophical perspectives of eudaimonism and hedonism, this study underscores that sports policies should simultaneously pursue short-term satisfaction and long-term value creation. Additionally, the independent establishment of the "physical activity" domain is a distinctive feature of this research, differentiating it from previous studies by highlighting the unique contribution of sports activities to national happiness beyond merely improving physical health. In conclusion, the study indicates that the Korean Sports Happiness Index can be effectively utilized as a systematic and scientific tool to evaluate national happiness and analyze the impact of sports policies. Furthermore, the Sports Happiness Index has substantial potential as a robust, evidence-based foundation for sports policy formulation aimed at enhancing happiness and promoting sustainable social development in Korean society.
