워터파크 유원시설물의 안전성확보에 관한 공법적 연구－기존의 논의에 대한 비판적 검토를 겸하여－ = A Study on Safety Guarantee of Amusement facilities like Water Park in the View of Public Law

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Summer has come. Water theme parks are dotting up around the nation, each boasting interesting and distinctive attractions and features. Ever more ingenuous and creative with new features, these parks claim that they are not just about splashing around in the pool, but enjoying a healthy, fun and relaxing time with water. On the other hand, there is ever more variety in the colorful dizzying rides. But most of the water park operators have little experience and tend to be negligent in safe supervision. So people who use the water park can encounter danger.
Some water parks were licensed as amusement facilities under provisions in Tourism Promotion Act and others were reported as swimming pool business according to Installation and Utilization of Sports Facilities Act. In the latter case, it is possible to manage the water park without a safety inspection.
Water parks should be licensed according to Tourism Promotion Act, and need to get a safety inspection to ensure the safety of the amusement facilities like water parks. The staff must remind people of safety rules to prevent accidents in a water park. As time passes, facilities are sure to become obsolete. So old water parks need safety checks or close safety checkup in Special Act on the Safety Control of Public Structures.
