The purpose of this study is to describe quantitatively the characteristics and the structure of the Act on the development, management, etc. of Marinas (the Marinas Act) by analysing its provisions using semantic network analysis. The method of semantic network analysis has its advantages in overcoming limitations of the traditional content analysis method, as it is easy for the user to understand the structure and the shape of a network by figuring out the structural network among words. The object of the analysis is the full text of Marinas Act recently revised from Chapters 1 to 4, while partial analysis is carried out respectively for each chapter from Chapters 2 to 4. The structural characteristic of the Marinas Act shows that the act focuses on the development of marinas, as its main goal is interpreted to set up hardwares and to construct facilities rather than to promote the marina industry itself. Even though some clauses for human capital development and business development are included, they are of less importance compared to the development of marina facilities. This study provides some basic information on the structural characteristics of the current act, which can be referred to in subsequent studies. In the future, it also needs to be complemented through comparative analysis with government policy outcomes and performance of diverse analytical approaches.

This study analyzes the operating conditions of domestic marinas in response to changes in coastal and marine leisure trends and demand for recreational boats, and suggests ways to improve services according to the types and functions of marinas. In order to popularize marine leisure and to foster coastal and marine tourism industry, the 'Act on the Development, Management, etc. of Marinas' was enacted in 2009 and 'The 1st Marina Basic Plan' was established, and more than 34 marinas are operated nationwide. In order for domestic marinas to be used as an infrastructure for marine leisure activities, measures for enhancing service functions should be prepared in accordance with the size and characteristics of marinas.

This study analyzes the operating conditions of domestic marinas in response to changes in marine leisure trends and demand for recreational boats, and suggests ways to improve services according to the types and functions of marinas. In order to popularize marine leisure and to foster coastal and marine tourism industry, the 'Act on the Development, Management, etc. of Marinas' was enacted in 2010 and 'The 1st Marina Basic Plan' was established, and more than 34 marinas are operated nationwide. In order for domestic marinas to be used as an infrastructure for marine leisure activities, measures for enhancing service functions should be prepared in accordance with the size and characteristics of marinas. It is also necessary to improve facilities for marine leisure management and tourist convenience.

This study examined business acts related to leisure boats, so as to investigate the differences of regulations and things to be supplemented, as well as to suggest improvement measures. In order to achieve this purpose, the authors analyzed the respective legislations. The Acts on businesses using leisure boats(or power-driven water leisure crafts) are the Marine Transportation Act, Excursion Ship and Ferry Business Act, Water-Related Leisure Activities Safety Act, and Act on the Development, Management, etc. of Marinas. These Acts have differences in regulations, in terms of gross tonnage, the age of vessels, crewman, and the liquor traffic. These differences can cause problems such as adjusting the gross tonnage of the vessel by modifying the structures of the facilities, assigning old vessels, sailing without crewmen required for safety, and going against fairness in the liquor traffic in similar businesses. Such differences appeared to be caused by the lack of understanding of leisure boats and the series of new legislation which have been added one by one. It is required to raise the understanding on the characteristics of leisure boats and reflect them in the legislation.
