현대도시에서 문화공간은 곧 도시생활의 중심역할을 하는 곳이라고 할 수 있다. 문화공간은 삶의 질을 높이고, 가치의 폭을 넓히는 거점인 것이다. 이러한 점에서 문화공간이 대도시 지역에 집중된 현실은 문화적 수혜의 불평등을 초래하고 있으므로, 각 지역의 기능적, 공간적인 중심인 중소도시에 문화공간과 시설을 확보해야 할것이다. 이러한 시대적 과제를 수행하기 위해 선결되어야 하는 것이 그 확보의 적정수준을 모색하는 것이며, 이릉 위해 본 논문에서는 국내의 현황을 분석하고 선진사례의 비교분석을 기반으로 확보의 필요성을 확인하고 적정한 확보의 수준을 모색해 보고자 하였다.
