This study thoroughly examines the current situation of Daehak-ro and reaffirms its historical and cultural value, offering solutions to the major problems it faces. The analytical methods of the study used are fieldwork and interviews. The findings reveal that Daehak-ro is confronted with challenges such as gentrification, rising rents, and employment instability among performing artists, all of which are limiting the area’s cultural and artistic activities. It emphasizes the necessity of public support for small theaters, which are struggling financially despite having operational autonomy. To ensure the sustainable development of Daehak-ro, the study proposes four key policies: providing affordable performance venues, offering long-term and sustainable support, establishing stable employ ment structures, and encouraging corporate donations. If implemented, these measures will not only maintain and enhance Daehak-ro’s reputation but also positively impact the national cultural and artistic ecosystem. This research provides policy guidelines that can be applied to other cultural and artistic areas, helping Daehak-ro continue its role as a true cultural and artistic hub. KCI Citation Count: 0
