This study attempted to analyse the present situation and performance of public, private, school and village athletic facilities of the wide-area autonomous entity as part of presenting the reasonableness of athletic facility supply policy. The scope of analysis was intended for wide-area autonomous entities across the country. To collect data, this study used the public, private, school and village athletic facilities of the wide-area autonomous entity with 2001 as the basis. The wide-area autonomous entity refers to Seoul city, 5 megalopolis(Busan, Daegu, Inchon, Kwangju, Deajon) and nine provinces, and this study conducted analysis by including the megalopolis of Ulsan in South Kyungsang Province. An attempt was made to analyse the number of public athletic facilities per 100,000 people by city in 2002 As a result, it was found that Kyonggi Province, South Kyungsang Province. Seoul and Kangwon Province had the high distribution of specialized athletic facilities. Comparison of the number of private athletic facilities showed that all of registered and reported athletic facilities occupied the absolute number in Kyonggi Province and Seoul. According to materials published in 1998 and 2002 on sport-for-all facilities, Seoul, Inchon, Kyonggi Province, Kangwon Province, North Chungcheong Province, Kyungsang Province and South Kyungsang Province showed the area of more than 1,000,000m. In terms of the size for people`s sport for all, the great deviation was not shown. In conclusion, it is thought that Korean government need to focus a new vision on providing for an alternative to enhance the degree of using the idle space of existing public athletic facilities while continuing to implement the policy for facility expansion plan The idle space of public athletic facilities or the public land never requiring the land compensation expense in promoting the remodeling of existing facilities are comparatively well equipped with infrastructure and do not need any change of form and quality. Moreover, thanks to the expansion of the urban district most facilities have good accessibility. Therefore, if those facilities are remodelled to suit local residents` changed demand and tastes, they can not only be practically used as the sports resources of the very valuable district but also evaluated as the space of high potential that can function as the open space useful for fostering the urban green environment.
