다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose The current study was conducted in an attempt to provide a development plan for the future of Sport and Leisure Studies by reviewing the identity of society of sport. Methods The review process included the appropriateness of society of sport terminology, clarity of research domain, and pertinence of disciplines covered in the KSSLS Journal. Extensive literature review and expert interview (n=20) were implemented for study analysis. Result Review of literature indicate the terminology of society of sport, adopted previously from sport industry and academia, is now being used predominantly as the underlying concept of sport for all. Expert opinions regarding the usage of this particular terminology ranged from forty percent (i.e., maintain current terminology) to twenty percent (i.e., new terminology, incorporating the overall aspects of sport, is required) to forty percent (i.e., make alterations pertaining to modern sport environment). A review in terms of the scholarly direction of KSSLS suggests, contrary to its current terminology, the likes of professionals of physical education, physical training, and disability sport are included as part of the broad domain. Expert opinions in this particular instance argue the scholarly boundaries of KSSL needs to be restricted to sport for all domain (45%) whereas fifty five percent suggest all sport domains should be included. Conclusion According to expert opinions, twenty five percent agree with the current state of categorization and seventy five percent believe rearrangement of lower order categories is necessary. The results of the current review expects to create thought provoking discussions amongst sport and leisure scholars, industry experts, and practitioners to promote sustainability and prosperity of the Sport and Leisure Studies.
