This study analyzed the cultural activity of science and technology performed by public and private sector from Lee Seung-man Government until Rho Tae-woo Government. The level of domestic science and
technology was elementary and the interest in cultural activity of science and technology was limited in
Lee Seung-man Government period. Therefore, the cultural activity of science and technology performed by
public sector was very weak except fostering science-technology manpower and there was no cultural
activity of science and technology performed by private sector. The cultural activity of science and
technology developed mainly based on public sector in Park Jung-hee Government period. Especially, as
Park Jung-hee Government claimed to support the scientification of whole nation, the cultural activity of
science and technology was carried out in various field. The press field of science and technology was
very active in the activity of private sector. The press activity of science and technology book published
by private publisher and the establishment of Korean Science Writer Association became point to start the
cultural activity of science and technology performed by private sector. The cultural activity of science and
technology which was carried out in Jun Doo-whan Government period expanded in public and private
sector. But the scientification of whole nation which Jun Doo-whan Government claimed to stand for
succeeded to previous Park Jung-hee Government. There were limitations that the cultural activity of
science and technology which was carried forward by center was not implemented systematically to the
region. The activity of science and technology journalism performed by private sector was very active in
Jun doo-whan Government period. Rho Tae-woo Government raised the recognition of science and
technology and operated program to enlighten science and technology widely, claiming to support the
scientification of youth. To legislate Science and Technology Promotion Act and to establish Science and
Technology Promotion Fund contributed to activating the cultural activity of science and technology.
Specially, the cultural activity of science and technology performed by private sector diversified. The typical
example was the formation of organizations to enlighten science and technology widely.
