This study aims to analyze the current state of safety management of public sculptures installed by local governments in Jeollanam-do, identify the main causes of accidents through case analysis, and propose effective safety management strategies. The analysis revealed that the primary causes of accidents include natural disasters, structural and material vulnerabilities, insufficient maintenance, budget allocation and execution issues, as well as limitations in safety standards and institutional frameworks. In particular, climate factors such as typhoons, strong winds, and heavy rainfall directly affected the structural stability and material durability of the sculptures. Furthermore, weaknesses in the design and construction stages, along with the absence of systematic maintenance, were found to significantly increase the likelihood of accidents. For sustainable management of public sculptures and the assurance of public safety, it is essential to establish an integrated safety management system that encompasses design and construction, operation and maintenance, and institutional aspects. Such a system will enable the long-term preservation of the social and economic value of public sculptures as regional cultural assets.
