Abstract This study analyzes statutory revision opinions derived from interpretations of the Building Act between 2011 and 2023, focusing on their implementation outcomes and characteristics. Approximately 40 percent of the opinions were reflected in legislative amendments, and 95 percent of the adopted opinions were revised within three years. The category labeled Requiring Clarification showed the highest implementation rate, while Proposing Policy Need Review demonstrated lower implementation due to the need for additional policy judgment. Most adoptions occurred through Detail Addition, whereas revisions communicated only through the Operational Guidelines Issuance showed limitations in public accessibility. Analysis of unimplemented cases identified provisions associated with MOLIT Improvement Plans, Legal Revision Needed, and cases in which maintaining the existing statute was more appropriate. Although statutory revision opinions contribute to improvements in the Building Act, the proportion of unimplemented items indicates the need for ongoing monitoring and stronger coordination between the Ministry of Government Legislation and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
