Regarding the purpose of the metaverse guidelines, the focus is on the establishment and operation of the metaverse, and the focus is on overcoming difficulties in entering the industry, especially platform operators and platform users. Guidelines are presented for each stage of metaverse construction and operation. In the case of the case, in the metaverse construction stage, issues in terms of the general metaverse and issues specially dealt with in the regionally linked metaverse are presented in two ways. In terms of the content of the metaverse guidelines, guidelines are presented in three ways on issues related to the metaverse. Clear guidelines to be observed during construction and operation, points to be careful during construction and operation in case of ambiguous issues, and cases to be promoted as legislative tasks in case of ambiguous issues are divided and presented to give clear messages to the customers of the guidelines. (Research implications or Originality) The exploratory attempt of this study is judged to be valuable in providing important implications in the process of enacting the metaverse guidelines.
