현행 지방자치법상 자치사무의 쟁점사항 연구

The issues that are brought up in the relationship between the autonomous affairs andnational business under the Local Government Act include the imbalance in the distributionof work distribution, obscure range and limits of laws in the enactment of local ordinance,poor self-reliance ratio of local finance, nation's excessive control over local governments,and so forth. Following solutions to improve such problems are suggested; proper work distributiontoward local governments, application of the Principle of Statutory Reservation in theenactment of local ordinance, amplification of local finance, nation's rational guidance andsupervision toward autonomous affairs, and continuation of cooperative system. Future detailed solutions have been laid out to cope with the afore-said autonomousaffairs. First, it is desirable to set rational standards and principles and distribute nationalbusiness to local governments based on them. Second, it is advisable to clarify the rangeand limits of specific law in order to apply the Principle of Statutory Reservation in theenactment of local ordinance. Third, it is required that the central government expands a financial aid for localgovernments' better finance, local governments increase their own revenue, and local taxes,etc are to be increased. Fourth, the rational supervision of both the nation and localgovernments is also required, which means that relevant system needs to be corrected tohelp greatly ease the current supervision and control measures. We have briefly drawn up the institutionalization in several respects as developmentplans regarding autonomous affairs of local governments. What we are trying to emphasize,however, is to maintain the cooperative relationship with the national business in order toimprove the efficiency and effectiveness of autonomous affairs, which is consideredimportant. It is desirable that the nation and local governments in order to implement them need toestablish the organic cooperation network or the decentralized system with connectivity. Inother words, it is required to decentralize to reinforce the connection system between thenation and local governments under balanced and mutual-integrated logic. That's becauselocal governments' being developed and competitiveness being ensured are the mostimportant key to the national development and competitiveness.
