주민자치회에 관한 법적 검토

Residents’ association has been enforced to invigorate grassroots local autonaomy. It purposes to promote the neighborhood autonaomy focused on local residents, to improve administrative service by the cooperation between local governments and residents, and to encourage sense of local community and democratic participation. Residents’ association is composed of local residents. It carries out a variety of tasks that are necessary for the reconciliation of residents and regional development. The association also performs business which has been delegated and entrusted by the local government, law and ordinance. At this point, there is a difference between Community center and Residents’ association. Residents’ association has a attribute of public law and public interest. Since the Act on the establishment and management of Residents’ association, tentatively named, has not been legislated, the relationships with existing organizations is ambiguous. Moreover the issues, like the legal character or the possibility of delegating and entrusting local government’s tasks, are not determined legally. For this reason, this paper attempted to examine these issues concretely and specificly by type, based on LOCAL AUTONOMY ACT, SPECIAL ACT ON THE DECENTRALIZATION AND REFORM OF THE LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM and so on. In addition, this paper reviewed matters of Residents’ association’s, such as establishment, management, composition, finance, not only to make a suggestion for the Act on the establishment and management of Residents’ association, but also to enact effective ordinance which considers the distinct characteristics of the region.
