From the perspective of client-oriented administration, the study introduces the basic structure of Urban Inormation System (UIS) and examines problems and new strategies of UIS in Korean local governments. The study selects five metropolitan cities for a case study. According to this case study, UIS in Korea are focused on AM/FM and internally used only by practitioners. No government surveyed what their citizens want to get from UIS. To solve these problems, the study proposes developing strategies for client-oriented UIS as follows. First, local governments could use policy delphi technique to sum up the citizens' needs on UIS. Second, they need to pay more attention to the diversity and transmutability of administration zone and consider the importance of the connection between administration zone and attribute data collected on them. Third, UIS needs to keep a balance between AM/FM and living GIS. Fourth, internet UIS needs to be constructed which enables citizens' access to UIS more easily. Finally, GIS education and client-oriented administrative education need to be combined to improve government employees' mind for UIS.

This study aims to analyze the redistricting problems in non-autonomous Gu. Although non-autonomous Gu is a just local administrative district, it has been regarded as an important and basic spatial unit in electoral redistricting. By the reform of Public Official Election Act in 2012, however, non-autonomous Gu is distinguished from local governments like Si, Gun and autonomous Gu, in boundary delimitation for the 19th National Assembly election, and some are divided into a part of another constituency. About these background, this study points out the following problems. First, in national scale, the reform of Act made the malapportionment in constituencies of non-autonomous Gus, comparing with those of local governments. Second, there was the discriminative application of Act in each non-autonomous Gu and it will make the malapportionment worse in next election, considering the reorganization of local administrative system. Finally, this study propose that it is necessary to select one from a variety of redistricting principles, especially between the prevention of gerrymandering, the representativeness of local government and the apportionment, prior to another amendment of redistricting system and the debate about political reform.

Based on the empirical analysis result of informatization in Kang Won province, the major goals of diffusion for the advanced informational society may be summarized as follows: (i) The basic goal for local informatization, an affluent wealthy society for our life, should be come true. (ii) The informatization should be forwarded in order to accelerate the domestic industrial promotion. (iii) The formation of nucleus cities for information backbone in Kang Won province & local informatization based on balance and combination between city and rural and between regions should be forwarded. In order to establish the domestic informatization referred above, the following specific practice should be accompanied. (a) The effective separation of role and affair on local informatization between central and local governments should be studied. (b) The financial resources should be considered, due to the economic unbalance between locals. (c) The preparation for local informatization spreading method by private enterprise's initiative rather than the government's. (d) The specification of the systematic support for the local informatization business by central government.

The records management system in Korea has a short history of about 20 years. However, the system is relatively stable. This compressed development has been mainly in public records. This is because the laws and regulations related to private records management were insufficient. Fortunately, Two local permanent records management institutions have recently been established. Therefore, interest in the management of local records has been growing. The Management of private records is an important part of the management of local records. The collection of private records is based on ordinances established by local governments. This study aims to analyze the ordinances of local governments, which are the legal basis for the collection and management of private records. The subject of analysis is the ordinance related to the management of private records that are currently established in Korea. The progress of the study analyzed the current state of the ordinance, the background of the ordinance, and the contents of the ordinance regarding the management of private records. The results of this study can be used as basic research for reference in the enactment of the ordinances related to the management of private records in the future since the ordinances for collecting and managing private records in Korea targets.

After establishing national greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, the South Korean government has been pursuing sector- and industry-specific greenhouse gas emission reduction measures; in support of which, metropolitan city / state governing entities, such as Gyeonggi Province, etc., have been in lock steps by establishing and executing climate change measures that are appropriate for the regional characteristics. However, in the case of local governments, difficulties abound due to the fact that the per-unit greenhouse gas emission amounts and the future emission estimates for establishing reduction targets are not clear. In order to establish correct climate change measure policies, the policy directions and the assessment of verified greenhouse gas emission amounts would need to serve as the basis, and along with the national level climate change effect and vulnerability assessment, there's a need to develop methodologies that take into consideration the local characteristics and conditions. To this end, this study calculated the greenhouse gas emission amounts of the City of Siheung, a basic local government in Gyeonggi Province, by using the GEBT (Greenhouse gas Emission Business-as-usual Tool) developed by the National Institute of Environmental Research to facilitate easy calculations of BAU (business-as-usual) emission quantities by local governing entities.

Issues and problems in formulating South Korea's water resources policy are discussed in terms of water quantity and quality. South Korean needs both water conservation and water supply capability for the growing population and economic activities. The government has attempted to build more large-scale dams to store and supply water for residential, farming and industrial uses, but the environmentalists who emphasize conservation and environmental protection oppose the government. The environmentalists are popular among the general public. Water quality has been deteriorating from point- ad non-point sources. urban and farm runoffs are serious pollutants. All want by preserve water quality. There is no dispute on this matter between the government and the environmentalists. Money is hard to come by to preserve water quality. Economic and financial crises and no self-sufficient local governments' revenue structure are pessimistic. Basic survey on water resources, hydrology and hydraulic is badly needed for the future water resources planning.

It is very important to know mean and confidence interval of water-quality constituents such as BOD for water-quality control and management of rivers and reservoirs effectively. The mean and confidence interval of BOD at Anseong2 and Hwangguji3 sampling stations which are located at the border of local governments in Anseong Stream were estimated and analyzed in this paper using Bootstrap technique which is one of non-parametric statistics. The results of Bootstrap were compared with arithmetic mean, geometric mean, Biweight method mean as a point estimator and distribution mean came from the appropriate probability distribution of Log-normal. In Bootstrap technique 12 data set was randomly selected in each year and 1000 samples was produced to get parameter of population. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) of Microsoft Excel was utilized in Bootstrap. It was revealed that the Bootstrap technique can be used to explain more rigorously and robustly the achievement or violation of BOD target concentration in Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
