This study investigates the problems of welfare decentralization reform implemented by Roh Mu-Hyun Administration and examines a policy direction for improving the decentralization. The reform has caused various problems. Local governments have suffered from heavy financial burden. Some social services, devolved into local governments, have not adequately provided as before. In addition, fiscal disparity among localities has increased. To deal with these problems, experts have proposed several plans, such as restoring the devolved programs to national subsidy programs, inventing a new social welfare grant, or introducing block grants. This study suggests that some of the devolved welfare programs should be restored to the national subsidies, since they cannot be maintained properly by local governments. Also, we need to adjust financial responsibilities between the central and local government in the national subsidy programs. Introducing block grant can be one satisfying solution to enhance local autonomy while maintaining the financial responsibility of central government. In some national subsidy programs, the financial contribution by the central government should be increased to alleviate financial burden of local governments.

This article is researched to analyze what kinds of projects were conducted by the special grant, the balanced development special account(BSDA), and the municipal projects in the case of Sangjucity and Seochengun, in the introduction time of the bock grants of BSDA and the municipal development plan in 2010. Furthermore this study presents the problems and the direction of improvement. For the territorial integration of a regional development in long-term, I suggest that the spacial grant and BSDA are necessary to be integrated because of ambiguous difference.

This paper tries to show the efficiency of water financing between central and local governments. From the year of 2017, the operation and maintenance costs for change water pipes has been provided by central government as block grants system(RDSA: Regional Development Special Account). Even though the water financing is responsible for local government, water drought and high production cost in poor area affects the quality of life nowadays. Then, fiscal transfer through block grant for water financing has been decided to invest regional SOC. The purpose of the paper sheds light on the function of the block grant for public provision by water financing. The firstly tried empirical results are based on the survey from local governments and ministry of environments. The point of the empirical analysis shows that the local governments does not have proper measurement for unexpected water leakage and termination until now. In a policy manner, the paper raises the issues about benefit principle for water users by the increase of tariffs. In order to do so, the paper investigates the relationship between the water provision and fiscal status of each local governments.
