Korea's public institutions produce mandatory production records under the "Public Records Management Act" and submit statistics on production status to the National Archives of Korea every year. However, there is a difference between the actual status of compulsory records produced by local governments and the status statistics submitted to the Archives. Based on this, an improvement plan was proposed after identifying problems with the production management system of the production obligation records. In particular, the scope of the production obligation records is ambiguous, and the person in charge lacks an understanding of the specific scope. In addition, only certain work-oriented records are being produced. As such, the improvement plan shall clearly determine the target of the local government's production obligation records, and the person in charge of the affairs shall understand it and implement an ordinance on the production and management of the local government's production obligation records.
