  • This study conducted empirical research from the behavioral perspective with a survey to residents in order to grope for directions to develop a local council. The results gained from the research can be summed up as below: First, according to the result of evaluation on the essential roles (resident representative, checks, and legislation functions) of the council, the residents could not see any improvement in general. Regarding parliamentary activities and administrative changes, they also hardly felt any great changes. Second, according to the result of detailed evaluation on the council activities, the residents regard the collection of residents' opinions or the division exclusively in charge of collecting opinions to be very important. Third, in the developmental evaluation on the local council, they consider it is very crucial to induce outside specialists to secure expertise and establish the system to activate residents' participation. Above results imply that for the development of local councils, it is essential for the councils to play their roles responsibly as well as positively through communication and negotiation with the residents. It is thought that the research results will contribute to explaining the directions to develop local councils both practically and theoretically.

  • It is necessary to analyze the budget power during the budget process of the local council, paying attention to strengthening the capacity of local council and reinforcing expertise to secure accountability. The budget power of council is expressed in various terms such as power of the purse and the authority to control the budget, and focuses on the role of control and check in the council's budget process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that political·administrative variables, social·economical variables affect the budget power of local council. The budget power of councils was set as the budget net modification rate and the period for processing the budget bill at the plenary session. And the effects of various variables were checked. As a result, the local council confirmed that there was a lack of checks and controls in the budget process.

  • The 2018 local elections completely upended the composition of Busan's city council, with the council membership changing from being solidly and consistently conservative to being over 80% liberal. What explains this anomalous outcome? While existing literature suggests the outcome of the 2018 city council elections was the consequence of a combination of structural and strategic factors, such as the decline of regional voting, we argue that the individual-level evaluation of President Moon Jae-in is one of the primary factors driving this result. Although coattails effects are commonly considered in concurrent national legislative elections, the Presidentialized and nationalized politics of Korea makes it possible for Presidential elections to affect local elections as well. We assess our explanation through an analysis of repeated cross-sectional survey data collected just before the 2018 local elections. The results of the analysis show that support for the Democratic Party is very strongly predicted by individual-level evaluation of President Moon. When considered in the context of the timing of presidential and local elections, the results suggest that Presidential coattail effects are capable of destabilizing established political patterns, such as regional voting, if perhaps only in a sporadic and idiosyncratic fashion, depending on whether or not local elections are held early on in a President's term.

  • The libraries of local councils contribute to realize democracy and promote national interests and the welfare of the people, by supporting democratic legislation activities and congressional politics of the local councilors. This study analyzes the libraries of local councils at 17 regional local governments, and it confirms that there are various deviations in their library services such as material acquisitions and legislative information services by regional groups. On the basis of that analysis, the study summarizes the ways for improving the service qualities of the libraries of local councils as follows. First, it is necessary to organize the institute for national council materials. Second, the cooperative network systems should be constructed to share council publications. Third, the provisions related the copyright law and the national assembly library act have to be modified. Fourth, the libraries of local councils share their own materials focusing on digital publications. Fifth, the National Assembly Library expands their legislative information services to the libraries of local councils.

  • According to the change in media environment, a support plan for local broadcast has been required. In terms of legal and institutional support for the development of local broadcast, the enactment of special Act for local broadcast has become a breakthrough. In this point of view, we analyzed the performance and the limitation of the special Act. As a literature research, analyzing the literature and related-ordinances, we have sought legal and institutional support plans for the local broadcast. As a result, with the Local Broadcast Development Council being in charge of legislative right and responsibility, a plan to empower them to have legal and institutional authority should be drawn; another plan to secure independence in operating a fund and to promote the capability to produce local broadcast programs and the distribution system should be drawn; the other elaborate plan for the locality index that assesses the locality is required. Local broadcast should be on a way to secure not only public interest and concern but locality and diversity; legal and institutional plans should be sought.
