  • This study examines the efficiency of using local cultural resources in local governments. The study does so by DEA(Data Envelope Analysis) using data from the year 2017 for 17 local governments in Korea. In addition, this study tries to estimate environmental efficiency of local cultural resources. For this, the 'Total Efficiency' including the output variables related to the local cultural resource environment was analyzed. After than It compared the 'Total Efficiency' with the 'Utilization Efficiency', to estimate the 'Environmental Efficiency' of local cultural resources. The followings are results which are significant statistically. Firstly, it was evaluated that five of the 17 local governments utilized the local cultural resources efficiently. Secondly, it was result that the inefficiency of the other local governments was relatively influenced by the economies of scale than PTE(Pure Technical Efficiency). Thirdly, It has been confirmed that environmental aspects such as cultural properties and cultural infrastructure have a considerable impact on the increase or decrease of efficiency in local governments. The difference in the efficiency of local governments are influenced by the population density. In order to improve the efficiency in the future, it is necessary to adjust the appropriate level of input according to the local population estimate, which is a major consumer of the local cultural resource utilization. In addition, the local festivals and village festivals held by local governments should be checked to improve in quality by eliminating inefficiencies. Also, it should be considered of environmental factors together, when analyzing the efficiency of the local cultural resource in local governments.

  • Objectives: The budget gap in the health sector of local governments affects the supply of health services, which can cause the health gap. This study classified local governments according to their financial characteristics, such as local financial independence and health budget level. It analyzed the health behaviors and disease prevalence of local residents to examine the effect of local government financial investment on the health of local residents. Methods: To classify types according to the financial characteristics of local governments, financial independence and the health budget data for 17 local governments were collected from the local fiscal yearbook of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. The prevalence of chronic diseases and healthy behavior was compared using the 16,333 data of adults between the ages of 30 and 65 years among the original data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2020). Results: Cluster analysis was used to classify local governments into five clusters according to the health financial capacity type. A comparison of the prevalence of local residents by cluster revealed a similar prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. On the other hand, the obesity rate (P < 0.01), high-risk drinking rate (P < 0.01), aerobic physical activity rate (P < 0.001), and healthy eating practice rate (P < 0.001) were significantly different. In addition, an analysis of the odds ratio based on the Seoul area revealed a higher risk of health behavior of non-Seoul residents. Conclusions: It is necessary to review the universal health promotion project budget considering the degree of regional financial vulnerability from the viewpoint of health equity to narrow the health gap among regions.

  • The devolution of central government's affairs to local governments for several occupational safety and health(OHS) administration affairs was tried by Lee Myungbak's government in 2010. It seems that the trial was eventually failed since only trivial 3 items among 25 trials were made for the devolution. It was found that there was a procedural fault since stake-holders and experts were excluded during preparing the plan. Therefore validity and problems were not properly reviewed. It was also found that the devolution of the OHS administration affairs from the central government to local governments has several disadvantages such as high possibility of deregulation. The devolution of the OHS affairs to local governments is contradictory to uniform principle of safety standards and principle of coincidence of empowerment and responsibility. Therefore it is concluded that the devolution of the OHS affairs to local governments is inappropriate.

  • Administrative works of local governments in Japan always have been led by central government. Local government organizations have gotten used to control of central government, whose organization is divided vertically into divisions. Such organizations as lack of cooperation of each administrative division could not define strategic goal appropriate for their district independently and could not give an efficient and optimized solution to their strategic goal. Under existing management system, it will be difficult for local governments to rapidly adapt to changing society. Under these circumstances, it is necessary for local governments to structure new management system independent on central government's instructions in order to manage appropriately.

  • The Korean central government has been investing a lot of efforts to promote performance of local governments. For example, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOPAS) supported the local governments to develop and provide with a 'balanced score card' and a 'customer satisfaction innovation. ' Many other central ministries also conducted individual evaluations for local governments in their substantive policy areas. These evaluation systems of 78 appraisals for local governments conducted by the MOPAS and other ministries had made the local governments to work harder. However, most local governments have appealed their 'reform fatigue' caused by the overlapping evaluation systems. In this context, the MOPAS initiated merging the evaluations into a co-evaluation system under the new Government Performance Evaluation Act of 2006. In this process of introduction of new evaluation system, there are two significant movements. Firstly, as Korean Government has strong information technology, MOPAS has developed 'Virtual Policy Studio (VPS)' which evaluates the performance of each local government with on line. In other words, in the co-evaluation system for local government performance most evaluation steps are implemented by computer and Internet. So most stakeholder can access and work on the VPS in real time when they want to. And the other thing is that cooperation among stakeholders has been occurred in the co-evaluation system. Furthurmore the cooperative governance is systemized and sustain for a long time because MOPAS made IT based co-evaluation system. Therefore this paper intends to illustrate the process of introduction of VPS, main process of co-evaluation system based on VPS and analyze collaborative governance of the co-evaluation system.
