As of 2016, the cremation rates in the capital area are 91.2% in Incheon Metropolitan City, 87.5% in Seoul Special City, and 87.1% in Gyeonggi-do Province, of which Incheon has the highest rate, and cremation of general corpses through the online cremation reservation service of the funeral information system is continuously increasing every year. And as of 2017, the ratio of the cremation for those outside the jurisdiction (residents of other regions) among the users of public cremation establishment in Incheon, is about 32%. As the supply capacity is expected to reach the limit within several years due to the increase in demand for such a cremation facility, I would like to suggest a policy as follows. The expansion of cremation supply capacity by increasing the number of operations in the cremation furnace; The attractions of operating funds through contracts for joint use of the cremation facility with other local governments and investment funds for the expansion of cremation facilities; The plan for controlling the demand in cremation such as an increase in cremation charge for those outside the jurisdiction(residents of other regions), should be considered.

As of 2016, Incheon Metropolitan City's cremation ratio was 91.2%, which is the second highest among all metropolitan municipalities nationwide (Busan Metropolitan City: 92.0%). In addition, the number of cremation at the outside of the jurisdiction has been steadily increasing since 2014. It is analyzed that the number of cremation at the inside of the jurisdiction is 16,004, which is 67.3% of total number of cremation, and the number of cremation at the outside of the jurisdiction is 7,779, which is 32.7%. We would like to suggest the following policy suggestions to solve the problems caused by the increase in cremation demand. First, the number of operations of cremation in public facilities located in Gyeonggi-do adjacent to Incheon Metropolitan City is needed to be increased. Second, the extension of the time limit for the use of cremation facilities of the dead people at the outside of the jurisdiction is needed. Third, the charge for cremation at the outside of the jurisdiction has to be increased. Fourth, improvement measures such as relaxation of residency requirements for deaths at the inside of the jurisdiction, who used the public facilities in Incheon Metropolitan City, should be undertaken.

On the basis of 2017, the cremation rate in capital area was 89.0% which was much higher than the national average cremation rate(84.6%). Due to the short supply of cremation facilities in accordance with the increased number of cremation cases every year, the demand for cremation from the residents outside of the jurisdiction area with no cremation facilities was increased, so that the residents in the jurisdiction area had difficulties in using the Online Cremation Reservation Service in Funeral Information System. Thus, this study aims to make suggestions for policies as follows.First, on the basis of 2017, the demand-supply rate of cremation facilities in Gyeonggi-do was 139.4%, which means that the demand for cremation largely exceeds the ability to supply cremation. Therefore, first, in the level of Gyeonggi-do, the expanded supply of cremation facilities should be induced by carrying forward policies such as financial support to the basic local governments installing cremation facilities and expansion of incentives support to the residents of regions attracting cremation facilities. Second, it would be necessary for the central government to expansively conduct the support standard price and government subsidy rate(70%) for the new construction of cremation facilities and the establishment of cremation furnaces. Third, there should be some policies to decrease the inflow of residents outside of the jurisdiction area by raising the fee for using cremation facilities outside of the jurisdiction area of Seoul Metropolitan City and also expanding the application of a sliding scale of cremation hours.

온라인 예약서비스를 통한 e하늘장사정보시스템의 2011년도 이용건수는 37,784구이었으나, 2017년도는 56,945구로 50.7%가 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이용 증가로 관련한 서울특별시의 공설화장시설 운영개선이 다음과 같은 정책들이 시행되어야 할 것이다. 첫째, 현재 공설화장시설의 입지 지역주민과의 원만한 협상을 통한 화장로 추가 설치, 둘째, 서울특별시와 인접한 경기도 관내 지방자치단체와 공동으로 공설화장시설 건립을 위한 협력사업추진, 셋째, 서울시립묘지 내 개장 전용 화장시설의 설치를 통한 화장수요의 분산, 끝으로 서울특별시 관내 주민을 제외한 기타 지역주민에 대한 공설화장시설 이용시간대 차별 운영 확대 및 화장요금 인상 등을 통한 화장수요를 억제하는 방안에 대한 시행이 이루어져야 한다.

2011년 1월 1일부터 2017년 12월 31일까지의 기간 중 e하늘장사정보시스템 온라인 예약서비스를 통한 서울특별시 공설화장시설의 지역별 이용 현황에 대한 비교 분석결과, 총 이용건수 314,877구 중 서울시민이 225,828구로 71.7%, 경기도 고양시 등 기타지방자치단체 주민이 89,049구인 28.3%로 높게 나타났다. 이로 인해 많은 서울시민들이 상(喪)을 당한 어려움 속에 화장예약을 하지 못해 4~5일장의 장례식을 치르거나 타지방자치단체로 원정화장을 가는 등의 문제점이 매년 증가 추세를 나타내고 있다. 위와 같은 문제점을 해소하기 위한 정책 추진의 일환으로 서울특별시 공설화장시설의 이용률이 높은 타지방자치단체와의 공설화장시설의 확충이나 신설을 위한 공동이용방안 추진, 중장기적으로 서울특별시 자체의 공설화장시설의 확충 추진 등을 통한 공설화장시설의 공급 확대가 이루어져야 한다. 또한, 수도권 소재 타지방자치단체 공설화장시설(4개소)의 화장로 가동횟수 확대, 타지방자치단체 주민에 대한 화장요금 인상 등을 통한 화장수요의 분산 및 억제 정책이 시행되어야 할 것이다.

In the study, we show the annual average increasing rate of death bodies in the capital area was 2.1% while the annual average increasing rate of cremated bodies was 4.5%. As the annual average increasing rate of cremated bodies was about 2.1 times higher than the annual average increasing rate of death bodies, the increase rate of cremated bodies contrast to the increase rate of death bodies was relatively high. Also, the cremation rate of the capital area was increased by 9.5% from 80.3% in 2011 to 89.8% in 2017 while the increase rate of cremated bodies was 27.2%(N=21,694 people) from 79,866 people in 2011 to 101,560 people in 2017. Thus, the increase rate of cremated bodies contrast to the increase of cremation rate of the capital area was relatively very high. On the basis of 2017, the utilization rate of public cremation facilities in by capital area was 94.5% in Incheon Metropolitan City, 91.1% in Seoul Metropolitan City, and 20.9% in Gyeonggi-do, which showed huge differences in the utilization rate of public cremation facilities in the jurisdiction area of by capital area. Focusing on the actual state shown in the results of this study above, it would be necessary for Seoul Metropolitan City to carry forward a supply & demand policy of cremation facilities through the extension of cremation furnaces, for Gyeonggi-do to carry forward a policy to build the public cremation facilities focusing on the basic local government in the jurisdiction area, and for Incheon Metropolitan City to enforce the measures for the joint use of cremation facilities with the basic local government in the adjacent Gyeonggi-do jurisdiction area in order to improve the efficiency of the operation of cremation facilities.
