지방자치단체 수행사무 구분체계의 개편방향

초록

The first purpose of this study is to develop the principles and criteria which can be employed to distinguish the local government's own functions from the delegated functions from the central government, and then reclassify the local government functions actually implemented in Seoul Metropolitan Government by utilizing the principles and criteria developed in this study. This analysis is expected to contribute to clarify the debates on the distribution of functions between central government and local governments. The second purpose of the study is to grope the alternatives to the current classification system of local governments through reviewing the German and Japanese cases. For these analyses, this study used the national assembly's inspection list requested to the Seoul Metropolitan Government by the Administration and Local Autonomy Committee, the Construction and Transportation Committee, and the Environment and Labor Committee of the National Assembly. This study suggests that the classification of local government functions should be dependent primarily upon the expression in the statutes. As the directions for more fundamental change this study proposes the abolition of the delegated functions by the central government and the establishment of the trusted functions like in Japan. In addition this study suggest the simplification of the classification system through reclassifying the shared responsibility into local government's own function and central government function according to the substantial property of functions and the virtual location of responsibilities.
