ABSTRACT

This study was conducted in order to find policy issues related to community making for the safety of residential life based on Korean by‐laws related to the safety of life and Japanese by‐laws for safe and secure village making and ultimately to propose policies for local governments’ safe village making. According to the results of analyses in this study, Korea is operating separately individual by‐laws based on relevant laws and ordinances of the central government and by‐laws related to safe city making as an effort to promote the safety of residential life in consideration of regional characteristics. In life safety activities, however, it is local self‐governing bodies that develop and distribute necessary programs, and residents participate in the programs passively. In Japan, by contrast, residents together with local governments and councils related to village making find and manage pending issues for residential safety of community using information provided by government offices, and they bring their needs to their local government. Moreover, by‐laws for supporting residents’ such activities are increasing gradually in each self‐governing body, and such laws enable comprehensive approaches to risk factors within community such as disasters, accidents, fire, and crimes. Thus, this study presented the need and directions for building residential life safety networks in local governments’ process of policy making for safe villages and residents’ safe life, and proposed strategies for effective operation of residential life safety networks and an operation model. Most of all, this study emphasized the need for local residents and communities to change their perception in building resident‐centered community with secured safety of residential life.
