ABSTRACT

Among American resident organizations with a great variety of institutional features, there is a type of institution which is distinguished from other types of resident organization in its establishment to formal status. This institution so called “residential community associations (RCA)” is incorporated as an association with formal corporate personality. The key task of this study is theoretical explanation on this institution. Theoretically, the institutional base of RCAs can be explained on the theory of the commons; the function can be explained on the theory of public service provision; and the political status can be explained on the theory of special-purpose district. RCAs have so far grown to have positive effects on the relations with local governments in the US federal system since the early 1960s. While the RCA institution shows very significant implication for resident self-governance in Korea, more detailed consideration is required to accept this institution due to the political and administrative difference between USA and Korea.
