In the early 1990s the majority of foreigners were factory workers came from Southeast Asia. Since then, a huge influx of many foreign brides has been brought about throughout an international marriage with Koreans, In consequence Korean society rapidly goes toward multi-cultural society. Now, it has faced with the new challenges raised in multi-cultural societies. The purpose of this study is to explore what local government should do for realization of multi-cultural society, and the task and roe of the local government for the community adaptation of the multi-cultural families. In this perspective, this paper have dealt with some of the issues of multi-cultural society. First of all, the local government should play a pivotal role in building a local community by establishing the network systems with other local governments. Second, local government should understand clear meaning of multi-culturalism and stop providing paternal programs. Third, local government should make proper local ordinance and reform wrong existing administration systems. The establishing multi-cultural policy community means obviously making linkages with other communities.
