AB - This study analyzes the conditions of support ordinance enactment by local governments for CIS Goryeoin and Sakhalin Koreans who are considered returned overseas Koreans. Excluding 17, 226 local governments out of the 243 were not equipped with legal or institutional mechanisms to support returnees. Only Sakhalin Koreans, who acquired Korean citizenship, had ordinances enacted by 10 local governments to induce a stable life with individual or group support. On the other hand, CIS Goryeoin, who have foreign citizenship, are considered as foreigners and are subject to multicultural laws in the region, and 7 local governments have enacted ordinances to provide group-oriented support. The policy implications are as followings. First, local governments need to make efforts to recognize the returning Koreans' issues as local affairs rather than state affairs. Second, the local government's policy for returning Koreans requires an attitude to resolve problems in real life rather than focusing on exchanges and cooperation. Third, as local governments perceived returning Koreans with foreign citizenship as multicultural targets and foreigners, policy considerations toward compatriots were low. Returned Koreans should be recognized as policy targets from the perspective of residents, and emphasis should be placed on support for settlement and capacity building. Fourth, institutional discrimination based on whether returned Koreans acquire nationality or not should be corrected. Fifth, it is necessary to strengthen the responsibility of local governments to promote the welfare of returnees.
