ABSTRACT

This study examines the structural limitations of the 「Military Airfields and Military FiringRanges Noise Prevention and Compensation Act」 (enacted in 2020). The current system focuses primarilyon monetary compensation forresidents affected by military operations, failing to achieve substantialnoise reduction or structural solutions. Ambiguities in the division of responsibilities between theMinistry of National Defense and local governments, along with the lack of coordination amongurban planning, land-use, and environmental policies, have resulted in recurring damages andadministrative inefficiencies. In contrast, international cases show that advanced systems operatepreventive management frameworks that integrate relocation, land acquisition, zoning restrictions,and long-term management plans,ratherthan relying solely on cash compensation. Accordingly, thisstudy proposes a paradigm shift from compensation-centered to management-centered policy. Toachieve this, legal reform, establishment of multi-agency cooperation systems, and the strengthening of governance based on resident participation are required. The study ultimately presents a sustainableinstitutional design that harmonizes the legitimacy of military operations with the quality of life oflocal residents.
