This paper was presented at ‘Rebuilding Public Administration’, which was promoted as a planning session of the Seoul Association of Public Administration in 2017. This study explored the problem of administrative reality and its solutions rather than the exact research paper form. The relocation of the administrative institutions to Se-jong City was planned by the legislation of the National Assembly, and constructed, moved to and completed according to the policy enforcement based on it. However, there are so many problems such as the presidential leadership of the government, the relationship between the National Assembly and the administrative government, the nationwide distribution of administrative functions, the inconveniences of administrative officials, the difficulty of forming the Sejong City life zone, and the security of government offices. In order to correct these problems, the government will have to invest a great deal of efforts and costs to Se-jong . It is necessary to relocate the Se-jong government office to the Seoul metropolitan area. First, it is absolutely necessary to restore administrative power. Second, it is necessary to reconstruct distributed administrative power. If President, the Blue House, the Seoul Government Complex, the Se-jong Government Complex, the Gwa-cheon Government Complex, and the Dae-jeon Government Complex are gathered together, administrative inefficiency and excessive cost waste can be solved. Only then we will be able to expect to promote communication and cooperation among President, government officials and ministries. Third, it is more important to boost the morale and vitality of public officials. Fourth, it is necessary to re-establish administration as the center of national government. We must overcome excessive political dominance, and therefore balance the relationship between the National Assembly and the administration, normalize relationship and smooth communication. Fifth, the administration-centered long-term national governance structure should be re-established. Sixth, in order to reestablish the right geographical location of the administration, it is necessary to move administrative capital to Seoul metropolitan area again.

Studies related to corruption focus on the fact that corruption can deteriorate a nation’s future state. By finding and analyzing the causes of corruption to stabilize a nation and to successfully carry out social and economic development around the world, studies are making efforts to suppress or prevent corruption (Purohit, 2012; Thomas, 2010; UN, 2012). However, not only identifying the causes but also discussions on the public’s corruption awareness at home and abroad have been raised as very important issues in responding to corruption. There are limits that awareness is a subjective concept and people tend to maximize the severity of corruption further (Razafindrakoto & Roubaud, 2006). However, various researches have been made to predict the status or economic situation of a nation by measuring the awareness on corruption, creating various issues through continuous awareness study. Based on this point, this study seeks to examine the relationship between the causes of corruption and people’s awareness on outside illegality of public officials. Accordingly, this study will raise a question “How will the factors causing corruption influence awareness on the outside illegality of public officials to examine the influence relationship between the causes of corruption and awareness on corruption, as well as to propose alternatives to suppress or prevent corruption in public offices. This research will particularly pay attention to the correlation with the administrative reforms of the Board of Audit and Inspection, which is the control mechanism of outside illegality, and divided the times by the changes of the board for analysis. The analysis results showed that sociocultural factors have negative influence on the awareness of corruption in South Korea. Not only the establishment of institutions and systems but also the determination to eliminate corruption both culturally and socially are also important to reduce corruption. In other words, the monitoring and control of corruption have systemized by enhancing the auditing activities, and now it is necessary to make efforts to change the chronic awareness or customs of the society.

The Regulatory Changes of Local Government in Korea

엄영호 , Son Sun Hwa | 2018, 28(4) | pp.237~259 | number of Cited : 1

As an active measure to bridge the gap between the regulatory regime and the field, local government-led improvement efforts are essential to successful regulatory reform. The regulatory reforms led by the central government are likely to be inconsistent with local regulatory enforcement. In promoting reform, however, local governments are still the agents of the central government not as subjects and participants. Therefore, this study focuses on the characteristics of the change of regulation creation, tightening, and deregulation of local governments, and examines the dimensions of the change of local regulations instead of the dichotomy of existing deregulation and strengthening regulations. In order to systematically analyze the actual conditions and dynamic features of local government regulation, we analyzed 5,722 changes in the regulation of newly-established, tightening, and deregulation among total local regulations in regulatory information portal system. As a result of the analysis of the dynamics of local regulation, the economic regulation has gradually eased and the new regulation of social regulation has been increasing rapidly. In addition, comparing the regional regulatory changes in the metropolitan area, the population and financial budget of the region and the number of regulations were not related. Although local governments have continuously made efforts to improve local regulations in accordance with the central government regulatory reforms, the level of regulatory autonomy of local governments is still insufficient, suggesting that local governments need to expand their regulatory discretion. Finally, we derive the implication that regulatory efforts should be made in order to achieve public interest gains and enhance the quality of regulation through the establishment of local regulatory reform governance.
