ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to examine the alternatives for the reorganization of autonomous district system in the Korean metropolitan cities in perspective of the self-governing competence. The reorganization proposals discussed by earlier studies can be summarized as following: (1) marginal change of functional relations between the metropolitan city government and district governments; (2) establishing new local entities equal to city governments; (3) replacing autonomous districts with administrative districts; (4) consolidation of autonomous districts. The paper attempts to evaluate those proposals in terms of metropolitan competitiveness and administrative efficiency, deep disparity and inequality among autonomous districts, autonomy and financial sufficiency of autonomous districts, and citizen self-government and participation. The result shows that both the establishing new local entities and the consolidation of autonomous districts is better than the others. Finally, the paper proposes we should adopt the consolidation of autonomous districts which are suffering from lack of self-sufficiency, regarding that it has higher political possibility of realization than the establishing new local entities.
