ABSTRACT

This study categorizes the functions of water management policy according to the differences in domain and policy values, as well as analyzing the overlapping policy, and also suggests effective improvement measures to minimize the problems caused by overlapping functions. The analysis results for the policy domain center on the Ministry of Environment. Water quality control and management were found to be at the heart of the work of the Ministry, however, water supply control occupied the fringes, and river conservation resided in no man’s land. In addition, underground-water management and dam administration were found to be on the peripheries of the work of the Ministry of Environment, while the management of hot springs and the development of water resources were considered to be largely alien territories. In terms of measures to improve overlapping policy functions, this study suggests the readjustment of the major functions of government departments, the establishment of a government organization for integration and arbitration, and integrated administration among several government departments. The contribution of the present study is that it goes beyond simple suggestions to improve the problems of water control, and is based on a close investigation of why overlapping functions occur.
