ABSTRACT

This paper intends to identify the individual-level factors and their impact that influence on the number of municipal ordinance bills proposals by the local council members. To achieve the goal, the records of proposed ordinance bills by the eighth and ninth Seoul Metropolitan Council members have been analyzed and examined the factors that influenced on the bill proposals. The results showed that the education factor influenced on the proposal records that the council member who has higher education showed higher results than the others and the female council members proposed more jointly-submitted bills than the male members. The seniority of the members has also affected the proposal records, but its effect was differed depending on the types of ordinance bills. The re-elected members proposed bills more frequently by themselves or representatively, but the newly elected did them jointly more often. The proportional representative council members proposed more bills representatively or independently than the district council members. The members from the majority parties proposed bills more jointly than the members from the minority parties. In terms of the standing committee activities, the council members during their tenure who served multiple standing committees participated more actively in legislation activities than the others. However, the ex-professional career and age factors of the members did not influence on the bill proposal activities statistically significantly.
