ABSTRACT

This study develops a new framework for safety regulations. It analyzes the prevention regulations of fire-fighting service in Korea and looks for the innovations. As a new conceptual framework for the safety regulation, this paper introduces the concept of “self prevention system” as an alternative to the existing government-driven one. The theoretical backbone of the concept was from regulatory reform literature. The self-prevention system of fire prevention regulation could be viewed as a policy and regulatory combination which looks for market friendly policy means based on the reinterpretation of basic liability of national and local fire-fighting services and self-responsibilities on the regulatees' side. The system focuses on remedies for externalities and information provision as the basic function of national and local fire-fighting services. Major policy recommendations driven from the concept of the self-prevention system are; more stress on non-regulatory policy means, more reliance on market mechanism, and relocation of fire-fighting resources on the basis of needs for the remedies on externalities.
