화장시설 요금체계의 문제점과 개선 방향에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study argues that the important thing is to come up with a measure to settle proper cremation culture so that crematory facilities can be recognized as resident’s convenient facilities. In this respect, this study estimates that a current charging system of crematory facilities has a lot of problems. Therefore, this study inspects an operation condition and a charging system of the facilities, analyzing the problems and suggests an appropriate measure to enhance a charging system of crematory facilities In an effort to meet the conditions, authors gathered data of the nation’s cremation rate, a payment system of crematory facilities, a three-year-balancing accounts of Seoul Metropolition facilities Management Corporation, and the current status of use of inside and outside Seoul metropolition Memorial Park The study analyzes the correlation coming from a difference on regional cremation rate and a fee system of crematory facilities. In addition, the study calculates utilization cost per corpse in order to count an actualization of the utilization cost of crematory facilities After analyzing the condition, the authors estimated that receiving utilization cost as a form of differentiating inside facilities from outside ones does not make an inducement to increase cremation rate. Rather, differential rate system is likely to create inequality between regions and can be an obstacle to build new facilities In a measure to improve these, first of all, it is needed to suggest a reasonable standard on calculating charging system of the facilities. There are two ways of a reasonable standard. One is to charge differential usage rates by weight of corpse. The other is to apply differential rates according to the time of use. Secondly, in view of legal system on using crematory facilities, it is needed to present across- theboard criteria on a specific form of ordinance Finally, the existing grant of crematory is also not a proper way to cope with the demand on cremation In conclusion, the authority is encouraged to make a reasonable measure to aid a grant.
