Abstract

The local autonomy system of Korea was revived by the election of local council members in 1991, and the first local councils and basic provincial councils were formed. At this point, beyond the realization of local autonomy, the age of decentralization is being discussed, Discussions about the expansion of self-governing legislative powers, which are essential parts of realizing local autonomy, and the strengthening of their capacities are actively underway. Strengthening the capacity of self-governing legislation can lead to opinions of residents in the nearest area and reflect the rights of residents. To this end, it is true that there have been limitations in raising the capacity of self-governing legislation to the national legislative level, even though various systems such as legislative evaluation and personal advisors have been attempted. This study aims to strengthen the capacity of self-governing legislation and the purpose of this study was to examine the problems of the Seoul metropolitan city and suggest ways to improve them. First of all, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is one of the local governments in terms of the capital of Korea and functions as a partner of the central government. In addition, the population is concentrated and the living environment is complex and diverse, reflecting the diverse needs of citizens. Therefore, the demand for the self-governing legislation of the residents increased rapidly, and congressional members' aggressive acceptance of the increased demand resulted in an increase in the initiative of the legislative ordinance. As a task to promote the present self-government legislative capacity, the problem is limited to self-governing legislation. Although autonomous legislation is also a part of national law, access to a comprehensive approach may be necessary, but if the problem is solely confined to autonomous legislation, it may not reflect the changing legislative environment. In addition, there is a limit in that the emphasis is on strengthening the capacity of each member of the legislature as a solution to strengthen the capacity of local councils' autonomous legislation. This study divides the countermeasures for these problems into the support of individual members and the support of the local councils at the organizational level. First of all, in order to strengthen the capacity of individual counselors, it is necessary to establish an education system that enables continuous re-education and training. In addition, through the establishment of research centers that support the function of the local councils, it is necessary to strengthen the integrated organizational capacity from the demand survey to the legislation of the self-governing legislation, and it should be accompanied by the specialization of competence for participating and responding in the national legislative process.
