지방자치와 도시계획

Abstract

As urban planning affects the welfare of residents and the development of the region, the establishment of urban planning belongs to planning high-authority of the local government which has jurisdiction over the region. The central government has jurisdiction over urban planning before 2000, but it has been handed over to the local government since 2000. Accordingly, the cases which were criticized in terms of local autonomy have been diminished drastically. However, there are still some cases where the local government has insufficient in assuring planning high-authority. Most of all, unlike the other local governments, the autonomous district is not an independent object of establishing urban planning. The central government still strongly intervenes in urban planning. When the central government directly drafts an urban management planning, it should simply hear the opinions of si/gun, not consulting with it. The central government has authority to decide the urban management planning regarding the designation and change of a large-scale land use. The central government also does not approve or decide it ordem and to revise it for the reason of goal-fitness or appropriateness even though a draft urban management planning meets the standards. Although the urban management plan is directly connected to the local government’s interest, the procedure of hearing the opinions of residents is not sufficient when the urban management planning is established. Hearing the opinions of residents is recognized as a very routine procedure, just asking pros and cons, and public hearing is not mandatory. It is restricted to hear from the opinions of the local council. Legislation of urban planning should be improved to move toward harmonizing plan authority of the central government and that of the local government.
