주민참여제도의 활성화 방안 연구 : 직접민주주의 요소를 중심으로

Abstract

This study focused on the elements of direct democracy to vitalize the resident participation system. To this end, the resident recall system, resident referendum system, and resident ordinance proposition system, which are called the 3 Resident Participation Acts, identify the current status and problems, and propose revitalization plans. As a result of the study, the resident recall system and the referendum system were not used frequently due to the low voter turnout, and deregulation to activate them and training of experts to increase the use rate are needed. The resident ordinance proposition system should also increase accessibility centered on the resident association rather than interest groups. For efficient system operation, a committee composed of experts and the recovery of the local community are needed. To this end, public institutions are requested to play the role of supporting residents to become the main body after inducing residents' participation. Furthermore, in order to increase the acceptability of the policy, an empirical investigation on the policy demand of the residents and the results after the implementation of the system should be conducted, and the result should be reflected in the future local policy.
