The Korea Local Administration Review

The purpose of this study is to compare the System of Evaluating LocalGovernments in Korea and the UK and suggest some implications to Korea. Toachieve this, we study literature review and preceding research, and make aframework to compare the System of Evaluating Local Governments.As a result of analysis, there are little effort for Combined Evaluation ofLocal Government(CELG) to develop the evaluation systems. On the other hand,BV, CPA, and CAA made ceaseless efforts to develop the evaluation systems,and central and local governments cooperate with each other. We propose thatthe legal systems of CELG should be improved, participatory evaluation whichprovides for the active involvement of stakeholders should be made. In order toinduce ‘poor’ local governments to be ‘excellent’ local governments, we shouldmake specific plans.
