The Korea Local Administration Review

The residents’ association is an organization to perform matters on strengthening citizen autonomy activities, such as operating a citizen autonomy center by being established in an eup division, myeon division or dong division, and consisting of residents. To establish a residents’ association, local governments enact ordinances for each local government. Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security creates and informs standard ordinances on residents’ associations to help establish and amend ordinances of local governments.
The standard ordinances on residents’ associations were enacted in 2013 and amended six times as of today, May 2021. The local governments reflect characteristics of each region based on the standard ordinance, and enact and amend ordinances on residents’ associations for each local government.
Hence, this study investigated residents’ associations and standard ordinances on residents’ associations, performed a total investigation of ordinances on residents’ associations of national governments (as of February 2021), and analyzed actual status on how each article is structured. Based on these, this study aimed to analyze current status based on the difference from the standard ordinances, and help and contribute to local governments, and persons and institutions concerned with citizen Autonomy. Currently, there are no researches on ordinances of residents’ association, and researches on analysis of current status via total investigation.
