This study analyzes records and works of the local urban planning committee. In specific, the items which the Chungbuk Urban Planning Committee has reviewed are examined by the three criteria of time (1975-1998), region (city vs country), and target (project and facilities). Firstly, the study presents that the number of the items has been constantly increased since the establishment of the Committee. It also finds that the introduction of local autonomy system has strengthened this upward trends. Secondly, applications from the urban areas including Cheongju, Chungju, Jecheon have exceeded those from the rest countryside, which partially reflects the phenomenon of rapid urbanization within Chungbuk Province. Thirdly, the residential improvement and development projects have been given the top priority under the local autonomy system. In the same context, the public facilities to accommodate the newly inmigrated population have been the main items for planning screening.
