자치단체간 협력사업의 유형별 성공,실패요인 분석과 추진방안 = An Empirical Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Success or Failure of Cooperative Projects among Local Governments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is designed to identify a variety of policy alternatives that are most suitable for intergovernmental cooperative projects, which have been classified on a category basis. Intergovernmental cooperative projects are initially classified into nine categories based upon their respective characteristics and features. An empirical analysis based on surveys of 244 local officials in charge of intergovernmental relationships is then performed to determine the factors affecting the success or failure of cooperative projects in the course of their implementation. It is found that financial factors are the most crucial elements in determining the success of intergovernmental cooperative projects while the attitude of local CEOs toward cooperation is next in importance. This suggests that intergovernmental cooperative projects, including those involving physical facilities and infrastructure construction, would be actively pursued when provided with financial resources through the establishment of local government unions or agreements. With respect to projects associated with software development of events, the attitudes and values of CEOs`, along with information and knowledge exchange programs, were found to shape their success. In cooperative projects there conflicting interests exist among stakeholders, ample financial resources should be provided, and the intervention of a higher jurisdictional authority may be needed.
