Traditionally, the public service had been provided by the central and local government in the public sector, but it has been confronted with the limitation in covering all the public services of governmental sector. As a result, the fastest growing part in a post-industrial society which is orienting the welfare state, is the "third sector", that is, "quasi autonomous non-governmental sector", neither governmental sector nor private sector.
Most people in this country consent that the efficiency of each part in our society should be raised with IMF economic crisis as a momentum.
Recently, according to the quick change of a life environment and the mature of citizen society, the need of welfare service has been increasing in our society and our society is shifting the paradigm to welfare society. In process of this shift, Community Multi-Service Center(CSC) is playing the role as an important position in citizen participation and association.
Therefore, we need to evaluate social welfare facilities so as to judge how efficiently they are managed, at what degree they provide the service, etc.
The object of this study is to measure the efficiency of 64 Community Multi-Service Centers in Busan·Kyeong Nam area and clarify its determinants.
A brief controvery of this study can be introduced as follows:
To begin with, this study looks into the characteristic of Community Multi-Service Center.
In the second place, this study searches for the previous studies about Community Multi-Service Centers and introduces their limitations. And their limitations are the starting point for this study. The evaluation of Community Multi-Service Centers is connected with the efficiency measurement of the public organizations.
The tendency to study the efficiency and the methods for the efficiency analysis are introduced and discussed in this part. Naturally, DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) which is the universal tool in measuring the efficiency of the public organizations, is introduced. And inevitably, the theoretical principles of DEA is studied. The reason is that this study is attempting to measure the efficiency on the basis of DEA.
This study is expanded to the investigation of the efficiency determinants. And thus, the general theory on the dicision of determinants is introduced.
In setting up the analysis model and hypothesis, the analysis method for CSC(Community Multi-Service Center)' efficiency is selected and the analysis model and variables of this study is suggested. In this place, this study suggests the efficiency evaluation model and the determinants model respectively. And the study-hypothesis on the determinents is setting up.
In the part of the analysis of the investigation results and the discussion, the efficiency of 64 CSCs in Busan·Kyeong Nam is analyzed by the use of DEA. Continuously, the determinants which have an effect on the efficiency are analyzed by the regression analysis. In addition, the cognition of respondents about a question paper is looked into.
This study analyzes the determinants of Technical Efficiency (TE), Pure Technical Efficiency(PTE), Scale Efficiency(SE) respectively and attempts to approve the hypothesises which were suggested previously.
This study finishes the efficiency analysis and its determinants and developes the total controversy.
In conclusion, the study which has been discussed till now, is summarized and suggests the critical points and the suggestive points.
