With globalization and localization, local government strives to promote the convenience of citizens by making a creative policy which fits local specific characteristics. In this situation, it is necessary for local government to have strength to make policy and to practice it independently by having its own right. In a process of achieving a successful local autonomy, a lot of problems happened in a relation with the scope of ordinance legislation and the local autonomy acts.
The scope of ordinance legislation has been restricted due to the principle of unifying the government. The problem with this limitation of legislative power of local councils is becoming more important in an area of law theory and its practice. In a reality, it is true that the actual effectiveness of ordinance is becoming weak, and just the formal ordinance remains. Especially, local government just receives a fine by means of guaranteeing the formal administrative efficiency. Not only the problem of sentencing but also the high rate of nonpayment violate the constitutional ideology, and destroy the local government’s power. Furthermore, it makes the government not to perform effectively the policy of citizens’ welfare and public security. Also, the local government cannot prevent the increase of harmful facilities for juveniles.
Because of the introduction of local police system and the increase of regulating work, local government has been burdened in the local administration. It needs a reevaluation of the Article 15- the principle of 20 of local autonomy act. In order to improve citizen welfare and public security in the local area, it is necessary for the government to have a right to enact the punishment within the restricted scope. Through the extension of ordinance legislation, local government has the practical efficiency of administration. In conclusion, local government must have its own legislative power for the punishment in order to correct the problems which the central government cannot respond quickly.
