지역사회 연결성 강화를 위한 중추조직 탐색 : 주민자치회 구조와 역할을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As our society has already experienced COVID-19, we have witnessed the fact that voluntary participation and activities of the private sector(community members) are essential to recover and regenerate quickly from various stresses and shocks. This study assumed that the Residents Autonomy Council could function as a backbone organization of the local community and explored its potential role. This study aims to explore the limitations and possibilities of the Residents Autonomy Council as a backbone organization for strengthening local community connectivity. For this purpose, the role and function of ‘Backbone Organization’, a concept derived from Collective Impact (CI), was borrowed as an analysis framework for the study and applied to the Residents Autonomy Council. Residents Autonomy Council refers to an organization that is established in basic local governments to revitalize grassroots autonomy and raise awareness of democratic participation. The core of Residents Autonomy Council is that residents become the center of local autonomy, and the Residents Autonomy Council can be understood as a place for residents to gather, communicate, and cooperate on their own, and as a resident representative organization that works to promote the interests of the local community. It has a structure in which members of various community organizations in the local community can combine as members of the Residents Autonomy Council. It is also noteworthy that the Residents Autonomy Council is an organization that is accompanied by a budget based on local ordinances and is given certain powers and responsibilities. In fact, there have been many cases where Residents Autonomy Councils were in charge of or cooperated with areas that the public could not solve in the COVID-19 situation. As discussed above, the institutional structure and actual examples of the Residents Autonomy Councils show the potential as a mechanism to strengthen connectivity. However, as the provisions related to the Residents Autonomy Council were largely omitted from the entire revision of the 「Local Autonomy Act」, there is still a lack of clear evidence of establishment and support. In addition, if the special situation of COVID-19 is excluded, the general activity area of the Residents Autonomy Council is limited to short-term community projects on an annual basis, and the operational structure is also rigid. In order for the Residents Autonomy Council to function as a Backbone Organization that encompasses various areas of the local community, a practical approach as well as the legal and institutional aspects must be paralleled.
