The purpose of this research is two-fold: first, to analyze the voting behaviors of resident population of Seoul in twenties and thirties over local autonomy and second, to provide candidates for local council with valuable informations excerpted from the grasp of their political propensities.
For this study, our samples were extracted by Three-stage Stratified Random Sampling and data collection was conducted through individual interview method with questionaire for Feb. 4-9, 1991. In the result, only 792 out of 1000 respondents were available for the research(79.2%).
As to research methodology, it required us to apply Frequencies Analysis, Crosstabs Analysis and Discriminant Analysis to analyze the collected data.
Finally, a few of our research findings can be indicated as follows ; ① The eligible voters appeared to be relatively low in their recognition degree as to local autonomy and election. ② The quality of candidates was pointed out as more determinant factor than election campaign pledges and affiliated political party. ③ The study also goes on to say that a progressive disposition including familiarity with election district is overwhelmingly rated one of the most valuable qualifications of the candidates among the electorate. And ④ it seems unfortunate to find that the nation's distrust and indifference in politics occupied the voter's minds.
