A Study on the Strategies to Build Cooperative Local Governance in Local city

Many traditional city in Korea have recently suffered from socioeconomics declination, population decrease, and deteriorated urban environment. At same time, many blighted areas have occurred due to abandoned houses and commercial buildings. Also in Korea, the regeneration plans of the traditional city centers have been most recently established to tackle those problems. This study is to propose guidelines for construction of the urban governing regime by assessing urban regeneration projects and examining characteristics of governance to which has recently been paid attention in order to tackle the urban decline problems. For this study, first of all, the backgrounds and the needs of efficient governance for urban regeneration by reviewing the literature. As a case study, we investigated some applicable techniques for successful regeneration projects to a local city, Masan, and explored possible alternatives to apply systematic governance strategies to the city for private-public partnerships. From this study, we found that the main focus of governance based on private-public partnership should be on accountability and leadership of local government for implementation of regeneration strategies. In addition, we found that organization of stable and permanent governance network are the most critical factor. Also legal and institutional support as well as visions and passions of participants and stake-holders should be included among critical factors for an efficient governance based upon private-public partnership.
