초록

The purposes of this study are to analyze the actual state of 84 non-growing type cities and to derive the facing tasks and to identify the vitalization plan based on this analysis. Through questionnaire survey conducted for the target of the public officials engaged for a long time in the municipal plans and regional community developments, the problems which the non-growing type cities are currently facing with are identified as (1) continuous outflow of population (especially the outflow of economically active population), (2) aging phenomena, (3) shortage of job, (4) weak educational and cultural base, (5) urban economic and industrial lag and (6) fiscal shortage due to industrial lag. As a consequence, the plans to vitalize such non-growing type cities are as follows: Firstly, the improvement of living environment and settlement circumstances are necessary. Secondly, the creation of job opportunity is absolutely necessary in order to enhance the quality of urban citizens living through reducing the outflow of population and improving urban environment. Thirdly, systematic administrative and financial supports should be implemented and there should be aggressive adjustment or mitigation of control and regulations to induce development while measures for tax adjustment should be taken to enhance financial self-sufficiency. Fourthly, various projects for regional vitalization which Government has been driving should be implemented focusing on non-growing type cities. In order to activate this, various supports for the cities should be expanded.
