Since for the most part, local government's affairs were functions given from government named "delegated affair", local government performed the limited function as lower-administration of the central government. Recently decentralization has been applied on a large scale at all levels of government in Korea. As a result the current system(farmland administrative affairs) to preserve the farmland has several limitations due to such factors. One of factors is the ambiguity of the term "necessary acreage for farmland" to secure food supply, etc.
Successful decentralization of farmland administrative affairs requires re-adjusting their functions between the central government and the local one. Furthermore, the scope and process of decentralization can be altered to the way that the administrative functions of central and local government are established. Recognizing the issues mentioned above, the purpose of this study is to seek ways to ensure the effective treatment of farmland administrative affairs under decentralization.
For this purpose this study is designed in following frame. Chapter 1, introduction, including the purpose, scope, and methodology of study; Chapter 2, the construction and operation of farmland administrative affairs; Chapter 3, Characteristics of farmland administrative affairs and problems on the distribution among administrative tiers; Chapter 4, A case of Japan: bench- marking realities and re-adjustment; Chapter 5, suggestions on principles, criteria, and the procedure to adjust farmland administrative affairs.
