미국과 캐나다 주정부의 재난관리 협력사례 분석 및 시사점

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to draw implications from case studies of collaborations between independent administrative sectors for effective hazard management. In order to investigate mutual collaboration cases among state governments in regional scales, we selected cases in U.S. and Canada. Our research results are follow. First, hazard management needs to be designated and conducted as a primary regional function. Second, an organization of separate regional institution can be a political and administrative authority. Third, agreement led by local government for mutual assistance can be seen as a coexistence model for effective hazard management. Based on these results, we draw the following implications for policy improvement. Based on the findings, it is necessary to establish a regional insititution for systematic hazard management and to build a field-centered legal system for regional hazard management. Futhermore, in order to apply the implications from the studies of international cases to our national legal systems it is important to have a consensus among the key stakeholders.
