Today, I’d like to talk about an important issue in Korea — how poor administrative planning can lead to the waste of public funds. I first became interested in this topic while studying a passage in the Korean SAT textbook about land distribution in the United States. At that time, land given to pioneers ignored natural boundaries and was divided based on artificial measurements. This caused serious environmental and social conflicts between upstream and downstream areas, the effects of which are still felt today. Through this example, I became curious about similar problems in Korea, especially regarding how public resources, such as taxes, are sometimes wasted. One clear example is the low usage of public facilities. Many local governments spend billions of won building gyms, libraries, and exhibition centers to improve citizens’ welfare. However, many of these facilities are used far less than expected. According to Segye Ilbo, some centers spend billions each year on operations, yet actual citizen usage is often below 10 percent. Why does this happen? First, short-term political goals — local leaders often focus on visible results during their term rather than on the real needs of residents. Second, poor planning and weak feasibility studies — demand forecasts and cost analyses are often mere formalities, ignoring long-term use and maintenance. In conclusion, poor administrative planning not only wastes money but also undermines citizens’ trust in public systems funded by their taxes. To address this issue, Korea needs stronger data-driven decision-making, greater citizen participation, and better post-evaluation systems, so that lessons learned from one project can guide the next. With these efforts, Korea’s administration can become more efficient and transparent, and citizens’ trust in government can grow. Thank you. I agree to the terms of service Comment
