The largest cities ofSouth Koreahave an autonomous status equivalent to that of provinces.Seoul,the largest city and capital, is classified as ateukbyeolsi(Special City), while the next six-largest cities are classified asgwangyeoksi(Metropolitan Cities). Smaller cities are classified assi( "cities" ) and are under provincial jurisdiction, at the same level as counties.
City status[edit]
Article 10 of the Local Autonomy Act defines the standards under which a populated area may become a city: an area which is predominantlyurbanisedand has a population of at least 50,000; agunwhich has an urbanised area with a population of at least 50,000; or agunwhich has a total population of at least 150,000 and multiple urbanised areas each with a population of at least 20,000.[1]Cases outside of these standards require specific legislation, such as the special bill by theNational Assemblyto designateGyeryongas a city.[citation needed]
Under Article 3 of the Local Autonomy Act, a city with a population of less than 500,000 may create administrative subdivisions in the form ofdongin its urbanised area andeupormyeonin its rural area, while a city with a population of more than 500,000 may create administrative subdivisions in the form of non-autonomousgu.[2]
Classifications for large municipal cities[edit]
The national government can designate cities of at least 500,000 inhabitants as special status cities. This status expands the scope of administrative authority delegated from the provincial government to the city government.[3]There is no legal standard for becoming ametropolitan city,but it was usually promoted to a metropolitan city when the population was close to 1,000,000. However, considering that there are four cities inSuwon,Changwon,Goyang,andYonginthat have a population of more than 1 million but have not become metropolitan cities, there is no further promotion.[citation needed]
Big city[edit]
Abig cityis a city (other than a special city or a metropolitan city) that has a population greater than 500,000, and has been designated by an order of the national government under Article 198 of the Local Autonomy Act. Big municipal cities are given the power to subdivide themselves intonon-autonomous districts(일반구;Giống nhau khu).[3]However, some big municipal cities have chosen not to divide themselves into districts, such asBucheon,Gimhae,Hwaseong,orNam dương cụ.Currently, South Korea has a total of 17 big cities. "Specific city" (특정시,Riêng thị) is an unofficial term for big city with municipal status.[citation needed]
Due its legal status as an administrative city,Jeju Citycannot be designated as a "big city" under the Local Autonomy Law, despite having an estimated population exceeding 500,000 as of 2022. The designation of "administrative city" was created by the law which granted special self-governing status toJeju Province;that law specifically states that the Local Autonomy Act would not apply to administrative cities. As such,Jeju Citydoes not enjoy special autonomy and only has the same legal powers as the much smallerSeogwipoCity. The administrative authority ofJeju Cityis trying to expand the scope of administrative authority delegated from the provincial government to the city government.[4]
Special-status city[edit]
Aspecial-status cityis a subclass of big municipal city that has a population greater than 1,500,000.
List[edit]
- Notes
- The name "Seoul" does not originate from hanja. The official Chinese translation is written asSeoul/Seoul,which is a transcription based on the pronunciation of "Seoul", butSeoul/Seoulremains frequently used. As an affix or abbreviation, the charactergyeong(Kinh), which means "capital", is used.
- Seoul was designated a "Special Independent City" (Teukbyeol-jayusi;특별자유시;Đặc biệt tự do thị) separate from Gyeonggi Province on August 16, 1946; it became a "Special City" on August 15, 1949.
