| Research Abstract |
In this study entitled "Privatization of providing goods and services and responsibility of Local Government", we have first made analysis on the legal structure of the privatization of (1) service of public facilities and (2) social service, which are regarded as typical examples of provision of goods and services, and, second, tried to make clear the legal responsibility which local government should assume.

In the field of social service, local governments take "the responsibility of guarantee" through advice, inducement, guidance and other "soft" means in the relationship including the process of concluding contracts of social service between individuals and private service providers. In this aspect, it is difficult to find some theory for individuals to seek to be provided social service against local governments. The ex officio measures of social service, however, still work as subsidiary means to long-term care insurance or support money. We may say that through such measures, local governments assume obligation to provide social service, and individuals have the correspondent right. These relationship can be considered as a concrete form of "the right to maintain the minimum standards of wholesome and cultured living" under Article 25 of the Constitution. Less
