The record management of public enterprises under basic local governments has been in a blind spot while many studies have been mainly conducted on public enterprises directly managed by the National Archive of Korea and local public enterprises located in metropolitan cities. Hence, this study aims to examine the current status of Facilities Management Corporations’ records management in local cities and counties of the Gyeonggi area, and to suggest improvement measures with some basic data as a reference. After conducting a survey and telephone interviews with eight record management officers from Facilities Management Corporations, the results of this study found that record management of them was in hard conditions with many improvements needed.

Organizations always face the risk of litigation; thus, they should actively prepare for it. In particular, public enterprises must respond to lawsuits carefully to avoid any management risk and possible damage of publicity. Given this, this study aims to identify the relationship between efficient litigation response and record management, determine problems related to record management while utilizing records as evidence, and propose measures to improve record management that uses records as legal evidence. For records to be deemed as legal evidence, RMS is essential to ensure authenticity. Moreover, the ability to secure potential evidence and awareness of the importance of records management needs to be validated. The Commission also stressed the importance of cooperation between archivists and the legal team to efficiently respond to lawsuits.
Many local governments in Korea provide online services for people to easily access the audio-visual archives of events occurring in the area. However, the current method of managing these archives of the local governments has several problems in terms of compatibility with other organizations and convenience for searching of the archives because of the lack of standard metadata and the low utilization of image information. To solve these problems, we propose the metadata design and machine learning-based automatic indexing technology for the efficient management of the image archives of local governments in Korea. Moreover, we design metadata items specialized for the image archives of local governments to improve the compatibility and include the elements that can represent the basic information and characteristics of images into the metadata items, enabling efficient management. In addition, the text and objects in images, which include pieces of information that reflect events and categories, are automatically indexed based on the machine learning technology, enhancing users’ search convenience. Lastly, we developed the program that automatically extracts text and objects from image archives using the proposed method, and stores the extracted contents and basic information in the metadata items we designed.
This study aims to identify the relationship between commitment to the profession and commitment to the organization, and the effect of professional development on the dual commitments to the organization and the profession. After establishing concepts through a literature review, the study designed a questionnaire survey in which 104 out of 135 (77.0%) record management field officials responded. This study provides a firm basis for urging the army to change its perception toward record management professionals’ specialty and their commitment to the profession. Furthermore, this change will ultimately lead to a higher commitment to the organization.
This case focuses on the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation, which applied RFID technology as a record management system for efficient record management by identifying the characteristics of the agency’s work that requires the management of large and similar nonelectronic records. When issuing RFID tags in conjunction with the business system, the records management system automatically obtains metadata from the system and secures it as a list, and records management personnel actively use it as the basis for overall records management tasks. To that end, the company reorganized its business processes, designed functions that reflect its unique business, and established infrastructure. These resulted in easier identification of the output and holding volume of accurate records, and work efficiency. Finally, people in charge of the work increased their awareness of records management.
This article introduces the process of building Gongjuhak Archive that collects and databases data from various fields related to the region, enabling people to easily establish Gongju locality and lay the foundation for Gongju Studies. Gongjuhak Archive is built in accordance with the win-win development agreement between both Gongju City and Gongju University, and is proud to have played a pioneering role in the regional studies archive established by the local government. Therefore, we hope to share our concerns and experiences in building Gongjuhak Archive and to successfully develop it with regional studies archive building institutions across the country.
