Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss problems and seek improvement plans based on a critical analysis of the detailed standards for nondisclosure of 19 administrative departments in accordance with Article 26 of the Government Organization Act. To this end, the status of information disclosure–related regulations in 19 administrative departments was analyzed, and 6,094 cases of nondisclosed information were investigated and analyzed. In addition, through interviews with seven information disclosure experts, the analysis contents of this study were shared and reviewed. Furthermore, opinions on the effectiveness, problems, and system improvement areas of the detailed standards for nondisclosed information were collected. As a conclusion, three improvement measures were proposed: first, the legislation on the establishment of detailed standards for nondisclosure; second, the establishment of a system for regular substantive inspection of detailed standards for nondisclosure; and third, the improvement in the service of detailed standards for nondisclosure.
