In this study, we examine the case of administrative reorganization centered on the case of specific region C and try to clarify implications for the reorganization of administrative district in Korea. The target city for the study is composed of two surface units and one town area. Is it right to integrate these areas into a single administrative district with a huge megapolis, a new city? Or is it right to separate it? This study has begun with these questions. In this study, we conducted a literature review on the theories related to the administrative district reform and examined related issues in the new city area. The policy implications that should be considered in promoting administrative district reform are as follows. First, cooperation and understanding of various stakeholders is needed. Second, the goals and vision of integration should be presented. Third, sufficient review is needed before integration. Fourth, it is important to respect community. Fifth, concession and coordination of interest groups are necessary. Sixth, the administrative reform process must be absolutely democratic and fair.
