The purpose of this study is to become adequate urban planning system applied to rural counties(GUN) in metropolitan city(GWANG YEOK SI) to local autonomy and efficient area-wide planning. These counties have no rights to make their own urban plans although they are a self-governing body as well as rural counties attached to province(DO). Mayor of metropolitan city establishs and implements urban master plan which covers these counties, instead of mayor of rural county. To cope with these problems, it is suggested that the central government allows mayor of rural county to make urban master plan as well as mayor of metropolitan city in specific cases; the contents of urban master plan for rural counties become to be more realistic and practical; metropolitan city plan should be reinforced by the strengthening of area-wide measures connecting various subregion(GUN, GU) plan. Ultimately, urban planning system for rural counties attached to metropolitan city has to be operated autonomously, endowed substantial planning tools and cope more efficiently with area-wide urban problems.
