The Role of Local Government for Social Integration with Multicultural Family Park, Beom-Jong This study focuses on multicultural family formed by international marriage and analyzed the current status of multicultural family and roles of local governments. As a result, the multicultural family policy of Korea was biased toward assimilation and discrimination. The number of multicultural family in the provinces was increasing more than the multicultural family in the metropolitan area. Therefore, the role of local governments is very important for accurately grasping the situation of multicultural family and making the right policies. and we emphasized to operate a multicultural integrated management system led by local governments. These local governments should overcome to the language barriers, economic difficulties, loneliness and discrimination problems of multicultural family. In order to solve these problems, a mature multicultural ritual should be preceded by a recognition of ‘different’ rather than ‘discrimination’. In addition, policy should be changed from a policy of discrimination and assimilation to a policy of multiculturalism. Such multiculturalism will improve discrimination, become a starting point for social integration, and play a positive role in resolving regional issues.
