Since the civilian expert system had been introduced through the “Framework Act on Building” in 2007, the number of local governments that have implemented this system has increased with the achievements of Yeongju city (2009) and Seoul (2012). Also, in the national policy coordination meeting of April 2019, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport had announced the public architecture design improvement plan, with the Office for Government Policy Coordination and relevant central administrative bodies, calling for the active use of the civilian expert system. As such, the participation of civilian experts is expected to grow in domestic architecture and urban projects. Meanwhile, the “Act on the Promotion of Building Service Industry” had been amended in December 2019. Through this, the basis for public building planning, expanding projects subjected to preliminary review and reviews, operating Public Building Deliberation Committees, and establishing Local Public Building Support Centers have been made. All are related to the work and operation of City Architects and Public Architects. However, while the number of local governments introducing the civilian expert system is increasing and related policies are changing, the awareness and understanding of the system among stakeholders are still insufficient.
