And this study has several implications. First, this study will extend a horizon of real case studies beyond the limits of existing studies such as a simple classification of business model et al. Second, this study will provide us with an answer to questions of how it is to design the business model of social enterprise.

This paper aims to identify major policy issues on superintendent election system which has been politically controversial since its introduction in 2007 and to put forward policy alternatives to alleviate drawbacks and to reduce costs associated the system. Current system for electing superintendent has been changed so often and due to many reasons, but institutional problems have been still in place, and accordingly many policy suggestions have been made in order to tackle those problems by policy makers and academics. In recent times, Presidential Committee on Local Autonomy Development has published long-term plan to strengthen local autonomy in days to come, including reshuffling superintendent election system. Against this background, this paper attempts to derive major policy issues regarding superintendent election system and to suggest policy ideas enabling to ameliorate drawbacks relating to the election system. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the election system which can lower political and administrative costs during election period should be introduced. Second, it is necessary that we discuss more openly and more objectively the superintendent election-related issues rather than politically and ideologically.

The purpose of this study was to explore the level and the influence factors of moral hazards in the Korean public sector. This study was performed on the basis of 742 workers' survey from 8 Korean public enterprises using Structural Equation Model. The first finding of this study was that the total score of the moral hazard is 47.9 points out of 100. In that most employees of public enterprises tend to evaluate moral hazards on a conservative basis, it can be mentioned that the score is not so low. The second finding is that self-interest behavior showed the highest path-coefficient of 0.42, and easy-going attitude, dependency behavior, reckless management and followed with 0.35, 0.25 and 0.15 respectively. This result means that self-interest behavior has the strongest impact out of four factors, while reckless management has a relatively low influence. It was suggested that the control over moral hazards of Korean public enterprises should be focused upon the reduction of self-interest behavior and easy-going attitude rather than reckless management on the basis of the study result.

The purpose of this study is to empirically confirm the outcome of community network outreach program for finding rural elderly in crisis: focusing on the Chungwon Senior Happy Network. This study also tries to find the factors which have an impact on that outcome. To accomplish this goal, 176 community leaders, who are called 'Jikimee', that have participated in the program, were selected and investigated.

The findings of this study show that social support, network activity, and trust between organization staffs and community leaders were significant factors, and had an effect on the outcome of networking. As a result, this study implies the necessity for social work practice to promote the outcome of social welfare service network in rural areas.

This study analyzes Saemaul leaders’ understanding and activities in the Saemaul Undong according to their participation in educational training, and then comparatively explores the contents and importance of factors which influence satisfactory participation such as roles, policy implementation, and satisfaction with educational training. The goal is to seek expansive alternatives for improving Saemaul leaders’ satisfaction, roles, and leadership training in the future based on the results. Results show that irrespective of age, education, and monthly income, the leaders’ understanding and cognitive awareness of the Saemaul Undong were very high, and that their positive evaluations were extremely high. Furthermore, it can be seen that for Saemaul leaders greater periods of activity and voluntary service led to stronger positive evaluations of the Saemaul Undong. And as leaders they showed consistently higher levels of satisfaction with the Saemaul Undong they displayed a greater willingness to participate along with more active roles. The need for systematic leadership education is strongly apparent. These results imply the need for Saemaul leader (re)training, systematic development, identity establishment, and strengthened self-respect.

Since chiefs of self-governing body were elected by resident direct vote in1995, We face difficulties in resolving inter-governmental conflict. especially, when NIMBY syndrome occurs in the location of public facilities, the effective conflict management system is very important. The purpose of this study is to find out the influential factors of the conflict and cooperation in the process of the selection of the location of public facilities. In particular, this study looks at how the mechanism of conflict and cooperation works in the inter-governmental collective action. Based on the literature review, this study chooses three variables: policy problem, policy environment, policy process. This study investigates the degree of satisfaction of three variables. After that, We examines the mechanism of conflict and cooperation in the respect of total conflict quantity. The result of analysis is that three variables have great effect on the conflict of the funeral facilities, and the level of conflict determines the circulation mechanism of conflict and cooperation. This study also find that circulation mechanism is considerably path-dependent and irreversible.

This study aims to examine how civil affairs appear or disappear and what causes the civil affairs to appear or to disappear in order to help alleviate document burdens and/or provide convenience, such as paper reduction, to the people by improving the civil affairs administration, especially simplifying civil affairs. To begin with, it is uncovered from the analysis of the contents of notification by means of the civil service handling standards that foundation of civil affairs administration come from excavation of it by departments or administrative agencies themselves, that is, establishment by departments or administrative agencies themselves, while most of the abolition of it results from the external factors. This suggests that it may be difficult to prevent or abolish the civil affairs administration without external intervention into it. To prevent foundation of unnecessary civil affairs administration, it is necessary to make in-depth examination of the effectiveness as well as the validity of new civil affairs foundation. It is further necessary to guide the departments or the administrative agencies which found new civil affairs administration. In light of such fact, it is implied that it is essential that establishment of a new civil affairs administration should be determined based upon specific and substantive prediagnosis of how much it will have an impact on citizens.

This article set up a hypothesis that the candidates with welfare-centered manifestos of the 5th local election in Korea rather than development-centered manifestos win the election. If so, we can find the possibility of transition to life politics in Korea. The purpose of this article is to compare manifestos of the 4th local election with the manifestos of the 5th local election. For this, we categorized the manifestos of the winning candidates into development-centered or welfare-centered manifestos, compared the manifestos of the winning candidates. As a result, there was a little change in the aspect of the life politics, which focuses welfare-centered issues rather than development-centered issues. Nevertheless it requires more elaborate hypotheses and analytic design.

Participatory budgeting has been spreading in many regions around the world since its adoption. This study is a comparative study utilizing a normative approaches to participatory budgeting as Goldfrank interpreted political contexts connecting with the adoption and development of participatory budgeting. Radical democracy approach and the liberal approach with a positive stance on the adoption of participatory budgeting are analyzed by comparing cases Porte Alegre, Lichtenberg, Chicago City & New York City and Korean local governments According to the radical democracy approach, participatory budgeting is designed to achieve the goal of democratization. With radical democratic approach, the scope of participation extends to broaden the participation of the disadvantaged citizens and to promote citizens' participation in the whole of the budget process, as much as possible and to take advantage of a wide range of intensive and extensive participation. Eventually the local council is likely to lead to conflict of rights. Participatory budgeting by the Liberals has been suggested as a program of government reform, which determined the scope of participation in the direction of ensuring the participation of various members but limited time of participation and scope of the budget. Various methods of citizens' participation in the budget process are established in the participatory budgeting, but they appear limited, especially with the cooperative relationship between local council in the liberal perspective.
