Although it is necessary to make an intermediate evaluation on the construction of the Multi-functional Administrative City, it is difficult to find a comprehensive evaluation on the accomplishment of the goal of Multi-functional Administrative City. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the accomplishment of Multi-functional Administrative City based on the goal, and to draw future tasks based on the evaluation results. This study conducted an IPA(Importance-Performance Analysis) analysis through an expert questionnaire. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, the balanced national development category was rated as the most important.. Second, overall achievement was very low, and the self-sufficiency was the was the lowest rated category. Third, according to the IPA analysis, the following items require urgent efforts. Employment, attracting companies, attracting high-level industries, transfer of human resources, overall completeness of administrative functions, completeness of administrative work, population distribution, and improvement of non-metropolitan infrastructure.

When the present values of the long-term costs and benefits are calculated for the central or local government investment projects, the social discount rate(SDR) plays an important role. This study examines whether the current SDR for the central government projects can be applied to the cost benefit analysis of the local government investment projects. As a result of the study, the SDR for the local government investment projects are differently derived according to the project types and it is not necessary to lower the rate below 4.5% that is currently applied to the central government projects. However, validity of this level for the local government investment projects should be carefully examined in terms of the budget constraint and the policy rationales.

The purpose of this study was to find out the achievement indices on urban regeneration project types. Frequency table and Z-scores were used to identify significant indices by project types. Results showed that, first, achievement indices were clearly different between urban economic based regeneration active plan(UEBRAP) and community regeneration active plan(CRAP). In UEBRAP, economic achievements were crucial; however, in CRAP, sociocultural achievements were more importantly considered. Second, in both types of active plan, the number of new jobs, satisfactions of businessman or visitors, residents’ satisfaction, enhancement of old buildings were found as important achievement indices. On the other hand, appraised value on land, the number of member of the merchant, usage of regional history and culture resources, the number of cultural facilities, operating community festival, culture and sightseeing program, the number of extremely small parcel, the size of parks and green space, and the ratio of parcels bordering a road are rarely significant in both UEBRAP and CRAP. This study result is expected to be used for urban regeneration project managers as basic information when they need to decide achievement indices in their urban regeneration projects.

In recent years, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is implementing a project to reinforce and promote the local community and urban regeneration. Under such a project, stations of railways are in the trend of having the attribute of the strong sense of the landmark place, beyond merely the role as stations. As a means to increase a few public resources, in the process of implementing such a project, the method of developing the 3rd sector is being pursued where the public and private sectorsco-invest to establish and manage SPC, utilizing private funds. Given this fact ,it is considered that conducting there search about reinforcing private-invested railroad station complexes is indispensible, in case when the paradigm of developing stations of railways is led by the private sectors. Also considering that a sense of place is formed according to the spatial structure of stations of railways and the neighborhood areas, it is deemed that having an unequivocal awareness of a sense of place and devising measures to establish private-invested railroad station complexes based on it are urgent in order to reinforce and boost private-invested railroad station complexes and competitive edge. In this regard, the research study is going to analyze the cause and effect (causality) of establishing a sense of place, based on the substantive analysis of Yeongdeungpo and Cheongryangri stations, that is, private-invested railroad station complexes well-known as the major metropolitan areas, in an effort to reinforce private-invested railroad station complex. Also, the study is going to present the policy implication through a comparative analysis with the precedent study related to developing station complexes and a sense of place. The outcome of the substantial analysis how that first of all the private-invested railroad station in Cheongryangri has the extremely strong structure of a sense of place, while the private-invested railroad station in Yeongdeungpo has the relatively weak structure of a sense of place. Based on it, the composition of land use is as follows. First, in the case of the private-invested railroad station in Cheongryangri against the one in Yeongdeungpo, commercial facilities are not only reinforced but also the internal physical space is well-established in the following aspects: giving accessibility, promoting centers, addressing the problem with local severance, and connecting metropolitan parks with green belt, which creates a smooth spatial harmony with the surrounding areas. Second, regarding hinterland, it is identified that in the case of Cheongryangri, the surrounding areas have the strong traffic, commercial and housing function, while in the case of Yeongdeungpo, the commercial function becomes the main regional attribute. In conclusion, it is considered that connecting solid land use on a physical level with hinterlands on a socioeconomic level brings about a different consequence in the structure of establishing a sense of place between the two stations. Taking it into account, it can be understood that private-invested railroad station complexes must be developed in the constant network with physical linkage and socioeconomic relations, under the premise of the establishment of planning and the spatial realm of railway station spheres. As the policy implication to be considered on the basis of the outcomes, it is confirmed that in order to reinforce private-invested railroad station complexes, The structural relations of establishing a sense of place must be formed by developing metropolitan areas in harmony with solid land use reflecting local attributes on a physical level, and hinterlands on a socioeconomic level.

The leisure activities of the people have been increased steadily by five-day work a week and the travel week system. Communication with local residents is an indispensable factor. However, it is very hard to find related literature on tidal-flat amusement park. The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of perceptions of tourism development project on the attitudes of residents. The study area of this study is Muan, Jeollanamdo. Muan has a relatively lack of tourist attractions among the 22 cities and counties in Jeollanamdo; however, lots of budget is invested for tourism development recently. A questionnaire survey was carried out to investigate the influence of tourism development and the developmental attitude and perception about the development of amusement park in Muan residents. 165 residents are joined in this survey. As a methodology, exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis are used. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, 17 items to see the effect of tourism development were classified into 6 factors. Second, the positive impact of economic, soci o･cultural, and environmental aspects has a positive effect on the development attitude of local residents. Finally, the perception of amusement park development affects positively on the development attitude of local residents. This result of this study would be used as a reference for establishing preparation process and direction for public officials or tourism development entities in the development of tourist sites.

Industrial complexes, which have played a pivotal role in the Korean national economy since 1960s, are showing the absolute lack of support site for facilities and infrastructure and deteriorating rapidly in recent years. This study is to examine the characteristics of productivity for general industrial complex, to analyze the characteristics using multiple regression analysis, the correlation between individual variables, and the relations between the industrial complex type and the citywhere the complexes located. As a result, we suggested that that the regeneration plan should be established for an industrial complex that approximately 30 years have passed after the approval of the implementation plan. For industrial complexes, time of regeneration plan, changes in type of business, urban infrastructure should be considered depending on background city characteristics, location characteristics, its own characteristics of each industrial complex.

The Local Job Creation Program introduced in 2006 is one of the representative policies that are being promoted as decentralized employment policies. This program is led by local governments for the formation of an alliance with civic organizations to identify and solve employment problems in their region. This study aims to analyze the effects of the capacity of civic organizations and employment governance on the performance of the Local Job Creation Programs conducted in 31 municipalities in Gyeonggi Province from 2009 to 2013. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis developed by Ragin was adopted in this study. The results show that the Local Job Creation Programs performed well in regions with high capacity of civic organizations and employment governance. However, of the two, the capacity of employment governance functions more as a key factor in achieving the high performance of the programs. This study reveals that the high capacity of local actors and good local governance serves as a foundation for solving local problems via decentralized policies. The analysis in this study is useful for informing practitioners in terms of the manner in which such policies can be designed to be more effective. Other complementary policies are imperative to develop the capacity of civic organizations consistently and activate practices of employment governance.

The conceptual popularity of regional economic resilience has increased as various types of disasters and unexpected disturbances hinder regional economic performances. In this aspect, the present study analyzes the regional economic resilience of Taean that experienced the worst-ever oil spill in the country in December, 2007. For the research purpose, this study implements a quasi-experiment to isolate the effect of oil spill. By matching the region that suffered coastal contamination with otherwise similar regions unaffected by the oil spill, this study compares the economic performances of two groups through the changes in net population, the number of visitors, and GDP per capita. The results show that the performances of Taean were not statistically different from that of comparison group. Regional economic strategy utilizing local resources and financial support of governments are attributed to the substantial recovery from the oil spill.
