Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review the performance of the Green Village Project during the last 10 years, and examine the possibility of the institutionalization of a local governance. The Green Village Project was first initiated by an environmental movement group in Cheongju City, and now various actors, including Cheongju City and City Council members, public organizations, professionals etc, are participating. The project has been continuously and stably carried out for 10 years, and the participants now recognize that the project should be carried out every year. According to the analysis, the participants recognized the project as beneficial project for them on the basis of the rational choice. And the participants recognized the project as having legitimacy, and accumulating 'trust' between participants, accumulating the experiences of success. In conclusion, the sustainability and stability of the project has been strengthened, and the institutionalization possibility of the governance of the Green Village Project has been increased continuously.
