We need to establish a systematic and consistent program in order to enhance 'science culture.' Such a program cannot be obtained without understanding the methods of doing science, with which the philosophers of science have been concerned. I divide the historical development of the philosophical understandings of doing science into three as follows: 1) the 'normative' philosophy of science, 2) the 'historical' philosophy of science and 3) the 'naturalized' philosophy of science. Based upon the classification, I propose the 'critical constructionism' and explicate its theses. I then argue that critical constructionism can incorporate the strengths of the above schools of philosophies of science. Considering the cross-disciplinary nature of the science studies, it is claimed that critical constructionism alone can mediate and facilitate the collaborative understanding of science and contribute to enhancing the science culture because of its comprehensive understandings of the methods of doing science.

The 50th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention was in 2022. In order to reflect on the present and future of the meaning of World Heritage, this paper examines the development and changes of the UNESCO World Heritage system. After promulgating the convention in 1972, the UNESCO World Heritage system prioritized the protection of heritage sites in the world that were at risk due to armed conflicts and natural disasters to bequeath heritage to the next generation. In addition, the UNESCO World Heritage's emphasis on Outstanding Universal Value represents the particular culture of human beings formed during a certain period of time, and acts as a significant source of soft power in public diplomacy. The UNESCO World Heritage might be perceived as a shared heritage that has not only become a channel to understand various national values, but also an effective medium to convey one of UNESCO's main principles, that is, peacebuilding. However, the UNESCO World Heritage is now at the center of conflicts of heritage interpretation between many stakeholders related to invisible wars, such as cultural wars, memory wars, and history wars as the social, political, and cultural contexts concerning World Heritage have dramatically shifted with the passing of time. Paying attention to such changing contexts, this paper seeks to understand the main developments in UNESCO World Heritage's discourse concerning changes to the World Heritage Operation Guidelines and heritage experts' meetings by dividing its 50-year history into five phases. Next, this paper analyzes the main shifts in keywords related to UNESCO World Heritage through UNESDOC, which is a platform on which all UNESCO publications are available. Finally, this paper discusses three main changes of UNESCO World Heritage: 1) changes in focus in World Heritage inscriptions, 2) changes in perception of World Heritage protection, and 3) changes of view on the role of the stakeholders in World Heritage. It suggests new emerging issues regarding heritage interpretation and ethics, climate change, and human rights.

International society, including the United Nations, has recently been making efforts to further promote a rapprochement of cultures in relation to alleviating military and political conflicts and other social clashes. In line with these efforts at the international level, there has been a growing interest on Central Asia and, in particular, on the Silk Road, which functioned as a trade route among ancient civilizations in the region and is also seen as a route that promoted cultural dialogue and exchanges. Given the amount of cross cultural dialogue and exchange, it is no surprise that intangible cultural heritage has historically been abundant and easily found in the region. However, this heritage was placed in considerable risk because heritage transmission critically weakened for seventy years under Soviet rule. Fortunately, since independence, there has been increasing interest in restoring community identity and reviving intangible heritage. Nevertheless, in spite of this interest, a lack of policies and cultural support in each country has made heritage safeguarding difficult. In this paper, I analyze the various phenomena that took place after the concept and international trends on ICH were introduced and speak about the experiences and outcomes obtained from collaborative network projects by ICHCAP and the Central Asian countries over the last six year. In addition, I would like take this opportunity to discuss how we can understand and develop collaboration in the intangible heritage field in Central Asia in a long-term perspective.

This study attempted to test whether or not students' collaborative argumentation and explanation activity while using concept mapping did improve understanding on texts. Total of 52 college students participated in this study. They were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. The experiment lasted for two or three weeks and students were tested on comprehension level of a text material that they have studied over the period. As a result, with two independent factors of explanation and collaboration, there was a significant interaction effect without main effects. That is, individual did better when they did have to explain what they were doing. However, this is not the case when students collaborate. Students in the paired condition, they did better when they do not have to explain what they were doing with concept maps. This study showed efficiency with using computerized software does not always guarantee higher understanding on text materials. Instructional contexts and variables, collaboration and explanation, needs to be considered. Collaborating with others and explaining their own learning processes should be carefully designed when they are combined with concept mapping contexts. How to minimize learning obstacles from discussing ideas with others are a critical issue for future research.

The purpose of this study is to examine what the formation of a community incorporating two generations of people can give the elderly and the problems which are associated with establishing related programs of this kind. For this, the researcher enacted ethnographic method like as observant participation and in-depth interview on 24 participants. From this study, I found that the elderly and the children who took part in several programs to form the intergenerational linkages made the system meaningful in the following ways: first, the more harmonious the communication across between two age groups is, the more the understanding between them increases. Second, the sense of community has intensified the natural harmony. Third, the more self-satisfaction and confidence increases, the more self-efficacy is enhanced. Fourth, the purposeful and creative activities with peers have enabled the elderly to enjoy their leisure time. Fifth, the elderly have experienced the pleasure of learning and sharing common sense as a life-long learners. However, in the process of this program, several problems occurred such as the rigidly bureaucratic operation of the program and the elderly people's individual differences. In addition, the lack of a precisely-existing program necessary to form the intergenerational linkages and to bring together different generations was a problem. Finally, I have concluded that the effort to form the intergenerational linkages helps increase the understanding and cooperation across age groups and contributes to the successful aging of the elderly.

지난 수년간 사회 문화적 인식 변화 및 정치 경제적 여건 변화와 함께 치수사업이나 정책의 원할한 추진을 위한 갈등의 예방과 조정, 해결이 매우 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 일방적이고 획일적인 추진방법과 여러 가지 원인들로 인해 환경단체나 그 지역의 이해당사자와의 마찰이 불가피해졌으며 이러한 갈등을 완화하거나 조율할 수 있는 제도 및 정책적인 방법은 이미 한계를 드러내고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이해당사자들의 참여와 충분한 협의를 통해 해결책을 도모할 수 있는 객체지향적인 소프트웨어를 개발함에 있다. 다양하고 광범위한 갈등 발생 요인을 모두 고려하기란 실질적으로 많은 어려움과 전문성 및 복잡성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 공영시각모형은 이해당사자간의 의견을 신속하게 수렴하여 결과를 제시할 수 있어야 하며 다양성을 고려할 수 있도록 유동적이어야 함을 감안할 경우 어느 정도 범위를 가질 수밖에 없는 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 댐 건설과 같은 대형 치수사업이 수행되는 경우 이해당사자의 참여와 정보공개 추진절차 등에 대해 투명성을 확보할 수 있는 행정적인 요인과 기술(공학)으로는 홍수저감효과, 경제적 요인에서는 사업의 효과성과 타당성을 개략적으로 도출하여 제시함으로써 위의 3가지 갈등 발생요인을 갈등 조정 목표로 설정하고 본 논문에서는 댐 건설시 이수와 치수분야에 있어 이수용량 산정에 대한 모형을 구축하였다.

도서관업무의 복잡성이 가중됨에 따라, 사서들은 실업계에서 다년간의 사용되어 온 각종 경영공학적 도구와 기법을 응용하는 기술을 발전시키지 않으면 안 되게 되었다. 이들 도구 중의 하나인 시스팀 분석법을 사용함으로써 도서관 - 규모의 대소와 기계화 여부를 막론하고 - 은 많은 이득을 가져올 수 있다. 분석단계(혹은 질문단계)에 선행하는 플로우차아트 기법은 시스팀의 개선을 결과케 하며, 새로운 시스팀 설계의 기반을 만들어 준다. 그런데, 무엇보다도 플로우 차아트 기법의 소산인 시스팀의 시각적 표현은 천 마디의 말보다도 가치가 있으며, 도서관에 대한 가일층의 이해를 요하는 모든 인사에 대하여 전반적인 양상을 제시하는 데 가장 중요한 커뮤니케이션 모체가 된다. 시스팀 분석은 일상의 선량한 도서관관리의 일부가 되어야 한다.
