This study examines the approach of socio-technical systems and strategic niche management. It reviews the characteristics of that approach such as multi-level perspectives, the views on technology, and policy orientation. It applies the approach to the long-term vision making in science and technological innovation, socio-technical planning, participatory R&D, and science communication in Innovation policy areas and suggests some policy implications.

This paper aim to propose and suggest for government to reinvent and re-steering the policy on the 4th industrial revolution in Korea. To do it, this paper annalize the advanced country's policies and hard-data sets from many international research institutes. So this paper emphasized the concept and frame of socio-technical system approach by Geels. According to this approach, this paper can get a conclusion that Korea government has to focus on the roles to solve the big social dilemma with high-tech tools from the 4th industrial revolution. And this paper point out the necessary of increasing the diversity and multidisciplinary in 4th industrial revolution policy of Korean government. These findings of this paper recommend for Korea to redesigns the governance mechanism and legislation platform and to design the future readiness.

공공분야에서의 지식생산이라는 국가 R&D사업의 본연의 임무에 사회문제해결이라는 보다 구체적인 요구가 커지고 있다. 취약계층, 노인, 장애인과 같은 사회적 약자들의 삶의 질 개선에 더불어 조류 인플루엔자, 미세먼지오염 등 국민생활에 영향을 주는 사회문제의 해결에 과학기술지식이 기여하라는 사회적 요청이 커지고 있다. 그동안 산업 지원과 학문 발전을 중심으로 발전해오던 국가R&D시스템이 이제는 공공분야에서의 지식생산시스템 격상이라는 과제를 안게 되었다. 정부는 2012년 '신과학기술 프로그램 추진전략(안)'을 통해서 이러한 요구를 수용하기 시작했으며 2014년에 다(多)부처 기획을 통해 11개 사업 분야를 선정하고 사회문제해결을 위한 R&D를 다(多)부처 사업으로서 2015년부터 시작하였다. 또한 과학기술정보통신부(구 미래부)는 단일 부처사업으로서 '사회문제해결형 사업' 을 2104년부터 추진하였다. 논문이나 특허보다는 현장문제의 해결책, 솔루션 생산을 목표로 제시하였으며 현장의 사용자나 시민이 연구개발의 전 과정에 참여하는 리빙랩이라는 새로운 방법론의 적용을 사회문제해결형 R&D사업의 성격으로 제안하였다. 본 연구는 사회문제해결형 R&D라는 이 새로운 시도가 국가R&D 시스템 안에서 어떻게 시행되었는지 NTIS data를 통해서 분석해보고자 한다. 먼저 다부처 기획으로 선정되어 추진된 과제들의 특성, 즉 연구적용분야, 연구 단계 등을 분석하고 단일부처 사업으로 수행된 '사회문제해결형 사업' 및 유사 단일부처 사업 과제들의 특성을 알아본다. 연구수행주체, 연구방법론 등 사회문제해결형 R&D 기획에서 제시한 새로운 방법들의 수행 여부를 알아보고 이를 통해 공공분야 국가R&D 시스템의 발전 및 사회문제해결형 R&D 사업의 향후 발전 방안을 제안한다.

While Science tries to be far from Society, it actually does yearn for the trust from Society, on the other side. Its efforts getting back the trust has been witnessed with its fast evolution, consistent distrust from Society and Scientists' accountability with investment of public fund. Furthermore, many scholars have argued that there is the need to integrate science and society. In this regards, this paper explores how to integrate both spheres by participatory evaluation. To identify how the participatory evaluation works and should be, three main issues are mentioned. One is about evaluation methods; Objective-oriented and Behaviour aspects. Second is about prerequisite factors; sharing scientific language and changed recognition between civil society and scientists. Third is about challenge to be tackled; epistemological gap among evaluators and complex index. Under these issues, this paper sets out that the participatory evaluation should adopt the appropriate evaluation methodology. Last but not least, self-recognition and motivation by evaluators themselves are important factors, along with societal system which can take participatory evaluation.

Digital Humanities System is a method to effectively share and spread Humanities information and knowledge to users by using information technology. It Also comes into the spotlight as a new research methodology for researches of Humanities researchers. Digital Humanities System distinguishes itself from other existing information systems. Therefore, when the system is developed, it needs to supply with manpower related to development process which is specialized for Digital Humanities System, not for the several established construction methodology. Digital Humanities System studies recently is mostly constructed using the usual methodology of information system construction. Because of its falling efficiency and usability after constructing the system, however, examples of failure of operating system occur. In this paper, accordingly, effective and creative Digital Humanities System development methodology will be studied from the point of view of information technology through collaboration with various field of expertise. In detail, based on information system methodologies in software engineering perspective, we propose a methodology to build a specialized system in the digital humanities.

This research examines the characteristics of the newly emerging 'transformative innovation policy' and discusses the current status and issues of the Korean social problem solving R & D policy. Transformative innovation policy is a new paradigm that aims to transform socio-technical systems to address societal challenges. In this study, we analyzed 'the policy plan for solving social problems based on science and technology'. In the "Policy Plan", efforts are being made to establish new direction of science and technological innovation activities such as emphasis on social values, network formation of innovation actors, and spreading of social impact. But in this "Policy Plan", the perspective of transformative innovation policy is weakly reflected. The Policy Plan refers to system improvement that adds new elements to existing system, but it is not discussing system transformation. In order to develop social problem solving R & D policy from the viewpoint of the transformative innovation policy, it is necessary to construct the innovation platform deliberating vision and prospect for the socio-technical transformation.

This paper reviewed outline of Strategic Niche Management(SNM) and its usefulness and limits as policy tool. SNM is based on Multi Level Perspective(MLP) that traces technological innovation and makes transition of lock-in socio-technical system. This approach is one of systematical then traditional one, market failure approach. SNM had get a attention not only as a analytical frame of technological development, but also tool of radical innovation, although its limits of theoretical and empirical immaturity. SNM could provide a new perspective to analysis and action within urgent needs of alternative innovation policy for aging society, news energy policy for sustainable and disaster policy in danger society.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the usefulness of Weblog genre analysis in knowledge creation within an organization where communications are occurred frequently among the employees with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Knowledge creation is essential to achieve competitive advantage in today's knowledge-oriented working environments. There has been huge investment on knowledge management systems to achieve such advantages. It is, however, widely recognized that distributed knowledge management systems often fail due to the different social contexts across the sub-organizations where the local information systems are deployed. It is important to coordinate such social gaps across the sub-organizations to achieve better advantages. Given that Weblogs users often feel a shared social norm. Weblogs playa positive role of narrowing the social gaps. This paper argues that the genre analysis of Web logs could provide important clues to narrow the social gaps existed across the sub-organizations within an organization. Hence, such taxonomical practice may be a solution for the high rate of failure in knowledge management system implementations in an organization. This paper uses the theory of organizational knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi. 1995) and social construction of technology (SCOT) approach (Bijker, 1995) to compare the socialized with the non-socialized integration of distributed information systems. The findings of this research provide a useful framework for better implementing knowledge management practices especially in distributed working environments.

This paper examines three perspectives on science and technology innovation that are aiming at resolving the social problems. Based on the relationship between technocratic experts and civil society in the process of social problem solving innovation, we will discuss 1) expert-centered approach, 2) citizen-centered approach, and 3) expert-citizen collaboration approach. After summarizing these three perspectives, we suggest the direction of development of science and technology innovation policies that solve social problems. It is necessary to identify the social problem solving type innovation policy as a strategic niche for the transformation of the innovation policy, and to develop the future direction in the following ways: 1) deepening the collaborative approach, 2) introducing the sustainability transition approach, and 3) reconstructing the innovation policy using new concept of innovation.
