NGOs(Non-Governmental Organizations) are organization based on the 'voluntary participation' of citizens. Citizens' participation and support are essential for the existence and sustainable growth of the organization. The records of NGOs are produced, received, collected, and left behind in the course of their activities. Systematically managed records are used as information for business performance to increase operational efficiency. In addition, it plays a role in proving the legitimacy of the group and its activities to internal and external stakeholders of the NGO, such as whether the group's activities were performed legally and whether the group is actually working to realize the goal it stands for. Therefore record management of NGOs is required to improve accountability. In other words, NGOs can be gain the trust of civil society based on accountability through records and secure internal and external resources necessary for the existence of the group. In this study, after confirming the general record management status of NGOs in Busan, improvement measures were examined in terms of record management in order to increase the accountability of NGOs.

This study introduces and analyzes the data from Directory of Korean NGOs, which was published in 1997 and again in 200, to conduct a quantitative research on the growth of civic organization in South Korea. This paper focus on the information on membership size and founding year which are essential indicators for the growth of organizations. Missing rates on those two indicators are checked to evaluate the quality of data. We examine the changes in membership size between the two time periods, 1996 and 1999. It shows that there is a considerable decrease in the membership size for civic and advocary organizations that are oriented to national issues. It suggests the competition among the organizations over limited resources, which is consistent with an assumption of ecological theory of organization on non-linear growth pattern. Using founding year data from 1945 to 1996, we estimate pseudo growth curves of civic organizations based on logistic growth curve model to discuss different growth patterns of organizations across areas of activities.

한국천문연구원 소속의 소백산천문대와 보현산천문대에는 연구원,대학교수,대학원생 등 전문가들에게 공개되는 국가 연구기관으로,일반인에게는 공개되지 않는다.일반인들이 자유롭게 방문하여 별을 볼 수 있도록 지방자치단체에서 건립/운영중인 시민천문대가 있다.현재 지방자치단체에서 건설한 시민천문대는 대전,영월,김해,경북 양양,예천 등 다섯 곳이다.현재 여러 지방자치단체에서 천문대를 건립중이거나 건설을 계획하고 있어 보다 쉽게 별과 우주에 다가갈 수 있는 환경이 조성될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

국내에는 약 200여개의 환경관련 비영리법인이 있다. 대부분 사단법인 및 재단업인이지만 대학교 산하의 연구소나 학회, 협회, 연합회 등 다양한 성격의 단체가 있으며 최근에는 시민단체로서 활동하는 곳도 많다. 특히 시민단체로 환경 운동을 하는 단체는 점점 그 영향력이 커지고 있다. 비영리사단법인인 경우 영리를 목적으로 사업을 펼칠 수 없지만 내부 필요 경비 조달을 위해 자체 사업 또는 산하 법인을 만들어 사업을 펼치는 곳도 있다. 이 보고서는 "E"사단법인이 환경 관련 수익사업 진출을 위해서 입안했던 프로젝트로서 일종의 기획서이다. 당시 지방자치 단체에 판매하고자 했던 상품은 이동식 화장실이다. 유사 기업이나 단체의 수익사업 진출 시 참고로 했으면 하는 바람으로 해당 사례를 싣는다.

The purposes of this study are to analyze how the media reflects the source competition between the activist group and the governmental source in the news contents. Media ideology and the conflict phase also were chosen as situational variables for evaluating how those variables could influence the source competition process. To answer the proposed research questions, the study chose the 'screen quota' issue as a research unit and analyzed documents from three sources, media news, the activist group for maintaining screen quota, and the governmental source during six years and three months. The results showed that the government source played a primary definer role in media reporting related to the screen quota issue, compared to the activist group. The governmental source's primary definer role was maintained against the highly contested social issue while the media ideology, to some degree, leveraged the activist group's comparatively unstable primary definer power. The governmental source's primary definer role was escalated as the conflict phase evolved.
