Today, the civil society plays a key role not only in criticizing and monitoring the functions of the state and the market, but also as an active producer of public services by complementing the government and the public sector. Public records management is also becoming more and more popular. In the case of appraisal and selection, which is the core area of record management, discussions about citizen participation are becoming more serious than any other areas. The concept of 'proactive appraisal', which has emerged as a paradigm of citizens' participation in appraisal, reminds us that citizens themselves are the subjects of public records and are no longer alienated from the appraisal system. The problem is, while the growth of the Korean civil society about institutional participation is spreading rapidly, but citizen participation is hard to find in the field of public records. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of citizen participation in the process of appraisal of public records, and to debunk the role of citizen participation in the appraisal processes by exploring the examples in the UK, Canada, and Australia. This paper emphasizes that the appraisal system of the national public records in crisis today could be largely restored through the domestic application of this active citizen participation cases. First of all, this study presents a conceptual appraisal model that could reflect citizen participation in the field of record management along with the analyses of the advanced cases in some western countries. Specifically, this paper focuses on presenting the models of 'appraisal documentation' and 'governance-based appraisal', reflecting the active citizen participation. This study suggests that these citizens' participatory evaluation models should be settled in Korea in the future and we should urgently discuss 'citizen participation appraisal'.

Various policies and institutional efforts are being made for mature democracy and more sustainable administration of our society. In this respect, the importance of civic participation, considered essential in environmental impact assessment, has been consistently emphasized in the relevant theories and practices. Although various methods and forms of public participation are taking place in Korea, criticism is widely understood that collecting citizens' opinions in the decision-making process has become ineffective and formal. Starting from these issues, this paper seeks to learn lessons from the foreign cases in the international context. Extensive literature review was conducted to examine the meaning and objectives of public participation in EIA and the tactical principles. Based on this, the participatory systems and procedures in the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, and Canada were critically reviewed, and the implications were derived through specific cases. The results are, first, the provision of specific public participation guidelines, second, the securing of transparency in the decision-making process, third, the expansion of procedural participation levels, and lastly, the guarantee of participation opportunities. This paper is meaningful as a basic study to enrich discussions on public participation in the domestic EIA hoping to help research through more diverse empirical cases in the future.

지역에 밀착한 관광이 추진되면서, 관광레크레이션지역의 개발 및 관리운영에 있어서는 시민참여에 의한 자원 및 지역만들기가 상당히 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 이러한 시민참여 활동의 역사가 짧고, 특히 관광과 관련해서는 아직 시민참여 활동이 본격화 되고 있지 못해, 그의 구체적인 활동범위 및 방향 등이 정리되지 못한 상태에 있다. 본 연구는 관광레크레이션지역에 있어서 시민참여의 활동범위와 그 추진방향에 대한 틀을 마련하기 위한 기초연구로서, 일본국영공원을 대상으로, 관광레크레이션지역에서의 시민참여 활동의 실태와 그 특성을 분석한 것이다. 연구결과 국영공원의 시민참여 활동은 테마 자원과 시설을 중심으로 매우 세분화되고 있고, 그 범위는 단순한 안내 및 관리가능을 넘어 연구회 및 학습회 등을 통해 보다 조직적, 능동적으로 참여함으로서 개발계획과 평가단계까지 그 영역이 확대되고 있는 것으로 나타난다. 또한 이들의 활동은 대상지 내에 국한되지 않고, 역 외의 유관단체와 연계해 하나의 교류네트워크의 축을 형성함으로써 자원자체의 활성화에도 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타난다.

The importance of citizen participation, especially in urban planning, is increasing. Citizen participation is the sharing of control or influence on decisions and choices that affect stakeholders, and providing citizens with the opportunity to participate in the decision-making process. The paradigm of urban planning has also shifted from the rational planning model, which relied solely on the rationality of planners, to expand citizen participation. In fact, citizen participation in the process of establishing a vision for comprehensive plan is expanding, especially in metropolitan governments such as Seoul, Busan, and Daegu. However, there are criticisms that citizen cannot practically participate in urban planning due to limited participation methods and lack of participation in the pre-planning process. Accordingly, the necessity of institutionalization of citizen participation in the urban planning has been raised. According to literature reviews, foreign countries have integrated environmental impact assessment (EIA) into the urban planning to institutionalize citizen participation and pursue sustainability of the plan. In particular, the EIA actively includes citizen participation from the scoping stage to identify the issues. However, it was pointed out that there is a limitation to guaranteeing sustainability of the plan since EIA is carried out only at the urban project level. In other words, in order to expand citizen participation and ensure sustainability through the integrated approach, analysis of EIA in urban planning level is needed. Therefore, this study carried out a case study of EIA in the official development assistance of the Kenya multi-purpose dam construction to analyze the impact assessment in a wider scope than the urban project-level.

World Wide Views on Climate and Energy held on 6 June 2015 was a structured citizens' deliberative consultation forum involving 10,000 citizens in 77 countries, and South Korea was one of the participating countries. Citizen participants, selected to reflect the demographic diversity in their countries or regions, were given information beforehand and deliberated for a full day with other citizens and voted on an identical set of questions, designed to reflect policy controversies at the UN COP negotiations to be held in Paris on December 2015. This study, firstly, analyzes the backgrounds and purposes of World Wide Views on Climate and Energy and reports the WWViews event held in Seoul, Korea before examining the theoretical implication of it. And then, this study discusses about the features and opportunities of World Wide Views on Climate and Energy as a way of forming a global deliberative governance by focusing on deliberative democracy, citizen participatory governance, and global citizenship.

The projects of citizen science which is originated from citizen data collecting action driven by governmental institutes and science associations have been implemented with different form of collaboration with scientists. The themes of citizen science has extended from the ecology to astronomy, distributed computing, and particle physics. Citizen science could contribute to the advancement of science through cost-effective science research based on citizen volunteer data collecting. In addition, citizen science enhance the public understanding of science by increasing knowledge of citizen participants. The community-led citizen science projects could raise public awareness of environmental problems and promote the participation in environmental problem-solving. Citizen science projects based on local tacit knowledge can be of benefit to the local environmental policy decision making and implementation of policy. These social values of citizen science make many countries develop promoting policies of citizen science. The korean government also has introduced some citizen science projects. However there are some obstacles, such as low participation of citizen and scientists in projects which the government has to overcome in order to promote citizen science. It is important that scientists could recognize values of citizen science through the successful government driven citizen science projects and the evaluation tool of scientific career could be modified in order to promote scientist's participation. The project management should be well planned to intensify citizen participation. The government should prepare open data policy which could support a data reliability of the community-led monitoring projects. It is also desirable that a citizen science network could be made with the purpose of sharing best practices of citizen science.

본 논문은 재난관리의 성과에 대한 근원적 의문에 대한 문제제기에서 출발하였다. 재난관리의 성과는 재난에 대한 정부의 관리적 측면, 즉 행정관리 역량이나 산출지표 등으로 평가되어 왔다. 재난은 일상의 삶에 대한 도전이자 생존의 문제와 직접적으로 연계되어 있다는 점에서 재난에 대한 정부의 책임 요구가 지속적으로 강조되어 왔다. 정부 역시 재난에 대한 책임과 역할을 위하여 다양한 정책적 노력과 전문성을 강화하기 위한 노력을 지속하여 왔다. 그렇다면 재난에 대한 책임을 모두 정부에 물을 수 있는 것일까? 여기에 대하여 상황을 고려해야 하며, 반드시 정부가 책임이라고 답하기에는 분명 한계가 존재할 것이다. 즉, 재난에 대응하는 과정에서 정부의 노력과 함께 개인적 차원의 관심과 노력 역시 필요하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 재난관리의 성과가 정부 조직의 책임역량이 증진되는 것과 함께 시민들의 참여도 증진 역시 그 성과로 이해할 수 있을지를 검토하고 실증분석하는데 목적이 있다. 분석을 위하여, 기존 연구들에서 재난관리의 주요한 독립변수로 활용되던 재난경험, 재난위험, 조직특성 등을 주요한 독립변수로 사용하고자 하며, 종속변수는 재난조직의 책임역량과 재난현장에의 시민들의 자원봉사 참여도로 구분하여 설정하였다. 즉, 기존의 재난관리 성과와 대안적 성과로서 시민참여도 증진을 실증분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 재난성과는 조직의 내부적 책임역량의 증진과 함께 외부적으로 시민들의 참여를 이끌어 낼 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 시민 참여는 재난관리의 성과로서 정부의 새로운 지표가 될 수 있다. 시민들의 참여는 지역에 대한 재난의 위험 인식이 높을수록 그 참여도가 증진되는 것으로 나타나며, 이는 재난에 대한 대국민 인식개선 및 환경에 대한 위험도 증진의 정책적 노력이 필요함을 의미한다.

이 연구는 한국 현실에 맞는 교육정책의 굿 거버넌스는 궁극적으로 어떤 가치를 지향할 것인지를 모색하기 위해 논란이 되었던 세 가지 교육정책 사례를 중심으로 현 정부의 교육정책 거버넌스의 특징적 실태를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 현실적으로 민주성과 효율성을 동시에 제고해야 하는 바람직한 거버넌스 체제를 구축하기 위해 교육정책 분야에서 정부와 시민사회는 어떤 관계를 맺어야 좋은지를 여섯 가지 평가요소를 근거로 살펴보았다. 분석결과 민주성 측면에서 보면 세 가지 정책사례 간 정도의 차이가 있지만 모든 분야에서 시민단체들의 참여는 활발하였다. 그러나 이런 활발한 참여에 비해 상호 간 정보의 공유나 의사소통 그리고 반응성은 취약했다고 볼 수 있다. 효율성 측면에서는 더 심각한 문제가 발견되었다. 시민단체 간 연대가 활발하였던 점은 효율적 거버넌스의 긍정적 측면으로 볼 수 있으나 이런 연대는 유사한 의견을 가진 단체들 간에만 이루어졌다. 또한 효율적 정책결정에 반드시 필요한 전문가 집단의 자문과 참여도 제한적으로 이루어졌다. 이런 상황에서 이견을 가진 행위자 간 갈등이 첨예하게 대립되었지만 이를 관리하고 조정할 매커니즘이 존재하지 않았다는 점은 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 문제이다. 따라서 세 가지 교육정책 사례에 대한 평가결과를 보면 한국처럼 국민적 관심이 높고 참여가 활발한 교육정책 분야에서는 보다 좋은 거버넌스를 지향하기 위해서 정부의 반응성과 갈등 조정력이 중요한 요인으로 고려되어져야 할 것이다. 또한 향후 교육정책결정에 있어서 좋은 거버넌스의 목표를 달성하기 위해 생각이 다른 전문가 집단 간 의사소통이 수평적이고 효율적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 제도적 장치가 마련되어야 한다고 본다.

In this research, we analyzed the structural (influence) of citizens' political awareness and political participation on the settlement of political culture. The results are as follows. Firstly, the analysis of the relationship between the citizens' political awareness and political reliability in Hypothesis 1 showed that the higher their election sense and self-efficacy, the higher their satisfaction with and evaluation of politics. Secondly, the analysis of the relationship between the citizens' political awareness and social sense of belonging in Hypothesis 2 showed that the higher the election sense and recognition in society, the higher the social sense of belonging. Thirdly, the analysis of the influence of political reliability on political participation in Hypothesis (3) showed that the higher the political satisfaction and political assessment, the higher the positive participation in politics and negative participation in politics. Fourth, in the analysis of the influence of social sense of belonging on political participation in Hypothesis 4, it was found that the higher the citizens' social belonging awareness, the higher the positive political participation and negative political participation. Therefore, it was found that the higher the political awareness of the citizens, such as their election sense and knowledge about their politicians, the more positive were their political reliability and political participation.
