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.

김해천문대는 2002년에 개관하여 대전, 영월을 이어 세 번째로 건립된 초기 시민천문대이다. 당시 지방자치단체에서 지방과학관 사업으로 국비를 받아 건립하였다. 초기에 개관한 시민천문대에 대한 국민들의 뜨거운 호응에 힘입어 이후 지방과학관 사업에서 대부분 시민천문대 형태로 건립되었는데, 현재 약 20개 정도의 지방자치단체에서 시민천문대를 건립하였다. 현재 도서관, 수련원, 교육과학연구원 등 기존의 교육 기관에 딸린 부설 천문대를 포함하면 청소년, 시민들이 이용할 수 있는 성격의 천문대는 전국적으로 약 80개에 이른다. 이러한 시민천문대의 등장은 국민들의 천문에 대한 관심을 높여 우리나라의 천문학 발전에 밑거름이 될 수 있기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 따라서 시민천문대에 대한 학계, 교육계의 관심과 협조가 향후 천문학 발전에 중요한 밑거름 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 시민천문대의 운영은 일반적인 과학관과는 달리 천체를 보여주는 등, 관측 활동을 중심으로 진행하기 때문에 창의적인 다양한 방법의 운영을 시도하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다. 특히 김해천문대의 경우 초기의 관람중심을 탈피하여 교육프로그램 중심의 운영함으로서, 소행성 탐사, 자체 기술개발 등 연구 활동이 가능할 정도로 발전하였다. 본 발표에서는 김해천문대에서 지난 9년간 진행된 다양한 사업과 프로그램을 소개하고 김해천문대 운영의 운영 변화 과정과 그 결과를 통해 향후 시민천문대의 운영 방향을 말하고자 한다.

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 korean society confronts with social problems which are resulted from the rapid development of science and technology. While the governments politic has concentrated on the economic application of science and technology, various citizens groups have been organized to solve the social problems by themselves. Historically the so called citizens movement in the field of science and technology was formed with the influence of students movement in 1970s. The activities and the aim of the movement have changed in accordance with the state of the korean society. They pay more attention to the enhancement of citizens participation in the development of science and technology. This paper is intended to evaluate the role of the citizens organizations in terms of their participation in the policy-making, formation of alternative scientist and engineer. The practices of the organizations are classified in three periods which corresponds to the process of social movement in Korea. It is further attempted to suggest the future role of those organizations.

As we enter the 21st century. Korean libraries have embarked on a journey of change. The reason that libraries in Korea have sought to achieve dynamic changes is that various citizens' organizations have analyzed the issue from their point of view deduced the problem. conveyed this to the general public and thus revitalized the structure of mutual understanding in reaching a solution. The two most notable civilian organizations active in the Korean library area are 'the National Union for Revival of School Libraries' and 'the Citizen Action for Reading Culture'. This study examined the history and activities of these organizations and investigated how they worked with the central and local governments for improving school and public libraries and for promoting reading.

This paper presents a model of Task-Ontology for small unit operations(SUO) such as nongovernment organizations Despite the rapid development and extension of NGO in domestic area, most have insufficient structural domain resources in existence and underestimate the importance of information management. To improve the citizen's participation and to activate the conjoint actions among the NGO, which are critical to its social role-playing in global society, the modeling Task-Ontology is ultimately intended to implement the knowledge management system of NGO. In the perspective of ontology competency, not only the analysis of resources in vary, but also in-depth Interviews with the NGO practicing personnels and subject experts, and also the intensive observations of task-processing are required for the knowledge acquisition.

The Reasons which Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution, and Lemon Revolution had been much argued in international society are as follows: Firstly, the important fact was that authoritarian governments in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan were collapsed not by physical violences and military forces, but by unblooded civil movements, so called Civil Revolution. And it is also called as Colorful Revolution. Secondly, during the advance of three Civil Revolution, hegemony conflicts between Russia and western powers including US appeared. In fact, tensions between the two countries, Russia and US had already occurred in Post-soviet region after dissolution of Soviet Union. Thirdly, as a result of three Civil Revolution, there were built up fullest attentions in international societies about the possibilities of other civil revolutions, that is to say, 'Colorful Revolution' among the countries which were the republics of former USSR. In this respect, in this investigation of Lemon Revolution in Kyrgyzstan as like Rose Revolution in Georgia and Orange Revolution in Ukraine, this article examined the roles and supports toward NGOs of Western powers including US. To my opinion, it is likely that NGOs, with powerful sponsors, become political bodies working through networks and media rather than being rooted in civil society and acting on behalf of citizens. And that powerful sponsors, directly or indirectly financed by outside governments, become involved in political activities. So NGOs have been important roles in promoting civil revolution as political agencies and more political instruments of foreign governments. In the long run, through the Colorful Revolution, it is better to understand that hegemony struggle is beginning between external concerned superpowers including US and Russia, rather than hegemony struggle having directly broke out.

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.
