Various concepts and practices of public deliberation have been exercised over the last three decades in western countries for science and technology (ST) governance. There has been a general social consensus for the need of such new governance notwithstanding, ends and means to achieve it varied. Among various rationales, while normative and substantive perspectives are explicitly claimed in public as reasons for public engagement in ST policy making, instrumental perspectives tend to be implicitly arranged by interested parties and still affecting policy significantly. This paper therefore, examines the implications of such instrumental perspectives in public engaged ST governance. To do so, this paper analyses the discourses and practices of public deliberation for ST governance in the UK from the late 1990's until the mid 2000's. It examines the proposals made by various policy institutions and two real public deliberations- the GM Dialogue for commercialization of genetically modified crops and the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management(CoRWM)'s programme. This study finds that policy institutions tried to employ public deliberation as strategic instrument for their policy interest, which contrasted with their outwardly claimed rationales of democratic policy making and better quality in decision for ST governance.

Recently, society's relationship with science is in a critical phase. There was never a time when the issues involving science were more exciting. Many people are deeply uneasy about the safety and ethics of bio-technology. On the other hand, this could be interpreted as a dynamic process in which a new relationship between science and public is reshaping. And in this new relationship citizen participation in science is not a option but a necessity. This article is a case study of 1970's re-combinant DNA debate. Early 1970's bio-technology saw the emergence of an enormously powerful new methodology, recombinant DNA technology. But, at the outset, this technology posed many potential dangers. Concern over possible hazards prompted hot debates and conflict between leading scientists and community, In this process Cambridge Laboratory Experiment Lion Review Board (CERB) is organized by Cambridge City Coun il for assessing the possible risk of recombinant DAN technique. This is one of the first citizen-initiated participation movement in bio-technology. And the debates has come to be a principal focus for many of the most important questions concerning citizen participation in science. This study make a attempt to analyze CERB case. In conclusion, we can confirm the possibility of civil participation in science policy making and decision making from CERB case study. Still, we also realize the limit of CERB case.

This study examined the role of citizen advocates in advocating for people with developmental disabilities. Citizen advocacy refers to activities that advocate and represent citizens on behalf of those who are socially vulnerable. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role concept of citizen advocates by conducting focus group interviews and dividing the 13 citizen advocates with developmental disabilities into 4 groups. It is divided into four main subjects and nine sub-themes. The main theme are 'Self-transformation of the parties', 'Restoring the rights of the parties', 'Being with the parties', and 'Expanding the world of the parties'. Sub-themes are 'Recognizing and solving the problem of self', 'Granting role to speak', 'Recovering the initiative of service use', 'Restoring the rights of existing (family and neighbor), "Preventing money harm" "Speaking instead", "Encouraging and petting people", "Promoting change in the community", and "Expanding the size of the world a little bit". Based on this, we discussed the importance of citizen advocacy as a preventive advocacy system, the relationship between citizen advocacy and professional advocacy system, the difference between volunteer and personal assistants and citizen advocacy, and considerations for citizen advocacy.

도시의 옥외광고는 정보전달매체로서의 역할 뿐만 아니라 그 시각적 표현은 도시미관을 형성 하는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 따라서 현대의 간판은 한 지역의 사회적 문화적 수준을 판가름하는 척도로 인식될 만큼 그 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 또한 도시환경 속에서의 간판은 시민들이 항상 접하고 있는, 시민들의 삶의 질에 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 간판은 이제 상점을 홍보하는 단순한 사물이 아니라 건물과 가로수, 광고의 내용물, 도시 시민들과의 유기적인 조화를 고려하여 만들어야 하는 도시환경구성의 주요 요소로서 접근해야 한다. 따라서, 부분적 요소인 간판을 통해 도시 미관과 환경을 효율적으로 조율하여 쾌적한 도시환경을 조성해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 중국, 장춘시 상업지역을 중심으로 사인보드의 실태를 수집분석하고 그에 따른 문제점을 연구하고 개선방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다.

Citizens' activities in making village are to create urban future. It means that it is not civil organizations, but is cooperation in making village. Accordingly, the various arrangements for the cooperation among civil organizations, administration and enterprises which have been established and developed should be made. For these, strengthening of policies to foster the establishment of civil organizations is needed on the basis of way of thinking that ${\ulcorner}$Making village should be through citizens' cooperation${\lrcorner}$. In this case, connections among administration, private NPO center, enterprise and civil organizations are needed as shown in cases of Sendai, Japan.

최근 NGO의 급격한 성장과 위상이 높아지면서 정부정책과정에서의 NGO와 정부간 역할관계는 각 분야에서 활발하게 논의되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 교통분야에 대한 NGO와 정부간 역할관계에 관한 관심이나 연구가 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이와 같은 배경에서 수행된 본 연구는 현재 열악한 대중교통서비스를 개선하기 위해서 NGO와 정부간 정책연대 등 새로운 정책운용의 필요성을 제시한 탐색적 연구이다. 본 논문의 분석결과, 우선 대중교통정책 운용은 ‘공급자중심’에서 ‘이용자중심’으로 전환되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 ‘서울시를 비롯한 자치단체들이 NCO와 정책연대를 통해 정책추진에 시민의견을 적극 반영하는 제도적 장치가 강구되어야 한다. 구체적으로는 서울시의 경우 교통·환경·소비자 등 관련분야의 NGO와 서울시 및 의회관계자, 전문가, 업계대표 등이 참여하는 가칭 ‘대중교통시민위원회’를 구성한다. 또한 지방자치단체는 대중교통 전반의 서비스 개선목표와 단계별 세부추진사항을 결정, 헌장으로 제정하고 이를 토대로 대중교통정책의 집행과정과 성과를 주기적으로 평가하고 시정 조치할 필요가 있다.

효율적인 국토관리 및 국가산업 육성, 이를 통한 대시민 서비스를 강화하고자 U-City 구현이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내의 경우 U-City 구현을 위한 인프라 및 요소기술들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 서비스, 공간 등에 대한 연구와 상호 호환 및 연동에 대한 기반 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 도시민의 수요와 요구를 제대로 반영하지 못하는 서비스 제공과 개념적으로 동일하거나 유사한 서비스가 중복 개발되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 U-서비스의 과다한 중복생산을 지양하고, U-City에 거주하는 도시민들이 체감할 수 있는 시민친화적 서비스를 도출을 위한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 도시민의 요구를 반영한 수요자 중심의 서비스 항목을 도출하였고, 서비스 제공의 우선순위를 제안하였다. 따라서 U-서비스 도입시의 파급효과를 극대화하고 결과의 타당성 한계를 극복하고자 한다.

The Safety from the crime is important as much as existence of need. Therefore, in order to make the safety of community, the government needs to make the best effort. In everyday life, crime is the fear of the target. Therefore, if the government can not solve the crime problem, the quality of citizen's life can not improve. In order to safety of community, this study is the one of the crime prevention diagnosis about shopping district and shopping mall. Also, this study can apply to the policy. If this study can apply to the policy, the safety of citizen's life will be protecting. The content of this study consist of introduction in chapter 1, theoretical consideration in chapter 2, foreign crime prevention diagnosis evaluation in chapter 3, crime prevention diagnosis in chapter 4 and conclusion in chapter 5.

It is essential to secure the quality guardians above all, for the successful settlement of the adult guardianship system; the importance of citizen guardians is ever increasing as especially the 'socialization' of the adult guardianship system is supported recently. Therefore, in this study, the trends in the types of the guardians were examined by analyzing the adult guardianship incidents of the Supreme Court of Japan; and the ways to activate the system focused on the citizen guardians.

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.
