The objective of the study is to examine the perception of the residents in the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) and the competent local government officials for nature conservation and local development. A survey was conducted on 265 residents as well as 285 government officials from Paju and Yeoncheon Municipals. Both residents and officials perceived the value of biodiversity, natural ecosystem and landscape in the CCZ and seemed to have a sense of pride regarding it. However, they conceived that nature has not been conserved properly and residents in Yeoncheon showed more concern on this matter than residents in Paju. Overall, residents were more devoted to nature conservation or perceived the importance of accordance with nature conservation in local development, which implicates the sound foundation of perception and good prospect for sustainable development in CCZ. Owing to the difference in situation, there was a significant difference in perception between residents and officials. There is a possibility of conflict in Paju because residents desired more local development, whereas officials showed more purpose for nature conservation. In order to achieve simultaneously local development and nature conservation in CCZ, we should pay special attention to studies on living standards of local residents and scientific surveys on natural resources.

This research aims to figure the different perceptions on the organization-public relationship between military officials and the locals, and the perception on the support military family welfare. In order to analyse their subject point of view, 217 career soldiers and the 191 local residents surveyed during 3 weeks from 10th February to 28th February, 2014. The results getting from this research were as to follows; First of all, the perception on the military organization-public relationship towards local community is more positive in the military officials(M=5.39) than the locals(M=4.99), but different from the two groups(t=6.93, p<.001). Moreover, there exists statistically significant different in every sub-factors and it means the mutual perception consistency is low. Second, the perception on the support from the locals towards military family welfare of military(M=5.38) is higher(t=6.93, p<.001) than the perception of the locals (M=4.76) and it is statistically significant. Third, the a regression coefficient which indicates the impact on the perception on support military family welfare through the change of organization-public relationship shows statistically significant (${\beta}=.82$(p<.001)). As a result, the perception on the military organization-public relationship of the locals has significant prediction power to the perception on the support military family welfare. And when the perception on the military organization-public relationship of the localsis higher, the perception on the support military family welfare has been changed positively.

본 논문은 3개 기초자치단체 지역주민들을 중심으로 이들 지방정부의 투자우선지출 순위에 관한 지역주민의 의식을 분석해 보았다. 이러한 분석은 근본적으로 지방정부의 공공지출을 통한 투자사업 활동이 지역주민의 선호순위와 일치하는지를 검증해보기 위한 선행연구로서의 의미를 가지고 있다. 지역에 따른 행정기능별 우선지출 순위분석에서 볼 때 일반행정부문의 경우 세지역 모두 기획조정분야에 가장 큰 우선지출을 요구하고 있고 산업경제 부문의 경우 지역특산물생산과 지역공단육성에 큰 관심을 보이고 있으며 사회복지부문의 경우 쓰레기처리 및 폐기물관리 등에 우선적인 관심을 보여 생활환경의 정비에 큰 관심이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 지역개발사업의 경우 도시계획 및 도시정비사업이 그리고 민방위부문의 경우 재난관리와 화재예방의 부문에 특히 우선지출의 관심을 보이고 있었다. 지방자치단체의 공공지출에 영향을 미치는 주요요인들은 주민참여도, 정부.기업관계, 정치적 연계, 기획과 예산구조, 공공투자 재원보조, 등으로 구성되어 있으나 각 요인별로 구성변인에 따른 지역주민간의 인식은 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 지역주민들의 공공지출형태의 다양성과 여러 기대조건들을 충족시키고 그럼으로써 행정서비스에 대한 지역주민의 만족도를 극대화하기 위해서는 각 지방정부는 그들 지역내 특수한 사회 경제적 여건하에서 새로운 고객관리전략을 수립하여야 할 것이다.

DR. 콩고는 국제원조사업으로 이디오파 지역 내 "안전한 식수 공급 사업"을 요청하였다. 이에 2013년 KOICA에서는 당해 지역내 국제원조사업 실시에 대한 성과를 평가하고자, ODA 사업 추진 전 지역주민의 "삶의 질"을 사전 평가하였다. 본 논고는 KOICA의 DR. 콩고 이디오파지역내 "삶의 질" 평가 결과이다. "삶의 질" 분석을 위한 평가기준으로는 1. 현지 지역주민의 물이용 현황, 위생 및 환경 현황, 취수활동이 교육에 미치는 영향, 취수활동이 가정 경제 활동에 미치는 영향 등을 분석하고, 2. 식수공급사업 추진 시, 지역주민이 바라는 식수개발사업의 유형을 살펴보았다. 분석을 위한 자료 조사 방법으로는 설문 방법을 선택하였으며, 설문은 물 이용 현황, 질병 및 위생 관리 현황, 취수활동이 교육 및 가계 경제에 미치는 영향 그리고 지역주민이 바라는 식수사업의 방향 및 이유 등을 중심으로 구성하였다. 설문지 유형은 현황 관련 계량적 수치를 답하는 질문(계량적 평가)과 함께 지역주민이 현황에 관하여 인식하는 정도를 답하는 질문(비-계량적 평가, 리커트 5점 척도 이용)을 함께 구성하였다. 조사범위는 식수개발사업 범위에 있는 DRC 이디오파 28개 마을, 511 가구, 514 주민을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data for establishing a mid-to long-term comprehensive development plan for Gangdong-gu libraries by analyzing the results of a perception survey conducted on local residents, librarians and operators. To achieve the research purpose, a survey was conducted targeting 1,224 library users and non-users in Gangdong-gu. To collect more in-depth opinions, focus group interviews were also conducted with local residents, librarians at public libraries and book cafe libraries, and operators of small libraries. As a result, for the efficient operation of the Gangdong-gu library, it is necessary to establish the role of each library to adjust and reorganize specialization to form an ecosystem, to introduce services and programs without time and space restrictions required in the information society, and to actively promote and attract non-users to the library. The conclusion drawn is that it is necessary to establish a system and support system that can encompass various types of libraries.
