Korea experienced rapid urbanization due to high growth of economy. As people left the country and gathered in the city, the size of city has been expanded, resulting in unbalanced development of the land. In addition, it appears in diverse aspects from nationwide phenomenon to the local development in each city unit. In particular, it even tends to become social problems in the metropolitan cities. As a solution for it, this study conducts theoretical consideration on sustainability in the aspect of balanced urban development and suggests measures through analysis on Siheung-city. The result is as follows. First of all, comprehensive approach is required based on sustainability. It is required to derive balanced city development by expanding it to the social, cultural and economic aspects. Second, integrated management policy is required for the original city along with new development. It should be considered together with diverse social and physical aspects. Third, approach from the aspect of city planning is required through consideration on flat city expansion and connection with city space structural. Fourth, in order to foster balanced urban development, it is needed to grope for solutions for imbalanced urban development through the participation of diverse groups such as local residents, private enterprisers, and the non-profit civic groups of the local community along with the mediation among persons interested. And continuous support of administrative authorities should be obtained to create such environment.

This study investigates the characteristics and implications of the newly emerging socially-oriented innovation policy. The socially-oriented innovation policy has systemic views on the evolution of socio-technical system and innovation policy. It's ultimate goal is the transition toward sustainable socio-technical system and it takes "strategic niche management" approach for the transition policy. The governance structure of the policy is more open to the public actors, such as social service organizations and public institutes. As a case study, "the Technology-based Policy for the Enhancement of Quality of Life", which is the first comprehensive socially-oriented policy of Korea, is examined and it is suggested that the policy has some limitations because of the path dependency of targeting-oriented and catching-up style innovation policy of Korea.

전 세계 태양광 발전용량은 2010년 초 25GW에서 2019년 말 617.9GW로, 지난 10년 동안 25배 이상 증가하였다(2019년 전세계 태양광 발전(PV)의 추가량은 거의 133GW 추정). 2020년에도 세계 태양광시장은 120~150GW를 형성해 전년대비 10% 내외의 성장세를 이어갈 것으로 전망되며, 향후에도 성장률은 다소 낮아지겠지만 2030년 태양광 수요피크 200GW까지 지속적인 성장이 기대된다. 한편 우리나라 수상태양광은 높은 잠재력(저수면적의 7%를 활용할 경우 5,304MW 규모의 수상태양광 개발이 가능)을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가된다. 신(新)정부 국정과제 3020 신재생 확산정책에 따라 신재생에너지 보급률 확산이 전망되는 가운데, K-water의 중장기('17~'26) 전략경영계획에 따르면 수상태양광은 2026년까지 2,758MW 개발을 목표로 하고 있다. 하지만, 수상태양광은 경제성과 환경적 측면에서의 불확실성을 포함하여 시설물의 안정성 검증, 사회적 수용성 등 극복해야 할 정책과제들을 안고 있다. ① REC 가격의 안정화, 경제성 제고 문제(높은 운영 및 관리 비용), ② 난개발, 환경·경관·안전 문제에 대한 주민들의 우려 : 주민 수용성 제고, ③ 투자 사기와 유착·비리, 편법개발, 난개발에 대한 규제방안, ④ 지역사회와의 거버넌스 및 갈등관리 문제, 공용 전력망 부족과 계통연계 문제 등. 이에 본 연구는 태양광 선도국가의 정책 사례 분석을 통해 수상태양광 관련 명확한 규제 및 지원정책을 제언하고자 한다. 분석방법으로는 첫째, 주요 국가에서 시행 중인 수상태양광에 대한 금융지원 및 정책 지원을 국내 사례와 비교·분석하였으며 둘째, 경제적·생태적 관점에서 수상태양광 모델을 개발하고, 이를 지역사회가 수용할 수 있도록 정책적 대안을 제시하였다.

This paper explores firm-specific internal and external determinants of the sustainability of "the social innovative enterprise(SIE)" by conducting a case research on Fragrant People Co. In doing so, some business and policy implications have been produced concerning the components and determinants of the sustainability of the SIE. First, entrepreneurship is a necessary factor for the survival and growth of the SIE. A social entrepreneur does manage effectively social and economic opportunities for making economic and social values interact dynamically beyond their trade-off relationship and creating new market chances. Second, the SIE also needs competitive advantages as commercial enterprises do. Valuable resources to be used for taking opportunities and avoiding threats, rare resources not to be possessed by other firms, and resources not to be easily imitated by competitors are extremely necessary for achieving objectives of the SIE. In addition, a firm must be well organized for those valuable, rare, and not easily imitated resources. Economic performance achieved by the SIE gives a birth to its financial independence, contributing to the realization of symmetric social performance. Third, the SIEs will be allowed to seek symmetrically economic and social performance only when they use sufficiently competitive advantage resources with entrepreneurship, which is composed of innovativeness, proactiveness, agility and risk-taking attitudes. In doing so, financial assistance from central or local governments may not ensure the sustainability of the SIEs. In addition, vision & value sharing(person-organization fit) can ensure the sustainability of the SIEs only when it is connected with the organizational commitment.

본 연구에서는 일반적인 기업컨설팅과는 달리 사회적기업의 컨설팅 방법론이 다른 여러 가지 개념 및 방법론을 연구하여 현재 육성되고 있는 사회적기업의 지속적인 성장을 가능케하는 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 최근 들어 사회적 기업에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며, 정부의 적극적인 지원으로 사회적 기업이 많이 늘어나고 있다. 사회적 기업이 추구하는 가치에 대한 정확한 이해와 이를 바탕으로 한 지속적인 발전에 대한 연구의 부족과 함께, 사회적 기업에 대한 전문적인 컨설팅 전무한 상태이다. 이는 사회적 기업이 경제적인 목적만을 목표로 하지 않기 때문에 전혀 다른 방식의 컨설팅 즉 사회적 가치에 대한 고려를 통한 컨설팅 기법이 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 해외의 사회적기업 컨서팅 사례를 고찰하는 한편, 일반 영리기업과 구분되는 사회적기업 컨설팅 고려사항에 대한 고찰을 실시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 사회적 기업이 추구하는 사회적 가치와 경제적 가치, 환경적 가치 등에 관한 종합적인 지식을 활용해야 하는 사회적 기업의 컨설팅에 대한 과저을 연구하여, 지속적은 발전할 수 있는 우리나라의 경쟁력 있는 사회적 기업의 육성을 위한 우리나라 환경에 맞는 컨설팅 기법에 대한 단초를 제공하는 연구가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

Recently, international society strongly concerns global green house effect. As a result each nation introduces green policy for their economy and sustainable development. The emissions of carbon dioxide come from various sources, such as ports and port activities. Especially, port is a logistics hub for shipping, road and railways. Therefore, successful reduction of emissions in the port may encourage other transportations to reduce emissions. Korea as developing country is excused from Annex I countries which committed themselves to reduce four greenhouse gases. However, Korea is going to be placed in Annex I countries in 2013. Korean economy is heavily dependent on international trade and especially, 99.8% of its international trade cargoes is transported through the ports. Therefore, Eco-port plays a very important role in future Korean sustainable development. By introducing the most advanced port pollution regulations, Japan has taken a immediate step for Eco-port policy. International trade is very significant in Korea as well as in Japan, both nations have similar industrial structure. Therefore, Korea should pay attention to Japanese Eco-port policy and activities. This paper examines Japanese Eco-port policy and its' implications in order for Korea to find the most efficient way to reduce the emissions as Korea should reduce greenhouse gas emissions in post kyoto system.

This paper studies the impact of regulatory approaches on innovation and entrepreneurship. As technological progress and environmental changes avail new business opportunities to innovative startups, many governments find it difficult to regulate new and unprecedented businesses promoted by the innovative firms. In order to provide academic and practitional implications on the regulatory design with which to support innovation and entrepreneurship, this paper aims to review classical theories on the demand and supply of regulation as well as empirical research on the impact of regulation on market entry and incentives for innovation. Based on the findings, this paper discusses the recent controversies around the regulatory approaches on new businesses pursued by startups, which are as known as the "positive regulatory approach" vs. "negative regulatory approaches" among practitioners and policy makers in Korea. This paper claims that the Korean context provides an useful opportunity to investigate how the ongoing transition of the once "fast follower" economy into a pacesetter one changes the nature of businesses pursued by firms, investors, and related market players and, accordingly, calls for the changes in the way the government intervenes in markets to regulate businesses of firms. By doing so, this paper sheds light on the role of the government in establishing an entrepreneurial ecosystem where innovative ideas of startups can be tested and nurtured.

This article takes several approaches in explaining recent developments in Vietnam. First, it draws upon an array of sources that idealize Vietnam's embrace of capitalism and integration into the global market in order to sketch out its economy's progress in 2017. Second, it observes, evaluates, and diagnoses recent changes in the Vietnamese economy in the medium to long term by incorporating conflicting perspectives on Vietnam's performance as a capitalist country. Third, this article traces the power shifts that have risen from internal struggles in the Communist Party over political and social issues. Fourth, it elaborates on the aforementioned impact that foreign relations have had on socio-political developments in Vietnam, as well as the government's response. In so doing, it also attempts to evaluate, however briefly, the significance of the 25th anniversary of South Korea-Vietnam relations. Finally, it examines the public's reaction to the post-reform transitions in light of recent sociocultural changes. 2017 was a memorable year for Vietnam: a continuous march toward capitalism; the resulting expansion of the Vietnamese people's demands; political controversies and government control; the looming instability of United States-China relations and various attempts to address the situation. These events will inevitably replicate themselves in the future as the ostensibly socialist Vietnam adopts a capitalist model. The problem is that it is unclear whether these experiences will continue with the consent of the people of socialist Vietnam or engender resistance. It is difficult to achieve meaningful consent in the status quo of worsening inequalities, widespread corruption, monopoly on power, and sustained use of unskilled low-wage workers. In other words, when concerns such as welfare, public health, and the environment are set aside in favor of economic development and commercialization as they have been, discontent, rather than consent, will prevail. It is thus important to keep a watchful eye on the viability of the nominal economic growth, surface-level political stability, and strategic responses to foreign relations that took place in 2017.

The importance of social responsibility such as ethical management and social contribution activities is emphasized for the sustainable growth of companies. Although there is a great deal of research on corporate social responsibility due to the increase in social interest and expectation, most of them have been limited to research on general manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of social responsibility activities on financial performance. In addition, we want to analyze the difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities announced by the Institute of Economic Justice and others. The analysis period is from 2011 to 2016, and we analyze using the robust regression methodology which is relatively effective in solving the autocorrelation and this dispersion problem. First, it is proved that the higher the KEJI index, the more positive effect on financial performance. In addition, we found that there is a significant difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities and those with other social responsibility activities. These results will have important implications for establishing a firm's financial strategy and will serve as useful information for the financial industry that is striving for sustainable management.
