Participatory budgeting has been introduced and proliferated with differentiated types by Local Finance Act which had been revised in 2011. This study aims to classify the types of Participatory Budgeting by participatory institutions and participatory levels and suggest the implications. We have reviewed the participatory budgeting operation ordinances, operating plans and operating systems of 243 local governments. And the participatory budgeting can be divided into five types. First, submission of opinion type found in 100 local governments is characterized by operating without participatory institutions. Second, commission type found in 85 local governments is characterized by having only participatory budgeting committee. Third, regional meeting type found in 21 local governments is characterized by having participatory budgeting committee and regional meeting or only regional committee. Fourth, public-private partnership type found in 30 local governments is characterized by having citizen-government meeting. Fifth, delegated power type found in 7 local governments is characterized by having policy fair or mobile voting, or both. Analysis showed that institutionalization levels of participatory budgeting is not high because many local governments(76.5%) are belong to submission of opinion type or commission type in South Korea. For developing participatory budgeting, participatory institutions, such as citizen-government meetings, policy fair or mobile voting, should be adopted and proliferated in more and more local governments.

Objectives: This paper is intended to illustrate and to discuss the organization and functioning of community resident groups (CRGs) in a community-based participatory health promotion program for healthy aging. Methods: CRGs were convened in 12 government-subsidized apartment communities for low-income seniors in Pennsylvania, U.S.A., to promote healthy aging. Researchers facilitated CRG meetings following a 6-step process of community empowerment and utilizing a social ecological model for assessment and planning. Almost 200 project-related documents were qualitatively analyzed using matrix analysis principles such as cross-classification of multiple dimensions to identify patterns in the data and matrix building for displaying such patterns. Results: CRGs were venues at which apartment building residents could interact, discuss health priorities, and become change agents in their building. CRG members' community health priorities were about their daily living, including building conditions, poor access to fresh food, and unhealthy resident relations. Specific patterns arose in analysis indicating that leadership withing the CRGs, consistency of meetings and participants' attendance, and ability to link health concerns to daily experience impacted the CRGs' capability to identify and accomplish their goals. Conclusion: Community health issues and solutions to those issues identified by CRGs were unique to community contexts and interests. Consistent participation by community members, a consistent pattern of group activities such as monthly meetings, and having established leadership to manage CRG activities were prominent characteristics of community group functioning.

집중호우시 농경지에서 발생하는 흙탕물은 수질 및 수생태계를 오염시키며, 환경오염에 따른 사회·경제적 문제를 지속적으로 초래하고 있다. 정부와 지자체는 흙탕물 발생이 심각한 지역을 '비점오염원관리지역'으로 지정·고시하여 흙탕물 저감사업을 추진하였으나, 뚜렷한 성과를 나타내지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 최근 정부의 흙탕물 저감사업은 저감시설 설치 등과 같은 구조적 방법에서 발생원관리 중심으로 패러다임이 전환되고 있다. 농경지에서 발생하는 비점오염원의 발생원관리를 위해서는 주민들의 적극적인 참여가 필수적이나, 아직까지 주민들의 비점오염원에 대한 인식이 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 주민참여 거버넌스를 구축하여 주민들의 인식을 개선하고, 주민들의 참여를 유도하여 농촌지역 실정에 맞는 주민참여형 농업비점오염 관리의 기반을 마련하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 강원도 비점오염원관리지역인 가아지구 내 강원도 인제군 인제읍 가아2리 마을일원으로, 본 연구의 참여농가는 총 10농가, 참여농지 면적은 21.81 ha이다. 참여농가를 대상으로2022년 10월 9일, 10월 16일, 10월 23일 총 3회에 걸쳐 주민 교육을 실시하였으며, 주기적인 설문조사를 통해 교육 진행에 따른 주민 인식 변화를 측정하였다. 설문조사는 교육참여자를 대상으로 3회 실시하였으며, 농업비점오염 개념, 최적관리기법의 이해, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지에 관한 내용으로 구성하였다. 설문조사 점수에 대한 기준은 전혀아니다(1점), 그렇지않다(2점), 보통이다(3점), 그렇다(4점), 매우 그렇다(5점)로 선정하였다. 설문조사 결과 농업비점오염원의 대한 이해도는 1차 62점, 2차 66점, 3차 80점, 최적관리기법의 이해도는 1차 59점, 2차 64점, 3차 75점, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지도는 1차 61점, 2차 73점, 3차 80점으로 나타났다. 1차 설문조사 결과 대비 3차설문조사 결과 농업비점오염의 개념 및 최적관리기법의 이해도는 22.5, 21.3% 증가하는것으로 분석되었으며, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지도는 23.8% 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 조사 결과와 같이 교육을 통해 주민들의 인식이 전환된 것으로 분석되었으며, 비점오염원 저감활동에 대한 의지가 표준 이상으로 나타나 주민 참여 거버넌스 구축 연구를 통해 실질적인 농촌 비점오염 관리가 가능할 것이라 기대된다.

This paper closely examines the relation between ‘how the local residents' involvement in a tourist industry and their perception of tourist development have an influence on tourism' and also 'how the understanding of a tourist effect has an influence on the local residents' participating intention in the tourist policy'. The local residents' involvement in the tourist industry was influenced by economical and socio-cultural factors among the influencing perceptions on local festivals, but, statistically, was not influenced by an environmental factor. The local residents' perception of tourist development has influenced on each local festival, and for the rate of influence, the environmental factor was the highest, and in the next order, the residents' intention to participate in tourist policy, the socio-cultural factor, and the economical factor followed. In the relation between local residents' perception of tourist influence and their participating intention, only the factor of socio-culture had a plus(+) influence on the participating intention in the tourist policy. It is expected that this result will be different from the tourist influence of tourist development. Therefore, a study of the perception on the influence of tourist development will be required in the future.
