This study started with the two fundamental questions of the global economic crisis : whether the present economic, economic and social system can survive the present life, and whether the crisis can solve the crisis with economic logic. It was an attempt to explore alternative economic models of alternative economic models by examining the history, status, challenge, challenge and success tasks of the French social solidarity economie (ESS, Economie Sociale et Solidaire), an alternative to the new economic and social development. The roles and duties of the social solidarity economy (civic groups, corporations, and governments) were examined to have a successful outcome in order to re-evaluate the functions and roles of the French social solidarity economy. Though the le repport of Vercamer(2010) and the charter of Social Economy(1980), we analyzed four projects that move the social economics model of sharing: democratic operations, human centered economy, solidarity investments, free participation, free participation, etc. Subsequently, the activities of social solidarity, which account for more than 10 percent of the current French economy, have drawn hints on the social and social implications of the Korean society, and have focused on creating a new alternative to the economic and social crises facing the Korean society, and exploring the possibility of a socio-economic crisis in Korea today. These studies have introduced the ideological factors and the types of achievements in the French social solidarity economie, from the 19th century to the present, and at the same time, the rationale and justification for continued economic experiment in Korea, which faces depression and economic crises.

This study focuses on how clothing can increase in the age of the shared economy and as an alternative to the capitalist economy of the 21st century. This study investigates how infants and children use clothes as they undergo many changes based on physical growth, identifies use and disposal methods for surplus clothing from the perspective of a shared economy and explores plans to foster an environment for the healthy use of clothes. The objectives of this study are as follows. First, identify the need for new clothes based on physical changes in the human body; second, propose an alternative to permanent disposal by making used clothes appropriate for temporary disposal (renting and leasing). In sharing services, the condition and quality of the product were found to be the most important factors. The condition and quality of the product (70.0%) were the most important factors in sharing services. The sharing services for clothes and goods of infants and children could become popular quickly if there was a reliability guarantee offered by such sharing services. In addition, providing trial services and aggressive publicity for sharing services is urgent for the expansion of opportunities for general consumers.

This paper describes on studies of the heavy duty engine calibration for better fuel economy based on real driving conditions. Using testbed validated software simulation of the engine and turbocharger system, an alternative turbocharger specification, with potential to improve fuel economy was identified. Secondly, the engine calibration was modified to optimize vehicle fuel economy over a typical customer drive cycle whilst still meeting the steady-state (testbed) emissions legislation. These results were confirmed by field testing of a vehicle equipped with the updated specifications. This study found good agreements between the prediction and the field test on the vehicle fuel economy improvements of the express bus with updated calibration and turbocharger.

Korea, a resource-scarce country, has been undergoing export-led economic growth in the form of processing and intermediary trade for the past several decades. In Korea, which has an export-led economic structure centered on processing trade, the export economy precedes the domestic economy, so Korea's monthly export performance has been used as an important indicator of economic indicators in itself. In recent decades, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which account for 99% of the total number of domestic enterprises, account for about 35% of exports as of 2021. In this study, from the viewpoint of emphasizing the export contribution of SMEs, the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Export Business Index is developed based on the actual export performance of SMEs, through which this paper could present alternative index differentiated from the existing Business Survey Indexes.

The purpose of this paper is to shed the light on one of the most important influential factors for the development the Palestinian economy, which is logistics system. The discussion about the Palestinian state and its economy arise after the UN General Assembly voted to grant Palestine a nonmember state. Palestine is considered land-locked country, although it has seashore. Although Palestine has seashore, it is considered land-locked country due to the lack of sovereign logistics infrastructure. International Trade with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt is done through land border crossings. Palestinian international trade to European, Asian, and American countries is currently done through Israeli airports and seaports. Almost 99% of the Palestinian imports are through land. Israeli policies and procedures incur Palestinian exports additional transportation costs when delivering their products to Israeli ports and Airport and even when transit these cargos to neighboring countries through Israeli controlled areas. Therefore, without direct access to international markets, the Palestinian economy will not be able to compete in international markets, and will continue its dependence on the Israeli economy. Considering that the current situation will continue, alternative routes for international trade to avoid using the Israeli ports are Aqaba Port in Jordan and Port Said in Egypt. In the long term, having a seaport and Airport in Gaza, Airport in the West Bank, and constructing the Corridor connecting Gaza and the West Bank, is the only solution capable for independently integrating the Palestinian economy with the region and other countries in the world, and therefore creating competitive advantage for the Palestinian exports.

Purpose - This study posits that sustainable mobility of the sharing economy plays a key role to consider environment benefits. The purpose of this study is to investigate the bicycle-sharing economy as an emerging and alternative mode of transportation service and provide managerial and policy implications. The bicycle-sharing economy is still at an early stage of introduction as a transportation mode, while the governmental sector is promoting public bicycle-sharing to encourage bicycle as a substitute for private cars. Research design, data, and methodology - This study analyzed the current status of bicycle sharing programs through a survey that was distributed randomly to users and non-users across the country. Using factor analysis, satisfaction and loyalty for the existing users and intention to use and expected satisfaction for the potential users were examined in relation to utility factors. Results - The results show that economic utility affects satisfaction for user, while storage, mobility, and economic utility affects intention to use for potential users. The findings of this study indicate that in order to promote a bicycle-sharing scheme, it would be better to focus on the scheme's economic advantage to be truly effective. Conclusions - The findings of the study could be applicable to future directions of the sharing economy as a means to achieve the sustainable development of society.

Diverse alternative economies have been discussed to overcome the problems with the globalizing neoliberal capitalism. Social economy and cooperatives are those focusing on the community economies; most countries have local economy-society based on mutual aid and common properties. Various experiences and institutions across local areas have been evolved to keep using their local resources in sustainable way. While recent social economy discussions in Korea are mostly in relation to economic crisis and focus on the Western experiences and institutions, the local area experiences in Korea are similar to the rules universal across countries along with particulars developed from local circumstances. Jeju has maintained village common fishing ground and Isidore farm which has been developed as an innovative type of cooperatives. These cases help to find community economies in practices and studying local experiences would enhance the opportunity to succeed in finding and practicing real alternative community economies in other local areas.

Because of the recession of the world economy, small businesses face with many problems in securing their required labor force, capital, technology, among others. As an alternative to address those difficulties, there is a research to introduce the "sharing economy", which shares and changes resources. However SMEs have difficulties in actually introducing the sharing economy and the introduction of inter-company because sharing economy business models do not exist. This research has presented the business model for the sharing economy that is necessary in the introduction and operation of the said economy among SMEs. In order to design the business model for the B2B sharing economy, this research has drawn the components needed to design the business model through a preceding study on existing business models. Based on this and the preceding study, this research has presented the business model, which can be introduced to the sharing economy among SMEs. In addition Business model presented in this study will be a guideline for introducing shared economic conditions for each SMEs.

Under these circumstances, this study assumes the current perspective of the domestic science and technology community on the creative economy fails to properly reflect the spirit of the times and so aims to suggest the "creative economy for people's happiness" as an alternative perspective along with a set of policy implications. To that end, this paper looks through the theory of the creative economy and examines existing perspectives on the creative economy from a critical point of view. And then, it explores the characteristics of the creative economy for people's happiness and related examples. Lastly, policy implications are drawn up for the Park Geun-hye government.
