This article assesses factors that affect the ability of local fire branch heads in Taiwan to mobilize volunteer organizations in local emergency responses. Data from a survey of local fire branch heads in Taiwan is analyzed by using an OLS model to test three hypotheses regarding the relationship between the dependent variable, perceived ability to mobilize volunteer organizations in emergency response, and three explanatory variables: organizational capacity, quality of communication, and the quality of citizen engagement ex-ante to emergency response. The model indicates a positive relationship between the ability to mobilize volunteer organizations in emergency response, the quality of communications, and the quality of citizen engagement in preparedness. The research suggests that local fire branch heads and volunteer organizations should begin the process of emergency response mobilization in the preparedness stage. The quality of the citizen engagement in preparedness stages should increase the ability of local fire branch managers to mobilize external resources in emergency response.

Using primary data collected through semi-structured interviews conducted during February 2019, this article examines citizen's awareness and knowledge of Khon Kaen Smart City (KKSC) among the residents of five contiguous municipalities within Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. A self-weighted sample of 420 respondents was selected through a two-stage, 30-cluster sampling process. In the first stage, a sample of 30 artificial clusters of 100 households each was selected. In the second, 14 households were randomly selected from each of these clusters. The head of household or, if unavailable, a resident aged 18 or over was interviewed. The study applies the "citizens as democratic participants" dimension of Simonofski et al.'s (2019) evaluative framework. Results found that, because of ineffective citizen engagement, the levels of awareness and knowledge about KKSC were low. However, multiple logistic regression found that, despite the low levels of awareness and knowledge, education and income could establish an independent effect on awareness of KKSC. Those who completed post-secondary school were more aware of KKSC than those who finished only secondary or primary education. Similarly, the analysis of data clearly indicated that educational attainment, solely and independently from all other socio-economic and demographic variables, could explain the positive effect of education on knowledge about KKSC.

본 연구는 지역사회 건강증진사업에서 주민참여에 영향을 미치는 사업지원요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 연구이다. B시에서 주최한 3개월간 일만보 걷기사업을 중도에 포기하지 않고 끝까지 참여한 지역주민 418명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 자기보고식 설문지를 이용하여 수집하였고, T검정과 분산분석, 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 사업 참여자 중 물리적 지원(만보기(p<.001), 걷기기록장(p<.001), 실천저금통(p=.002))을 이용하거나, 정보적 지원(걷기교육, 주민리더교육)에 참여하거나(p<.001), 촉진행사 및 모임(보건소별 걷기모임)에 참여횟수가 많거나(p<.001), 파트너십(걷기 동아리에 소속된 경우)에 따라서(p<.001) 걷기 참여일수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 걷기 기록장 사용, 동아리 소속이 걷기 참여의 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 추후 건강증진 사업운영 시 참여자의 건강증진 행위실천을 돕기 위한 물품을 지원하고 파트너십을 구축(모임, 동아리) 하는 등 주민참여 향상을 위한 다양한 정책전략이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to explore how citizens perceive application of the metaverse platforms for city marketing and investigate factors that affect overall attitude for citizen relationship management in the public sector. In particular, this study investigates the following: i) how factors including perceived city brand value, public service, emotional value, experience, personalization, economic value, social value, and cultural value on overall attitude and ii) how overall attitude affects intention to use of metaverse for the public sector and citizen satisfaction. This study conducted an online survey with the assistance of a well-known research firm. This study applied factor, ANOVA, and regression analysis to test hypotheses. The results found that effects of perceived city brand value, emotional value, information, economic value, social value, and cultural value on overall attitude toward metaverse application for the public sector showed significance. The results provide managerial and policy implications for the public sector on how to apply metaverse to provide public services and enhance engagement with citizens. The results also provide implications which aspects should be considered to enhance citizen relationship management and to build the better city brand value by applying metaverse.

This study examines Korea's international development volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative. Informed by a cultural perspective of transmission and relational models of public diplomacy, I examine the ways in which volunteer training incorporates cultural-learning into its program. The study finds that volunteer training is largely based on an instrumentalist approach to culture that places emphasis on learning the "explicit" side of culture, such as Korean traditional dance, art, and food as a strategy to promote the country's national image. In contrast, much less covered in the training program is a relational approach to culture-learning that is guided by a reflexive understanding of the "implicit" side of culture, or the values and beliefs that guide the worldviews and behavior of both volunteers and host constituents. Whereas the value of the volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative is in its potential to build relationships based on two-way engagement, its conception of culture is mostly guided by that of the transmission model of public diplomacy. Based on the findings, this study calls for an integrated approach to culture-learning in volunteer training program to move the citizen diplomacy initiative forward.

Public participation in the decision making for scarce health resources is important because health policy requires trust based consensus, which can be achieved by public's understanding and involvement of related policies. In the past, opportunities for interaction between health policy decision makers and lay public were rare in Korea. As political impulses towards public participation in health policy have increased, a few of deliberation methods were attempted. However, there is little research, reporting such cases with a critical examination of relevant theories and previous studies. We first critically review the literature on public participation within theories of democracy, governance, and empowerment. Next, we report a case of a citizen council experiment, which was held to examine public's preferences among different benefit options regarding new drugs and medical technologies. Specifically, in an one-day long citizen council with a total of 28 lay public, twelve questions of whether a drug or a technology should be included in the benefit package of health insurance were asked. Pre- and post-surveys investigated participants' perception of public engagement in health policy. Although it was experimental, the citizen council ensured that lay public could be careful enough to rationally compare the costs and benefits of different options and collectively make decisions. Further, results from pre- and post-survey showed a strong willingness of members to be involved in health care decision making. In the conclusion, we emphasize that better theories and methods need to be developed for more cases of citizen participation in health care policy and management.

Astronomy is a popular topic for the public in term of astronomical phenomenon such as occultations, solar and lunar eclipses or meteor showers. In term of education, astronomy also is popular as one of the world Science Olympiads. Social media, as the new trend in communicating and connecting people, plays a significant role in increasing the size of the astronomy community. Beyond IYA 2009, more and more astronomy activities have been done in many places in Indonesia. New astronomy communities have been formed in several cities and public engagement is also high in social media especially on Facebook and Twitter. In this paper, we will discuss the lesson learned from astronomy outreach achievements in Indonesia and the need for citizen science projects as a distance learning tool for the public as part of astronomy development in Indonesia. We argue and propose that this project will be also important up to a regional scope.

본 연구는 사회복지시설종사자의 기능적 역할행동이 서비스의 질적 수준 제고를 위해 중요하다는 논의 과정에서 관심을 끌고 있는 조직시민행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악할 목적으로 수행되었다. 조직시민행동의 선행요인으로 논의되고 있는 다양한 요인 중에서 진성리더십과 조직지원인식을 선정하고 직무열의를 매개적 역할을 하는 변수로 연구모형을 구축하고 연구가설을 검증하기 위하여 실증적 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 용인시에 있는 장애인복지시설과 노인복지시설에서 종사하는 230명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 총 216부를 분석 자료로 활용하였다. 연구결과 진성리더십과 조직지원인식은 직무열의와 조직시민행동과 유의한 정(+)의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났으며 직무열의는 조직시민행동과 선행요인인 진성리더십과 조직지원인식간의 관계에서 완전매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 진성리더십과 조직지원인식은 직무열의에 직접적인 정적영향을 미치며, 조직지원인식의 영향력이 진성리더십에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 감정노동자인 복지시설종사자에게 인지적인 태도만을 요구하는 조직보다는 조직지원인식(물적, 인적지원)과 같은 보상체계의 확보가 중요함을 시사하고 있다.
