This paper explores, explains and describes a framework for analyzing collaborative governance, decent work and innovation as fundamental elements of sustainable workplaces through case study of Philippine science and technology (S & T) parks. Rules, or the legal infrastructure, are particularly significant considerations that facilitate or hinder collaboration. Industrial relations/human resource (IR/HR) practices are essential to collaboration and decent work. Employee consultation and labor-management council or committee are examples of IR/HR practices that might contribute to collaboration and decent work in firms and workplaces in S & T parks as they are team approaches to production, too. Collaboration and decent work enhance the capacity to innovate. In the long run, collaborative governance, decent work and innovation tend to converge in the concept of sustainable development. The interdependencies and interactions among collaborative governance, decent work and capacity to innovate in firms operating in S & T parks make possible new solutions to new problems (i.e., innovation) and, thus, sustainable workplaces.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are very popular governance practices, as they enable the private partner to engage in business and have profits while the public partner improves the provision of public services. PPPs are organizational arrangements with a sector-crossing or sector-blurring nature, and are modes of governance - governance by partnerships or collaborative governance (Schuppert 2011). New models and applications of PPPs have been developed over time. Collaborative governance entails information exchange, action or movement harmonization, resource sharing, and capacity enhancement among the partners (Sale 2011; 2012a). As the national university, the University of the Philippines (UP) serves as a research university in various fields of expertise and specialization by conducting basic and applied research and development, and promoting research in various colleges and universities, and contributing to the dissemination and application of knowledge, among other purposes. (Republic Act 9500) It is the site of two (2) science and technology parks (Sale 2012b), one of which is the UP - Ayala Land Technohub. A collaboration between industry and the academe, the Technohub is envisioned as an integrated community of science and technology companies building a dynamic learning and entrepreneurial laboratory (UP-AyalaLand Technohub). This paper takes a closer look at the UP - Ayala Land Technohub as an example of a PPP or collaborative governance in science and technology parks. Have information exchange, action or movement harmonization, resource sharing, and capacity enhancement taken place in the Technohub? What are some significant outcomes of, and issues arising from, the PPP? What assessment indicators may be used? Is a governance instrument needed?

Recently, investment to basic science has been increased and infrastructure of science and technology has been expanded in developed countries like U.S.A, UK and Japan to foster high-tech industries. Science and research parks are built and under operation to acquire national competitive power and to activate regional economy over the world today. It is argued that more synergy effects are generated when science and research parks are operated in cooperation with related organizations and facilities such as firms, universities, research institutes and governments than it is operated by one organization. The aim of this paper is to develop a governance model of science and research parks. One comprehensive model and three individual governance models were developed according to the structure and relations of industry-science/research park-supporting organization interactions. When governance model of science and research parks is established and properly managed, national development capacity would be greatly enhanced through the acceleration of technology transfer, industrial production rise and enhancement of efficiency in the area of R&D and supporting system etc. One of the key factors in building governance system for science and research parks is establishing a control tower that supervises governance system comprehensively and systematically.

서울의 '원전하나 줄이기(2012)' 정책은 성공적인 도시 에너지 정책이자, 에너지 전환(energy transition)의 성공사례로 소개되고 있다. 하지만, 본 정책의 이른바 '목표달성'이 어떻게 가능했는지에 대해서는 구체적으로 설명된 바가 없다. 본 연구는 원전하나 줄이기 정책의 높은 수준의 성과가 가능한 이유로, 정책인식, 정책목표, 정책수단 및 정책평가 등의 체계 구성요인 간의 조화를 유지할 수 있었던 서울시의 거버넌스 역량을 핵심 요인으로 제시하였다. 이러한 거버넌스 관점의 설명은 정책의 장(policy arena)으로서의 도시의 중요성을 부각시키고, 도시정부의 역량에 따라 체계의 전반적인 전환 과정에서 내적 일관성을 유지하며 정책체계로서의 항상성과 지속성을 유지할 수 있음을 보여준다. 경성에너지체계로 정의되는 합리성-효율성-중앙집권적 에너지체계는 원전하나 줄이기 정책의 시행과 더불어 연성에너지체계로 이행되기 시작하였다. 에너지체계 운영의 주체로서, 체계전환을 관리하는 서울시의 역량은 따라서 가장 중요한 설명변수가 된다.

There is an implicit assumption in most regional innovation policy studies that once a policy has been made the policy will be implemented. This assumption is not valid for regional innovation policies formulated in many countries. This assumption rests upon certain political and organization conditions. It is frequently said that regional innovation system in Korea is one of the successful cases because of properly established institution for the implementation of innovation policies. The components of institution for innovation are defined in this article. For the analysis of institution for regional innovation system in Korea, three aspects such as organization, policies & programs, and governance structure were taken into account. Institution for regional innovation system in Korea is analyzed with three aspects: (1) organization for policy implementation, (2) innovation policy, and (3) governance structure. Firstly, organizations for innovation in Korea are composed of three categories such as organizations for policy formulation, organizations for policy implementation and agencies for coordination. Secondly, there are two categories of policies for innovation: (1) policies for the enhancement of national competitiveness and policies for the regional innovation capacity building, and (2) policies for fostering manpower and policy for regulatory reform. Thirdly, innovation governance in Korea is composed of three layer structure: (1) top level governance which is composed of two committee, three ministries and two agencies, (2) local level governance such as one innovation related offices and one center for regulatory reform, and (3) one category of agency for coordination as a regional platform.

This study aims to analyze the features of adaptation governance of local governments by applying a multi-level governance framework, and to draw policy implications. We analyzed changes in governance of 17 metropolitan cities/provinces, and 33 municipalities in terms of horizontal and vertical cooperation in the process of developing 'The Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan' and its implementation stage. The result shows that the plan contributed to the higher level of vertical cooperation between the central and the local governments to a certain extent, however, during the implementation stage, the level of the partnership decreased due to the absence of governance mechanism. These trends were statistically significant at the level of municipalities. The role of Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) was also diminished after establishing the plan. The horizontal partnership level among the relevant departments of the local governments showed no significant change as the level was low even in the planning stage. Though Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has increased a bit, it was statistically significant only in the municipalities. Moreover, there was no governance mechanism for PPP or it did not work properly. Based on the results above, it is recommended that the effectiveness of the plans should be increased and support for climate change partnerships or forums at a local level that promotes adaptive capacity is needed. The role of metropolitan cities and provinces should be strengthened through building a multi-level partnership structure. Governance institutionalizing for monitoring and evaluation is also needed.

In order to protect secret digital documents against vulnerabilities while communicating, steganography algorithms are applied. It protects a digital file from unauthorized access by hiding the entire content. Pixel-value-difference being a method from spatial domain steganography utilizes the difference gap between neighbor pixels to fulfill the same. The proposed approach is a block-wise embedding process where blocks of variable size are chosen from the cover image, therefore, a stream of secret digital contents is hidden. Least significant bit (LSB) substitution method is applied as an adaptive mechanism and optimal pixel adjustment process (OPAP) is used to minimize the error rate. The proposed application succeeds to maintain good hiding capacity and better signal-to-noise ratio when compared against other existing methods. Any means of digital communication specially e-Governance applications could be highly benefited from this approach.

This study intended to develop an integrated governance model and find measures to manage nonpoint source (NPS) pollutions in watershed management. To reach this goal, this study has analyzed NPS pollution management policies in Korea and has employed statistical methods such as expert Delphi survey, analysis of variance, and factor analysis. As a result, this study has found that the favored basic organization form was a private-public cooperative council. The necessary governance-based NPS pollution management measures determined through this study are as follows: to build collaboration mechanisms including those related to motivation provision, trust building, capacity building, and making optimal regulations; to employ financial resources based on principles such as 'polluter-pays', 'recipient-pays', and 'general-tax-source'; and to develop several programs, including system improvement, pilot and management projects, and publicity.

본 연구는 안동국제탈춤페스티벌의 거버넌스의 특성을 분석하고 평가하였다. 평가는 사회적 정당성, 신뢰성, 전문성 그리고 투명성의 4가지 요소별로 거버넌스 주체 상호간 교차평가에 초점을 두었다. 안동국제탈춤페스티벌의 핵심적인 성공요인으로는 축제 주체 간의 협력적 파트너십에 기초한 거버넌스를 들 수 있다. 2011년 현재 안동국제탈춤페스티벌의 거버넌스는 '안동축제 관광조직위원회'를 중심으로 축제전문가, 시민사회단체, 지역상공인단체, 자원봉사자 그리고 지방정부 등의 각 주체들이 수평적이고 개방적인 파트너십에 기초한 소위 '민간주도형' 거버넌스를 그 특성으로 들 수 있다. 안동국제탈춤페스티벌의 거버넌스는 투명성을 제외하고는 모든 구성요소에 대하여 긍정적인 것으로 평가되었다. 거버넌스에 대하여 긍정적으로 평가한 경향이 강한 주체는 축제를 주도적으로 기획, 집행 그리고 평가 과정에 참여한 주체이었다. 긍정적으로 평가한 이유는 사회적 정당성의 경우에는 사업에 대한 정당성과 관련 주체의 참여 보장, 신뢰성에 있어서는 주체의 능력과 인지 및 제도적 신뢰이었다. 전문성의 경우는 전문지식, 대안제시 능력 그리고 업무의 지속성이었고, 투명성에 있어서는 원활한 의사소통과 정보 공개 및 공유 보장이었다. 앞으로 거버넌스의 효율성을 제고하기 위해서는 상대적으로 한정적인 역할을 수행하였던 주체의 적극적인 참여와 주체 간 그리고 주체와 일반시민 간의 원활한 의사소통과 정보공유를 보다 강화하기 위한 대안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
