This research emphasizes the necessity of the understanding and cooperation among focal governments to preserve the water quality of the Nak-dong river that runs through four local governments. First, this research considers the status of water-pollution in the Nakdong river, describes and finds problems within the central government's. "Clean Water Supply Plan" and local governments' water quality-related policies. Second, it deals with the conflict among local governments concerning the planning and building of "Wicheon Industrial Complex" in the middle-upstream of the Nakdong river which has triggered the opposition movement of the local governments and residents of the river's downstream area. With stressing the necessity of the understanding and cooperation among local governments, this research emphasizes roles of central government, of academic experts, and of local news-media in preserving the water quality. Key words : the Nakdong river, water quality policy, the conflict among local governments, the activation of local autonomy, Wicheon Industrial Complex, the cooperation among local governments.

This research purposes to design a methodological framework to suggest the optimal method to resolve the conflicts of stakeholders surrounding the water use charge of the Han River region, and to use the analysis results to provide the direction of policy. For this, it was preceded that the process of understanding the mechanisms of the multifaceted conflict between decision makers taking different positions over water use charge of the Han River region, and an optimal method to resolve the conflict of water use charge of the Han River region was derived by using a graph model for conflict resolution(GMCR). According to the analysis results, the optimal state to find a solution to the water use charge of the Han River is that the Seoul-Incheon-Gyeonggi region pays the charge according to the original rate while Seoul-Incheon requesting discount the water use rate. In addition, the Han River management committee should establish policies desired by Seoul-Incheon-Gyeonggi region including rationalization of the decision-making structure to determine the rate of water use charge, making the basis to support the Han River management fund system for the Seoul-Incheon region, and transparent management of the Han River management fund system considering the characteristics of beneficiary regions and residents. This study is expected to provide objective decision-making information in establishing environmental policy directions related to conflict resolution in the water use charge of the Han River region and to offer a methodological basis for similar follow-up studies related to conflicts derived from sharing nature environment.

This study approach the conflict in the process of promoting Dam construction plan from a hydrological method and comprehend the cause of conflict on conservation and flood collect all interested parties direct involvement and develop Shared Vision Model (SVM) to plan simulation and result. We forecast water for living, industrial water and agricultural water in each administrative district on conservation and simulate promptly in case that each structural alternative is formed and suggest water level deduction effect and change of area on watted surface and damage and organize the system to draw and agreement through exchanging mutual opinion. Also, it considered to contribute meditation and soften of conflict by securing accuracy of releasing information and trust of the result.

The purpose of this paper is to outline a research agenda for the evaluation of the sustainability of freshwater policies, especially as they relate to large cities in the Asia-Pacific region, and to co-work a comparative study on the cases of Seoul and Sydney on the basis of the research agenda. The overall long-tenn aim of the present research is to develop a framework for sustainable urban freshwater policy in the Asia-Pacific region. The nature of freshwater policies for a sample of 16 large cities in the Asia-Pacific region will be critically evaluated for 5 years in the future. For the purposes of this research agenda, four main types of urban water conflict have been evaluated - jurisdictional conflicts, conflicts related to accessibility, sectoral conflicts and environmental conflicts. Of course, in reality, aspects of these four types of conflict invariably overlap. In the case study, the environmental conflict over fresh water of Seoul can be seen as a jurisdictional, sectoral and accessibility-related conflict between the central government and Seoul local government which want to regulate the lan-use with the water conservation zone around the Paldang Dam located at a upstream of the Han River on the hand, and the Yangpyong local governmant and its population within the conservation zone which have struggled against such a regulation, on the other. In the case study on the Sydeny water crisis in 1998, the environmental conflict over fresh water of Sydney in Australia can be seen as a jurisdictional conflict between the State government and the Sydney local government and the corporatized Sydney Water which have been responsible to supply fresh water on the one hand, and the Sydney population who have been suffered from the contaminated water, on the other. Over the past ten years, both globally and in the Asia-Pacific region, including in S. Korea and Australia, the concept of sustainable development has taken on a growing role in the determination of environmental policy. The balance for sustainable policy would be between the requirement to augment water supply to cope with projected future demands and the need to improve efficiency of water use.

The conflict between upstream and downstream regions is a representative social conflict in Korea. It is important issues in the economic and environmental aspects related to interests of property rights and water quality conservation. however, it is insufficient for studies on the economic damage and benefits between upstream and downstream by policy. We studied validity for drinking water protect zone, one of the major water conflict in Korea, by comparison between social loss by property rights restriction in the upstream and social benefits in the downstream and we proposed integrated water management policy in basin level.

This study discusses two canceled dam projects, Youngwol Dam in South Korea and Two Forks Dam in Colorado of the United States. Both of them illustrate how the new paradigm applies to regional water projects because they became victims of environmental opposition in the new paradigm. While the cases have no apparent close relationships and they occurred in different decades, they offer interesting comparisons. They were basically struggles between water development coalitions and environmental protection coalitions on regional water conflicts. The two proposed projects brought about fierce debates on large dam as they embraced a wide-range of environmental, social, and political issues rather than construction of dams themselves. Huge anti-dam oppositions scrapped them at the cost of nearly ten years for decision-makings and enormous financial resources for feasibility studies respectively. It identifies who the policy actors were, what the policy strategies were, and how the water policies evolved in both countries. The decision-makings on the two projects appeared at first glance to be made under formal institutional frameworks, but in actuality, they relied significantly on decisions of the two important political actors. The Korean society began to learn negotiation and cooperation approaches to solve the water conflict by establishing the Joint Task Force Team on Youngwol project in 1999. The team is recognized as a new conflict resolution method in South Korea because a diverse of stakeholder interests voluntarily participated in the decision-making process and discussed water issues directly. Even though the projects resulted in futile fruits in each country, they illustrate the images of the new paradigm that significantly affected in formulating regional water policies in South Korea and the United States.
