This study aims to apply the logic model in order to evaluate outcomes of revitalization projects of rural centers as a part of the regional capacity strengthening in Yeongwol-gun. According to the study results, first of all, it was unclear to answer for questions what, how and why to lead the project, when examining logical associations among program inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes. As an alternative method, the logic model has been applied, and this in turn led to clarify the goals, inputs, contents, outputs, outcomes as well as overall outcome goals and purpose of the current projects. Second of all, the initial, intermediate and long term outcome goals of the current project were indistinctly specified, and moreover, their evaluation methods were also unclear. By applying the logic model to the current regional capacity strengthening project, it was able to figure the distinction between program outputs and outcomes, and specify initial, intermediate and long term target goals as well as their evaluation tools. It is therefore to conclude that the logic model has a possibility to apply to a project evaluation, especially in the sense that this method considers efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of each project.

This research was as part of restocking project conducted until 1986. The necessity of its economic and scientific verification on restocking project increased. The economic analysis of this project was intended to measure its effectiveness of rockfish restocking throughout certain water areas. The rockfish restocking in 2008 was carried two regional governments of Gyeongnam and Busan. 3-year average annualized performance is 3.76 million rockfish restocked and 940 million won invested. As Gyeongnam restocked 3.62 million rockfish and invested 890 million won, most of rockfish stocking accomplished in Gyeongnam. The public shipment was the 3-year average amount was about 400 tons. Each Suhyup shipment as follows; TongYong 66.6 tons, Namhae 23.6 tons, Samcheonpo 17.2 tons; Yeosu 13.3 tons, Geoje 4.7 tons, Goseong 3.1 tons, Hadong 1.0 tons. The private shipment was assessed by the interview of relevant market participations. The high percent areas of public ship were Nemaha, Goseong 90% and Geoje 80% or more. Hadong and Samcheonpo were about 50%. TongYong was 10% and the lowest. The private shipment was calculated using the percentage of private shipment surveyed. The total amount of private shipment was 4.8 billion, where 4.5 billion was TongYong, where most of private shipment is being made. The positive economic benefit occurred when the percent of restocked is over 15% in the overall catch. The percentage of restocked investigated with genetic test was 58.2%. With 58.2% ratio of restocked, there was 3.8 times economic benefit according to approximately 3.6 billion won. Economic effects were highly significant. As catch increased according restocking, joint market commission increased. Joint market commission was calculated as total restocked shipment multiplied by the ratio of commission, the calculated commissions were as follows; Hadong 5.0%, Geoje 4.8%, Goseong 4.8%, Namhae 4.8%, Samcheonpo 4.3%, Yeosu 4.3%, TongYong 4.0%. According to calculation results, annual commission fee of ￦60,000,000 was raised during 2006~2008. The fishing catch bulk for entertainment significantly increased in sea area carried with mass restock.

While the amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in Korea has been increasing, there are some criticism about the effectiveness and management of ODA itself. The ODA in the area of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) is also increasing but seems to have many problems. First, there is not clearly defined or agreed definition for STI ODA internationally as well as domestically. Second, the evaluation on the STI ODA performance is not enough. Third, the planning and management capability to implement ODA project is generally lacking. In this background, the issue of performance factors of STI policy consultation project was analyzed using the case studies and expert interviews. It is concluded that not only STI knowledge transferring capacity but also the absorptive capacity is important for the success of STI policy consultation project. In this sense, it is suggested to plan and manage the STI ODA project with the consideration of both transferring capacity and absorptive capacity.

The fishing vessel buyback program, that is, the project of fishing vessel reduction is a complex challenge that needs to take into consideration for both fishing resource protection and industrial restructuring. By the way, the fishing vessel buyback program in Korea is still poorly fruitful and there are few applications for the project in the country. For example, the buyback program of this nation has some problems like uncertainly set goals, conflicts among targets, no flexibility in the program implementation, low participation in the project and lack in follow-up actions. To solve these problems, this study offers the following alternatives. First, it is setting up detailed targets for fishing vessel buyback. Those targets should be what can be actually driven under policy support, such as reduction in illegal fishing, decrease in an exact number of fishing vessels and decline in fishing capacity rather than what seem to be comprehensive such as protection of coastal or offshore fishery and industrial restructuring. Second, it is taking measures for the livelihood of those who would face disadvantages due to fishing vessel reduction. Those measures providing or supporting the re-education and re-employment of fishery workers and building up systems that help the workers transfer fishing to another job. Third, it is adopting the governance system that overcomes lacks in communications between the fishing vessel buyback program and improves the performance effectiveness of that program. Here, governance means that businesses and authorities concerned in the program interact and cooperate with one another in making and implementing policies related to the project of fishing vessel reduction and assessing the results of that project. Fourth, it is taking actions for fishery reorganization after the fishing vessel buyback program. Factors that can be considered as those actions include supporting fishery workers' cost of fishing vessel reduction, decreasing and modernizing fishing fleets and improving the quality of fishing equipment. In conclusion, the fishing vessel buyback program should be prepared with comprehensive actions or measures that can cope well with a variety of problems that may be arisen from it while keeping itself on the track of its original goals.
