Despite the well-proven, safe and effective therapies for hepatitis B infection, delivery of treatment remains a significant challenge in resource-poor settings. Geopolitical and economic restrictions present additional difficulties in providing care in North Korea. However, treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B remains a top priority for both the North Korean Ministry of Public Health and international agencies working in North Korean hepatitis healthcare facilities. Working in partnership, a path was created to institute this much-needed program. A consortium of United States and Australian humanitarian non-governmental organizations along with generous individual and corporate donors working in concert with local and national health authorities have succeeded in establishing the first hepatitis B treatment program in North Korea. The essential elements of this program include renovation of existing hepatitis hospitals, access to antiviral medications, establishment of laboratory facilities, creation of medical documentation and record-keeping, training of local health care professionals, and quarterly visits by international volunteer physicians and laboratory experts. Management and treatment decisions are made bilaterally. To date, nearly 1,500 patients have been evaluated, and over 800 have been started on long-term antiviral therapy. It is envisioned that this program will eventually be managed and funded by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Ministry of Public Health. This program's success demonstrates a potential model for delivery of antiviral therapy for patients suffering from hepatitis B in other developing countries.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the intrinsic strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities for success and threats of Korean health care industry when planning strategies to enter Chinese health care market. Methods: To suggest directions for planning the strategies, a SWOT(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis was used in combination with an AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) in this study. A total of twenty SWOT factors and the relative weight of SWOT groups were examined through a survey on the respondents who have work experiences in the area of entering Chinese market. Results: "Geographical proximity between Korea and China" was recognized as a key strength. "Absence of success case in medical service industry" was selected as a critical weakness. "Increase in demand for advanced medical services in China" was identified as an important opportunity. "Difficulty in establishing Korea-China partnership" was considered as a major threat. The respondents prioritized weaknesses, followed by threats, opportunities, and strengths when conducting strategic planning to enter Chinese health care market. Conclusions: Improving local hospital management plan as well as specializing in certain health care services may be necessary.

자유학기제는 학생 참여 중심의 수업방법 개선과 진로교육 강화로 교육혁신을 추구하고 있으며, 이를 통하여 핵심역량의 함양을 목적으로 하고 있다. 변화하는 교육환경에서 학교도서관의 이용, 공공도서관의 지원 활동 현황과 개선 방안, 그리고 대학도서관과 문헌정보학과의 역할을 고찰하였다. 학교도서관은 핵심역량 함양에 효과적인 교육 인프라임에도 불구하고 활용도는 매우 낮으며, 공공도서관의 학교 지원 프로그램은 외부 특강과 탐방에 치우쳐 도서관의 자료와 서비스를 경험하는 기회를 제공하기에 미흡하다. 교육계가 공공도서관의 지원 활동에 큰 관심을 갖고 있으므로 학교도서관의 입지를 강화할 수 있는 협력 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다. 그리고 지역의 대학도서관과 문헌정보학과의 교수, 학생을 연계하여 직업체험, 진로교육, 그리고 역량 함양을 아우르는 입체적 교육 프로그램 개발에 공공도서관의 주도적 역할이 기대된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the trends of jjok-bang research based on the perspective of Community-Based Participatory Research and Social Ecological Model and to provide information for future public health interventions, policy designs, and policy implementations. Methods: Studies used in the systematic review are published from 1999 to 2014 and searched using key words such as 'jjok-bang' and 'single room occupancy' using domestic and international electronic databases. However, there were no studies from abroad published during this period. Search in domestic databases such as KCI, KISS, RISS generated 119 studies. In this paper, 20 cases which meet the criteria of the systematic review were included in the final analysis. Results: The contents of research included are the life of jjok-bang inhabitants(9 cases), the demand for welfare services(4 cases) and welfare need(2 cases), mental health(1 cases), and the history of jjok-bang formation(4 cases). Fourteen cases of empirical study were analyzed focusing Community-Based Participatory Research and Social Ecological Model. Some of research was carried out forming a partnership with various community partners and this trend increased since 2008. There are high frequency of intrapersonal level and interpersonal level studies. However, studies looking at the organization, community or policy level were relatively few. Conclusions: Future studies of jjok-bang area should consider the various social determinants which affect the health delivery system, community organization and policies, as well as individual or community level.

Objectives: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is a kind of health promotion approach to increase social cohesion and sense of community, which has built the collaborated partnership in all phases. This has the co-ownership of research objectives and knowledges produced by residents, and the outcome was taken to enhance community empowerment. This study performed to embody CBPR, which had regulated collective health status approached by social epidemiology. Methods: Reference review had been exercised focused on CBPR books and papers published since 1990. Our interests were aimed at its paradigm and methodological issues. Particularly, we problematized its feasibility in the social and behavioral foundations of pubic health. Results: According to the review, CBPR shared critical understanding and decision-making related to their community development including health status. Therefore, it was strength-based approach in spite of scientific dichotomy. CBPR created social cohesion and community empowerment with all participants, because it sublated contradiction between subjectivism and objectivism. Conclusions: The success of CBPR needs what we so called trust, democracy, collaboration, devotion, and consensus of equity. Despite these factors, CBPR may be a methodological transition to prepare some intervention of health inequality. This is because it does emphasize a mixture of theory and praxis to manage vulnerable people in community.

Recent years have witnessed renewed interest in Africa and public diplomacy has emerged as the vital tool being used to cultivate these relations. China has been leading in pursuing stronger economic partnership with Africa while middle powers such as Korea are also intensifying engagement with the continent. While previous studies have analyzed the implications of China's activities in Africa on advanced powers, none has examined them from the paradigm of middle powers. This study fills this gap by assessing China's activities in Africa, their economic engagement and implications for Korea's interest in Africa. The analysis is qualitative based on secondary data from various sources and literature. The study shows that China's public diplomacy strategy involves a high degree of innovation and has evolved to encompass new tools and audiences. China has institutionalized a cooperative model that permeates many aspects of governance institutions in Africa, enabling it to strengthen their relations. This could also be helping China to adjust faster leadership transitions in Africa. Whereas the US is still the most influential country in Africa, China is influential in economic policies and has outstripped the US in infrastructure diplomacy. This could be because African policy makers align more with China's economic model than the US' mainstream economics. Chinese aid to Africa has been diversified to social sectors that are more responsive to the needs of Africa. Trade and investment relations between China and Africa have deepened, but so does trade imbalance since 2010. China mainly imports natural resources and raw materials from Africa. But this product portfolio is not different from Korea and the US. China's energetic insertion in Africa using various strategies has significant implications for countries with ambitions in Africa. Korea can achieve its ambitions in Africa by focusing resources in areas it can leverage its core strengths-such as education and vocational training, environmental policy and development cooperation.

This study analyzed a characteristic by types of urban regeneration helping the establishment of urban identity under social condition change. It will be foundation of sustainable urban development with strategy that secures world-wide competitive power. For this, sample cases that established identity from urban regeneration were reviewed about the main subject and the supporting subject in business side and hardware, software, system, and finance in design factors. 4samples each in inheritance intensification type and change creation type were selected and analyzed. The result said it is most effective to establish urban identity when inheritance intensification type is the private-centered for urban regeneration. And it is better to do the project that the main subject and the supporting subject are taken by the private or the private-leading partnership. It is necessary to manage the region and plan events with software design factors more than hardware design factors. In addition, for urban identity, it was found to be desirable to utilize and preserve fully current resources such as historical scenery and activate the communities than making new facilities. On the contrary, the project based on change creation type needs to be under the public management with innovative idea. Also, when it comes to design factors, facilities related to culture and art and community spaces should open and run actively. It is important for the region to improve its image by New design style such as TOD. In software side, it is important to manage the region by monitoring about urban regeneration business and solve social mix and employment problem. On the other hand, in terms of system and administration, both types don't show a difference in urban identity establishment, since it is same that both should make partnership and get a support of subsidy to be most effective.

한국 기업들은 새로운 시장을 개척해야할 시점에 와있다고 평가할 수 있다. 우리나라는 2011년 무역 1조 달러 달성에 성공하였다. 그러나 그 이후 답보상태에 머무르고 있으며 최근에는 수출증가율이 둔화되고 있다. 이러한 장애요인들을 딛고, 제2의 도약을 이루기 위해서는 신시장개척이 필요한 시점이다. 이러한 상황에서 최근 BOP(Base of the Pyramid)시장이 주목의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 BOP시장에 진입하기 위하여서는 국제개발협력의 수단 중 공적개발원조(ODA)를 활용하는 것이 하나의 대안이 될 수 있다. 특히 2017년 현재 총인구 6억3천만 명을 상회하며 2050년에는 인구 8억 명으로 추산되는 아세안은 세계 3위의 인구를 갖고 있으며, 자체 내에 거대한 BOP시장을 갖고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 아세안시장진출을 위하여 ODA기반의 BOP시장 비즈니스 모델을 제시한다. 본 연구는 총 4개의 모델을 제시하며, 특히 CSV를 기반으로 공여국과 수원 국 모두 가치를 달성할 수 있는 민간주도형 민간협력 BOP 비즈니스모델의 중요성을 강조한다.

본 연구는 공공관리 전환 측면에서 논의되고 있는 공원 거버넌스의 사례분석을 통하여 대형 도시공원 조성과 운영관리의 추진방향과 전략을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 최근 대형 도시공원에서 나타나는 민관 파트너십, 거버넌스의 사례는 공공 서비스 전환의 필요성을 나타낸다. 프레시디오 공원과 시드니 하버 국립공원의 조성과정과 운영관리 전략을 분석하여 공원 거버넌스 의미와 효과, 전제조건을 확인하였다. 분석의 틀로 다음의 6가지 항목-정책, 거버넌스, 파트너십, 재정 및 기금, 디자인 및 운영과 관리, 평가와 모니터링-을 선정하고 분석을 수행하였다. 사례 분석을 통해 확인한 점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공원 정책수립에서 계획과 운영관리까지 일관성 있게 목표를 추진하는 것이 필요하며, 공원에 대한 권한과 책임을 독립적 운영주체 조직에 이양함으로써 유연한 공원 서비스가 가능하다. 둘째, 트러스트를 중심으로 공공 행정, 비영리민간조직, 민간기업, 지역 커뮤니티단체, 학술기관 등의 폭넓은 파트너십이 구축됨으로써 공원 활동의 다양성이 확대될 수 있다. 셋째, 공원의 경제적 자족성 모색은 공공재정 의존도를 낮추어 위기 대응력을 높이고, 자체적 수익모델을 구성하여 공원의 재투자가 가능한 경제적 선순환 구조를 형성한다. 장기적으로 공원 관리의 질을 높이고, 지역경제와도 연동하는 효과를 만든다. 넷째, 공원 조성 운영관리 실행 체계에서 지역 커뮤니티를 공원의 생산자이며, 소비자로 기능할 수 있도록 하는 보다 다양하고 구체적인 지역커뮤니티 참여 방안과 실행전략이 필요하다. 두 공원에서 시도하고 있는 전략들은 공공 중심의 논의 틀을 민간과 제 3의 섹터, 즉 지역 커뮤니티 그룹으로 전환하고 있다는 측면에서 공원 거버넌스 모델의 지향과 의미를 확인할 수 있다. 그러나 공원에서의 민간 활동에 의한 사유화 우려, 재정적 자족성 확보를 위한 수익운영 정책이 야기하는 공공재 본질성의 침해는 한계로 지적된다. 공원 거버넌스 모델은 앞으로도 대형 도시공원의 지속가능성을 모색해야 하는 시점에서 지속적인 연구와 논의가 필요하다.
