The purpose of this study is to classify the lifelong learning policy implementation process of lifelong learning in Korea according to the policy making decision models and to suggest developmental tasks. Korea's lifelong learning policy came to a full-fledged start with the enactment of the Lifelong Education Act in 2000. The Lifelong Education Act proposed the establishment of an open educational system as a strategy to realize the lifelong learning society. According to the Lifelong Education Act, the Korean government has developed several lifelong education policies such as providing learning opportunity for the underprivileged, facilitating lifelong learning city project, building lifelong learning culture, recognizing of experiential learning result, funding lifelong learning hub university, launching lifelong learning supporting administrative etc. The Korean lifelong system is characterized as Allison's (1971) governmental/bureaucratic, Ziegler and Johnson's (1972) legislative, Griffin's(1987) social control and Green's (2000) state-led models which make policy through the coordination between the government and the parliament and control bureaucratic power and educational qualifications. Lifelong learning policies should be managed in terms of supply and demand at the learning market. In addition, the state has to strengthen lifelong learning through supporting NGOs' activities and adult learners' tuition fee for the disadvantaged group of people.

The analysis of the similarities and redundancies among R&D projects is important for the efficient investment of government budgets. When government R&D projects are planned, the redundancies of research tasks are examined by institutions specializing in research management, relevant offices and departments, and the government to prevent redundant funding. However, as existing similarity analyses depend on methods wherein new task proposals and existing R&D project proposals are compared and looked up based on keywords. This results in vulnerability wherein similarity cannot be accurately measured in the event of partial modifications of the task name or technical substitutions. This study aims to use patent information as characteristics by which R&D project documents can be identified. The patent data used is based on materials officially published by the government's R&D patent trend survey project (http://ipas.rndip.re.kr). The study aims to propose a method by which patent information can be used to analyze the similarity and redundancy among R&D projects when new projects are entered. For this purpose, a similarity measurement model based on set theory and probability theory is presented. The presented measurement model is implemented into an actual system to identify redundant documents, and calculate and show their similarity.

This study examines the concepts and policy factors regarding gender-mainstreaming strategies and urban areas that have been discussed in the fields of international norms and development cooperation from the perspective of the Mexican government. It analyzes how gender-mainstreaming strategy is integrated and realized through Mexican law and key programs carried out by Mexico City. Through a literature review, this study builds upon previous research and theoretical discussions. In fact, Mexican federal government is considered to have successfully achieved "gender institutionalization." Within the framework of the law and institutions, the programs promoted by Mexico City aim to realize women's rights and meet their needs in the metropolis, while emphasizing a wider participation by citizens to realize these urban rights. In particular, the government of Mexico City is expanding on policies and programs that focus on strengthening the financial autonomy of women by understanding women's vulnerabilities as inequalities arising in the areas of the economy, space, and time.

This study examines the types and characteristics of the policy instruments of Korea's higher education policies since the Lee Myung-bak administration. To this end, McDonnell and Elmore (1987)'s types of policy instruments were adopted and the higher education policy tasks announced by the Ministry of Education were classified by sector and type. As a result of the analysis, Korea's higher education policy showed a tendency to gradually shift from 'mandates' to 'inducements' and 'capacity building'. Despite this trend, however, in policy tasks such as university evaluation, the Lee Myung-bak, Park Geun-hye, and Moon Jae-in administrations all maintained policy instruments that combine 'mandates' and 'inducements'. Third, the 'system change' based on a market-oriented mechanism was used only in the Lee Myung-bak administration, and was not adopted in the higher education policies of the Park Geun-hye and Moon Jae-in administrations. In the field of global and industry-university cooperation at universities, it is encouraging that the Lee Myung-bak administration to the Moon Jae-in administration have steadily introduced policy instrument of 'capacity building', but in the fields of specialization and competitiveness enhancement, policies centered on 'mandates' and 'inducements' was using the policy instrument.

National balanced development and regional innovation have been one of the most important national agendas under the Participatory Government. National balanced development gives a central focus on realizing self-sustaining localization which is based on regional innovation. The core policy goal is to build competitive regional innovation system and innovative clusters in the regions of the country. In this vein, this paper aims to evaluate the present government's policies of regional innovation and innovative cluster. It needs to point out that the regional innovation and cluster policies show some critical problems. Firstly, the policy-making process is based on the top-down approach rather than the bottom-up one. Secondly, regional innovation policies, in many cases, expose the redundancy of similar policies and a lack of linkages between similar policies. Thirdly, the regional innovation policies are too much social infrastructure building-centered, even though the basic principle of regional innovation policy should be based on building superstructure such as networking and social capital.

The recent rapid evolution of the Internet and the increasing interest on the electronic commerce had been driven by the United States Federal Governments as strategic areas. The real meaning and effect of these technological evolution should be understood to find our right direction in current hard IMF environment wisely by analyzing the continual R&D efforts and policies of the US Federal Governments in the Information and Telecommunication areas. The typical R&D projects were the Supercomputer center program launched at 1985, HPCC program at 1992, NII project at 1993, and CIC R&D program at 1996 which were increasing in scale and budget. This paper will explain the overall key R&D efforts and policies of US Federal Governments in the industrial, science and technologies, and Information and Telecommunications areas as well as the background, concepts, and effect of 1996 Telecommunication Act as a deregulation efforts.

The purpose of this paper is to figures out the impact on the business performance based on the case studies about the establishment of automated smart factories supported by the government. In this study, the effectiveness of supporting business is verified by comparing supported company with non-supported ones using methods such as T-test and ANOVA. The PSM method was used to solve the selection bias issue between the experimental group and the controlled group. The research results have shown that the effect of the supporting business to the automated system was tenuous, and the amount of sales and research and development costs was increased after a certain schedule passed in case of the supporting project to the smart factory. There is some time lag to appear the effect of the government supporting businesses and the supporting business to the automated system leads to long term sales increase by increasing parameters like research and development costs rather than direct influence. Therefore, this research will be useful information for the process of establishing useful basic data and policies which helps to secure new budget Government Supporting Businesses and find ways improve the business.

According to the E-Government Readiness Index announced by UN in 2012, the Republic of Korea ranked top again following the last time. However, according to the national competitiveness index announced by IMD, that of the Republic of Korea has still ranked in the world's top 20 for three successive years. In particular, the area of government efficiency took the 25th place in 2012, descending three steps compared to that in 2011, and the area of infrastructure related to informatization has been ranking 20th for three years. This phenomenon can prove that the Republic of Korea's informatization is not producing good outcome, and the investment in informatization is not creating good effects. This phenomenon was analyzed in terms of a life cycle of informatization in this study. As the result, it was revealed that structural problems remain in each step, the linking of information in each step is insufficient, reasonable trace management is absent ,and information management depending on systematic plan is lacking. To solve these problems, improvement measures through architecture consideration were suggested.

기후변화의 영향으로 전세계적으로 이상 기후 및 자연재해가 증가하면서 재난을 효과적으로 관리하기 위한 법체계 및 제도에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 재난관리의 법과 제도적 측면에 대한 연구는 공학 및 기술적 연구에 비해 충분히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 특히 재난관리에 대해 많은 경험을 축적해온 선진국가의 재난관리체제에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 수준이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 영국의 재난관리체제를 법과 제도를 중심으로 분석하고 한국에 필요한 시사점을 도출한다. 영국의 재난관리 체제는 지방정부가 재난대응에 있어서 주도적인 역할을 수행하고 중앙정부는 대응 가이드라인을 제시하고 지원 및 조정업무를 수행하는 분산적 재난대응체제라 할 수 있다. 중앙정부에는 재해를 전담하는 조직이 별도로 구성되어 있지 않고 지방행정조직이 지역특정에 맞게 위기관리계획을 수립하고 집행한다. 지역별로는 지방정부, 기업, 시민단체로 구성된 민관협력체인 위기관리포럼을 형성하여 재난에 대처한다. 반면 한국의 재난대응체제는 중앙집권적이며 국민안전처가 재해전담조직으로서 역할을 하고 있으나 영국과 같은 민관협력체는 발달하지 않았다는 차이점을 발견할 수 있다. 영국과 한국의 재난관리체제를 비교해 볼 때 다음과 같은 법 제도적 개선방안을 제시할 수 있다. 첫째, 분산되어 있는 재난관리 기본법을 하나로 통폐합할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 지방정부의 재난대응권한을 강화해야 하며 특히 인력과 예산이 재난에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 수준으로 조정되어야 한다. 세째, 지방수준에서 재난대응 관련 기관들간 조정 및 협력을 할 수 있는 체제가 강화되어야 한다. 네째, 민간단체를 재난대응체제에 조직적으로 참여시킬 수 있도록 해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 주민단위의 방재조직이 공공부분과 효과적으로 협조할 수 있도록 할 수 있는 제도적 틀이 필요하다. 다섯째, 재난대응단계 설정에 있어 예방에 앞서 지역의 특성에 따라 예방업무를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있도록 진단하는 평가단계를 추가하는 것을 고려해야 한다.

The local governments have utilized overseas offices of businesses within their jurisdiction as a forward operating base to discover and expand the overseas market. In addition, overseas offices of businesses are expected to play a big role in economic, cultural, and personal exchange, and collection of information regarding overseas market trends. Recently, inviting foreign capital, promoting cities, and attracting foreign tourists are being done through them. Since foreign capital invitation has an effect on creating jobs, the population influx, increasing local government revenues, there is a high degree of competition for it among local governments. Also, while local governments have set out to actively attract foreign tourists through city promotion marketing and developing products in connection with their region, overseas offices of businesses are playing a major role in doing the job. However, due to low performance satisfaction against the budget invested, there have been criticisms that they need to improve efficiency. As a result, each local government is faced with a task to seek efficient operational plans since overseas offices of businesses in each local government are expected to play a bigger role in trade support and international exchanges.
