Background: Regional Cardiocerebrovascular Centers (RCC) were established for the prevention and treatment of cardiocerebrovascular disease and funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the measurement tool of public benefits in RCC. Methods: Through the intensive literature review, experts surveys and their repetitive feedback, we selected the 46 items about the public benefits in RCC. Development of measurement tool involved content validity test using Content Validity Index (CVI), construct validity test through factor analysis and reliability test. Results: Thirty-five items were selected by content validity test, which CVI was 0.08 or higher. Through the construct validity test, 32 items in 7 factors were derived. And Cronbach's alpha was 0.951. Finally, public benefits measurement tool is composed of 32 items in 7 factors which are comprehensiveness of health care services, market complement, emergency care, cost, governance, quality improvement, and government control. Conclusion: Though we developed the measurement tool of public benefits in RCC, it would be utilized to measure the public benefits of various health agencies.

This paper aims to examine the characteristics of social enterprises in Jinju City, Korea and to provide policy recommendations for promoting the competitiveness of local social enterprises. There are 11 social enterprises in Jinju City that are certified by central and local governments. The survey shows that the majority of social enterprises in Jinju City are based on the local community and their activities are public in nature, including supporting the self-reliance of local under-privileged class or contributing to local socio-economic development. However, it is also revealed that local social enterprises have a great deal of difficulty in making a profit. Particularly, they have much trouble with sales of their services and products, largely due to the vulnerability of marketing and financial ability. This means that the local social enterprises are not capable of being viable in a severe market competition. Thus I suggest some important policy recommendation for invigorating local social enterprises, including the reform of governance system, expansion of public purchase of the products made by local social enterprises, and the facilitation of inter-organizational networking among local social economy agents.

This study investigates the nature and patterns of interrelation between the emerging information and communication technology(ICT) and the organization of corporate space, both theoretically and empirically. In this work, ICT is conceptualized not so much a space-adjusting technology as an organizational technology. ICT is considered as a governance technology which is related to coordination function within a firm. Therefore, it is supposed to have a great relevance to the spatial reorganization of functions within a firm. Both questionnaire and case study method are used to gather necessary data from Korean electronics manufactures. The results of this study can be summarized as follow. First, the spatial structure of a firm, which is operationalised as the number and type of spatially separated establishments, is turned out to have a great explanatory power to its adoption of computer networks. Computer networks in muli-locational companies are introduced to overcome the limits of its spatial structure, such as duplication of functions, such as duplication of functions, loss of time spent in proceeding a job between different functional units, and unresponsiveness to the change of market demand. Second, new spatial division of labor and function could be possible through a series of business process reengineering, not through the mere adoption of ICT. Case studies reveal that computer network could help a firm to realize new forms of spatial division of labor, especially in those functions which is mainly based on the flow of information. Such function as ICT management, sales logistics and after-sales service are major parts where a new operational unit has appeared with the help of ICT. From above results, it can be concluded that the interrelations between ICT and organizational space should be approached intimately integrated with the change of industrial structure and it's organizational implications.

Depletion of fossil fuels and sharp rise of international oil price as well as climate worming and frequent environmental disasters have required to strengthen resource(esp. energy) and environmental policy and discourse. And hence highly influential discourses and policies such as the concept of sustainable development and strategy for carbon regulation have been developed and pursued world-widely. But these concept and strategy have seemed to be subsumed in the process of neoliberalism, so as to have little effective results. This leads us to energy transition and energy autonomy or autarky as alternative strategic and normative concepts. Daegu has shown strong interests in urban energy problems relatively earlier than other cities, and developed the so-call 'Solar City' project. But it could not properly tackled with the problems, while tending to meet with the global imperatives. This paper considers urban energy problems and energy policy of Daegu with its significance and limitations, and suggests 4 principles for urban energy transition and autonomy with some concrete alternative measures; that is, the transition from fossil and nuclear energy to renewable energy, the transition from supply-led policy to demand side focusing policy, the transition from central governing energy system to locally distributed one, and the transition from market-dependent management to citizen-participatory energy governance.

The main aim of this study is a meta-theoretical investigation to explain the current theoretical landscape of social innovation theories and researches. First of all, this paper makes a typology of social innovation based on concepts and sectors of social innovation. Second, in terms of societal innovation, which it is a kind of social innovation systematic approach, this paper draws some implications for social innovation policy. My key argument is that social innovation could be specified in three different sectors, public innovation, market innovation, and social economy innovation. However, all of them have attention to such as improving a quality of life and making society more sustainable, so it can be argued that those different sectors are structured on social innovation altogether with common goals. Finally, in order to activate the social innovation ecosystem, the government has to play a key role as a facilitator to make sustainable networks and a governance of social innovation that is needed to coordinate between different features and roles of social innovation sectors.

This paper investigates factors determining the level of nontraditional activities at banks around the world. Specifically, the paper examines what kinds of firm-specific and country-specific characteristics determine the level of noninterest income using a comprehensive multi-country database. This paper focuses beyond the traditional U.S. based analyses and provides detailed asset-liability management practices of banks around the world.The findings suggest that banks' size and loan loss provision, explicit deposit insurance, banking restriction, banking freedom ranking of respective countries, the extent of state and foreign ownership, governance, and transparency of the country have positive effects on the level of nontraditional activities. Greater dependence on traditional lending and financing, market based economy, and multiple bank supervisory bodies in the country have negative associations with noninterest income. The economic development of country however affects the extent of the relationship.

본 연구는 2016년부터 2017년까지 한국 정부가 선정한 다수의 도시재생사업 중 수변공간 관련 사업을 선별하여 세부내용을 살펴보고 수변공간 도시재생사업의 거버넌스 특성을 분석한다. 도시재생사업에서 거버넌스는 사업의 성패를 가르는 핵심 요소로 대두되고 있다. 특히, 협업을 통한 민간 커뮤니티의 역할과 주민참여는 더욱 중요한 비중을 갖게 되었다. 본 연구는 Tallon(2013)의 도시재생 거버넌스 네 가지 형태-관주도(top-down), 주민주도(bottom-up), 시장주도(market-led), 지주주도(property-led) 재생을 기준으로 도시재생사업 활성화계획의 세부내용을 분석한다. 향후 도시재생사업의 추진 및 시행단계에서 거버넌스의 역할이 제대로 작동할 수 있도록 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 연구의 공간적 범위를 수변공간을 한정하여 분석한 결과 총 20개의 도시재생사업이 도심 내 하천변과 해안가를 활용하여 추진되고 있었다. 구체적인 사업의 형태로는 (1) 생태하천복원, (2) 역사문화자원을 연계한 수변관광지 개발, (3) 수변네트워크 녹지 산책로 조성 (4) 항구 기반 수변도시개발 및 도심재생, (5) 섬의 이점을 활용한 수변경관사업, (6) 조선업 침체지역재생 등이 있었다. 한국의 수변공간 도시재생사업은 가장 일반적인 도시재생방식인 '관주도'로 진행되고 있었다. 그러나 지역의 권한과 역할을 강화하고자 하는 노력은 우선시되고 있었다. 또한, 관계부처 및 공공기관과의 파트너십 구축을 통한 도시재생사업의 효과성 향상을 도모하고 있었다. 특히, 부산시 영도구와 경상남도 통영시의 도시재생사업에서 협업의 노력이 두드러지게 나타났다. '마을만들기'와 같은 주민주도의 도시재생방식은 '주민참여협의체'를 통하여 일부 반영되고 있었다. 예를 들어, 서울시 도봉 노원구, 인천시 부평구, 경상남도 김해시, 부산시 영도구 등이 해당한다. 그러나 구체적인 실천 방안을 통한 주민주도 도시재생 거버넌스를 구축하는데는 부족함을 보였다. 더불어 민간투자를 유치하는 시장주도의 도시재생 접근은 찾아볼 수 없었다. 도시재생사업의 장기적이고 통합적인 특성을 고려했을 때, 안정적인 도시재생사업 추진을 위한 재원 마련에 대한 지속적인 노력이 요구된다.
