Ethics suggest that all persons are by nature moral, as it would not be possible for humans to exist collectively or even individually without an innate ethical sense. In order for the public sector to thrive in business, the board of directors needs to be guided by ethics and take into account the abiding interests of humanity and public good. It is argued in this paper that the abuse of power in the public sector has often been associated with unethical leadership and conducts which undermines the ubuntu notion. The irregularities which often arise in the awarding of tenders in the state-owned companies are some of the challenges that are prone to the public sector. In order to address these challenges and promote a flourishing democracy it is argued that ethical leadership as envisaged in the King III Report needs to be adhered to by the boards of directors. This paper concludes that the direction and control of ethics in any organisation is vital especially where the line between corporate governance and ethical leadership has become blurred.

Public acceptance is a major issue that will determine the future of nuclear energy. In this article, we review relevant studies and identify several common patterns of nuclear public acceptance. Based on these patterns and four categories of factors, we propose hypotheses on the impact of different socioeconomic factors on the public opinion of nuclear energy. These factors were demographic and social influences, politico-economic, energy conditions, and nuclear accidents and natural risks. We tested these hypotheses using a data set including survey results on public opinion of nuclear energy in 59 countries from 1987 to 2014. Results of the regression analysis generally verified the proposed hypotheses, especially regarding the positive impact of education or geological suitability and the negative effect of improved living standards and democracy on nuclear acceptance. We propose policy recommendations, including a better focus on education and communication and a thorough consideration of the social and geological conditions a country needs to make before deciding to go nuclear. Potential weaknesses of this study are also discussed, including the possible causal relation between independent variables and the binary nature of the dependent variable.

The study covers three components of the facility for protecting public utilities market participants in the public utilities market: prevention of potential poverty, reduction of existing poverty and compensation to the injured party in a case of tort that exacerbates or threatens to exacerbate its poverty. The analysis is based on official statistical information on the activities of the public utilities sector. Operational information of public utility service providers regarding certain indicators of their activity in the work was not studied. This approach narrows the empirical basis of the study, but at the present stage in the context of different rates of implementation of changes in regions, sectors and at the level of individual entities, as well as lack of uniformity in the structure of indicators published by service providers, analysis allows to identify «bottlenecks» of legal regulation, which are systemic in nature and largely independent of the subjective factor.

To achieve carbon neutrality and restore the national environment, there is growing interest in policies to transform national land areas into green space, such as expanding nature-based solutions, increasing biodiversity, and improving ecosystem service functions. In addition to complying with international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity, it is necessary to expand green spaces to achieve the 2050 Carbon Neutrality goal, which can be achieved by restoring the damaged land in an ecological way. However, it is challenging to implement green restoration in a systematic and active way due to conflicts of interest among landowners and lack of institutional support and advanced technology. Therefore, this study aims to develop a strategy to expand green restoration and implement it smoothly and systematically. This study examined the current status of green restoration in South Korea by investigating green restoration laws and systems and overseas trends, and by surveying the perceptions of 1,000 people selected from a pool of the public. The results of this study show that it is difficult to implement the green restoration efficiently because the laws related to restoration are scattered. According to the relevant legal plans, the perception and direction of restoration is to pursue a sustainable national land environment, allow people to benefit from nature, improve the quality of life, and nurture related industries and human resources. In the international community, it is mentioned that green restoration contributes to achieving the 2050 Carbon Neutrality goal, revitalizing green industries, developing and applying advanced technologies, maintaining consistency in restoration-related policies, expanding citizens' access to green spaces, and adopting nature-based solutions. Both experts and the public are aware of the seriousness of the damage to the natural environment and prefer restoration with human use rather than focusing on natural recovery. It is expected that this study will contribute to the future direction of green restoration and the implementation of tasks for the sustainable restoration of the national land environment and the zero-carbon era.

The development of an appropriate public service quality model has become increasingly recognised as an important subject of interest in the public sector as well as academia. In particular, the public systems enacted by governments are widely used and have a significant impact on national competitiveness. But few researches have been conducted to explore the quality dimensions of a public system service and empirically examine the relationship among related variables. Therefore, in this study, we strive to develop a quality measurement model of public system service that can be effectively used in practice. Using 601 samples gathered through a structured survey from project engineers, a conceptual quality model of public system is presented and discussed. Given the exploratory nature of this study, an exploratory factor analysis is used to investigate quality dimensions and partial least square (PLS) is employed in determining the structural relationships. From empirical results, we found that the quality dimensions of the public system had four distinct quality dimensions (design quality, environment quality, primary outcome quality, additive outcome quality). All four quality dimensions showed good representative factors in explaining user satisfaction. Perceived trust was proved to significantly mediate the relationship between quality dimensions and user satisfaction. Our research is expected to contribute to the literature by providing a good conceptual framework for assessing public system quality by linking four quality dimensions with user satisfaction. In particular, the developed model can elaborately measure process quality and multi-functional outcome quality of the system by the supplementation of design quality and additive outcome quality respectively. Practical implications are also suggested on the basis of our analysis.

본 계획은 중심행정타운의 마스터플랜으로 새로운 도시환경을 설정함으로서 도시조직의 형성에 있어 환경적이고 민주적인 원리를 나타내고자 하였다. 이러한 목표를 위해 'Flat city, Link City, Zero City'의 개념을 도입하였다. 이는 경관생태학의 관점에서 나타나는 공간구조의 배열, 연결 그리고 물질순환과 흐름을 나타낸다. 'Flat City'는 iconic plane으로 나타나는 정부청사의 형태로 공공을 위한 공원으로 확장되며 접근의 용이성과 함께 자연 속에서 모두에게 열려있다. 'Link City'는 보다 효율적인 기능과 소통을 위한 전략으로 연결된다. 정부기관과 공원, 녹지공간, 문화시설, 상업과 주거지역들이 상호연결의 네트워크를 만들어낸다. 'Zero City'는 도시기반시스템을 통합하여 쓰레기재활용, 오염저감 그리고 도시기초기능을 공급함과 동시에 새로운 야생서식처를 창조하여 도시의 이웃을 만든다. 이 제안은 건축, 도시, 조경에 의해 역사, 지역, 자연의 경험을 하나로 결합한 계획이다.

Foundation Beyeler museum located near Basel, Switzerland is one of the most-visited art museum of the world. Although the entire volume of the museum is not huge, its art collection as well as the well-known museum building designed by Renzo Piano deserve to attract many visitors. The initial design was started in 1991 when the city of Basel decided to fund and support the project. Through a couple of design stages, the museum was finally opened to public in 1997. There have been various research papers dealt with general design issues of Beyeler museum such as composition of exhibition spaces, and natural lighting. However, this paper aims to study the design methods and relationship between art, architecture and nature. Although the museum building is located on the site quietly, there are various specific design solutions to create unique spatial experience of art and nature at each parts. This study focuses on 4 parts of the museum that are located on the main circulation. How art, architecture and nature are integrated together is the main target of the analysis. The analysis is based on visual-perceptual experience and spatial configuration. In chapter 2, general background of the project was studied. In chapter 3, characteristics of the site's natural environment and Piano's design concept's were examined. In chapter 4, each parts were analyzed in detail with diagrams. In chapter 5 & 6, the spatial characteristics were compared together and the fundamental role of the museum architecture was concluded.

본 연구는 현대 도시 공공공간의 특성에 관하여 역공간 관점의 해석을 시도한다. 새로운 유형의 공공공간의 양상은 기존 공공영역과 공공성에 관한 문화정치적 담론, 공적영역과 사적영역의 혼재에 따른 도시문화적 담론 등의 해석으로만 조망하기 어려울 정도로 다양하고 복합적이다. 현대 공공공간의 다층적이고 유연한 성격을 포착하는 데는 역공간의 개념이 유용하리라는 것은 본 연구의 가설이다. 역공간이란 그 속성상 이곳과 저곳에 속하지 않은 상태를 기본조건으로 삼고 있고, 제의 과정을 경험하면서 시간적인 전개를 기저에 깔고 있다. 이러한 속성은 기존 공공공간에 관한 새로운 시각을 제시한다. 첫째, 공공공간과 사적공간, 반공공공간과 반사적공간 등으로 구분되는 층위적 개념에서 보다 연속적 속성을 부각하는데 유용하며, 둘째, 공적영역과 사적영역이 장소에 기반을 둔 고정적인 상태가 아닌 시간에 따라 변화가 가능한 속성이라는 점을 강조한다. 이러한 이론적 기획을 바탕으로 도시 공공공간의 몇 가지 사례와 그 특성을 살펴본다. 사례를 통하여 확인할 수 있는 것은 현대도시 공공공간의 혼성적 특성이 도시 공간에 활력을 주는 데에 기여한다는 것이다. 역공간 관점의 해석은 공공공간의 지평 확장과 재인식에 기여한다. 첫째, 공공공간의 지형도는 끊임없이 진화한다. 관리 주체나 소유의 관점에서 공공공간은 명확한 경계를 지니지만 혼재성의 관점에서 실제로 인식되고 활용되는 공공공간의 범위는 확장된다. 둘째, 같은 맥락에서 공적공간의 활성화는 사적인 공간과의 관계를 원활하게 접속할 때 활성화할 수 있다. 그러므로 공적영역과 사적영역을 긴밀하게 결합하는 세심한 전략과 고려가 필요하다. 셋째, 역공간으로 본 공공공간은 그 영역과 범위가 다양하게 변동 가능하다는 점이 강조된다. 이 연구의 실천적인 함의는 역공간적 속성을 고려한 공공공간의 도시 설계와 이를 수용하는 유연한 도시 관리가 요구된다는 점이다.
