The multifarious array of benefits to the e-Government systems research, from evaluative frameworks and conceptual models to guidelines for initiatives, adoption, and assimilation, evidences the requirement, both from the researcher's and the practitioner's standpoint, of sound theoretical foundations that can be applied directly in practice. Grounded upon structuration theory, this paper proposes a framework for e-Government systems assimilation through the structuration of its organizational factors. Upon this proposition, we map the factors of e-Government systems assimilation with the organizational meta-structures of signification, domination and legitimization. The framework is then tested for the case of one particular e-Government systems of Korean government. The juxtaposition of the theoretical position and the practical findings leads us to isolate the organizational, technological, and inter-organizational factors that shape the meta-structures for the assimilation of e-Government systems. This framework offers interesting possibilities to researchers in exploring the relationships and insights into the complex interactions that shape the relationships among government, people and technology. Thus, the paper's contribution lies on three axes: first, the furthering of a theoretical perspective of e-Government systems assimilation; second, a detailed exposition of the structuration theory and an illustration of its application to the issues of e-Government systems assimilation in the organizational context; and finally, developed framework through the isolation of a usable set of theoretically grounded factors affecting e-Government systems assimilation that can be applied in future research and practice.

본 논문은 황우석 교수의 2005년 5월 배아줄기세포 연구성과 발표에 대한 인터넷상의 공론이 어떻게 이루어졌는지를 통해 일반 공중의 배아복제에 대한 이해를 연구한다. 인터넷 공론에 대한 분석은 일반화의 어려움은 있지만 질적 연구의 장점이 있다는 점을 분명히 하면서 사례연구를 하였다. 5월 20일 주요 신문은 연구성과의 세계적인 의의와 더불어 난치병 치료를 위한 연구로 자리매김을 만들었으며 윤리문제를 부각하는 데서 약간의 차이를 보였다. 그런 영향으로 인터넷상에서는 훨씬 더 분명한 형태로 환호하는 분위기를 보였다. 네이버 게시판은 연구성과에 대한 열광과 더불어 윤리문제제기를 비판하는 경향을 띠었고 연구의 정당성을 묻는 민주노동당에 대해서는 보다 애국주의적 국가주의적 근거에서, 가톨릭의 반대성명에 대해서는 배아는 생명이 아니며 낙태 등이 일상화된 현실적 근거에서 비판되었다.

The study uses agricultural knowledge system theory to explore how traditional knowledge applies to the linkage system of agricultural research and extension in rural Korea. By agricultural knowledge system we emphasize the dynamic networks of actors, processes of negotiation, and the diverse ways in which knowledge is constructed and performed. The knowledge systems reflect the idea that the boundaries between knowledge groups are not closed and that there could be considerable overlap between knowledge system. The results of this study are the following : First, we should know that some extension agents clearly value farmer knowledge and try to facilitate farmer-to-farmer communication. Extension plays a significant role in the knowledge-creation process and shaping communities because knowledge processes are embedded in social processes that involve aspects of power, authority, and legitimization. Third, the constructions of agricultural knowledge systems thus include social interactions, communication, and the diverse processes individuals employ create, use, and evaluate multiple types and sources of information through the linkage between agricultural colleges and Rural Development Administration (RDA), establishing the research institution of research and extension linkage, exchange research agent with extension agent, and bottom-up approach. Second, we should know that the focus of traditional knowledge development is rural community development as a community process. Nowadays the sessions of the Intergovernmental Committee of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) cover two lines of inquiry, which are the use of existing standards of intellectual property for the protection of traditional knowledge and that of new legal standards, eventually in the from of sui generis mechanisms of protection.

Interest on ocean environment has increased with the development of industrialized activities. Public marine resorces are defined broadly to include fish stocks, beaches, marine waters, recreational fishing, biota, waterfowls, shorebirds, seabirds and marine mammals But, it is not easy to analyze compensation for injury to publicly owned marine resources because the claimants do not exist clearly and the economic methodology of damage on public goods is not developed fully. This paper introduces basic idea of welfare economic theory and environmental legislation to the research question : How the economics and law can be applied to the case of damage on publicly owned marine resource. The paper discusses the concepts of willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA). It is accepted generally that WTA is correct concept of welfare change in the case of damaged public goods. Four methods (compensating variation, equivalent variation, compensating surplus, equivalent surplus of measuring welfare changes are compared. Compensating variation(CV) is the best measure of welfare changes are compared. Compensating variation(CV) is the best measure of welfare changes caused by environmental damage. Vartia (1983) showed CV could be measured from the ordinary demand function using the differential equations. This paper also provides an overview of the emerging U.S. and Korea legal system for compensation for natural resource damages, with particular emphasis on U.S. legal system under Comprehensive Environmen-tal Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). These regulations are to include two different types of standardized procedures for assessing natural resources injury : Type A or simplified assessment techniques for small releases ; and Type B protocols that would include detailed and extensive assessment methodologies for major releases. Type A procedures are specified by Natural Resources Damage Assessment Model for Coastal and Marine Environment (NRDAM/CME) of the U.S. CERCLA provides a legal 'legitimization for the use of economic-based nonmarket valuation in the courts and have introduced appropriate and accurate nonmarket valuation methods based on willingness to-pay for damage assessment. By briefly reviewing economic theory and environmental legislation, we hope to help provide a better understanding of the compensation process and the economics of publicly owned marine resources in the U.S. and to integrate the economics and law of natural resources valuation into a single comprehensive package in Korea.

The conjugating algae, an almost exclusively freshwater and extraordinarily diverse group of streptophyte green algae, are referred to a class generally known as the Conjugatophyceae in Central Europe and the Zygnematophyceae elsewhere in the world. Conjugatophyceae is widely considered to be a descriptive name and Zygnematophyceae ('Zygnemophyceae') a typified name. However, both are typified names and Conjugatophyceae Engler ('Conjugatae') is the earlier name. Additionally, Zygnemophyceae Round is currently an invalid name and is validated here as Zygnematophyceae Round ex Guiry. The names of orders, families and genera for conjugating green algae are reviewed. For many years these algae were included in the 'Conjugatae', initially used as the equivalent of an order. The earliest use of the name Zygnematales appears to be by the American phycologist Charles Edwin Bessey (1845-1915), and it was he who first formally redistributed all conjugating algae from the 'Conjugatae' to the orders Zygnematales and the Desmidiales. The family Closteriaceae Bessey, currently encompassing Closterium and Spinoclosterium, is illegitimate as it was superfluous when first proposed, and its legitimization is herein proposed by nomenclatural conservation to facilitate use of the name. The genus Debarya Wittrock, 1872 is shown to be illegitimate as it is a later homonym of Debarya Schulzer, 1866 (Ascomycota), and the substitute genus name Transeauina Guiry is proposed together with appropriate combinations for 13 species currently assigned to the genus Debarya Wittrock. The relationships between Mougeotia, Mougeotiopsis, Mougeotiella, and Transeauina require further resolution, as do many of the other genera referred to the Conjugatophyceae. Type species are designated for genera for which no types were formally selected previously. The number of currently described species of conjugating green algae in AlgaeBase is about 3,500, comprising about 10% of all algal species, with about one third of species referred to the Zygnematales and two-thirds to the Desmidiales. A corresponding 10% of all algal names at the species level and below have been applied to conjugating algae, although a large proportion of these are at the infraspecific level.

본 연구는 한국 주택정치에서의 '지리적 스케일의 사회적 정치적 구성(social and political construction of geographical scale)'을 분석하였다. 최근 미국 및 유럽에서 도시지리학을 포함한 인문지리학 분야에서 관심을 끌고 있는 주제 중 하나는 '지리적 스케일의 사회적 정치적 구성(또는 생산)'이다. 이에 관한 논의의 출발점은 바로 공간적 스케일은 존재론적으로 미리 주어지거나 고정되어 있다기 보다는 사회적으로 구성되며, 정치적인 경쟁의 대상물이 될 수 있다는 인식이다. 'tm케일의 정치(politics of scale)' 또는 '지리적(공간적) 스케일의 사회적 정치적 구성(생산)'에 관한 기존의 연구들은 사회운동(social movement)에서 서로 다른 공간적 스케일이 어떻게 활용되었으며 접목되었는지에 연구의 초점을 두었다. '스케일의 정치' 관련 논문들은 사회운동에서의 스케일의 역할을 '스케일 상승(up-scaling)' 또는 '정치적 행동의 스케일(scales of activism)' 위주로 논의하였다. 반면에 풀뿌리 시민사회운동에서의 스케일의 역할 연구라는 특성으로 인해 '스케일 하강(down-scaling)' 또는 '규제의 스케일(scales of regulation)' 논의는 미약하다. 한편, '스케일의 정치' 논의는 스케일의 이용을 통한 소수정치세력 및 사회소외층의 정치적 사회적 '임파워먼트(empowerment)' 과정에 연구의 초점을 두었다. 하지만, 기존의 '스케일의 정치'와 관련해서 어떻게 스케일이(특히 '스케일 하강'이) 무특권 사회집단을 소외하고 배제시키는지에 사용될 수 있는지, 그리고 공간의 생산 및 재생산을 조절할 수 있는지에 대한 연구는 미비하다. 한국 정부는 주택시장 관리 체제 및 제도 하에서 '스케일 도약(jumping scales)' 구체적으로 '스케일 하강'을 통해 여러 지리적 스케일에서의 주택 공간 생산 및 재생산에 대한 헤게모니를 가지게 되었다. 한국 정부는 주택 개발에 대한 다스케일적(multiscalar) 정책을 사용함과 동시에 중앙 정부, 지방 자치단체, 정부 산하 주택 관련 기관, 그리고 한국 다국적 기업(재벌) 간의 다양한 스케일에서의 제도적 네트워킹을 통해 '스케일 도약' 능력을 점점 더 획득하게 되었다. 전통적으로 지리적 스케일은 분석의 공간 단위 또는 범주로 인식되어 왔다. 하지만, 지리적 스케일은 사회적 내포(social inclusion), 사회적 배제(social exclusion), 정당화(legitimation)의 수단이 될 수 있다. 사회적으로 그리고 정치적으로 연대할 또는 배제할 기관 또는 조직을 선택하는 것 자체가 조직 네트워킹시의 공간적 스케일의 선택과 범위의 결정을 수반하며, 이는 '정치의 스케일 공간성(scale spatiality politics)'과 밀접히 연관되어 있다. 다양한 형태의 '규제의 스케일'을 전개해 온 한국 정부는 정부의 주택 개발 논리의 정당화를 위해 재벌, 고소득층, 중산층을 의사결정 과정에 포함시켰으나, 국지적 스케일에서의 서민 조직들과 사회소외계층을 의사결정 과정으로부터 제외시켰다.
