Backgrounds : To reduce the patients' economic burden of herbal decoctions use, in 2012, Korean government decided to implement the pilot project of herbal decoctions coverage in the National Health Insurance. Objectives : This study aimed to analyze the policy decision-making process for the pilot insurance project in 2012. Methods : Official documents, research papers, statistical reports, and news articles, etc. on the coverage of herbal decoctions were searched and collected. We used the Kingdon's Policy Stream Model to analyze how the policy of pilot project of herbal decoctions coverage was decided, and who were the main activists for the decision-making process. Results : Components to be included in the 'Problem stream' were the decline in the profits of Korean Medicine institutions, the contraction of the herbal decoctions use, and the fiscal surplus of National Health Insurance. In the 'Policy stream', there were several model studies for herbal decoctions coverage, and examples of herbal benefits in other social insurances. In the 'Political stream', there were the legislative initiatives by member of the National Assembly and the promotion of insurance coverage by the Association of Korean Medicine(AKOM), etc. Policy window for herbal decoctions coverage was opened by the combination of these three streams with the efforts of policy activists, such as the executives of AKOM, and policy researchers. Conclusions : The policy decision process for health insurance coverage of herbal decoctions was analyzed using Kingdon's model, and the analysis shows that the combination of political streams and entrepreneurs' competencies can be an important driving force in policy decision making.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to introduce the establishment process and results of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's road map on environmental health policy. Methods: The process consisted of expert group meetings, civic participation, research, and questionnaire survey for priority environmental health policy agenda items in Seoul. Results: The announced vision for the environmental health policy was "a healthy environment, safety in Seoul". This policy was established in order to define environment health policy initiatives for a period of five years with an aim to protect Seoul citizens' health from hazardous environmental factors. The resulting Seoul environmental health policy consisted of four areas and 16 key agenda items. The four areas were "Protection for children against hazardous materials", "Enhancement of health and safety of all", "Carcinogen-free and endocrine-disrupting chemical-free Seoul (reducing environmental exposure to hazardous materials), and "Establish the foundation of environmental health policy". Sixteen key agenda items include the enhancement of management of spaces for children, certification of environmental health status at schools, establishment of a unit responsible for the environmental health of children, strengthening environmental health management for susceptible populations (children, the aged, and the socioeconomically vulnerable), management of hazardous materials, physical hazardous factors (noise, radiation, etc.), indoor air quality, and the enhancement of monitoring, research, and regulation of environment health. Conclusion: The Seoul Metropolitan Government established an environmental health policy road map for a five-year period (2013-2017). To implement this environmental health policy, budget allocation, and detailed execution plans are required.

2009년 7월부터 도입된 양육수당은 보육시설을 이용하지 않고 가정 내에서 양육되는 아동에 대한 형평성 차원에서 양육수당이 제공되는 것으로 보육시설을 이용하지 않는 국민기초생활수급자와 차상위 계층 2세 미만 영아에 대해 월 10만 원을 아동양육수당으로 제공하면서 시작되었다. 그러나 2013년에는 소득에 관계없이 만 0~2세의 아동을 대상으로 만 0세 20만 원, 만 1세 15만 원, 만 2~5세 10만 원의 지원금을 제공하기로 개정되었다. 2013년의 이러한 정책변화는 전년도인 2012년의 양육수당 정책과 비교해 볼 때, 760%의 재정 증액이 이루어진 것으로 그 지원의 확대 정도가 이례적으로 매우 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 양육수당의 급격한 확대에 주목하며 양육수당 정책형성과정에 대한 정책네트워크 분석을 시도하였다. 분석 결과, 지방선거, 총선 및 대선이 정책형성 과정 행위자들의 상호작용 및 네트워크 구조 등에 즉각적인 영향을 주었는데, 즉 정당 행위자들은 양육수당의 확대가 정당 행위자들의 이익(선거결과)에 직접적인 영향을 준다고 판단하고 있었다. 이러한 정책경쟁 과정에서 정부부처들과의 예산과 관련된 갈등은 오히려 논의를 다양화시켜 양육수당 논의는 활성화 되었다. 또한 총선 이후 새누리당의 공약에서 시작된 양육수당의 확대는 비슷한 복지 공약 등을 내세운 박근혜 후보가 대통령에 당선되면서 구체적으로 정책채택 단계로 접어들어 정책형성과정과 정책채택과의 밀접한 관계도 확인하였다.

Health policy is a historical product in the process of development, including the political and economic factors of the state as well as the social and cultural elements of the country. Bioethics began to debate the ethical questions that arise in the overall process of life's birth and death, and gradually evolved by presenting ethical directions for various social phenomena. Especially, according to the moral awakening of 'scientific medicine' which caused in some human problems in the rapidized scientific society from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, as a result of distress including the concept of various social relations, it is possible to say that it has reached the bioethics. Although health policy and bioethics are different in terms of starting and concept, they can be found in common with social, cultural, and political diversity in the times. In 2004, 'Bioethics Law' was enacted through the issue of research ethics in the life sciences. Therefore, in order to examine ethical aspects of current health policy direction and major issues, it can be divided into before and after enactment of 'Bioethics Law' in 2004. The authors would like to examine how the evolution of the ethical viewpoint on the health policy has changed in line with the enactment of the 'Bioethics Law' and how it is trying to solve it from an ethical point of view. Through the various events that took place in the 1990s and the 2000s, various discussions on bioethics were conducted in Korea. Prior to the enactment of the 'Bioethics Law,' ethical judgments of professions, distribution of healthcare resources, if the discussion focused on the ethical judgment of abortion, and the various events that appeared in the early 2000s became the beginning to inform that the ethical debate about the life, death, and dignity of human beings began in earnest in Korea with the enactment of the 'Bioethics Law.' Since then, 'Hospice and Palliative care Law' which was enacted in 2017, is based on the fact that the health policy of our country focuses on the treatment of the past diseases, health promotion, and delivery of health care services. It was an opportunity to let them know that even the quality problems were included. Therefore, considering the various circumstances, the ethical issue facing Korea's health care system in the future is the change of the demographic structure due to aging and what is to be considered as the beginning and the process of life in the overall process of life. It is the worry about how to die and when it sees as death. This has far exceeded the paradigm of traditional health care policies such as disease prevention and management and health promotion, and calls for innovative policy response at the national level that reflects the new paradigm, which in many cases creates a predictable ethical environment. And health policy should be shifted in the direction of future ethical review considering sustainability in the development process of future health care rather than coercive management.

Since ancient times, ginseng has been cultivated in Korea, and related cultures are also rich. However, the domestic ginseng industry is currently facing many crises. As a source of ginseng, Korea needs to come up with a strategy to cope with the crisis of the ginseng industry and implement it efficiently and effectively using limited resources. This study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze the priority of policies so that ginseng policies can be effectively implemented. The survey was conducted by dividing into two groups of experts, 'policy managers' and 'field experts'. As a result of the study, policy managers seem to believe that the consumption of ginseng is important for the development of the ginseng industry. On the other hand, the field expert group believes that the government should take the initiative to increase the supply capacity of the ginseng industry. Through this study, it will be possible to help in determining the importance of policy, recognizing that the viewpoints of policy can be different for the ginseng industry to develop.

Purpose: The object of this study is to identify the reason why school health education act had not been enforced properly, and to find out implications for improving. Methods: The implementation process of school health education act was described and the imperatives of the process were analysed. M. Rein's Policy Implementation Model was used as an analysis framework. The sources of this study was based on the minutes of parliament, government reports, materials for the meetings of policy makers, the press, etc. Results: The school health education act clarified mandatory and systemic health education in it, but it did not clearly mentioned about 'the introduction of compulsory health education subject'. The bureaucrats of National Educational Ministry who are responsible for policy implementation, did not behave in a friendly manner toward the school health education act. What is more, the ways of mandatory and systemic school health education could not be discussed reasonably in the implementation process. Through this study it was found that the rational-bureaucratic imperative played the main role in the implementation process of school health education act due to the limitation of the legal imperative and the consensual imperative. Conclusion: The result of this study suggests the strong need to make up for the defect of the two imperatives, and to reform the rational-bureaucratic imperative.

이 논문은 노인교육에 대한 정부의 정책지원이 이루어진 시점부터 현재까지, 그 전개과정과 특징을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이는 기존 노인교육정책 관련 연구들이 현재의 정책현황에 대한 상황기술과 이를 바탕으로 한 향후제언 성격의 담론 논의에 중심을 둠에 따라, 현재의 모습으로 발현되기까지의 정책과정에 대한 분석이 소홀히 다루어진 것에 대한 문제의식에서 출발한다. 연구자는 '한국노인교육정책은 어떻게 진행되었는가'라는 질문을 제기하며, 관련 문서에 기초하여 정책의 전개 과정과 특징을 찾는데 주목하였다. 분석을 통해 노인교육에 대한 정책지원은 1970년대 후반 새마을운동의 대중화를 위한 국민교육의 일환으로 시작·강화되었고, 현재에는 노인 인적자원양성을 위한 정책 지원으로 이어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 과정에서 시기에 따라 정부의 정책지원은 그 목표와 대상, 그리고 지원체계가 변화되는 특징을 보인다. 또한 1990년대 후반 다각적으로 수립된 노인교육정책들은 대부분 집행으로 이어지지 못하고, 정책 수립과 집행 사이의 상당한 불일치를 보여주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Korean government adopted the integrated stream water management policy recently with growing perception that natural disasters and pollution in Korea have been due not only to such human factors as urbanization and industrialization, but also to the policy of functionally separated management of irrigation, flood control and ecological management. Contrary to its good intention, research result shows that it is not realistic to expect that this new integrated policy in Korea will work well. In order to be an effective policy and program evaluation, this paper suggests that evaluation indicator on related programs and projects should be made through bottom-up process. For example, environmental benefit should be taken into account rather than just economic benefit, and cultural and social characteristics in the project region should be also considered seriously.

인터넷정보는 네티즌들의 정책과정참여와 정부신뢰에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 추론되며, 그 영향은 인터넷정보의 질을 높게 인식할수록 클 것이다. 이를 실증적으로 규명하기 위해 인터넷정보의 질을 구성하는 요소를 파악하고, 인터넷정보의 질에 대한 네티즌의 인식이 정책과정참여와 정부신뢰에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 전국의 20-30대 네티즌을 대상으로 2010년 11월 20일부터 2010년 11월 30일까지 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 회수된 300부 중 불성실 응답을 제거하고 연구대상으로 적절하지 않은 자료를 제외한 266부의 데이터를 토대로 분석하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 인터넷정보의 질에 대한 긍정적 인식은 온라인 정책과정참여를 증가시키는 반면에 오프라인 정책과정참여를 약하게 감소시킨다. 둘째, 온라인 정책과정 참여는 오프라인 정책과정참여를 활성화시키고 있다. 셋째, 오프라인 정책과정참여는 정부신뢰에 부정적인 영향을 강하게 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면에 온라인 정책과정참여의 정부신뢰에 대한 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 인터넷정보의 질이 향상되면, 오프라인 정책과정참여는 조금 약화되는 반면에 온라인 정책과정참여는 상당히 활성화될 것임을 의미한다. 이어서 온라인 정책과정참여는 오프라인 정책과정참여를 대폭 증가시킴으로써 정부신뢰를 크게 약화시킬 개연성이 있음을 의미한다.
