The objectives of this study were 1) to explore the change features of rural development policy system, and 2) to get some policy counter measures for construction of desirable rural development policy system. First, the change features of rural development policy system are 1) to expand the rural development organization of local government, 2) to strengthen the finance basis for rural development policy, 3) to attempt building the cooperation network between the various local groups. And the policy counter measures derived from this study are 1) to convert the rural development policy system to that of local leading system, 2) to expand the actual rural inhabitant participation in policy making & performance process, 3) to prepare the effective governance system in local level.

Korea 5MBA(Small and Medium Business Administration) is operating SMEs Policy Information System called SPi-1357 as a part of electronic government business, G4B. SPi-1357 system is offering tailor made policy information to a nation through on-off line system. In this paper, I provide the offering status of policy information, the status of SPi-1357 system, political results of SPi-1357 system, comparison with other country's policy information system, and the development direction of SPi-1357 system. Until now, most Policy Information Systems documents have focused on policy maker but the focus of this paper is functionally oriented SMEs.

An inspection-maintenance policy is investigated for a system having various states. A policy is characterized by the type of maintenance and the next inspection time. Maintenance actions are classified into various types according to the depth of maintenance. Policy evaluation criterion is the expected cost accumulated up to the failure of the system. The problem is formulated as a Markov decision process and an optimal policy is found by using a policy improvement procedure. A numerical example illustrates the policy for a system having five states.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the school autonomy policy based on the system thinking perspective using causal loop diagrams. School autonomy was the main educational policy concerning school domain during the last government and was the instrument for school-based management, but it was not implemented effectively in site. The school autonomy policy practically disappeared as an explicit policy agenda in the current government. This study displays causal loop diagrams about the policy's logic and contents of school autonomy, in terms of curriculum, human resource management, and a supportive system. The causal loop diagrams depicting the implementation of the school autonomy policy are suggested concerning excessive enforcement and the confirmative mechanism for policy implementation. The conclusion provides some research implications and future directions.

This paper deals with how system dynamics can be used as a methodology for policy critics. First of all, I discuess conditions that is required as a methodoogy of policy critics. A methodology for policy critics should be ease to be uderstood by lay people. It can be produced within limited time and have high relevancy to the policy reality. By reviewing some examples and literatures, I propose that system dynamics can meet these requirements and thus can be a promising tool for policy critics.

This paper deals with the policy failure in housing markets. In order to understand basic mechanism leading to policy failure, systems thinking and system dynamics modeling is applied to housing markets and housing policy. This paper will show different set of causal maps on housing policy, and compare causal reasons of housing policy and its critics.

This article advocates for a Mode 3 science policy. Compared to the university research-based Mode 1 knowledge production system and the knowledge application-centric Mode 2 innovation system, Mode 3 can be defined as a system that integrates both Mode 1 and Mode 2-type knowledge production models. In this article, based on the major characteristics of the Mode 3 scientific knowledge production system, I agree with the advocates of Mode 3 that constructing a knowledge society requires an inclusive form of knowledge production and innovation system through the democratization of knowledge production as well as the promotion of social values. Moreover, the mechanisms for creating accountable innovation in the Mode 3 system should be given more attention from the science research and policy communities to make public policy for scientific and technological innovation more reflective of social changes. Similar to the ways that the Mode 1 and Mode 2 scientific knowledge production approaches have influenced the development of science policy models, the Mode 3 scientific knowledge production approach, or Mode 3 science, also has the potential to shape a new science policy model. I will refer to this as Mode 3 science policy. In an effort to conceptualize the democracy- and society-centric Mode 3 science policy model, I will articulate science policy strategies in four science policy domains in South Korea from the context of the Mode 3 science approach. These include (1) evaluation of publicly-funded research activities, (2) valorization of scientific knowledge (that is, enhancement of the value of scientific knowledge through governmental action), (3) development of a science policy decision-making support system, and (4) anticipatory foresight of science, technology and society. When adopting and implementing a Mode 3 science framework, one progressive change is to increase socially desirable innovation such as responsible innovation.

As for M/G/1 queueing system, we use various control policies, with which we can optimize the system. Up to now the most widely adopted policies are N-Policy, T-Policy, D-Policy, and so on. The existing researches are largely concerned to find an optimal operation condition or to optimize the system under single policy in M/G/1 system. There are, however, few literatures dealing with multiple control policies at once to enhance the flexibility of the model. In this study, we consider M/G/1 system adopting N-Policy and T-Policy simultaneously. If one of two conditions is satisfied, then, the server starts the service. We call this Min(N,T)-Policy. We find the probability distribution of the number of customers and mean waiting time in steady state and derive a cost function. Next, we seek the $N^*$, optimal threshold under various N values. Finally, we reveal the characteristics of cost function.

The COVID-19 is a pandemic that affects all facets of our life and will change many patterns in science technology and innovation. A qualitative study was conducted using Focus Group Interview involving ten industry-academia-research experts with the objective of identifying changes in Korea's national innovation system and science & technology policy after the COVID-19. Eight questions were designed, based on the major components of the national innovation system, such as companies, universities, and research institutes, to discuss the changes in the national innovation system and science & technology policy. Also, keyword analysis and cluster analysis were performed using the network analysis program VOSviewer. It is predicted that, in the wake of the COVID-19, Korea's national innovation system will shift to a new paradigm that is more decentralized, responsive, and autonomous. Furthermore, several policy agendas that can turn these changes into positive momentum of change in science & technology policy are presented.

As the catch-up innovation system was exposed to a new competition environment in which second-tier catch-up countries reduced the gap with Korea and advanced Korean firms entered into the frontier product market, it is experiencing system delay in terms of organizational and policy change. Therefore, innovation policy needs to be reorganized from a dynamic perspective to analyze the problems in the transition period and enable the system to overcome organizational and institutional delays. This article investigates the characteristics of transition periods in terms of external environment changes and internal socio-economic pressures. Based on the analysis of environment changes and catch-up system characteristics, it suggests the framework for policy intervention, direction, and practical principles for post catch-up innovation policy. In particular, it suggests the network-based developmental state and policy implementation in order to overcome the limitation of centralized developmental state of catch-up periods.
