Abstract

참여정부는 국가균형발전을 이루는 주요한 정책적 수단으로 지역혁신체계의 구축을 제시했다. 이러한 국가균형발전전략의 제도화 과정은 이론적으로 지역혁신체계 접근방법과 연결되어 있으나 이전 제도적 배열(발전국가 등)의 영향으로 실질적인 제도적 전환을 이루지 못했다. 또한 국가균형발전전략의 제도화 과정은 시민참여의 부재, 광역자치단체의 권능 강화, 수도권 대 지방의 대립양상, 재원확보 부족 등의 문제들을 내포함으로써 새로 형성된 제도의 실효성 측면에서도 한계를 보였다.

Abstract

In Korea, the very rapidly economic industrialization resulted in a mono-polarized spatial structure of the Capital Region, that is, Seoul Metropolitan Area and the divergence of regional disparities. The socio-economic dominance of Seoul Metropolitan Area in the last few decades accelerated the depression of other areas. As a result, the Seoul Metropolitan area has become a sort of national black hole. The Participatory Government has pushed decentralization and “balanced national development” as the core policy tasks since 2003. However, as some mitigation of regulations at Seoul Metropolitan area by this government, decentralization policy had got confused, and started contradicting itself. This paper aims to suggest on Seoul Metropolitan area policy for promoting mutual concern with other areas in Korea and balanced national development. The conclusion is as follow: The Seoul Metropolitan area should shift its focus from quantitative expansion to qualitative development and it should promote mutual development with other areas rather than racing ahead as a sole axis for development as was the case in the past. So the current framework of regulations for the area should be maintained, and exceptional mitigation of regulations should be selectively limited on parts for national competitiveness enhancement. it is important that a policy to stabilize the area’s population. The move of administrative agencies and government bodies out of the Seoul Metropolitan area should be pushed forward. On the top of the strong population stabilization policy, local authorities should plan and promote various businesses to make the area a better place to live in. This approach will make the mutual development with other parts of Korea through cooperation and facilitate the area’s growth as a world-class city.

Abstract

In Korea, alongside fast economic growth has come a new challenge: increasing income and regional disparity(inequality). Using KLIP(Korean Labor and Income Panel) data, this paper examines trends in income and regional-8 provinces(Do)- disparity during 1998-2004. Further this paper investigates the reasons behind the increasing regional inequality with respect to income source(finance asset, real estate and public subsidies). Regional inequalities are very different by income sources and year by year. This result implies that in order to reduce both income and regional inequalities, traditional policies had some effect nationally, but could not have a substantial effect on the reduction of income disparity, because the effect could be varied regionally.

Abstract

This paper contributes to promote practical and theoretical interests in environmental justice and to place it to the center of environmental education. The developmental process of modern capitalism has brought about environmental inequalities, and in particular the neoliberal globalization process operating on the basis of market mechanism tends to have accelerated them. Thus, this paper suggests that the logic of market which has generated and deepened environmental inequalities should be replaced with the ethics of environmental justice. The ethics of environmental justice has emerged from practical movements of peoples of diverse classes and ethnic groups who have suffered from environmental inequalities. As the concerns on environmental justice have increased, there have been both various empirical researches on environmental inequalities and theoretical considerations to conceptualize environmental justice under several kinds of philosophical and social theoretical traditions(e.g. liberalism, utilitarianism, Marxism, postmodernism, etc.). What is more, such increasing concerns with environmental justice has been reflected on education for environmental justice. Environmental justice education, unlike traditional environmental education, gives the main focus to environmental inequalities between classes, ethnic groups and regions and tries to construct ecological communities in which humans and other members of ecology can share their environments and hence co-evolve each other.

Abstract

Three models of access to social rights including right to housing can be detected in debates about citizenship. The market efficiency model, stressing the classic liberal claims of individual freedom and state restraint in the form of a celebration of the market, has swept across the world like a vast tidal wave of neoliberalist welfare reforms. But Korean Housing Policy has continued middle and upper class-oriented presale apartment housing supply, and housing welfare policy in Korea is launching stage. This paper evaluates level of housing welfare services of local governments and suggests that policymakers and social theories has increasingly come to rely on social(housing welfare) indicators to establish their decisions and theories. Finally this paper suggests the need to transform attributes of housing from a simple objective of private property right to a socio-spatial system that represents the fusion of the physical unit or house and the social unit or home(household).
