This study uses survey data of 1,500 public employees of South Korean central government and local governments, asking their perception of relationships and co-workers between governments. The study conducts ANOVA to investigate the perception gap between the central government’s and local government’s public employees on the mitigating depopulation issue in South Korea. The result shows that there was a statistically significant gap between public employees in the central government and local government in terms of perception on policy effectiveness, need for delegation, and initiatives of depopulation policy issues. This study claims that the gaps must be remedied to enhance long-term collaboration and build effective collaborative governance for the depopulation mitigation policies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the experience of local residents of energy independent villages by applying grounded theory to energy independent villages in Gyeonggi Province and to suggest policy implications., As a result of the analysis, it was found that the experience of economic effects such as the reduction of electricity charges and the securing of village funds was derived as the causal condition affecting the residents in the energy independent village project, and it was combined with the contextual condition of low installation cost with 80-90% subsidy support. Misunderstanding and low awareness of solar power generation were derived as an intervening condition that mitigates or changes the influence on the central phenomenon. As an action and interaction strategy for the intervening condition, Village leaders responded through dedication and efforts such as information provision and explanation. As a result of the energy independent village project in response to the action ·interaction strategy, the hope of expanding the solar power generation project of the village and the house was derived. First, in order to expand renewable energy and convert energy to cope with the climate crisis, it is necessary to design policies so that residents can experience economic benefits through renewable energy. Second, it is necessary to provide policy support so that the village that promoted the energy independent village project can be converted into a true energy independent village. Third, it is necessary to continue education for strengthening the capacity of energy independent village leaders and residents.

Korea has long been regarded as a single ethnic country, but it is changing into a multicultural society as the foreign population rapidly increases due to globalization. Accordingly, an attitude of respecting multicultural values and diversity has emerged as a core task of social integration. This study classified multicultural contact experiences into everyday contact (mere observation) and participatory contact (intentional and active exchange), analyzed the effect of each on multicultural acceptance (diversity, relationship, universality), and examined the moderating effect of participatory contact. As a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the data of the “2021 National Multicultural Acceptance Survey”, both types of contact increased multicultural acceptance, and in particular, participatory contact showed a moderating effect that strengthened the relationship between everyday contact and relationship and universality. Based on this, this study empirically suggested that the expansion of everyday contact is the first step in a multicultural society, and qualitative interaction through participatory contact is essential. In addition, a new framework for understanding multicultural acceptance was proposed, and the importance of multicultural activities was suggested at the level of local community and policy.

This study aims to systematically analyze the factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly in China in a rapidly aging society and to derive policy implications. To this end, a multi-level analysis is conducted on the elderly in nine local governments in Shandong Province, and the influence of individual characteristics, social capital, and community welfare resources variables are examined. The results of the analysis show that not only individual characteristics and social capital significantly affected the quality of life of the elderly, but also the sufficiency of community welfare resources are confirmed to be important factors in determining the quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the taking charge behavior(TCB) of street-level bureaucrats, focusing on organizational contextual factors and modulating effect of public service motivation; TCB in which street-level bureaucrats voluntarily and proactively participate is thought to be important for desirable change and organizational innovation in public organizations. This study empirically analyzed the TCB of street-level bureaucrats who are influenced by public service motivation as well as contextual characteristics (discretion, perceived organizational support, transformational leadership). The findings show, first, the main effect between the discretion of street-level bureaucrats, perceived organizational support, transformational leadership and TCB had a positive(+) effect. Second, there was no moderating effect of public service motivation between perceived organizational support and TCB, whereas the interaction effect of discretion, transformational leadership, and public service motivation have a positive effect. Third, it was confirmed that discretion promotes TCB by public service motivation, but transformational leadership confirmed the negative (-) effect reversed by public service motivation.
