Central government in South Korea has managed the huge Public Fund to restructure its financial sector since the late 1997. From November 1997 to August 2002 the total of 157 trillion won had been input. And even now repayment plan has being carried out. The reimbursement amount. which is the same as total input minus withdrawal of the Public Fund. was estimated as 69 trillion won. Of which 20 trillion won was supposed to be covered by the financial sector and the remains of 49 trillions by the public finance sector. So far, the management of the Public Fund has exposed several problems. First, the comprehensive management was impossible because, before the basic law of Public Fund. Special Act of Public Fund, was enacted and Public Fund Committee was established, the 81.7% of total Public Fund had been executed. Second, the decision of Public Fund had ever been made politically. Government and ruling party had delayed the additional Public Fund not to invoke unfavorable condition against them in General Election of April 2000, even though there was urgent necessity of inputting it. Third, there was refutation that they sold assets which had been handed over in return of Public Fund too cheaply because they aimed only at preparing the additional Public Fund. Finally, the financial sector which is largely responsible agent for Public Fund took over smaller repayment liability(20 trillion won) than the public finance which ultimately would result in debt of the people(49 trillion won).

The Local Financial Analysis and Diagnosis System is one of the major tool for the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs to manage the soundness and efficiency of Korean local finance. This paper tried to make a new approach for the system in view of financial decentralization and performance-oriented initiatives. At first, I investigated the critical issues of the current system. And then, I suggested four alternative models for monitoring the local financial trends based on financial decentralization : from Analysis Diagnosis to Analysis-Evaluation System.

In spite of the rapid growth, however, there are many problems in Korean Medical Security Programs, for examples, the problems of the equity, the coverage gap, and the dissatisfaction of medical services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the provisions of National Health Programs. It begins to overview the recent models for evaluation of the welfare policy. On the basis of Gilbert & Specht``s Model, I evaluate the provisions of the medical security policy, especially the National Health Insurance. Utilizing such concepts as allocation, provision, delivery, and finance, I discuss various operational issues and their implications for practice. In order to maximize the benefit of national health programs and the regional and spatial equity of medical services, I think that this paper IS significant and serves as a basis on which medical security planners begin to construct a common ground of understanding on the nature of the medical service.

This study takes up with two important questions ; how does rational self-interest of human-beings, along with its invisible hands as co-ordination capacity, imbue productivity to market mechanism and give rise to moral failure in market, and can trust-imbued governance, in terms of mutual benefits, solve those problems in market? This article is trying to analyze the relations between the roles of rational self-interest on the premise of needs fulfillment for problem-solving and the roles of normative social institutions unveiling moral sense, with the framework of game situation and social selection logic. The findings show that, after admitting that the commoners would seek after self-interest maximization to fulfill their desire. we have to develope a governance run on the check and co-ordination mechanism of rational self- interest and normative social institutions. This governance. if connected to national development strategies of medium and long-term for growth and distribution, will recognize the pivotal roles of self-interest of individuals and normative social institutions of trust.

Different condition of employment between contingent workers and regular workers are appeared as two or three discriminations ranging from payment, working conditions, welfare standard, even to social recognition. Discriminations for contingent workers are presented as seriously unstabled employment, low payment. poor working conditions, and low level of welfare in terms of individuals. Meanwhile, in terms of the whole working group, it possibly dissolves the workers by the employment condition and the payment capability of each company, and it is likely to deepen unequality among them. Besides, social discrimination for contingent workers has another serious problem in that it could ultimately threaten working condition and stable employment of regular workers. Some says that such discrimination for contingent workers has been mostly caused by the Korean working welfare system, which has been developed and organized mainly by big company workers and regular workers. Thus, this study is generally to look into the Korean working welfare system in order to approach the social welfare problem of contingent workers, and then to find the ways to improve it.

This study tries to apply the Ajzen``s newly revised ‘theory of planning behavior model,’ which has been changed based on 1991 model in 2002-3, to the officials`` knowledge use behavior in Korea. Could be applicable all the guide lines for operationalization suggested by Ajzen without the knowledge use behavior and the model(structural equation model). Unipolar method is better applicable than bipolar in data collecting process. The eight hypotheses are tested statistically significant in the integrated data. But this study failed in comparing the two groups in between central and local government officials, but this will be possible by enlarging sample size of central officials. Suggestible are the two implications: the model``s dependent variable should be behavior as Ajzen has suggested several times, and constructive elements of the model should be constructs rather than individual variables as he displayed in 2002-3 in his homepage.

This study focused on investigating and analyzing how much the family system of low-income mother-headed homes might have effects on their social adaptation. Here, it was found that balanced family was a family system which may evade from social handicaps. Balanced family showed relatively good personal or social satisfaction, and smooth communication with family members. It was also found that self-respect of mothers in fatherless home was significantly different, depending on their academic careers and employment. This result implies that it is necessary to lay more focus on mutual interaction and communication within low-income fatherless homes in terms of welfare policies enforced by central or local government. So it is necessary to motivate field working-level personnel and mothers in actual fatherless home to participate in policy-making process so as to reflect inconvenient factors in practice. Although financial supports from the economic angle are important, the mothers in fatherlesshome wish stable growth of their children.

Great attention has been shown to the question of salaried system of local assembly man. Therefore, it would be interesting to see that we discuss how to do it. Argument for and against this matter takes on fire at the present time. I think that salaried system would seem to base on the local assembly of Korea, while we are looking circumstance of local self-government. In turn, my aim is to provide an alternative for salaried system through investing conditions of Korea and foreign country case. As a result, I suppose that as experienced by fourth``s election in local assembly, we must be awakened to timing of institution change. It will be duly good that transfer of salaried system leads local assembly to specialization, competence and ordinary times in the legislature activities. It is hoped that this paper will lay the foundation for future work on salaried system of local assembly man.
