Sustainable community development has become a cornerstone for the overall sustainability movement in the recent years. Island provinces, due to the unique make up of their communities can and should adopt sound community development process for sustaining their futures growth. Civic engagement and citizen input are crucial for planning sustainable growth of island communities. This is primarily due to the fact that most island communities are inundated with rapidly growing tourism industry that threatens to affect the future of their environmental assets, island cultures and living standards. The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of environmental governance and citizen participation for sustainable growth of island communities. In addition to discussing the importance of citizen participation in sustainable development of island communities, this article also provides a brief case study of Jeju island and its recent attempts to promote sustainability in the wake of rapidly growing tourist industry. Two emerging and important planning processes that can enhance sustainable community development of island provinces are also discussed with specific applications to Jeju

지방자치제도의 본격적인 시행과 함께 민관 협력을 기반으로 한 협치 기제로써 지역사회복지협의체의 운영이 의무화되고, 2010년 현재 1기 지역사회복지계획의 종결 및 2기 지역사회복지계획을 수립하는 중요한 시기에 도래하였다. 하지만 1기 평가의 미진, 파행적 계획과정의 답습 등이 이루어지고 있는 상황에서, 본 연구자는 지역사회복지협의체의 활성화를 목적으로 구속력, 강제력 강화를 위하여 사회복지조직으로서의 지역사회복지협의체 분석을 실시하였다. 서울의 G구를 중심으로 시민사회중심 거버넌스 이론, 조직요건 및 전문적 관료제적 측면에서의 지역사회복지협의체를 분석하였고, 그 결과 관 중심의 편협한 위원선정, 관 중심적 협의체 영향력 행사 등의 문제가 도출되었다. 또한 전문적 관료제 측면에서는 지방자치단체 주무관이 상근간사로의 역할을 수행하면서 대표협의체-실무협의체-실무분과의 계층적 조직구조를 부정하고 개별적인 조직으로서의 활동을 조장하고 있었으며, 관계 중심적․의무감의 조직으로 전락하고 있는 실정임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 구성원의 역할 법제화를 통하여 위원들의 자주적 활동을 보장하고, 민간간사 또한 관으로부터 분리될 수 있도록 하며, 정기적인 교육과 사업 평가의 공식화를 제언하였다. 이와 같은 연구결과가 비단 서울의 G구 뿐만 아니라 전국 기초자치단체의 지역사회복지협의체 활성화에 밑거름으로 활용되기를 기대한다.

In the era of network media, the outbreak of network social emotions will lead to the tearing and out of control situation of network public opinion ecology, resulting in the occurrence of public crisis. With the development of network media technology, we can deeply understand the social mentality of public events through the analysis and management of public network behavior. Grass roots governance is the basis of social governance. Urban community governance and rural village governance belong to the category of community governance. In the city, the community is the unit cell of social governance. The large-scale Internet platform has linked people, money, materials, and information related to personal life together. It not only provides solutions for the public's life problems but also provides a new digital social governance model. The modernization of community governance at the grassroots level also means reshaping the interpersonal relationship and power structure of the community, focusing on highlighting the subjectivity of the community residents and enhancing the emotional identity of the community. This paper puts forward the analysis framework of social public psychology and behavior in the face of public events, based on the management of public emotions reflected in the network media, to improve the modernization level of community governance and the ability to deal with public events

This paper explores community-based flood disaster risk governance by applying a sensemaking approach. The conceptual sensemaking framework consists of individual experience, dialogue, and socialization components, which together comprise an interconnected system. This study presents a method for applying this framework by using a concerns table and a SWOT analysis to examine the concerns of residents living in a flood plain. A series of community-based workshops on flood risk reduction was conducted with residents of the floodprone Muraida community in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. During the workshops, residents’ concerns regarding flood risk surfaced. This study used an idiographic approach to examine the proceedings of the workshops. SWOT issue analysis was used to examine the strengths and weaknesses in the Muraida community’s internal capacities, and examine the opportunities and threats in the external capacities (e.g., local government). Additionally, a SWOT strategy analysis was conducted to identify strategies for knowledge sharing and development of cooperative countermeasures that can be undertaken between the Muraida community and the local government. The results show that the concerns table can not only summarize the main concerns of all workshops, but also provide an understanding of alternative flood risk countermeasures that can be carried out.

As rural development projects, mostly carried out in a top-down development method in the past came to take a bottom-up development method in earnest, entering the 2000s, resident participation became an essential element of a rural community design project, to the extent that it can influence the success or failure of a rural community design project. It is taken for granted that rural residents independently participate in community design projects, but as they are accustomed to various subsidy projects carried out by the government and become increasingly aging, it is not easy to induce their spontaneous participation in farming areas with such problems. Especially, to prevent the distrust between administrative agencies and residents from serving as an obstacle in the residents' spontaneous participation, it is necessary to construct horizontal governance among the village residents, administrative agencies and the group of experts supporting for the project. This study attempted to verify the mediating effect of governance in the relationship between resident participation and the performance of the rural community design project based on this problem recognition, and for this purpose, the results of a survey with residents in Utturu Village, Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju-si, which was completed by carrying out a comprehensive rural development project, the typical bottom-up community design project was used for an empirical analysis. The results of the study can provide implications for setting directions, establishing strategies and constructing governance of rural community design projects in the future, and especially, it can be said that this study has academic significance in that governance is recognized as an important variable related to the project performance.
