In the 10th Annual Conference of Japan Evaluation Society and 42nd Board Meeting held in December 2012, the “Guidelines for the Ethical Conduct of Evaluations” were approved. The Certified Professional Evaluators attending the Subcommittee of Evaluator’s Ethics and Standards of JES made the draft of these guidelines. These guidelines should be reviewed and updated continuously based on the peculiarities of evaluation in each field and should be constantly revised in accordance with the circumstances of each evaluation. This thesis summarizes the background, purpose and examination process behind the preparation of the Guidelines for the Ethical Conduct of Evaluations and considers the perspectives and projected roles of the Guidelines, with the intention of providing reference to and assisting in the revision of the Guidelines by evaluators in each field.

  This study reports the results of the analysis of the questionnaire survey distributed to the member of the Japan Evaluation Society（JES）. The survey obtained information that was used as a reference in the formulation of the JES code of ethics. This survey was conducted from June to July 2009 among the JES members at the JES Sixth Spring Conference through email. Open-ended questions identified ethical challenges that respondents encountered in their evaluation work. Forty-eight questionnaires were collected, yielding 58 concrete examples of ethical challenges that respondents encountered. The examples were classified into 11 groups. The draft of the “Guidelines for the Ethical Conduct of Evaluations of JES” reflected the results and was approved by the association in December 2012.

  A new qualification framework for local public human resources was established in 2008. It aims to introduce EQF system of European Commission and capstone-program system of US universities’ advanced course to Japanese vocational training system. In this report, first the modern global social structure in post industrialization will be discussed around globalism and glocalism. And next we will discuss about the changing concept of public interest in the post welfare state, and make it clear that the new public interest should be “sustainability” and then this new concept will change the ordinary divided sectorial role to shared public affaires among all sectors.
