This paper presents a study of private sector participation in Private Participation Infrastructure (PPI) projects, and forms a core part of the process known as the South Korean Social Capital Equipment Systems Investment Program. The study seeks to propose new directions for the current Private Participation Infrastructure System.
Three policy problems existing in the PPI system were analyzed. First, decision-making by negotiation in each project management model process was examined. Next, the process for the selection of private companies to run each project plan was evaluated. In the course of this analysis we make recommendations for restructuring the evaluation system that currently guides project planning and the selection process for private companies. Finally, faults within the PPI master plan are discussed and suggestions made as to how the plan can be improved.
This study identifies an improved approach to project management and redefines the structure and management of the PPI system. Emphasis on competition between the public and private sectors based on competitive market forces can assist the public sector, as the main user of the PPI system, in attempts to take the lead role in the proposed reform of management systems.

　In the latter half of the 1990s, the South Korean government started consideration about a direct payment program (DPP) for LFAs, and officially put it into force in 2006. This paper, based on two cases of field research, examines the general situation of agriculture in LFAs and highlights the problems of the DPP.
　From the beginning, the DPP has been intended for two objectives: income support for farmers and the activation of the LFAs. As for income support, the effectiveness of the DPP has been disappointing. On the other hand, as for the activation, the DPP has been working well. It has really significant performance on the activation of LFAs through various joint activities.
　There is one contradiction between the reality and the DPP system. Due to the Agricultural Land Act, some part of rented lands is excluded from coverage under the grant program. To increase the effectiveness of the DPP, there must be further discussions on the role of the rented lands.

In the 21^st century as information society, to increase the advancement rate of high capable students in science and engineering majors, we can consider the sociological, economical and psychological aspects of the problem. So, we need promote the gifted and talented students in elementary and secondary education, and through such improving measures we need plan to reform the trend of avoiding science and engineering courses. And also, we have to develop diverse education programs to get higher competence. We have to develop the programs for female students with the help of the experts. We have to establish the career guidance system. As a whole, we have to aim both the specialization and diversification of the education system for improving quality of the education. And by analyzing the difficult situation of finding job for college student in South Korea, we have to devise countermeasures for long-term graduate unemployment.

After 1990's, many trials have been promoted for globalization and marketization of higher education in the world. These are performed while seeking for an international framework as follows: promoting the education for sustainable development (ESD) by UNESCO, making cross-border higher education quality provision guideline by OECD, and negotiating for free trade of international educational services, etc. However, there are so many correspondence approaches of globalization and marketization by state or region. After modern times, education had been a important "device" for the formation of nation state. But, it can't be changed radically with unitary value, even if the present society has been transforming to the knowledge-based society. Each country and the institution affecting educational reform are conscious of the continuity by a background of politics, society, and culture. In other words, there are so many kinds of "nationalization" for educational circumstances strategically in each country, being conscious of global standard at the same time. It is very important to create a framework of concrete comparative analysis about correspondence strategy to globalization and marketization when Japanese higher education policy makers or institutions consider to them. In this article, I focused two points that analyzed higher education system of each country: concrete network construction policy to contribute for national or regional sustainable development, and its case of educational strategy formation. The former is the most important element of constituting sustainable development, and the latter is also important to analyze how higher education institutions form the concrete strategy and provide a premise of its curriculum management. I selected Republic of Korea as a field of case study, where has close international exchange with higher education institutions in Japan, and is our neighboring country. Korea established "Basic Law for National Human Resources Development" in 2002, and changed the definition of administrative participation with education fundamentally, and established "The Special Act for Balanced National Development" from 2003, what the government is promoting the decentralization and globalization policy at the same time. Present President Roh, Moo-hyun has carried the banner for fostering regional university as the core organization of balanced national development system in a pledge of his administration. This pledge became a policy as NURI (New Universities for Regional Innovation) Project, and it is enforced from 2004. In this article, I consider three points as follows: how Korea institutionalized the network construction about higher education as a national policy, how they were reflected concretely by the formation of educational strategy in a university, and what kind of impacts Korea's higher education system received about the reform for sustainable development in the circumstances of globalization and marketization. As a result, the Korea government has guided to construct cooperative network for bringing up local human resources of competitive industries with universities, local government, companies, and research institutes. For example, Daejeon metropolitan city in South Korea makes a network for training human resources of mobile communication business, for which Hanbat National University have a leading role. It may be said that a "horizontal network" for higher education with local institutions begins to be designed. However, in South Korea, developing this "horizontal network" has been led by the national government policy. In this mean, the "vertical network" created by the development process of a nation state has been left in South Korea at the same time.

Korea achieved its rapid economic development called "The Miracle of Han-River" beginning in the 1960's. This sudden economic development caused rapid urbanization and accelerated growth in the urban population. The Korean government supplied some housing in a short time to solve the problems from overcrowding, but these supplied housing let us know about the fixation of houses for the high rise and high density apartment house complex that characterize Korean living culture. While at the same time new problems such as housing speculation and revolting against development exist. From this background, the authors defined the process of how high rise and high density apartment housing complexes are connected to the housing policies and economic bodies. How to relate the consumer's interest also defined.
