South Korea’s urban renewal policy emphasizes resident participation and multidimensional activities. This study identifies the determinants of resident satisfaction with five urban renewal projects implemented in South Gyeongsang Province, Changwon, Gimhae (Gaya, Jangyu), Sacheon, and Miryang. Multiple regression analysis was utilized for survey data from these five areas. Results reveal that the resident satisfaction was positively influenced by 1) the level of the resident’s opinions reflected in the project, 2) the expectations for improving the local economy, 3) the level of satisfaction with living environments, 4) the importance of improving neighbourly relations, and 5) the level of satisfaction with public hearings/discussions in the decreasing order of severity. Meanwhile, the 1) the need for urban renewal projects, 2) the importance of tourist visits, 3) the importance of improving living environments, and 4) the level of satisfaction with recreational/sports facilities negatively affected resident satisfaction with urban renewal projects in the decreasing order of severity. The aforementioned factors have significant implications to promote practical resident participation in the establishment of renewal strategies tailored to the regional contexts of South Gyeongsang Province.

This note examines how issues of conflict affected fragile states and peacebuilding have been dealt with in the preparation of the post-2015 development agenda. It is clear that the activities of g7+, OECD/DAC, and other development partners as well as initiatives such as the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States have drawn increased attention of the international community to the special challenges faced by conflict affected fragile states.

Bearing in mind the above context and the agreement that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) should be coherent with and integrated in the post-2015 development agenda, this note reviews, from the peacebuilding perspective, the SDGs proposal submitted by the intergovernmental Open Working Group (OWG) on SDGs to the UN General Assembly in July 2014. Comments in this regard include the following: 1) while a goal on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies is included in the SDGs proposal, only 2 of its 12 targets specify a target year, making monitoring of implementation difficult; 2) peacebuilding activities must be firmly incorporated in the national development strategy and plan of the country; 3) availability of timely and reliable data disaggregated by gender, race, ethnicity, and other relevant characteristics is critical; 4) inclusion and participation of various stakeholders must be ensured, including women, youth, and other vulnerable population, in planning and implementing peacebuilding activities; 5) risk management in peacebuilding activities should be a joint undertaking with development partners; 6) development financing should be secured through innovative means of mobilizing both public and private resources; and 7) South-South cooperation that includes cooperation among fragile states should be promoted further. While discussion on the SDGs and post-2015 development agenda continues at the UN General Assembly and other forums, the note concludes that the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies should be included as a firm goal along with a relevant set of targets in the post-2015 development agenda.

　本研究は，札幌市立小学校の教員と児童を対象にした質問紙調査により，エネルギー教育の実態，及び，エネルギー教育の方法と児童の省エネ行動，知識習得等との関係を明らかにした．教員向け質問紙調査の結果，すべての学校がエネルギー教育を実施していること，エネルギー教育の必要性を感じていることが確認された．児童向け質問紙調査の回答の平均の差を検定した結果，エネルギー教育に取り組んだ教科や実践方法と児童の省エネ行動，知識，関心との間に有意な関係があることが明らかとなった．学校内の再エネの有無やエネルギー教育の時数の多寡と児童の知識・関心等の間の関係は確認できなかった．今後のエネルギー教育では，時数を増やすのではなく，副教材の利用や能動的な授業の実施など，質の向上についての検討が必要と言える．
