성별영향평가 실천의 알아가기(knowing)와 행위유발성(affordance): D시 성별영향평가를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper analyzed the fixing processes of D’s city as a practice of gender impact assessment of a self-governing body in korea, based on Cook and Brown(1999). Cook and Brown call what is possessed ‘knowledge’ and what is part of action ‘knowing’. In addition to the traditional epistemology of possession, there needs to be a parallel epistemology of practice, which takes ways of knowing as its focus. They see knowledge and knowing as complementary and mutually enabling, and the interplay of knowledge and knowing as a potentially generative phenomenon. That is, for human groups, the source of new knowledge and knowing lies in the use of knowledge as a tool of knowing within situated interaction with the social and physical world. This is the generative dance. And they define what they mean by dynamic affordance. I says that a practice of gender impact assessment can make new knowing through interplay with organizational knowledge by expert leader. So it need to create dynamic affordances and one of them is the leader. It was examined how the organization had derived and learned gender Impact assessment system in D’s city. The method is to study the case based on in-depth interview with a public servant in D’s city. Especially analytical technique takes advantage of the storytelling. The findings are as follows. In the Departure Periods, an organization of D’s city only added gender impact assessment system within organizational knowledge. On the other hand, the organization was interacted with organizational knowledge and gender impact assessment for the Conflict Periods, and created new knowings. Finally, in the Fixed Periods the organization used educations as dynamic affodance in order to derive gender impact assessment practice from participating in the educations. Also there was a system of awarding prizes to make public servants enter in the educations. In D’s city, I could see new knowing(s) as the result of interaction between organizational knowledge and gender impact assessment: Gender Impact Assessment Officers, various briefings, real name system of writing a gender impact assessment, and various educations, awards system, etc. Once these can be said new knowing indigenous to the district.
