다층적 거버넌스 확산을 통한 농촌 비점오염원 관리 : 부안 동진강유역과 이천 설성천유역 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

The NSP management can be addressed through a governance approach that involves various stakeholders related to water management issues since they go beyond the scope of locations. To propose a multilevel governance model for the management of NSP in rural areas, this paper reviewed previous studies and performed governance evaluation and social network analysis. The examined areas were the Dongjin-River Basin in North Jeolla Province and the Icheon Seolseong Stream Basin in Gyeonggi Province. Based on the results, this study attempted to prepare measures to establish and disseminate power by identifying key performers among the members of the NSP management governance in rural areas through a network analysis of the governance members. The evaluation results indicated that the governance of the Dongjin River Basin has reached the implementation stage of NSP management governance in rural areas, and it should execute activities to foster self-reliance. Evaluations also showed that the governance of the Icheon Seolseong Stream Basin was at an early phase of the implementation stage. According to the role analysis of social network, the field activists’ group and the village leaders’ group from intermediary support organizations were key performers. Through activity support for both groups, the village community not only built a relational structure that strengthened the sense of community and citizens’ capabilities but also formed social capital based on trust regarding the NSP management. The study concluded that the NSP management in rural areas should reach beyond citizens’ participation of water management that emphasizes only their voluntary participation. It should be approached through governance that engages various stakeholders and be managed according to the unique circumstances of rural areas and characteristics of basins. Furthermore, the need for intermediary support organizations that can connect the private and public sectors, and provide a sustainable forum for public debate, is required. Based on the above findings, the following policy implications were drawn to reduce gaps in the governance that was formed to manage NSP and to disseminate the implementation of multilevel governance.
