This article is intended to identify the relationship between various community organizing activities and the emergence of social enterprise in Korean society. That is to say, it is the emergence of social enterprise creating employment and supplying various social services in Korean society that is the historical outcome which has been created by community leaders' groups in the process of diverse community organizing activities. Their appearances are not in any sense an accident. For that reason, it was willing to prove using historical reviews as follows: Social enterprises in Korea have made their appearance through a historical unfolding process of the third sector movement since 1990 such as workers' collectives, micro-credit movement, self-sufficiency community enterprises, etc. As a result, social enterprise promotion act was finally legislated in 2007 and social enterprises were naturally institutionalized in Korean society. <Key-words> community organizing, Self-sufficiency Project, social enterprise Asian J Human Services, 2012, 2:29-37. © 2012 Asian Society of Human Services Ⅰ. Introduction Received The Aim of this paper identifies the relationship between the emergence of social December 13,2011 enterprise in Korea and the various community organizing action in urban Accepted February 6,2012 redevelopment areas such as people's organizing, workers' cooperative's movement, and Published April 30,2012 29 Human Asian Journal of Human Services , VOL.2 29-37 Services Self-sufficiency projects. It is the appearance of social enterprise creating employment and providing various social services in Korean society that is not an accident but a natural outcome or historical product. In this perspective, the developmental process of social enterprise in Korean society is largely divided into three periods historically as the following: 1) The period of the workers' cooperative movement, 2) The period of Self-Sufficiency Project, and 3) The period of the legislation of Social Enterprise Promotion Act Ⅱ. The period of the workers' cooperative movement: 1990-1995 The Self-sufficiency Project had started as a demonstrational project in 1996 and was later established as one of the national institutions, when the National BasicLivelihood Security Act was implemented in 2000. But the Self-sufficiency Project had already existed as a voluntary activity of civil society in Korea(Lee, Moon-Kuk, 1999). That is, the workers' cooperative movement, a branch of community movements of the urban-poor area, was a paramount example. With the People's Church, which carried out the democratization movement in the urban redevelopment areas in the 1970s and 1980s, the activists initiated the workers' cooperative movement in the 1990s. The People's Church means "church, whose pivotal tasks are mainly conducting missionary and serving for the people to become empowered'' in the urban poor area, known as, 'Daldongnae'(The Korea Center for City and Environment Research, 1996), and "church that organizes, educates, and trains for the poor to solve their own problems by themselves, as well as pursues the solution of the structural problems, instead of simply providing the missionary focusing on charity for the poor"(Op. Cit., p. 264). With the basis of this principle of spirit and action, the people's church greatly contributed to both the democratic improvement and the growth of the activists led workers’ cooperative movement in the 1990s. Furthermore, through the workers’ cooperative movement, they tried to elevate the political power of the residents by overcoming economic disadvantages of the poor, and encouraging both enlightenment and organization of the residents, which were the ultimate concerns of the community movement(Shin Myung-Ho, 1999; Lee, Ho, 1994). Translated and published domestically in 1992, the case of Mondragon cooperative complex was applied as a momentum of the workers’ cooperative movement. The leaders of the People’s Church linked with various networks, jointly studied and positively embraced this case(Shin, Myung-Ho & Kim, Hong-Il, 2002). Received The case of Mondragon cooperative complex enabled the workers to recognize that in December 13,2011 capitalism, they were able to enhance productivity without being alienated by the labor Accepted February 6,2012 itself and the labor process. Based upon this acknowledgment, the leaders of the People's Published Church led the workers’ cooperative movement in the urban redevelopment area heavily April 30,2012 30 Human Asian Journal of Human Services , VOL.2 29-37 Self-sufficiency projects. It is the appearance of social enterprise creating employment Services populated with the poor. The fact that the workers' cooperative movement was mainly and providing various social services in Korean society that is not an accident but a advanced in the poor area, in which the urban redevelopment project was processed, natural outcome or historical product. means that the characteristics of the Self-sufficiency Project prior to institutionalization In this perspective, the developmental process of social enterprise in Korean society is were strikingly similar to those of the urban cooperative movement(The Korea Center for largely divided into three periods historically as the following: 1) The period of the City and Environment Research, 2003). workers' cooperative movement, 2) The period of Self-Sufficiency Project, and 3) The The workers' cooperative movement, with a medium of production activity in the period of the legislation of Social Enterprise Promotion Act metropolitan areas, sought for the formation of the community that exchanges significantly strong bonds and shares more intimate relationships with the residents. It Ⅱ. The period of the workers' cooperative movement: 1990-1995 was considered that this such social reformation movement was introduced to implant a new human-centered economic community, which was frequently referred to as the The Self-sufficiency Project had started as a demonstrational project in 1996 and was alternative economy or the social economy to Korean society. later established as one of the national institutions, when the National BasicLivelihood The focus of the workers’cooperative movement in the early stage was for the poor to Security Act was implemented in 2000. fight against the unstable employment and the complex subcontract structure they But the Self-sufficiency Project had already existed as a voluntary activity of civil confronted; however, it was not able to become an axis of the social economy that equals society in Korea(Lee, Moon-Kuk, 1999). That is, the workers' cooperative movement, a to the workers’ cooperative and the social cooperative in Europe. It remained as a simple branch of community movements of the urban-poor area, was a paramount example. level of a group or a joint workshop for the urban working poor. Through acknowledging With the People's Church, which carried out the democratization movement in the urban the case of Mondragon cooperative complex, however, a grand discourse, striving to redevelopment areas in the 1970s and 1980s, the activists initiated the workers' overcome two major ideologies of capitalism and socialism, was oriented. cooperative movement in the 1990s. The first community organization considered as an original form of the workers’ The People's Church means "church, whose pivotal tasks are mainly conducting cooperative was the construction workers’ group 'Dureh' that was launched in 1990. missionary and serving for the people to become empowered'' in the urban poor area, Dureh, the construction production community composed mainly of irregular known as, 'Daldongnae'(The Korea Center for City and Environment Research, 1996), construction workers in the local communities, was organized by pastor H, who and "church that organizes, educates, and trains for the poor to solve their own problems established the movement for the poor since 1974. In the previous year of 1989, having by themselves, as well as pursues the solution of the structural problems, instead of realized the great difference between the life of a pastor, a well-educated middle class simply providing the missionary focusing on charity for the poor"(Op.

ETH Library CULTURAL LABORATORY SEOUL Emergence, Narrative and Impact of Culturally Related Landscape Meanings Susann Valerie Ahn Doctoral Thesis ETH Zürich 2019 2 Abstract The dissertation Cultural Laboratory Seoul examines landscape restoration projects in the South Korean capital Seoul, which have influenced the urban fabric of the Korean capital since the 1980s. The landscape restoration projects have been supported by a paradigm shift from growth-oriented to environment-oriented approaches in Korean urban planning. In this context, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has sought means to convey traditional, historical and natural values through landscape restoration. In consequence, Seoul’s landscape elements—mountains, rivers, and valleys—have been cleared of apartment buildings and urban infrastructure, and afterwards have been greened. The challenge in many of these landscape restoration projects, however, has been to convey the traditional landscape meaning of these sites while meeting today’s landscape architectural standards and requirements as well as the needs of citizens. In order to gain a deeper understanding of how to deal with these challenges, the dissertation examines existing landscape restoration projects such as the restoration of Namsan (1990–2000), the restoration of Naksan (1997–2002), and the restoration of Inwangsan’s Suseongdong Valley (2007–2012).

Of these, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is particularly influential globally including in South Korea. Although the authority of PISA as a soft power is widespread and affects many countries, individual countries are not unconditionally affected but can consider and adopt PISA results according to their own logic and interests. This is the starting point for this thesis which focuses on South Korea. Of many local actors in South Korea, two leading newspapers were selected for analysis. From the perspective of externalization thesis, this thesis examines how the newspapers have utilized the PISA results in the debate on education in South Korea. This was done by comparing articles related to PISA published in two prominent newspapers of different political inclination since the first PISA cycle in 2000 and until the year of 2018 - the last time period that can be examined in full within the time limits of this thesis.
