4대강 재자연화 정책에 따른 갈등의 동태성에 대한 인과순환구조 분석

Abstract

This study investigated the dynamics of policy conflicts in pursuing the Re-Naturalization Policy of the dismantling the weirs to restore the nature of the 4 major rivers in S. Korea. The study attempted to derive policy leverage points to alleviate the dynamic conflicts created while transitioning from the 4 Major Rivers Development Policy of past government to the Re-Naturalization Policy of current government. It was confirmed that the restoration of the nature of the rivers involves complex interactions of diverse and numerous socioeconomic and ecological factors, producing highly dynamic conflict behavior over time. The analysis shows that the expression of conflict differed by the period in the process of policy transition, and a dominant feedback structure was constructed to identify leverage points in alleviating the intractable conflicts in an arena where various interests groups such as the government, political parties, environmental groups, farmers, and local-area residents, etc. interplay.
