유럽 비영리조직 프로젝트 거버넌스 구조에 관한 연구

(Background and Purpose) In the modern world, the value of public space is based on improving the physical environment and the sustainable growth of human society. In European countries, design governance as a multilateral cooperation system has developed alongside the evolution of national administration. Since 2012, the European Prize for Urban Public Space (EPUPS) has seen an increase in the number of advanced public space improvements, especially by non-profit organizations. While research on the role of the non-profit sector and the possibility of expanding its scope has been continuously conducted in overseas academia, little research has explored public environment improvement or public design through non-profit organizations in Korea. This study provides academic resources that can be utilized by domestic non-profit organizations by diagramming the governance structure and categorizing the characteristics of non-profit projects awarded by the EPUPS. (Method) First, we review the domestic and international literature to understand the concept of non-profits, the current status of non-profit organizations in Korea, and the need for non-profit governance. Second, we selected the winning projects of the EPUPS. Third, by comparing and analyzing the governance structures of each project, we present design methodologies and governance system information that can be used by domestic non-profits. (Results) The governance structure of each of the 11 projects was diagrammed and analyzed in four ways: core features of each project, features according to the degree of involvement, classification by common features of the projects, and classification of project types according to the background of the organizational formation. In addition to individual characteristics, the common features include the following. First, as all projects dealt with public space, public institutions were essentially involved, but their roles varied depending on the degree of involvement. Second, all projects comprised three contexts: using their budgets, establishing a fund circulation system, and establishing a cooperation system among stakeholders. Third, the project governance characteristics of the organizations can be categorized according to their formation background: organizations formed based on grassroots activities, separate project organizations within companies, and local expert-based organizations. Changes exist in the subject matter and participating actors, depending on the formation background. (Conclusions) First, through a theoretical review, the study identified the lack of information media on domestic non-profit organizations. Second, by providing information on the governance structure of advanced projects awarded by EPUPS, it aimed to induce various attempts by domestic non-profit organizations. As non-profits are based on the public value of public design, which is based on voluntarism and public interest, this study explores various strategies to revitalize domestic nonprofits through an in-depth study of the current status and types of non-profit organizations and governance evaluation indicators.
