Preface

Since Korea Research Institute for Human Settlement (KRIHS) started its educational training programs for government officials from developing countries in 1987, it has continuously implemented international cooperation activities such as operating educational programs for about 500 government officials from 60 countries, and establishing and supporting their national territorial plans.

Recently, our roles and positions have been heightened in the international society, through joining the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), hosting the G20 Summit in Seoul, etc. In order to promptly react to the shar- ply increasing demand for international cooperation, KRIHS established the Global Development Partnership Center (GDPC) on December 30, 2010.

With the objective of being the best ODA-specialized government- commissioned institution in the area of national territorial development in the Republic of Korea, the GDPC has performed various development partnership activities such as educational training for government officials from developing countries, established national territorial plans, and provided consulting services. In particular, the GDPC is making active efforts in practicing the 'Development Agenda' adopted at the G20 Seoul Summit.

2011 was the first year when the GDPC made full-fledged efforts to reinforce its capacity for global development partnership. The GDPC has pro- moted various types of work as follows: educational training, international cooperation, policy advisory services for developing countries, and establishing a global network.

For our work on educational training, 64 government officials have participated in six courses so far, including the EPC(Ⅰ) Urban Planning & Devel- opment Course, EPC(Ⅱ) Urban Planning & Policy Course, KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency)-Commissioned Training Course, and the

countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Kazak- hstan, focusing on these developing countries.

We have made efforts to establish a global network with various multilateral development banks (MDBs), including the World Bank (WB), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Upon entering into an MOU with the WB on Decem- ber 14, 2010, KRIHS was selected as a core partner of the WB for the Urban Knowledge Platform (UKP) project in June 2011.

By hosting the monthly Global Develop- ment Partnership Forum, the GDPC also takes on the role as a bridge for Korean private companies so that they could form partnerships with companies and organizations in the overseas market. Through this forum, the Center provides opportunities to seek strategies for cooperating with overseas countries as well as exchanging information on global develop -ment partnership among domestic and overseas experts in the overseas development and cooperation area, as well as with the staff at construction companies, engineering companies, and related associations.

In addition, the GDPC website (http://www.

gdpc.kr) has been built to provide information in Korean, English, French, and Spanish to cons- truct and provide information databases. The website provides various information including information on educational training, educational materials, and a virtual 'Community' operated for the trainees. Also, in order to build global development partnership networks, the GDPC is preparing a database for domestic and overseas human resources (trainees, experts, lecturers, etc.) and has actively participated in performing research related to developing the content on development and cooperation.

We have also made efforts for content

(MLTM) of Korea, conducting the "Research on the Solutions of Utilizing Official Development Assistance (ODA) in Land, Transport and Mari- time Affairs," “Research on a Roadmap to Esta- blish a Master Plan for International Coopera- tion,” etc.

As for publications, we have published the Planning & Policy Report, which is a report on the policies and development trends in developing countries, published three times a year. The GDPC Newsletters are published once every quarter (i.e., four times a year) in order to inform the participants and affiliated persons of the major projects conducted by the GDPC. The GDPC Annual Report published at this time foc- uses on the international cooperation activities carried out by our researchers at the Center and KRIHS with much passion and dedication. The purpose of publishing an annual report every year is to review and check ourselves by sum- marizing our international cooperation activities that have been performed throughout the year, and also to widely publicize the major achievements of the GDPC in Korea and the overseas.

We, the GDPC at KRIHS, are doing our best to develop as an ODA-specialized institute entrusted by the government in the area of national territorial development. We look forward to your continued support and interest for many years to come in order to facilitate further development of the GDPC.

Thank you.

benefited from many lessons from the Korean development experiences, while developing their own research topics through lectures, field trips, meetings with advisors, etc. Esp- ecially, it was shown that they were very satisfied with the kind advice of the advisors and the information provided.

Regarding the trainees' opinions, they exp- ressed that they wanted to secure their research topics before the course begins, in order to facilitate a more effective process, and they

asked to increase the discussion time with their advisors. Since they have shown far more satisfaction with a customized program rather than a one-way information delivery kind, the development of more customized programs is required.

llMeeting with an Advisor

(15)

The course included 16 lectures segmented by national territorial and regional plans, green national territory and cities, housing land, national infrastructure, geographic information system (GIS), Korea's official development assistance (ODA) policies, civil investment, etc., accord- ing to the survey results of their educational needs.

Site Visits and Industrial Field Trips The programs were provided so that trainees could experience the overall facts of national territorial development and urbanization of Korea based on theories that they learned in lectures.

Regional industrial field trips were conducted for three days so that trainees could see the cases of National Territory Development Pro- jects and urban planning, as well as experience Korean culture in person. Through these trips, they experienced Korea's transportation infrastructure, water resource management, cities, agricultural life, etc.

Meetings with Advisors and Conducting Policy Research

Taking into account all the knowledge gained from the lectures and the experiences of Korea's national and regional development, the trainees suggested policies that may be suitable for the circumstances of each country, by writing a policy report through a self-led research process. To improve their reports, they attended meetings with their advisors three times in total, through which they were provided with constructive advice for their reports.

Visiting Private Companies

The trainees had an opportunity to visit many private companies in Korea, such as Yooshin Engineering Corporation, Dowha Engineering Co, Ltd., etc. They were able to learn the

Seminars and Special Lectures by Experts

As a part of the training, international seminars and special lectures given by experts, in which the trainees discussed the issues arising from urbanization and gathered ideas for urbanization-related policies for developing countries.

• Evaluation of the Course

The participant satisfaction with the overall training program was shown to be high. The trainees had time to think over what is required for

the development of their countries through this course and it enabled them to discuss in depth national territory policies. Also, it was evaluated that trainees benefited from many lessons from the development experiences of Korea. They showed higher satisfaction with one-day site visits or industrial field trips rather than one-way delivery lectures. This means that the course should focus more on self-led education and training in which participants can feel, see, and think for themselves.

Eventually, strategic education and training plans will be required in order to provide every stage of education and training, policy consulting, plan establishment, and development projects linked as one system.

llWorkshop presenting the Planning & Policy Report

• Major Contents

Presentions of Topics by Each Training Country

Each trainee wrote a Country Report and a report for the Planning & Policy Report, and gave presentations on their reports. The Coun- try Report refers to a report that describes the facts and figures of the countries participating in the educational training course, while the Planning & Policy Report refers to a report con- taining specific development plans or policy suggestions based on the Country Report, rather than dealing with simple facts and figures of a country.

The trainees gave their presentations on the Country Report in the initial stage of the training course. Furthermore, they refined and developed their report through meetings with their advisors and their independent research study for the Planning & Policy Report that was submitted as a final report.

Through a workshop on the trainees' Plan-

ning & Policy Report, the trainees had the opportunity to receive feedback from not only their advisors but also other experts at KRIHS who are able to provide helpful comments for their continued revisions to their reports even after they return to their home countries.

After completing the training course, certi- ficates were conferred to all the trainees, and awards were given to those who wrote superb policy reports.

(19)

This course included 16 lectures that were divided by each topic on national territorial and regional development, transportation infrastructure, green cities, housing and land policy, geographic information system (GIS), official development assistance (ODA) of Korea, etc.

The trainees thought the lecture component of the training course was very valuable, as the experts in each area provided their knowledge and ideas.

Site Visits and Industrial Field Trips The site visit programs were provided so that the trainees could visit the urban development sites of Korea and institutions related to urban policies.

Also, industrial field trips were conducted twice for three days so that the trainees could experience in person the Korean territorial development sites, industrial development, Korean traditional culture, etc.

Meetings with Advisors and Conducting Policy Research

The meetings with one's advisor were officially held three times in total. During the meetings, trainees obtained the necessary materials and

advice required for their research from their individual advisor. Advisors were assigned by KRIHS to each trainee based on the topic of his/her Country Report and the advisor’s area of expertise. Every trainee were assigneed his/

her own advisor and received assistance from the advisor when writing the research report (Planning & Policy Report), and the trainees were satisfied with such support.

• Evaluation of the Course

Policy,’ ‘The Land Policy of Korea,’ ‘Korea's Housing Policy,’ etc. They showed a high level of content with most lectures and programs, but pointed out the difficulty in communication, due to the relative low English proficiency of some trainees. For the next selection of trainees, the issue of English proficiency and communication will be discussed with the KOICA.

Also, the program the trainees showed great satisfaction with was the research report writing component (Planning & Policy Report)

through the official meetings with their individual advisors. However, some pointed out the problem of a lack of time. As the training session was short and meetings with their advisors were restricted, profound discussions were insufficiently carried out. Therefore, it is suggested that the duration be expanded as well as the frequency for the meetings with advisors by coordinating parts of the KOICA- commissioned training program.

infrastructure of Korea based on the theories learned in the lectures. Also, through the two- day industrial field trips to the regions of Busan and Ulsan, the trainees had an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the logistics infrastructure and industries of Korea.

As for the site visits and industrial field trips, a briefing-style presentation was conducted by the visiting institution for the trainees, which was followed by a question and answer session before the trainees toured the related facilities.

• Evaluation of the Course

The trainees were highly satisfied with the overall course content. They evaluated that the lectures and seminars contributed to their understanding of Korean logistics policy and

infrastructure, grasping related issues on the logistics policies of their own country, as well as obtaining important implications and suggestions. Also, the trainees showed great satisfaction with the one-day site visits and industrial field trips, as the educational effects were enhanced through their direct experiences. Future research training programs should be developed in a strategic way so that they may be linked not only with lectures and industrial field trips but also with the management of post-performance that follows the research training such as consulting for development, developing projects, etc.
