Abstract

This study aims at identifying the development strategies for capacity building of intermediary agencies from the survey and analysis of intermediary agencies in the private sector which play an important role in the economic development of Chungnam province. From the review of the literature, we defined the concept of intermediaries as an institute or program which builds and maintains the proper relationship among the various actors. In order to determine the current situation of intermediary agencies and their roles in Chungnam province, we selected nine private industrial institutes and carried out a questionnaire and interview survey. It was identified that they have very limited knowledge of the role of intermediaries, while mainly focusing on the traditional function of lobbying groups. Therefore, a policy needs be developed to allow them to participate in regional development projects, in order to improve their capability to facilitate network activities for regional economic development.

이 연구의 목적은 충남지역 경제 발전에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 민간 중간지원조직의 현황을 조사 분석하고 이들의 역량을 강화시키는 정책적 방안을 도출하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 중간지원조직을 민간단체와 정부 사이에서 다양한 주체들 간에 원활한 관계를 형성, 유지하도록 하는 모든 기관과 프로그램이라고 정의하였다. 지금까지 대부분의 연구들은 공공기관 중간지원조직의 기능과 역할에 대한 분석이 중심이었지만, 이 연구에서는 충남지역을 활동 범위로 하는 민간분야 경제관련 단체 9곳을 선정하여 중간지원조직으로서의 역할과 기능에 대해 설문지와 면담조사를 통해서 조사하였다. 그 결과 아직까지 과거 산업화시대 이익단체로서의 역할에 국한된 활동에 초점을 두고 있으며, 자신들이 중간지원조직으로서의 역할을 수행해야 한다는 인식이 매우 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재정적으로 열악한 상황에 직면해 있기 때문에 중앙부처에서 예산을 지원하는 사업 이외에 자체사업을 추진할 수 있는 능력이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 이들이 충남지역에서 지역산업체의 요구를 수용해서 새로운 협력적 활동을 주도하는 중간지원조직으로서의 활동을 수행하기 위해서는 우선적으로 각종 지역개발사업의 운영과정에 참여하도록 함으로써 다양한 지역산업의 문제를 다룰 수 있는 역량을 향상시키도록 하는 정책적 지원이 필요하다.
