The Korea Local Administration Review

This study analyzes the energy-saving residential development based on the collaborative governance, focusing on the case of Nowon Energy Zero House. The Nowon Energy Zero housing complex construction project was completed in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Seoul, Nowon-gu, Myongji University. This project is the first case in Korea completed in downtown Seoul. In this study, the collaborative governance model is used as an analytical framework. In particular, the model of Ansell and Gash(2008), which emphasized the initial conditions for cooperation and suggested collaborative governance in which public institutions play an important role, is applied. Therefore, the starting conditions, collaborative process, institutional design, and facilitative leadership, which are the main parts of collaborative governance, are analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, the Nowon Energy Zero housing complex creation project was completed with collaborative governance. Although there are differences in the degree of each process, the starting conditions, collaborative process, institutional design, and facilitative leadership worked to enable the creation of the final outcome, Nowon Energy Zero Housing Complex. The results of the analysis are significant in that the government's role in driving the cooperation of related actors is necessary in a situation where the resource imbalance is clear, and that it presents a unique example of collaborative governance. These results provide implications for renewable energy policies, eco-friendly energy policies, and energy-saving housing policies that will be expanded in the future.
