Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the regional distribution of the number of social welfare facilities per 100,000 population by using the concentration index(CI) and to evaluate the relationship with the local welfare environment. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the distribution of social welfare facilities between urban and rural area were distributed in rural areas. And concentration of rural area was gradually decreasing. Second, the concentration index of the social welfare institution was calculated as the negative index. Therefore, social welfare facilities are concentrated in rural areas. However, the absolute value of concentration index decreased. Finally, there are many social welfare facilities in areas with poor economic conditions, low incomes, low welfare budget input, and poor social demolition indicators. In the future, the relationship between inequality of regional distribution of welfare resources and the relationship between local welfare environment should be continuously monitored.

본 연구는 인구 10만명 당 사회복지시설수의 지역분포를 집중지수(CI)를 활용하여 시계열로 분석하고 지역복지환경과의 관계를 평가하여 균등한 복지자원 분포를 위한 근거자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 분석결과와 함의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도시와 농어촌간 사회복지시설의 분포차이를 시계열적으로 분석한 결과 농어촌지역에 사회복지시설이 많이 분포하고 있었으며, 농어촌 집중현상은 점차 감소하고 있었다. 둘째, 인구밀도 지역구분에 따른 사회복지시설 집중지수를 산출한 결과 집중지수가 10년간 꾸준히 음(-)의 값으로 나타나서 농어촌 지역에 사회복지시설이 집중된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 집중지수 절대 값이 감소추세를 보이고 있어서 집중현상은 줄어들고 있었다. 끝으로 지역복지환경과의 관계분석결과 경제여건이 나쁜 지역, 저소득층이 많은 지역, 복지예산 투입이 적은 지역, 사회해체 관련 지표가 나쁜 지역에 사회복지시설이 많이 분포하고 있었다. 대체로 지역복지환경을 고려한 사회복지시설 분포가 이루어지고 있는 것으로 평가된다. 향후 복지자원 지역분포의 불평등과 지역복지환경과의 관계를 지속적으로 모니터링하여 사회복지자원이 지역별로 균형있게 배분될 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다.
