지난 2005년 10월 노인수발보장법 공청회 이후 동 제도에 관하여 노인복지 현장, 학계, 시민사회단체, 경제계 등 우리사회의 주요 구성체 모두가 의견을 제시하고 있다. 노인수발보장제도는 우리나라 복지제도의 틀(framework)을 크게 변화시키는 제도로 각계각층의 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 작년2월 공적노인요양보장제도 실행위원회가 「공적노인요양보장제도 실시모형」을 제출한 이후 보건복지부는 5월 「노인요양보장제도 추진방안」을 제시하였고 10월에는 「노인수발보장법 제정안」을 국회에 제출하였으며, 12월에는 한 심포지엄에서 보건복지부 노인정책관이 「노인수발보장제도 추진방안」을 발표하였다. 또한 동 제도는 지난해 7월 1차 시범사업이 시작되어 올해 3월이면 끝나고, 4월부터는 2차 시범사업이 시작될 예정이다.

Introduction of new longterm care policy for elderly in Korea would change many aspects of elderly care service facilities. Especially elderly home care services like adult daycare centers will expand drastically after beginning of longterm care insurance. The purpose of this study is to estimate demand of adult daycare centers by comparing with the U.S and Japanese cases. Korean government is expecting that adult daycare centers will expand ten times within 4 years. This estimate is exceeding the facility demand estimate of the U.S. and Japan. The results of population study and expecting growth rate of adult daycare centers in Seoul indicate that more than 300 centers, 4 times of the number of existing centers, are in need based on Seoul elderly population in 2004. To supply these numbers of facilities in short period, more in depth study should be followed. Existing adult daycare facilities' in Seoul were analyzed by their building and management types. Interior spaces of adult daycare centers in Korea are similar to the U.S. and Japan in space arrangements but much smaller in size. In depth study of space programming as well as overall demand survey of adult daycare centers is urgently in need for more realistic expansion of adult daycare centers.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the structure and characteristics of the care manager systems of the long term care insurance in Japan's social welfare institution. In order to realize such purposes, this paper develops the discussion process as follows. Firstly, this paper examines the developmental processes and contents of the long term care insurance system and the care plan services which are the services to aid the utilization of long term care services. Secondly, this paper describes the care manager which conducts the role of care plan services intentively. Thirdly, this paper makes the research framework which is formulated as the legislative views about the care manager on the long term care insurance act, task systems, recruitment and retraining systems, and research data of care manager. Summarizing the contents of care manager's circumstances and characteristics about the long term care insurance, the results are explained as follows. that is to define care manager's status as the components of care plan center, to control indirectly the activities of care manager's care plan by operating care service center and care plan center in equal corporate, to set role and task ambiguously, to recognize care manager's role as the attributed role of care service center, to give licence and qualification in local government. Therefore, it's difficult to realize care plan depending on speciality and neutrality for the service user. The essential parts for the reform of care manager systems may be to separate care service center and care plan center and to redefine the task and role of care manager, the role and task of which should be put on care plan services.
