우리나라도 2000년 들어 65세 이상의 노인인구는 7.2%를 넘어서서 본격적으로 고령화사회(aging society)에 들어섰다. "21세기는 고령자의 세기"가 된다고 해도 과언이 아니며, 2019년에는 14%가 넘어 고령사회(aged society)로 진입할 전망이다. 그러나 우리나라는 "고령자의 세기"라고 불릴 만큼 사회구조가 변화하고 있는 시점에서 노인 인구의 0.3%만이 시설에서 보호를 받고 있으며, 나머지 99.7%는 일반가정에서 생활하고 있다. 유교사회의 전통규범에 의해 99.7%의 노인들이 가족에 의해서 그들의 노년을 보내고 있으나, 핵가족화와 산업화에 따라 윤리규범이 깨어지고 있는 탈윤리시대에서, 더 이상 요보호 노인(와상노인, 중풍노인, 치매노인), 장애노인 등의 수발 및 보호는 윤리적 규범이나 가족, 가정에 의해서 충족되기는 점차 어렵게 되어 가고 있으며 극명한 한계를 보이고 있다. 이러한 사회적 상황과 가족부양체계의 변화는, 고령자를 대상으로 하는 각종 복지 시책 개발, 특히 재가노인 복지서비스의 필요성이 제기되고 있으나 우리나라는 아직 미미한 수준에 머물러 있다. 우리나라 재가노인을 위한 정책의 활성화와 서비스의 양적 확대 질적 고도화를 위해서는 첫째, 보편적으로 이용할 수 있도록 대상 범위를 확대해야 한다. 둘째, 의료서비스의 확충과 같은 전문적 서비스의 확대 실시가 요청된다. 셋째, 동일한 서비스내용에 대해서는 전달체계를 일원화할 필요가 있으며, 사업주체별로 역할을 분담하고 담당 인력별로 업무를 분담해서 전문성을 강화해야 한다. 넷째, 재가복지 서비스는 중앙과 지방의 분담에 의한 무료 서비스인 만큼 지원을 획기적으로 개선 나가며, 보편적 이용의 정도가 큰 서비스는 점차 정부지원의 서비스로 확대하되 저소득층에 대하여는 무료서비스를 제공하고 저소득층 이상에 대해서는 소득 수준에 따른 차등적 서비스 요금을 부과하는 것이 바람직하다. 그리고 보다 질 높은 서비스를 원하는 중산층 이상에 대하여는 시장 경제원리에 의한 실버산업이 활성화되어야 하며 일본에서 시행하고 있는 개호보험제의 도입방안도 적극적으로 검토되어야 할 것이다.

As the socialization of care is progressing rapidly, the necessity of community-level mental health intervention for older adults with severe social isolation and depression is also increasing. In line with the reorganization of the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults in 2020, the social relations revitalization project for the elderly living alone, which had been conducted as a pilot project in 2014~19, was expanded and reorganized into a separate specialized project within the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults. The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of the specialized service and to clarify its conceptual framework. The characteristics and conceptual framework of the specialized service were examined through a review of the process of institutionalization of the specialized service, which included analysis of related literature and the pilot projects. Finally, it discussed what to consider in order for the specialized service to proceed as intended in the future, focusing on a couple of situations that occur at the fields.

As of October 2019, 1,501 elderly living alone who used basic care services for the single elderly households for more than 3 months were sampled, and frequency analysis, technical statistical analysis, t-test, and variance analysis were conducted. The survey found that social value orientation averages 90.93, and the sense of well-being of the elderly is 71.29 points. As a result of the analysis of variance and post-hoc analysis, the well-being of the elderly was statistically significant in groups well aware of their social value orientation.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the transition of elderly's welfare service utilization and to examine the factors affecting their utilization as time passed. To solve these research questions, the behavioral model presented by Andersen and Newman(1973) was applied. Using Hallym Aging Panel data consisted of 3 waves from 2003 to 2007, autoregressive modeling and regression analysis were applied for research purposes. The results of this study were as follows; (1) The experiences of welfare service utilization were increasing gradually. The complimentary service for the aged was utilized generally, but leisure service and community service were not used in common. (2) Past experience of service affected service utilization in the following times. (3) The factors affecting older adult's service utilization were different among the types of services. Nonetheless, the factors affecting continuously during the periods were found: age as predisposing factor and area as enabling factor in the complimentary service; area and existence of spouse as enabling factor in leisure service; education as predisposing factor and service cognition as enabling factor in community service. Enabling factor has affected more consistently than other factors. The results showed that special attention should be paid to balanced regional arrangement for welfare resources and the public relation considering the elderly's intellectual level.

The purposes of this study are, 1) to explore the factors related to the family caregivers' preferences for service utilization both of the community-based welfare and health-care services, and 2) to examine the reasons why not want to use services analyzing a survey data obtained from family caregivers(n=1,000). Anderson and Newman's Behavior model was employed to examine the factors related to the preferences for service utilization. The main results are as follows. 1) Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that predisposing factor(such as age and relations with frail elderly) and enabling factor(such as economic status, secondary caregiver, informal informational support provider, etc) were significant predictor for caregivers' preference for service utilization. Contrary to an expectation, needs factor was negatively related to the preference for service. More specifically, the more they have service needs, the less they show their willingness to use community-based service both in welfare and health-care services except for care education program. 2) Caregiver identified 'family caregiving consciousness'(family should take care of frail elderly, elderly dislike be taken care of) as an important reason not want to use community services next to financial factor. These findings have several implications for policy making especially for 'public long-term care insurance' which was planned to start in 2007.
