This study was performed to identify neighborhood deprivation indicators associated with health and to test the contextual effects of those indicators on individual health. This study calculated SMR based on Dong district and see the differences of prediction across deprivation index and indicators. Then, a multi-level analysis using HGLM was conducted to test the contextual effect of neighborhood depreivation indicators on health after controlling for demographic and socioeconomic status of individuals. The results showed that regional SMR had strong correlations with land price, education, welfare recipients, female household proportion in Dong district but failed to show the correlation with individual health and neighborhood deprivation. Individual health was only associated with individual level of demographic and socioeconomic status. That is, spatial dispersion of illness is understood as the distribution of social classes in terms of socioeconomic status of individuals, not the contextual aspects of community.

현재 전 세계적으로 이상기후로 인해 자연재해가 증가하고 있으며, 우리나라 또한 집중호우, 태풍, 홍수 등의 자연재해로 인해 경제적 손실뿐만 아니라 인명피해도 증가하는 추세이다. 2014년도에만 약 2천억원의 재산피해가 발생 하였고, 5천억원 이상이 피해를 복구하는데 사용되었으며, 피해금액과 복구금액은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 최근 발생한 토사재해의 경우에는 인구가 밀집한 도심지에서 발생하여 매우 단기간에 치명적인 피해를 야기 시키고, 사회적 관심을 크게 일으키기도 했다. 이처럼 자연재해가 인구가 밀집되어있고, 사회적재화가 많은 도심에서 발생할 경우 그 피해규모는 더욱 커질 수 있으므로 이에 대한 적절한 대응방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대구지역에 대한 토사재해를 물리적 취약성과 사회적 취약성으로 구분하여 평가하고 이를 종합하여 평가하였다. 물리적 취약성은 Flow-R 모형을 사용하여 토사재해의 발생 가능성 및 정도를 평가하고, 발생지역의 건물 구분에 따라 그 취약성의 정도를 달리하였다. 사회적 취약성의 경우는 대구지역의 집계구 단위를 기준으로 하여, 다양한 사회적 지표에 계층분석법(Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP)을 적용하여 지표에 대한 가중치를 산정하였다. 이후 물리적 취약성과 사회적 취약성의 값을 0에서 1사이로 정규화 시키고 정규화된 값을 다시 곱하여 0에서 1사이로 정규화 하여 취약성 정도로 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 대구지역에 대한 토사재해의 취약성을 평가함으로써 대구 도심지에서 발생할 수 있는 토사재해 위험구역을 선정하고 방재시설을 준비하는데 있어서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Based on the theory of news media's agenda-setting function, this study analyzed Korean public's most important problems (MIP) and the degree of public consensus on the importance of those MIP's. The analysis was done in terms of both time and social strata. According to the findings, economy, social welfare, and political issues were in the for tier of the MIP list. The analysis of issue diversity (H-statistic) also demonstrated a relatively high degree of agenda consensus among Korean public despite some fluctuation in the consensus level, which appears to be higher than that among the American public. A decrease in the degree of agenda consensus with the passage of time appealed to be a general phenomenon across diverse social strata. However, the degrees of consensus-building were different in light of education, socioeconomic status, and the size of residential area. Those who are more educated, have more economic power, and live in a larger city had more chances to experience agenda consensus. These results seem to be basically attributable to the presumed positive relationship between these demographic variables and media exposure. The different degrees of public consensus according to the different levels of those demographic variables suggest that a closer investigation into the various influences on the importance of public issues among the respondents should be done in future studies.

Smoking is one of the important public health concerns because it is preventable causes regarding individuals' negative health consequences and increased social and economic cost. However, few studies have examined longitudinal patterns of stages of changes(SOC) in smoking behaviors among the general population. The purpose of the study is to explore the latent patterns of SOC over time among Korean adult smokers using the 2008-2016 Korea Welfare Panel Study. A repeated measure latent class analysis is employed in the present study. The finding of the present study are as follows: First, four latent groups were identified: (1) action/maintenance stage(33.6%), (2) contemplation/preparation to action/maintenance stage(14.8%), (3) continuously contemplation/preparation stage(29.6%), and (4) continuously pre-contemplation stage(22.1%). Second, the results of a multinomial logistic regression found that socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with the identified longitudinal patterns of smoking behaviors. Compared to a continuously pre-contemplation stage, higher levels of depressive symptoms and drinking behavior were associated with increased odds of being in action/maintenance stage. The findings of the present study highlight that a tailored intervention is needed for individuals with continuously pre-contemplation stage and contemplation stage.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Korean version of the Classism Attitude Scale for college students (K-CAS) that measures stereotypes and prejudices about socioeconomic class(SES). In study 1, preliminary items were developed through reviewing classism related theories and literatures, analyzing qualitative data by using Consensus Qualitative Method-modified(CQR-M) and getting experts' consultation. With 440 college students data, exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted with 14 items in study 1. In study 2, a confirmatory factor analysis and validity analysis were conducted with 400 college students. As a result, two factor structures, upper classism attitude and downward classism attitude, were confirmed. With the higher level of test-retest reliability, the criterion validity was confirmed by the significant correlations among age, subjective SES, the general belief in a just world, negative affects (depression and anxiety), hostility, and K-CAS. The incremental validity was also confirmed that K-CAS scores significantly accounted for 5% of total variation in scores of negative affects(depression and anxiety) in addition to the variables, such as age, subjective SES, house income, and the general belief in the just world. The result of this study is significant in that the developed and validated K-CAS in this study can be a useful tool for further research and prevention and intervention program development related to classism.

세상이 디지털화 되면서 많은 사람들은 그 수혜자가 되어 과거에 우리가 상상만으로 꿈꾸던 것이 이제는 현실 속에서 일어나고 있다. 바로 꿈의 시대, 디지털 시대가 도래한 것이다. 그러나 이러한 디지털 시대는 과거의 경제적 빈부의 격차에서 정보 접근의 빈부 격차라는 새로운 모순점을 만들어 내기도 했다. 즉 이는 정보에 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 인터넷을 비롯한 첨단 미디어를 이용할 수 있는 이용자가 제한되어 있기 때문에 발생하는 것이다. 소위 말하는 디지털 시대의 소외계층인 이들은 일반 가정생활을 비롯한 여러 사회 문화에서 소외가 되어지고 있는 실정이다. 이중 노년층에 대한 디지털 소외 현상도 커다란 사회문제로 대두되고 있는 것 또한 사실이다. 그러나 최근들어 몇몇 민간단체에서 이들을 소외계층에서 벗어나게 하고자 하는 노력에 의해 그 결과가 나타나고 있어 화제가 되고 있다. 바로 이러한 인터넷에 은빛 물결을 만드는 사람들은 다름 아닌 실버넷 운동본부이다.

Since after the 1986 economic reform policy(Doi Moi), the central highland in Vietnam has transformed into one of the largest coffee producing areas. The transformation had been supported by mass migration of ethnic Kinhs from the coastal lowland. It did not take long for the Kinh migrants to be the ethnic majority in the region. Meanwhile the growth of coffee industry entailed in socio-economic disparity, specially between Kinh migrants and native ethnic minorities. The disparity has becomed obvious not only between coffee farming Kinhs and non-coffee farming ethnic minorities but also between coffee farming Kinhs and ehtnic minorities. The previous literatures highlight the lack of human and social capital and the lagging modernization in ethnic minority societies. However, they fall short in showing the explicit processes why ethnic minority coffee farmers earn less than ethnic majority counterparts. With a case study of Dak Lak province, this research attempts to show the reason why there is income gap between Kinh and ethnic minority Ede coffee farmers by comparing their ways of producing coffee and selling their products. The results show that Ede's land productivity is significantly lower than Kinh's. It is because Ede farmers use less fertilizer due to the shortage of the capital. Also they often get into debt for coffee production and should pay it back right after the harvest. It deprives them of chance to raise earning by selling the coffee beans at a higher price.
