The purpose of this study is to explore how health and health behavior factors moderate the relation between socio-economic position(SEP) and Korean elderly people's self-rated health status. The data sources are from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(2008). The analysis sample consists of 4,040 cases. Analysis of the results shows that health characteristics such as ADL, MMSE, geriatric depression, and pain are significant predictors of self-rated health status. In addition, exercise and drinking alcohol also prove to be factors influencing self-rated health status. Health factor such as MMSE and health behavior factors such as drinking alcohol served as moderators of the influences of SEP on one's self-rated health status. For example, higher MMSE provides a slight increase to the positive relationship between SEP and self-rated health status. In addition, those who responded yes to drinking alcohol, compared to those who responded no, provides an increase to the positive relationship between SEP and one's self-rated health status.

The incidence of fire in underground utility tunnel is lower than other fires, but the damage caused by fire can cause social loss due to social management paralysis as well as economic loss. Hereupon, this paper presents the results of an empirical test on the construction of the underground utility tunnel condition monitoring system using the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. For this reason, a verification test was conducted by connecting a inductive coupler 200 Mbps power line communication modem with insertion loss characteristics of $-6{\pm}2dB$ to the installed the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. As a result, We confirmed sending/receiving of IP cameras up to 500 m. Therefore, it is judged that it is possible to construct a condition monitoring system for underground utility tunnel by using the leakage coaxial cables installed in the underground utility tunnels without installing additional communication lines for data transmission.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors which effect the intention to reemploy after the retirement and the mediation effect of the social capitalism for retired and prospective retired baby boomers. Starting from 2010, baby boomers have been retiring at a large scale. However retirement at a large scale without securing provision for fiancial wise in later life can lead to many issues regarding social and fiancial wise such as instability of labour market and increase of spending in society welfare cost and such on. Change of individual's self prospective and institutional support to help prepare find new career for next 3decade after the retirement needs to be concretized. The results of this study suggest that the management orientation affects the social capital positively and the autonomous orientation does not affect the relationship between career orientation and social capital. In terms of the relationship between career orientation and reemployment intention, management orientation does not affect the intention of the entrepreneur but affects the reemployment intention positively, while the autonomous intention affects neither entrepreneurial intention nor reemployment intention (+), Respectively. Social capital has a positive effect on the intention of reemployment, and the mediating effect of social capital on the relationship between career orientation and reemployment. Also, while in the work force, potential retiring baby boomer workers should be systematically supported with education, training and reemployment program based on individual's career orientation and allowing them to stay for a longer period in the labour market can be the implication to the solution for the economic stability and increasing social cost such as public pensions.

The purpose underlying this study is to evaluate tourism development impacts from analyzing residents' and tourists' perceptions. Questionnaire surveys were carried on Kanhyun area in Kangwondo, Korea. Generally, residents in the area perceive positive economic impacts due to tourism development, however levels of employment and economic independence of the locality are perceived low. Sociocultural changes also bring negative aspects in life and residents' awareness of environmental impacts show far more negative. Tourists' satisfaction levels with the area and the management attributes are relatively high. Some suggestions are made based on the result of the survey to help the area to be more successful as a tourist destination. More comprehensive research is needed for the future study.

인간 궁극의 목적은 ''행복한 생활''이며 이를 위한 가장 중요한 조건이 ''건강''이라는데 이론을 제기할 사람이 없다. 그간 우리나라는 1970년대를 거치면서 절대빈곤을 해결하느라고 경제개발계획을 수립하는 등 최선의 노력을 해 왔으며, 따라서 보건정책은 등한시 해 왔던 것이 사실이며 이는 극히 당연한 일이라고 생각한다. 최근 경제 개발 계획의 성공적인 시행으로 중진국의 대열에 서게 되었다. 산업 전략이 빚는 인구 이동의 불가피성, 인구의 도시집중 현상과 사회 구조의 변화는 생활방식 뿐 아니라 의식구조의 변화와 가치관의 변화를 가져왔으며 질병 양상과 건강 문제의 양상을 변화시켰다. 이로 말미암은 경제적, 지역적, 심리적 및 문화적 불균형 상태는 건강관호와 보건의료제도에도 불균형 상태를 갖고 와 불가피하게 된다. 이러한 불균형은 해소되어야 하는 시점에 온 것이며 정부가 목표로 하는 복지사회 건설을 위한 가장 중요한 보건 정책에 정부가 역점을 두게 된 것은 극히 당연하다. 이에 1976년 발족한 한국 보건 개발 연구원이 1977년부터 시작한 시법 사업을 실시한 결과, 지역 주민의 반응, 수용성, 의료 이용도, 의료비 절감 등을 분석하고 그 효율성을 인정받아 1981년 12월 31일 농어촌 보건의료를 위하여 특별 조치법을 제정하고 의료시설, 요원의 도시편중 교통의 불편, 고가의 의료 수가로 소외되어 오던 보건의료 취약지역 주민에게 기본권으로서의 기초 건강 서비스를 제공하기에 이르렀다. 이 건강 관호 제도에 그 바탕을 두며 보건 진료원이 그 척추의 역할을 담당한다. 1981년도와 1982년도에 선발되어 교육을 받고 배치된 738명의 보건 진료원은 38만명의 벽오지주민에게 현재 의료의 손길을 펴고, 질병의 예방을 위한 조치를 취하며 건강의 유지, 증진을 위하여 활동하고 있다. 건강관호는 시설이나 장비가 하는 것이 아니고 건물이 하는 것은 더욱 아니며, 지식과 기술을 갖춘 자격있는 의료인이 소명의식을 갖고 임할 때만 가능하다. 오랜숙원이었던 보건의료의 지역간 경제, 사회적, 문화적 계층간의 불균형을 해소하고 온 국민에게 기본권으로서의 건강을 갖도록 하는 이 새로운 제도는 패기에 넘치는 열정을 지닌 많은 젊은 간호학도들의 참여없이는 성공을 기대할 수 없다. 어떠한 제도이건 새로운 제도가 사회에 정착되기까지는 여러 해 동안의 시행착오와 고난이 반드시 수반되어 왔다는 사실을 우리는 역사를 통해 알고 있다. 그러나 그 제도가 다수를 위해 정의롭고 바람직한 제도일 때 반드시 성공을 거두었다는 사실도 알고 있다.

Most previous studies on income inequality have limitations in reflecting recent changes and heterogeneity in women's working patterns and their family structure by regarding them as a homogeneous group. This study aims to investigate the trends of income inequality among women during the past 9 years since 1997 and to examine what is the most influential factor on these changes. The results show that the overall trend of income inequality among women is decreasing due to the income decrease of the middle class women and the income increase of the lower class. Among various factors, education, age, and marital status are key factors affecting inequality changes during this period. This study has the following policy implications: first, it is necessary to implement the child care services for the divorced and separated women, who are more likely to fall in poverty. Second, the increase of the basic pension benefits is needed particularly for the poor old women, who is more likely live longer in a desperate status.

Housing is an essential element of human living environments. The type of housing occupancy can vary based on age, family composition, occupation, education level, and economic situation. In this study, we used social survey statistics to investigate the relationship between housing ownership types and individual and societal characteristics. The research findings revealed that apartment residency rates were high across all age groups. Married individuals tended to have higher apartment residency rates compared to unmarried individuals. Additionally, as the number of household members and generations increased, so did the likelihood of apartment residency. Overall, higher income levels and stable employment were associated with a preference for homeownership. However, there was no significant correlation between homeownership and education level or employment status. National and local authorities should focus on housing supply that aligns with the purchasing capacity and characteristics of potential homebuyers.

간호사업은 1970년대 후반부터 이제까지의 병원중심-환자중심의 간호사업을 수행해 오다가 지역사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업인 건강간호사업으로 전환되기 시작하였다. 세계보건기구에서도 지역사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업인 일차건강관리사업을 중점적으로 지원하기 시작한 것이다. 이러한 역사적 전환의 배경과 실태에 관하여 문헌고찰을 하여 앞으로 국민건강사업 체계에 대한 논의에 참고자료가 되게 하고자 본 논문을 시도하였다. 본 논문에서 얻어진 결과를 다음과 같이 요약한다. 고도의 과학문명의 발달과 물질적 풍요로 특징짓는 현대사회속에서도 인류의 건강문제는 영원히 충족되지 못한 상태로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 전통적으로 60년대 중반까지는 의료지식 및 기계공업의 발달과 이를 뒷받침할 재정적 지원속에 세계적으로 치료의학분야에 획기적인 발전을 가져왔다. 다른 한편으로는 건강을 태생의 권리라고 규정하여 여러나라에서 사회보장제대로써 의료시해의 균점을 위한 각가지 방도를 마련하기에 이르렀다. 그리하여 60년대말기부터 70년대로 넘어오면서 치료의학의 발달만으로는 의료수가가 앙등되어 모든 국민이 이용할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 나아가서는 모든 국민의 건강문제를 해결하기는 어렵다는 사실을 발견하기 시작하였다. 또한 지역사회의 건강문제를 요인별로 따져보면 복잡하여 사회경제적, 문화적, 환경적, 유전적 제요인과도 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있기 때문에 신체적인 질병의 치료만이 지역사회 건강문제를 해결하는 길이 아님을 알게 되었다 그리고 지역사회의 건강문제를 해결하기 위해서는 일차보건의료사업에 중점을 두어 노력하는 것이 가장 합리적인 개선방안이라는 의견이 경험적으로 이론적으로 뒷받침되기 시작하였다. 이러한 사조는 지역사회 건강문제가 복잡한 것과 같이 그 접근방법에 있어서도 여러보건요원이 팀이 되어 임해야만 하며 그중에서도 간호팀의 활동이 중추적인 역할을 담당해야 한다고 여러 전문가들은 주장하고 있다. 따라서 앞으로의 간호사업의 방향은 지역 사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업이 실시되어야만 국민건강문제 해결에 기여하게 될 것으로 고찰되었다.

The purpose of this study is firstly to understand socio-demographic and health characteristics and economic characteristics of elderly single households aged over 60 and secondly to examine the relations between these factors and level of life satisfaction, especially differentiated relations by income level. We used the data drawn from third KREIS (Korean Retirement and Income Study) surveyed by National Pension Research Institute. The statistical methods used for the analyses were t-test, X², multiple regression analysis. For the whole sample, the results showed that the life satisfaction is positively related to higher income, better physical and emotional health status and having a religion. When we conducted the regression on two groups, the religion and income level were no longer significant factors. On the other hand, being a woman and enjoying good health contributed to life satisfaction for lower-income group while having a job and enjoying good health played a positive role in life satisfaction for higher-income group.

This study was to investigate the differences of functional health status and medical service experience and needs between general and vulnerable older people in community. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive research. The data obtained through direct visit surveys from November to December 2016. The target population of the study was older people over 65 years old, the final study subjects were 444 older people residing in one district of Seoul. The chi-square test was conducted to confirm the difference in their functional health areas and medical service experiences, and the necessity of medical service utilization in accordance to the social class. In the experience of abnormality in functional health, the vulnerable older people had higher experience in cognitive function, nutrition, hydration, pain, and falling than the general older people. The rate of experience of using medical service to solve the cognitive function problem for general older people was 31.9%, higher than that of the vulnerable older people. In contrast, the medical service utilization needs of the vulnerable older people in the pain management category was significantly higher than that of the general older people. In setting policy of public medical service programs for general and vulnerable older people in community may be differentially developed based on this study. In order to improve the medical accessibility of the vulnerable older people, public medical institutions should be actively supported to overcome obstacles to medical use due to economic barriers.
