2023년 우리나라에 발생한 재난은 남부지방의 가뭄, 태풍 카눈에 의한 폭우, 7월~9월 폭염 등의 자연재난과 4월 5일 분당 정자교 붕괴, 4월 29일 검단신도시 붕괴사고, 7월 13일 대구 염색산업단지 황산 누출 등의 사회재난이 발생하였다. 이전 2022년에는 022년 10월 29일, 서울 이태원역 부근에 대규모 인파가 한번에 몰리며 압사사고가 발생하여 159명이 목숨을 잃고 196명의 부상자가 발생하였다. 이처럼 다양한 형태로 발생하는 재난에 대하여 우리나라는 「헌법」과 「재난 및 안전관리 기본법」에서 재난으로부터 국민의 생명·신체 및 재산과 국가의 피해를 줄이기 위해 노력하여야 한다고 명시하고 있다. 재난은 다양한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 학자들의 일반적 견해는 누적성, 불확실성, 복잡성, 인지성 등의 특성을 들고 있다(재난관리론, 2020). 특히, 사회재난은 발생위치, 시점, 피해, 규모를 예측하기가 상대적으로 매우 어렵기에(장대원 외, 2019) 불확실성의 특성을 강하게 보여주고 있다. 이러한 사회재난의 특성은 자연재난과 비교하여 사람들에게 물리적·심리적 영향을 크게 미칠 뿐만 아니라 단기간에 회복하기 어려운 특성을 지닌다(신재헌 외, 2020). 이에 대하여 많은 국민들은 심각한 사회재난이 발생할 때마다 정부차원의 적극적 재난관리 및 통제능력 향상을 요구하고 있으나, 사회재난 특성 상 특정 기관 중심으로 대응하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다(신재헌 외, 2020). 우리나라 경찰은 2021년 7월부터 자치경찰제도를 실시하며 국민의 생명·신체 및 재산의 보호, 범죄예방, 수사 및 질서유지업무 이외에 국민들의 봉사·서비스 행정 요구의 증대로 인한 적극적·능동적 경찰활동으로 변화하게 되었다(조호대, 2014). 이에 따라 경찰은 경찰의 재난관리체계를 확립하고, 경찰의 재난관리에 관한 사항을 규정함을 목적으로 2012년 「경찰 재난관리규칙」을 제정하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경찰의 재난 발생 시 역할이 무엇이며, 특히 사회재난 시 경찰의 적극적 대응 방안은 무엇인가에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze factors which influence social and economic performance of social enterprises, and to examine the correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study was conducted following the hypothesis that the organizational characteristics(organizational type, certification type, certification year, social service supply type, and external grants) of social enterprises affect social and economic performance, and that significant correlation exists between social and economic performance. This study collected the disclosure materials of 219 social enterprises certified between 2007- 2014 from the directory of the Korean Social Enterprise Promotion Agency. The study results are as follows: First, organizational characteristics affect social performance(i.e. jobs for the vulnerable classes). In addition, certification year and external grants had a positive effect on social performance. Second, the organizational characteristics affect the economic performance(i.e. sales), and certification year and external grants had a positive effect on economic performance. However, organizational type had a negative effect on the economic performance(i.e. sales). Third, analysis found a positive correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study suggests the need to diversify support policies according to the number of authentication years in order to promote self-reliance and sustainability by maximizing the social and economic performance of social enterprises.

This paper offers a method to measure the distribution of niches of two types of social organizations, Internet sites and voluntary organizations, based on the socio-demographic characteristics of their members. It examines the niches of Internet sites based on age and education of site visitors and those of voluntary organizations based on age, education, and occupational prestige of their members. The method to measure organizational niches makes it possible not only to understand the niche width of organizations but also to examine the extent to which organizations potentially compete and coexist. This leads to a method to recognize the way organizational environments influence the performance of individual organizations ecologically.

Social enterprises provide the job and social service to the weak classes at the same time. As the weak classes such as the aged and disabled who are the main consumers of social enterprises are restricted in moving and gradual approach, so social service providers are required to decide the location by considering their gradual approach more than anythingelse. Therefore, in case of deciding the location of social enterprises it is more important than anythingelse for the social enterprises to select the location by considering the demand of social service of the region preferentially unlike the principles of deciding the location of ordinary enterprises. However, it has been expected that the main causes of various supplying and consuming sides which are provided not only to the ordinary but also the social enterprises might be distributed indiscriminately and unequally in the space of national land by diverse main causes such as the kinds of the products, concentration of the consuming sides, manpower distribution and others, and in this study, what have been used for the examination of regional distribution characteristics of social enterprises which have been operated by being distributed regionally were LQ technique, and the regional distribution characteristics of social enterprises of Korea have been suggested after having them analyzed. This study has the aim of providing the suggestions for the establishment of the policies for the promotion of social enterprises in the future by clarifying the present situations and characteristics of regional distribution of social enterprises of Korea which have been functioning as the suppliers of private social service, and what are required at this time are the political support and social agreement for the location and growth through continuous studies.
