The aim of this study was to identify the utilization of health services and factors influencing the quality of life(QOL) of migrant workers. The participants were 135 migrant workers in Korea. Data was collected from September 10th 2012 to November 15th 2012. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff' test, and hierarchical multiple regression. Immigrant workers experienced difficulty in using health services and had a $14.25{\pm}2.01$ QOL, which was relatively low. The factors influencing QOL were the length of stay in Korea, residence areas, and satisfaction with health services. Final regression model accounted for 16.7% of the variance in QOL. The satisfaction level with health services was the most influential factors in the level of the QOL. Therefore, diverse strategies should be developed to enhance the satisfaction with health services in Korea migrant workers.

A case study has been conducted on the changes in the identity and agency of international marriage migrant women who experienced a shift from a immigrant worker to a foreign spouse and a Korean citizen. The life histories of the eight female migrants living in Gumi area, a representative inland industrial complex in Korea, have been investigated by in-depth interview. The aim is to examine how the female migrants reconstruct and interpret their lives. The results reveal that the identy of a female migrant is flexible depending on her social positionality. The identities established from the past experiences in their native countries have been changed by their situations and conditions in Korea. The female immigrants recognize that their problems have been an important issue both in government policy and mass media. However, the female migrants express a strong revolt against the fact that they are considered as underclass victims or innocent people from underdeveloped countries. This implies their ambivalence toward international marriage that they selected subjectively. There is a finding to show a new possibility; the Transnational Marriage & Family Support Center supported by Government may provide a good ground for the female migrants to be a active group agent. The results illustrate that the international marriage migrant women could not be classified into a single group as wives. Called for are diverse researches reflecting the complex situations of migrant women.

한국의 성산업에 외국에서 이주해온 여성들이 유입되기 시작한 것은 1990년대 중반부터이다. ‘한국외국인관광시설업협회’는 1996년부터 예술흥행사증 발급을 편법적으로 활용하여 필리핀 여성들과 구 소련계 여성들을 성매매 목적으로 도입하였다. 그 후 한국정부는 외국인 공연허가제 규제를 완화의 일환으로 폐지하고, 외국인 연예인을 수입하는 절차를 대폭 간소화하여 인력수입업자들은 일정한 시설요건만 갖추면 쉽게 근로자파견사업허가를 받도록 하였다. 즉, 국내에서 일하는 외국인 연예인은 국내공연 기획사에 고용된 근로자로서 공연업소에 파견되는 근로자로 자리매김한 것이다. 그러나 그들은 실상 공연을 하는 것보다 성적 서비스를 하도록 강요당하며 인권의 사각지대에 놓여 있다.

The population concentration in the Capital region of Korea has become an important issue for the pursuit of the balanced regional human capital development. Considering migration both as a geographic and a social movement, migration to the capital region could be examined in the push factors and the selective migrant characteristics from the out-migration region. Their relative importance reveals that age and education level are important in almost all years, but the importance of the percentage of manufacturing sector and rural/urban region moves to the years of education, the percentage of unskilled occupation and manufacturing sector and unemployment ratio recently. Since the brain drain has been occurring under the highly unbalanced regional development in Korea, the results suggest that regional human capital investment should be accompanied with enlarging quality employment opportunities to reap the benefits.

In mobile database system, transactions processing schemes address in ones using a static coordinator and coordinator migration. This apply coordinator migration mechanism which perform the transaction in new database server when posed to be the transaction service handoff. That apply static coordinator mechanism which perform the transaction in database server to begin the transaction when posed to be the transaction service handoff. In this paper, a scheme-independent simulation model has been developed in order to support comparative performance studies of mobile transaction processing schemes. And this paper describes the model in detail and presents simulation results which were obtained for what it believe to be the performance evaluation of the mobile transaction processing schemes. Finally, the mobile transaction processing schemes will improve system performance by minimizing the transmission of message for processing the transactions in mobile database system.

One of the most interesting points in the era of globalization and transnationalism is the movement of people, namely migration. This research aims to explain the discourse of marginalization on Korean-Chinese by Korean merchants as the migrants expand their shops in the Chinese Food Culture Street. The Chinese Food Culture Street has been formed by Korean-Chinese restaurants and shops for the process of differentiation from the Garibong-Daelim area. Korean merchants in the street are not opposed to the influx of Korean-Chinese into Korea, however they do not want to the influx of them into the Jayang area. As the influx of Korean-Chinese into this street has increased, so the Korean merchants in the street have marginalized them as dangerous element for local security, as immoral beings cling to their business, and as the main reason for the regional underdevelopment. However, this marginalization of Korean-Chinese makes difficult to understand the real change of local area, because there has been some positive effects by the influx of them such as the improvement of surrounding environment and the elevation of local imagination. This research clearly suggest that the marginalization of migrants by major society is from the fixed idea and prejudice, and this research suggest the need to further study on the occupation and change of local by migrants.
