This paper is, first of all, to explore what kinds of character are implied in Korean policies and support programme for foreign immigrants, secondly to analyze immigrants' recognition on them in terms of their types and dwelling places, and finally to suggest some measures to improve policies and support programme. Policies for foreign immigrants are often classified into three models of assimilation, of differential exclusion, and of multiculturalism, but the marginalization of foreign immigrants is suggested either as a new model or as implied in all of those models. As a result of questionary survey, it is found out that foreign immigrants, irrelevant to their type, recognize their policies as mixing those characters. Finally, multiculturalism with distributive equality and recognition justice to overcome marginationalization, network governance for foreign immigrant policies to reflect their needs and participation, and sustainable and multicultural programmes for improving regional identity, ensuring covil rights, supporting comprehensive welfare, and multicultural education are suggested as measures to improve foreign immigrants' quality of life.

최근의 치수계획은 과거 제방일변도의 획일화된 치수계획에서 탈피하여 면 개념의 다양한 치수대안을 고려하고 있다. 본 연구는 과거 홍수피해 예방을 위해 일차적으로 고려된 제방사업과 이의 대안으로서 계획빈도의 홍수발생 시 잠재적 피해예상지역에 대한 주민이주사업을 비교하여 제방사업이 갖는 정책적 효용을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 제방이 없다고 가정한 CASE I과 현 상태를 기준으로 한 CASE II로 구분하여 제방보축사업과 제방신축사업을 비교대안인 주민이주사업과 비교 평가 하였으며, 사례연구는 낙동강 본류의 황강 합류후부터 남강 합류전까지 구간을 대상으로 하였다. 제방신축사업과 보축사업에 대한 각각의 주민이주사업의 비용 대비 효과를 사례지역에 한정적으로 분석한 결과, 경제성 측면에서 주민이주사업이 전반적으로 제방사업보다 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지역적 특수성을 전제한 결론이나, 향후 치수관리를 위한 정책수립의 대상이 '하천' 보다는 '지역'에 맞추어 져야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

This study aims to understand the change of migrant policies, namely assimilation, multiculturalism and social integration, in the West through critical perspectives and to derive implications for the Korea's migrant policy from the experience of the West. In 1970s, assimilation policy was severely criticized from the limitation of cultural diversity, and multiculturalism expanded rapidly in the West focusing on the migrant's right and cultural difference. However, multiculturalism received severely criticism because it makes social isolation and segregation between mainstream society and migrants. Since 2000 social integration became the major policy for migrant incorporation, focusing migrant's attitude and practice to receive the value and culture of mainstream society with the active participation of socioeconomic activities. However, social integration policy reveal some problems which regard migrants as the object of control, and also as the object of discrimination. The experience of the Western policies suggests on the careful selection for the migrant's incorporation policies in Korea with the consideration of social inclusion of migrant, analysis on the problems of multiculturalism and social integration policy, and the necessity of mainstream society's change into the acculturation.

This research focuses on the fact that the characteristics of migration types of the youth in non-metropolitan areas vary by region and has the primary objective of comparing and analyzing the differences in determinants of each migration type. First, An exploratory analysis of the migration status and characteristics of the youth in non-metropolitan areas was conducted, and then a hierarchical logit model was used to estimate the determinants of migration types separately. The results showed that the characteristics of migration types vary by region, and each determinant of migration types is composed of different bundles of variables(individual and regional levels). In the future, policies aimed at securing young workforce in non-metropolitan areas will be more effective when they take into account various determinants of migration choices and reflect the regional context.

The purpose of this study is to systematically explain and discuss the return migration of Koreans in Central Asia to the Russian Far East. The Koreans' return migration is explained by the combination of push and pull factors inherent in the host and home countries. The structural or institutional push factors in Central Asia include the linguistic policy of a country, civil war, ethnic conflicts, while the micro ones are the Koreans' high concern of their children's education and the improvement of a socio-economic status. The macro pull factors operated in the Russian Far East are the permission to use the housing facilities and land previously controlled by military authorities and the laws of recovering the koreans' basic right and honor, while the micro ones are the networks of relatives and friends living in Central Asia and the Russian Far East. The two aspects related to the Koreans' return migration are also discussed. Firstly, the return migration of Koreans in Central Asia is interpreted as a migration of ethnic affinity. Secondly, the establishment of an autonomous district of Koreans in the Russian Far East is discussed.

As foreign immigrants are rapidly increasing, how they without previous knowledge and experience adjust themselves to local circumstances where they come to live becomes a major social issue. In order to analyze their adjustment process, this paper suggests a model which consists of relationships with local environment and people on the one hand, and of geographical knowledge and imagination on the other. The analysis of questionnaire survey based on the conceptual model suggests some findings. As there are considerable differences in the extent of their local adjustment and felt difficulties among immigration types, nationalities, and dwelling regions, foreign immigrants‘ policies should be devised proper for their type and characters.

이 논문은 다문화 가정의 구성원인 결혼이주여성들이 사회통합을 하는데 필요한 교육정책에 관한 논의인데, 그 중에서 한국사회를 구성하는 기존 구성원들과의 정보리터러시 격차해소를 위한 교육정책에 주목하였다. 지금까지 다문화 가정의 결혼이주여성들을 대상으로 한 교육과정들은 대부분 언어격차의 해소를 위한 것이었다. 기본적으로 그들에게 의사소통을 위한 언어격차의 해소도 매우 중요하다. 그러나 정보화 사회에서 정보의 활용능력과 정보의 습득이 곧 여러 가지 삶의 질이나 다양한 기회의 획득에 중요하게 작용하므로 결혼이주여성들이 빠른 사회통합을 할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 언어교육뿐만 아니라 정보리터러시 격차해소를 위한 교육정책이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 결혼이주여성들의 정보격차 해소를 위한 정보교육의 현황을 일부지역을 중심으로 파악하였다. 그리고 정보리터러시 기준에 기초하여 정보교육의 커리큘럼 개발을 위한 구성요소 및 세부항목을 추출하여 정보교육 커리큘럼 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고 정보교육의 활성화 방안에 대해 제언하였다.
