이 연구의 목적은 중국의 도시화율을 재구성하고 그것을 바탕으로 과잉/과소 도시화 논쟁을 재점검하는 것이다. 연구는 과거에 발표된 도시화율에 비하여 2000년 센서스 보고서에 발표된 36.01%의 도시화율이 신뢰할만한 수치인가하는 질문에서 출발한다. 여기에 대한 답은 부정적이다. 따라서 이 연구는 유엔의 도시/농촌 인구성장 예측기법을 사용하여, 도시화율에 관한 두 세트의 시계열 자료를 재구성한다, 이 연구는 그 중 하나인 1982~2000년 자료를 바탕으로 과잉/과소 도시화 문제의 성격을 해명한다. 이 연구는 1인당 국민소득과 도시화의 관계를 해명하기 위한 두 종류의 회귀모형을 개발한다. 세계은행의 자료를 바탕으로 전세계의 경제발전과 도시화 수준에 관계에 관한 회귀방정식을 추정하고, 선형방정식보다 로그방정식이 예측력이 높음을 확인한다. 로그방정식의 추정결과에 따르면, 중국은 1978년 개혁${\cdot}$개방정책 이전에는 과잉 도시화되었고, 최근에 들어 오히려 도시화의 지체로 인한 과소 도시화의 문제가 통계적으로 유의미한 현상이 되고 있다. 분석의 결과는 중국이 1978년 시장경제를 도입한지 15년이 지난 이후에야 도시화 지체현상이 나타나고 있음에 주목하면서, 중국의 각종 도시정책이 도시발전에 강력한 장애물로 규제력을 행사하였음을 강조한다.

This paper attempts to explore recent socio-demographic changes of the ethnic Korean population in Yanbian autonomous prefecture. Due to rapid decrease in the level of fertility and population ageing, Korean minority society in China has been in a process of profound transition after the introduction of the market economy and establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China. The changes in demographic behaviors and in the structure of population appear to be much faster among Koreans than Hans. Results from the 2000 population census reveal that the Korean population in Yanbian, where ethnic Koreans are most densely populated in China, has been in a decreasing trends in absolute numbers and in its proportion to the total population. The growing tendency of regional mobility for work and for marriage, rapid expansion of residential areas, serious crisis of ethnic schools of Korean community, and weakening social integration and ethnic identification of Koreans in Yanbian are discussed in this study. It is expected that socio-demographic transition of Korean society in Yanbian will be even more drastic over the coming decades. The rapid changes in demographic behaviors and in the structure of population has major consequences and implications for every sphere of human life, and will present enormous challenges for the status of Korean minority society in China. Along with various statistical data on Yanbian, micro-level data as well as published reports from the 1990 Chinese population census for Yanbian and the 2000 Chinese population census are analyzed in this study. In addition to sex ratios and age ratios, various indices are calculated to analyze the characteristics and accuracy of the data from the 1990 and 2000 population censuses of China.

이 논문은 중궁의 가족적 특성과 츨상력의 관계를 보다 면밀하게 알아보기 위해 사회 문화적 특성을 근간으로 하는 가구유형을 분류, 이들간의 출산수준을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 1990년에 실시된 제 4 차 중국인구센서스 자료 중에서 조선족이 밀집하여 거주하고 있는 길림성내 연변 조선족자치주의 50% 표본자료를 활용하였다. 가구유형별 출산수준을 분석하기 위해 자료를 가구구성특성에 따라 네가지 유형으로 재구성하였다. 가족경제의 생산단위와 세대구성을 기준으로 고립형, 병렬형, 직계형, 전통형의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족을 중심으로 비교해 보았다. 이를 통해 농가와 비농가의 가구형태 또는 세대구성의 성격아 출산수준과 갖는 상관관계와 이에 영향을 미치는 주요 결정요인들을 파악하는데 중점을 두었다. 또한 중국의 사회 경제적요인과 결부하여 전통적으로 유지되던 가족관이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지를 민족별 출산수준을 통해 비교해 보았다. 연구결과 가부장적 가족주의를 해체하고 집단적 공동생산 체제를 대체시키려는 중국의 사회주의 정책이 현실적으로는 가족중심의 생산체제와 전통적 가족주의를 변화시키지 못한 것으로 보인다. 특히 가구유형에 따른 출산수준의 편차는 두 민족간에 차이를 보여 주었다. 한족이 여성의 직업이나 교육수준에 따라 가구유형별 출산수준의 편차가 크게 변화되는 것과는 달리 조선족은 비교적 전통적인 세대관 이 강조되는 다가구 유형에서 높은 출산수준을 나타내는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이는 중국의 인구정책과 경제개방 시행과정에서 약소민족인 조선족의 저출산력과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 이에 따라 가구 유형별 출산수준에 대한 영향력이 한족에 비해 적었던 것으로 지적할수 있다.

This paper attempts to explore the relation between health care availability and child mortality among ethnic groups with different cultural traditions of sex preference. Micro-data from the 1990 Census of China for Yanbian and Xishuangbanna Prefectures are used. Based on the analysis of data for Koreans, Hans, and Dais in these prefectures, a new model explaining the relation between sex preference, health care. and differentials in child mortality is proposed in this paper. In societies, where health care is easily available, the level of child mortality is not likely to be a function of sex preference. In societies where there is little availability of health care, members of ethnic groups with strong sex preference do whatever possible to assure survival of their children of the preferred sex. But actions to assure survival of children of the sex not preferred by their parents depend on the costs involved and other considerations. Therefore, the level of child mortality for the preferred sex is likely to be substantially lower than that of the not-preferred sex. However, as availability of health care improves and the cost of obtaining health care becomes lower, survival of children of the not-preferred sex are likely to improve. It is generally agreed that Koreans and Hans show strong son preference, while Dais have cultural traditions of daughter preference. In Yanbian, where virtually all children receive health care whenever it is needed, Korean females and Han females show lower child mortality than their male counterparts, although the difference is not found to be significant for Koreans. In Xishuangbanna, where there is little availability of health care, Dai males show markedly higher child mortality than Dai females, and Han females have higher child mortality than Han males. However, small improvements in the availability of health care in Xishuangbanna translate into substantial improvements in survival of male children for Dais, and survival of female children for Hans.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the level of fertility of Koreans in China in comparison to Hans. From the demographic perspective, this paper attempts to develop explanation for Korean immigration to northeast China since the mid 19th century. Of interest are the trend of population growth and geographic distribution of Koreans in China Attention is also given to the comparison of the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics between Koereans and Hans in China. The research is based on the raw data files of the 1990 Population Census from Jilin Province and Yanbian Korean Prefecture. The findings of the analysis suggest that the level of fertility of Koreans in China is substantially lower than those of Hans and other ethnic minority. This appears to be particularly true for Koreans residing in the regions densely populated with Koreans. The results of ANOVA and MCA confirm that the ethnic factor does have significant effects on the level of fertility. The lowest fertility of Koreans is found to be consistent after adjusting the effects of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the couple and the household. Despite the recent uprising of the sex ratio at birth in China, it is found in this study that the pattern of sex ratios for Koreans in Jilin Province and Yanbian Korean Prefecture has been fairly balanced and stable. Finally, Koreans are found to have higher level of child mortality than Hans and other ethnic minority.

Recent studies on Asian suburbanization suggest that their settlement patterns do not confirm to those of earlier migrant streams, and that different residential patterns of Asian ethnic minority groups have created a complex ethnic mosaic in suburban areas. This paper examines the extent to which residential patterns of main Asian minority groups have changed in Westchester, where is one of suburban counties around New York City. With mapping base on Census of Population data in 2000 and 2010 years, the residential patterns of five Asian groups (Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, and Koreans) are analyzed through the indices of segregation. The residential segregation geography of the Asian ethnic groups is characterized by dispersed concentration. There is a difference among the characteristics of the ethnic neighborhoods in which Asian minority groups are residentially concentrated.

The main purpose of this study is to understand the socio-cultural adaptation and life-styles of the Chinese and Korean immigrants in Vancouver, Canada. Of interest are the immigration policies of the Canadian government and formation of the Chinese and Korean minority societies in Vancouver. Attention is given to estimating the size of the Korean population in Vancouver, utilizing the listings of telephone directory and the proportion of surname Kims in the Korean population. This paper focuses on explaining the distinctive adaptation patterns and socio-cultural characteristics of the Chinese and Korean immigrants. A conceptual scheme of socio-cultual adaptation of the minority immigrants, which is hypothesized as a function of the participation to the host society and the cultural identity, is also developed in this paper. Findings of the analysis suggest that the Chinese and Korean population in Vancouver witnessed a rapid growth since the mid 1980s, when the Canadian government launched the immigration programs for investors and entrepreneurs. It appears that the Chinese and Korean immigrants hold strong ethnic identity and maintain cultural traditions and life-styles of their own. While Chinese immigrants are characterized by active participation to the host society, Korean immigrants tend to confine themselves to the Korean enclave, and thus keep a certain distance from the host society. This appears to be particularly true for the Koreans who immigrated with a status of investor or entrepreneur. As the key force behind the ethnic differences in their adaptation, the role of voluntary associations is stressed. Finally, the future prospects of the Chinese and Korean societies and their acculturation are discussed in this study.
