This study aims to explore the theoretical and practical potentials of the late modern social space theories concerning deinstitutionalization issues in the field of the Mental Health. Deinstitutionalization, the process of converting the living space mentally ill people from facilities to the community, is a meaningful event realizing the modern ideology of human rights and welfare in social work territory. Although the continuos and accumulative efforts to realize the ideas of deinstitutionalization, which have focused on the ideological validity and the conditions and administrative supports needed for materialization, however, discussing the issues without analyzing late modern societal space neglects the constraints of the generic and comprehensive 'space' in which the deinstitutionalization can actually occur. Thus, this study attempts the following by analyzing the concrete reality of social space: focusing on deinstitutionalization in a larger social context, different from previous studies that discussed it on a normative and fragmentary level; and more concretely analyzing the realistic limits and challenges facing deinstitutionalization. In order to do this, previous literature related to deinstitutionalization is laid out and theories of late modern social space are studied. Based on this, the kinds of phenomenon that occur when this sort of late modern social space meets with the deinstitutionalization of mentally ill people are analyzed. Finally, based on the results, the study suggests several implications to realize the rights and welfare of mentally in the late modern space concerning deinstitutionalization.

The purpose of this study is to raise the issue of the existing deinstitutionalization debate, considering only the shipment process to these two spaces, and still leaving the inter-facility circulation of vulnerable mental handicapped who are still hanging around the facility. In particular, we sought to supplement the discussion of deinstitutionalization by illuminating the problems of those who have to rely on facilities, as well as the mental health facility system and the homeless facility system. In the case of homeless persons with mental disabilities who repeatedly use the mental health facility system and the homeless facility system, they confirmed the pattern of using the facilities by constantly changing the place to manage the overlapping risk of mental illness and homelessness. Also it is triggered by the voluntary nature of the parties with no resources and resources. This situation appeared to be inevitable in the absence of resources and supportive systems that would actually enable a life in the community. Nevertheless, I asserted that the life of the mentally handicapped, which is circling the facility, is extremely unstable and is not desirable from a welfare point of view.

This study investigates the factors influencing service outcomes of group homes and residential care centers, as well as the factors causing any differences between the two service outcomes. 119 and 137 5-6th graders were selected from group homes and residential care centers respectively, using the cluster sampling method. Multiple regression and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition were used in this study. The results revealed that 'stigma', 'school adjustment', and 'social support' were significant factors influencing service outcomes among children in group homes, while 'stigma', 'primary caregivers' attitude', and 'peer relations' were identified as significant factors among children in residential care centers. The study also found that the mean service outcome score for group homes was higher than that of residential care centers. The 74 percent of this difference in the mean scores was due to the difference in children' characteristics of the two out-of-home care service types. The remaining 26 percent of this difference was due to unobserved characteristics. Finally, the implications of this study in child welfare practices were also discussed.

For this, this study analyzed 17 living experiences, which came from interviews on 9 research participants lived in residential homes. Some of 9 research participants had experience living in only one type of residential homes; others had experiences living in two or three types of residential homes. The result of this study revealed the different levels of self-determination experiences according to the each types of residential homes. In terms of degree of self-determination, its level in the small group homes are higher than large institutions; independent living homes are higher than the small group homes. By this finding, this paper raised the need for the policy changes on residential home for the disabled people to accelerate deinstitutionalization and make sure higher level of self-determination of disabled people. This study suggested other implications related to the research on intellectually disabled people. Firstly, evaluative researches on service provisions to intellectually disabled people should reflect subjective experiences of service users. Secondly, diverse researches focusing on subjective experiences should be tried to expand understanding on intellectually disabled people.
