현재 해외에 거주하고 있는 한국 이주민으로서 가장 큰 집단은 중국에 살고 있는 조선족인데 약 200만에 이르고 있는 이들은 19세기말부터 이주하기 시작하여 자치주를 형성하고 중화인민공화국의 일원으로 자리 잡고 있다. 특히 중국에서 가장 북쪽에 위치한 흑룡강성의 조선족들은 그 인구가 46만 여명으로 늘어났으며 “대산재, 소집병”의 형식으로 그 사회구조를 이루고 있다. (중략)

The number of foreign qualification holders has been on the rise due to the globalization and the development of transportation. As in other developed nations, Korea faces the growing demand for foreign higher education recognition (FHER) since the number of foreign students and migrant workers has reached about one million recently. Unfortunately, there has been no FHER system in Korea so far. In this context, this study has compared the cases of Australia and New Zealand. The results reveal that these two countries are similar in that both of them have developed their own FHER system in order to attract highly qualified foreign workers and students. However, they are different in terms of the implementation of the FHER system and the development of the FHER database. Besides, the cases of both countries shed light on the key issues related to the FHER. Taken together, they provide significant implications for the Korean government which has to develop its own FHER system in the near future.

The present study set out to explore the acculturative stress and mental health(depression) of Korean women living in Britain according to socio-demographic factors, social relations and social supports level. 152 Korean women's data were collected and analyzed with frequency, correlation, ANOVA. Analysis revealed that women's acculturative stress and depression level was 2.50(moderate) and 1.66(slightly low) respectively. Acculturative stress level showed correlation with depression level. Among demographic variables, acculturative stress was significantly different from residence period in Britain, marriage and economic state and the level of depression was also different from job and economic state. The group which has frequent relationships with British and high level of social supports showed low acculturative stress. The group has high level of social supports also showed low depression. These findings highlight the importance of concerns and interventions about acculturation and mental health of Korean immigrant women and community services for the new immigrant women to improve their acculturation and mental health.

The purpose of this study is to improve the fitness of clothes by producing patterns considering body proportions at a time of producing clothes for export through extracting factors comprising body types and conducting comparative analysis of proportions by body part using body indexes of Korean women in their 20s living in both Korea and foreign countries. The study results are as follows. Factor analysis by group was conducted for body indexes in order to examine body types of Koreans living overseas. As a results, six factors were extracted from all of three groups; Joseonjok(Koreans living in China), Goryeoin(Koreans living in Russia) and Korean residents in Japan, and their explanatory powers were 60.42%, 63.62%, 63.15%, respectively. Obesity factor was extracted as the 1st factor, and the groups showed differences in other factors. As a result of proportion comparison using body indexes of Koreans living in foreign countries and Korea, it was found that, in height item, when regarding the height as 100, the length of the lower part of the body was long in the order of Goryeoin. Joseonjok, Koreans living in Korea and Korean residents in Japan. Also in width item, when regarding the waist as a standard, it was observed that Joseonjok people have the shoulders, the breasts and the hips that look relatively wider comparing with the width of the waists because they have very narrow waists and the width between shoulder length is big. In addition, the study examined proportions of the breast thickness/the breast width, the waist thickness/the waist width, the hip thickness/the hip width to height. From the analysis, it was found that breasts of Koreans living in Korea are flattest while their waists are slender, and Goryeoin and Joseonjok have round body shapes from the waist to the breast.

Geography as a field of learning had its beginnings among the scholars of ancient Greece. The emergence of modern Geography was much due to the collection and classification of information about overseas areas. Today, world regional geography, which may be called area studies in other social sciences, is regarded as an introductory geography course in many American universities. World regional geography, however, has been much neglected by Korean geographers. Many factors have made Korean geographers not concentrate their efforts to area studies. The exterior factors include the great expenses for the area studies' fieldworks, and the many geographers' involvement in the writing of geography textbooks and atlases for school students. The interior factors include all the ethno-centric, mysterious, and authoritarian perspectives a large number of Korean geographers strongly stick to.

본 논문에서는 한국의 신도시를 비롯해서 일본과 유럽의 신도시를 사례로 선정하여 그 주거단지들에서 찾을 수 있는 친환경적인 요소를 중심으로 비교분석하였다. 친환경 주거단지란 지구환경을 보전하고자 하는 생각에서 시작되어 지구환경의 보전과 주변 환경과의 친화를 목적으로 거주자들이 자연환경과 어울려 쾌적하게 생활할 수 있도록 하는 단지환경을 말한다. 이 논문에서는 친환경 요소를 중심으로 사례들을 비교 분석하여 해외 사례의 친환경 단지로서의 시사점을 찾고 한국의 분당과 판교 신도시에 대한 문제점을 고찰하고자한다.

First, as of 2014, the total number of creative workers are 5.73 million (23.2% of the total workforce), and more than half (58.6%) are concentrated in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Second, the excess residence rate of the creative workers (number of residents/number of jobs) is high in metropolitan areas. Third, when comparing with workers in productions sector, the selection of residence location for creative workers are significantly influenced by certain city amenities such as education.

This study examines how the overseas residence experience of Korean consumers influences the relationship of global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence. We contrast two kinds of consumer brand knowledge, using the concepts of Alba and Hutchinson's expertise and familiarity. Considering the effect of positive affect on intuitive information processing, the present study investigated the role of positive affect in consumer brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link. The proposed model was tested with structural-equation analysis. The results show that expertise and familiarity effect the positive affect. Positive affect, in turn, influences brand choice confidence. The results indicate that the processes underlying global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link are different between the consumers with overseas residence experience for more than a year and the consumers without it. The route from expertise to positive affect has a significant impact on the consumers with overseas residence experience but not on the consumers without it; however, the route from familiarity to positive affect and the path from positive affect to brand choice confidence have a greater impact on the consumers without overseas residence experience than the consumers with it. We find that the consumers with overseas residence experience favor expertise in the process underlying global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link, whereas the consumers without it favor familiarity and affect based thought.
