The region of Southeast Asia had already experienced rapid urbanization and cultural change before the East Asia region did. None the less, nowadays shophouses and rowhouses still form the major portion of streets in Chinese town in Southeast Asia countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the adaptation process of shophouse and rowhouse in the Southeast Asia region and the architectural characteristics between the middle of 18th and the early of 20th, which Chinese people of the region inherit and develop, for more thorough understanding of cultural adaptability and regionalism of Chinese architecture in Southeast Asia. The common fact found in the Southeast Asia region is that Chinese people in countries of this region gradually started to live densely as a group in a certain zone in city area since they got to play important roles in commerce, trade and service works related with cities, due to European countries' advance into Southeast Asia and their construction of colonial cities in the region. Chinese people in the region utilized residential rowhouse and special shophouse, which is a kind of shop adapted from rowhouses' sitting room or storage, for their commercial and industrial activities in urban areas, which had problems of limited space. They also realized high densities through vertical expansion of space in order to adjust to changing urban structure under execution of urban planning in cities of colonial area and rapid urbanization. Even though residence of Chinese in Southeast Asia was influenced by new political, social, economic and cultural rules of European colonies in Southeast Asia, it has continuously succeeded to the cultural tradition of China, their home country, in terms of planning principle which puts air well in the middle and hierarchial spacial construction method. Appearance of the open connected verandah, designed by Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, can be regarded as one of the architectural characters. Hence, Chinese residence in cities of Southeast Asia can be understood as a new regional architectural culture in the context of European countries' urban planning and urbanization of colonial areas, Immigrants from southern China and their role, their adjustment to urban areas by utilizing mixed type houses of residence and business, cultural tradition of Chinese home country.

본 연구는 지속적으로 구조적 변화를 겪으며 증가하고 있는 외국인의 인구와 주택 소비의 변화가 본국과 이주국의 주택 시장 양쪽 모두에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 밝히는 것에 목적을 둔다. 서울의 조선족 주택 시장의 형성 원인과 변화는 임대료 시장에 있어서 내국인 주택 시장과는 다른 '임대료의 고정 효과'로 인하여 외국인의 유입이 지속적으로 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 순환 이주 의향이 강한 조선족 집단에 의해 분화된 주택 시장의 밀집은 더욱 심화된 형태로 변화하고 있다. 한편 한국에서 이주 경험이 있는 조선족들이 주요 주택 소비자로 부상하면서, 연길시의 부동산 붐을 일으켰다. 조선족의 주택 투자는 연변 대학을 기준으로 '서부'에 집중되어 있는데, 연길시의 주택 공급에 영향을 미치는 도시 기본 계획과 밀접한 연관 관계를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 이주자의 초국가적 주택 소비로 인하여, 본국과 이주국의 주택 시장을 연결함으로써 두 주택 시장에서 발생하는 여과과정을 동시에 일으켜, '초국가적 주택 여과 과정(Transnational housing filtering process)'이 발생하게 되는 것으로 나타났다.

Arjun Appadurai contends that "the new global cultural economy has to be seen as a complex, overlapping, disjunctive order that cannot any longer be understood in terms of existing center-periphery models" (32); though discerning and perhaps becoming more and more apt, Appadurai's observation of the breakdown of the "center-periphery" binary appears as mere "academic jargon" in the lives of new immigrants, tackling the murky waters of identity politics in the transcultural technoscape of modern America in Kunzru's Transmission. Kunzru's antihero is Arjun Mehta, a software technician, who comes to America with high hopes of realizing the "American Dream." To a certain extent, Arjun himself is culpable of resurrecting the "center" as he prioritizes America and its values over all else. Despite his best efforts, Arjun cannot prevail in the perilous politics of exclusion/inclusion, and is relegated into a "high-tech coolie," exploited for his technological savvy. Even as the "center-periphery" binary stays intact in the production of an (Asian) American identity, it becomes undone in the hands of this "would-be" American; ultimately denied inclusion into America, Arjun unleashes a destructive virus that has major global consequences. In a sense, the boundary that separates the center and the periphery comes down as both collectively become victims to Arjun's retributive malfeasance. Arjun seems to rely on the "American" promise that old allegiances (to a national identity) are now defunct and new ones can be easily forged; as Kunzru's Transmission demonstrates with the tragic story of Arjun, the complex politics of identity production in America does not necessarily deliver on this promise. This essay hence aims to examine the politics of (national) belonging in the age of transnationalism.

Recent incidents of lethal violence in the Rakhine State of Myanmar between the majority Buddhist Rakhine and the Muslim Rohingya have been the source of much concern for the international community. Unlike the past, the killings and incendiary attacks by both communities have intensified to a critical level, proving to be a great liability for the forward-thinking Myanmar government, whose recent transition to civilian rule after a long military one has made it eager to move on. The roots of the conflict trace back to the military regime, who branded the Rohingyas living in Rakhine state as illegal immigrants and refused to confer upon them official recognition as Myanmar citizens. The discord then moved to an ethnic conflict, pitting the Rohingya not merely against the Myanmar government but rather the majority Buddhist Rakhine. The conflict, as it has developed into the present, is an immensely complicated one that simultaneously encompasses ethnic and religious issues, all intertwined together. This study aims to see how the two ethnic groups have come to resort to such violence, despite having lived in each other's presence for many centuries, and why the violence persists. It will attempt to reconcile the fact that Rakhine had historically been a place of convergence for two groups, the Buddhist Rakhine and the Rakhine Muslim(the Rohingya). Based on the argument, this study also seeks to uncover, identify, and understand the Rohingya identity with the extreme arguments exhibited by both sides, and from there, locate the underlying causes of the greater religio-ethnic conflict in Rakhine that has so ravaged the place as of recent.

This paper examines the formation and evolution of Chinese society in Penang over 155 years. Since it was ruled by the British in 1786, many immigrants gathered in Penang. Among them, much of the population was Chinese. It could be offered to clarify the historical process of the development of Chinese society in Penang by paying attention to the three items - opium, tin, and rubber. All the conflict and friction over these products were main causes of prosperity and decay for the Chinese society in Penang. In the early 19th century, the Chinese colossus could get their capital accumulation by taking advantage of 'opium farm'. They amassed their fortune through development of tin mines newly discovered in Perak during the late 19th century. It was the age of Chinese Colossuses deeply connected with Chinese secret societies. After the rubber plantations were developed by the Western capital in the early 20th century, the age of Chinese Colossuses was gradually fallen down. From this point of view one can be provided a new perspective on the history of Penang and the Chinese society of its own. The three scopes for history enable us to make a new interpretation about the issue of stratification within Chinese society in Penang. Especially this research focused on the economic characteristics of Chinese secret societies as 'social capital', and on the identity conflicts between traditional Strait Chinese(peranakan) elite and emerging sinkeh Chinese merchants. The identity problem between 'Laokeh' and 'Sinkeh' in the early 20th century was intentionally exaggerated by modern researchers. Their conflicts seems to be caused by different economic interests rather than identity. We need to consider again the rise and fall of Chinese society in Penang with flexible thinking.

본 연구는 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 한국사회 적응과정과 사회적 지지의 경험에 관한 심층적 이해를 제시하고, 사회복지 및 거시적 차원에서 적응을 위한 적극적인 지원과 해결방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 본 연구는 사례연구조사를 실시하여 '범주화' 하였고, '학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 초기적응과정 네트워크' 를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과로는 첫째, 연구참여자들은 경제적 적응을 제일 힘겨워하였고, 경제적 적응은 학업적응과 매우 긴밀한 연관성을 나타내었다. 연구참여자들은 남한거주기간 1.5년 미만의 초기적응과정에 있는 20대 초반의 학업중단 청소년들이었다. 따라서 탈북과정에서 초래된 학업격차와 연령차로 인하여 정규교육체계에 편입하지 못하였고, 취업시 학력조건이 미달되어 단순노동직의 저임금과 과잉근무에 시달리며 잦은 이직과 무직의 경험을 반복하였다. 둘째, 연구참여자들은 인간관계를 적응과정의 제일 중요한 핵심요소로 인식하였고, 인간관계에서 얻어지는 사회적 지지는 한국사회 적응에 긍정적인 기능을 하였다. 특히 남한사람들과의 교류는 정보적·평가적 지지를 얻을 수 있는 귀한 자원으로 인식되었다. 이러한 정보적·평가적 지지는 연구참여자들의 언어 적응을 돕고 문화적 이질감을 완화하였으며, 심리적 적응의 부정적 측면을 개선해 주었다. 한편 북한이탈주민과의 교류는 '배울 것이 없다' 는 이유로 멀리하였지만, 북한이탈주민 중심의 친밀한 관계에서 오는 정서적 지지는 연구참여자들의 적응과 심리적 안정에 매우 긍정적인 기능을 담당하였다. 셋째, 연구참여자들은 신체건강 및 심리적 적응에 있어 큰 어려움을 경험하였다. 지병은 치료받지 못하여 악화되었고, 여성의 자각증상은 매우 높았다. 새로운 환경에서 밀려오는 스트레스는 심리적 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 연구참여자들은 자신감부족, 대인기피, 소외감을 경험하였고, 스트레스가 만성적인 경우 좌절감과 패배감을, 심각한 경우에는 분노와 우울증상을 경험하였다. 한편 연구참여자들은 가족과 함께 남한에 거주하였으므로 '가족을 고향에 버리고 왔다' 는 죄책감이나 '혼자' 라는 외로움이 낮았고, 민주주의 사회에서의 자유감과 안전감에 높은 만족도를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과를 근거로, 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 사회적 지지체계의 강화, 자립·자활을 위한 경제적 지원정책 제안, 학업적응 지원을 위한 교육정책 마련 등에 관한 구체적인 해결방향을 제언하였다.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is increasing in immigrants. We aimed to investigate the current status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment for North Korean Refugees (NKR) compared to South Koreans Contacts (SKC). Methods: TB close contacts in a closed facility of SKC and NKR who underwent LTBI screening in a settlement support center for NKR were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among tuberculin skin test (TST) ${\geq}10mm$ (n=298) reactors, the males accounted for 72.2% in SKC (n=126) and 19.5% in NKR (n=172) (p<0.01). The mean age was higher in South Korea ($42.8{\pm}9.9years$ vs. $35.4{\pm}10.0years$, p<0.01). Additionally, the mean TST size was significantly bigger in NKR ($17.39{\pm}3.9mm$ vs. $16.57{\pm}4.2mm$, p=0.03). The LTBI treatments were initiated for all screened NKR, and LTBI completion rate was only 68.0%. However, in NKR, LTBI treatment completion rate was significantly increased by shorter 4R regimen (odds ratio [OR], 9.296; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.159-20.774; p<0.01) and male (OR, 3.447; 95% CI, 1.191-9.974; p=0.02). Conclusion: LTBI treatment compliance must be improved in NKR with a shorter regimen. In addition, a larger study regarding a focus on LTBI with easy access to related data for NKR should be conducted.

팬데믹은 코로나 이전(BC: Before Corona)과 이후(AC: After Corona)로 구분해야 할 만큼 심각하고 변화를 초래했다. 사회 관계망에서 소외되어 홀로 죽음을 맞는 개인은 물론, 일부 계층의 경제적 어려움과 의료적 불평등, 그리고 최근 서구 국가들에서 급증하는 아시아인에 대한 혐오와 폭력적 차별이 대표적인 사례들로 거론된다. 이외에도 철저하게 자국의 이익을 앞세운 국가 간 백신 확보 경쟁이 촉발한 제1세계와 제3세계 간의 현격한 백신 격차, 경제 환경과 금융시장 변화에 따른 소득 격차와 개인 및 법인의 파산에 이르기까지 팬데믹은 지구적 수준에서 '모든'(pan) '사람들'(demos)이 결코 비켜갈 수 없는 한계상황으로 기능하고 있다. 점증하는 폭력과 가난, 기근으로 위기에 처한 국가들에 팬데믹이 확산할 경우 세계가 최악의 재앙을 목격할 수 있다는 예측 역시 한편에서 제기되고 있다. 팬데믹이 초래한 사회의 일부 변화들을 검토하는 한편, 그에 따른 향후 기독교교육의 대책을 제안하기 위해 이 논문은 포스트 코로나 시대에 사회가 직면한 의료와 경제, 그리고 심리적 위기를 개략적으로 분석한다. 이어서 팬데믹 상황에서 근본적인 변화를 강력하게 요구받고 있는 기독교 신학과 선교, 그리고 예배의 변화를 차례로 살펴본다. 끝으로, 이상의 논의를 기초로 포스트 코로나 시대에 필요한 기독교교육의 새로운 방향을 제안한다.
