An act of children's welfare was made in 1961 for the first time in Korea but it had been nothing but the name in view of practical impact to prevention of child abuse. Real undertakings of Child Abuse Prevention were commenced overtly since 2000 in Korea, when the law for children's welfare was revised to put protective settings for the victims and to establish criterion for children's safety. The history of Child Abuse Prevention is very short in Korea but the reporting cases increased very fast from 4,133 cases in 2001 up to 9,570 cases in 2008 with the enthusiastic activities from people of the associated organizations along with the national supports. But the portion reported by the mandated reporters such as teachers or doctors is still low compared to those of the developed countries. The National Child Protection Agency (NCPA) was founded in 2001 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to prevent child abuse and to aid recovery of abused and neglected children including their families, through the cooperation of related organizations. NCPA refers reported cases of child abuse to appropriate local centers, operates a computer database system for case management, publicizes national reports of child abuse on a yearly basis and technically supports the Local Child Protection Agency (LCPA) by developing scales for assessment of child abuse and neglect and distributing programs for the education of mandatory reporters. LCPAs operate 24-hour telephone hotline, investigate and visit homes and provide in home services networking with local resources, and operate multidisciplinary teams for screening child abuse victims and supervising case management through multimodal systems. We summarized the present state of child abuse in Korea and reviewed the operating systems for child protection in this country. Through this article, we hope that medical peoples are to be informed on the seriousness of child abuse and to be able to devote themselves for the prevention of child abuse.

Objectives: This study examined how deprivation differed by region and the effect those differences had on suicidal ideation among the local population. Methods: Data collected over 10 years (2012-2021) in the Korea Welfare Panel Study were organized into 3 categories: metropolitan, city, and rural. A panel analysis was conducted on the impact of deprivation indices, socio-demographic characteristics, and life satisfaction on suicidal ideation in each category. Results: Income, divorce status, family relationship satisfaction, and medical deprivation had a significant impact on suicidal ideation in metropolitan areas, whereas these variables did not have significant effects in rural areas. In other words, income, family, and medical support were more impactful in city areas. Conclusions: Although the deprivation index was higher in rural areas than in city areas due to an aging population and reduced income levels, the mental health of rural residents was found to be generally better than that of city residents. The possibility that this is related to the strength of relationships within the respective communities should be considered in light of recent discussions on relational welfare.

지방자치법상에서는 소방사무를 지방자치단체의 고유사무라고 하고 있다. 그러나 소방사무의 변천과정을 살펴보면 경찰사무 즉 국가사무에서 1991년에 지방사무로 전국적으로 이관되어 현재는 지방자치단체의 사무로 자리 매김하고 있다. 지방자치사무라함은 우리헌법에서 천명한 주민의 복리에 관한 사무와 주민의 재산관리를 하는 사무를 말한다. 즉 지방자치의 근본취지는 주민을 가장 편안하고 안전하게 할 수 있도록 하는 것이 현대의 지방자치의 사명이다. 이러한 맥락에서 볼 때 소방은 화재를 예방ㆍ진압하고 위급시 구조ㆍ구급을 통하여 주민의 복리 증진은 물론 나아가서는 사회의 안녕과 질서유지가 소방의 궁극적 목적이라고 한다면, 소방업무는 지금까지 도시지역 주민중심으로 소방수혜를 제공하여왔다. 이러한 인식을 탈피시키고자 대도시, 배후 농촌지역, 중ㆍ소도시와 전형적인 농촌지역을 비교 분석한 결과 소방수요는 농촌지역이 절실하게 요구되고 있으므로 여기에 소방관서 설치가 필요하다는 것이 객관적으로 증명되고 있다. 따라서 기초지방자치단체인 농촌지역인 군 단위 지역에 소방관서 설치가 복지행정의 일환으로 전개되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 행정학에서 복지 분야의 최근까지의 연구경향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 결과적으로, 행정학에서 복지 분야 연구 경향은 2000년 이후 들어 복지 관련 연구가 양적으로 급격히 팽창되고 있으며, 상대적으로 이론을 적용하는 연구가 많았다. 또한, 2000년대 후반 들어 실증(통계)분석을 사용하고 있는 복지 관련 연구들이 많아지고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 중앙정부 차원에서의 연구가 많았다. 한편, 언어네트워크방법론을 사용한 연구키워드의 중심성 분석 결과, "복지"라는 연구키워드를 큰 중심축으로 하고, "정책", "결정요인", "이데올로기"를 작은 중심축으로 하여 "OECD", "노인", "지방정부", "서비스", "국가", "지역", "행정", "만족도", "여성", "시장", "예산"등의 연구키워드에 영향을 미쳤다고 볼 수 있다.

본 연구는 최근 우리사회에서 중요한 화두가 되고 있는 저출산 고령화 대책, 사회적 일자리 창출 등의 영향으로 사회적 주목의 대상이 되고 있는 사회서비스 정책의 동향을 살펴보고, 거시적인 관점에서 대안을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 현재의 사회서비스 정책은 중앙과 지방의 단절, 최소생활보장 장치의 미흡, 서비스 일자리와 취약한 서비스 대상자에 대한 균형의 결여 등이 문제로 제기되었다. 이에 대하여 이용자의 선택과 참여를 증진하는 수단으로서의 시장기제의 도입과 시장의 부정적인 영향을 최소화할 수 있도록 하는 견제장치로서의 반시장기제의 통합을 대안으로 제시하였다.

This paper aims at investigating the dynamics between aging population and local finance. In recent years, the aging rate has been accelerating the pace. The trend implies that Korea is moving towards the aging society, presumably, with unprecedented speed in the world. Aging society's biggest problems are centered around the explosive growth of the financial needs. In particular, these problems are apt to appear more seriously in local governments, as most of them are confronted with high level of aging population and poor financial bases. Firstly, it analyzes how the population structure in the local government impacts local finance, income and expenditure. Based upon in-depth literature reviews, this study examines variables related to aging population and local fiance.

사회복지통합관리망은 정부에서 제공하는 다양한 복지급여 및 서비스를 통합적으로 제공 관리하기 위한 정보시스템으로서 사회복지 행정의 효율화에 기여하고, 나아가 사회복지 전달체계를 개선하기 위하여 구축되었다. 사회복지통합관리망은 복지행정업무를 담당하는 지자체 사회복지공무원의 업무량을 경감시키고 일하는 방식을 개선함으로써 전달체계 효율화 측면을 강조하였으며, 이에 따라 정보화 평가 또한 복지행정업무의 효율성측면과 예산, 인력 감축 규모를 통해 실질적인 효과를 찾아볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 사회복지통합관리망 구축 및 운영에 따른 경제적 측면, 공급자 측면 그리고 수요자 측면에서 정보시스템의 효과를 살펴보고, 이에 따른 사회복지통합관리망의 실질적인 성과를 제시하였다.
