Recently, Southeast Asian people, its food, natural sceneries and so on have been increasingly exposed to Korean people through mass media and multi-cultural events. At the same time, Koreans can frequently encounter Southeast Asians in their everyday lives. Thus, specific images and discourses of Southeast Asia has been established in our society, which creates a new social trend called 'Southeast Asia phenomena'. In short, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' means a totality of Korean people's experience of Southeast Asian and their perception on the region. On the one hand, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' is a result of inflow of Southeast Asians and their culture into Korea. On the other hand, it is also a consequence of Korean people's understanding of Southeast Asia from their trip to Southeast Asia or from their interactions with Southeast Asian people. This article aims to analyze the origin and diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in Korea in the context of Southeast Asia focusing on 4 topics, that is, migrant workers, overseas investments, retirement migration, study-abroad categorized as human movement. This article is also about a country-by-country comparative analysis both at the macro level and the micro level. At the macro level, overseas investments and trade, human exchanges, positive perception to Koreans which considered to be the structural causes become a strong mechanism playing a important bridge role between Korea and Southeast Asia. So these create the high probability of the emergence of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' At the micro level which is more direct causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena', the economic cause is the most important common cause for 4 Southeast Asian Phenomena. Additionally, Korean wave is also remarkable common cause creating 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' even it is not the origin in the context of Southeast Asia. The diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' is different by the topics and the elements contributing to create the favorable situation for the diffusion are not only overseas investments and trade, human exchanges at the macro level but also policy elements at the micro level. The relative differences of the causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in the country-by-country analysis are found. Regarding overseas investments in Vietnam and Cambodia, the economic degree of freedom in Cambodia is higher than in Vietnam. Even Korean Wave has had the longer history in Vietnam, but the favorable perspectives on Korean Wave are stronger in Cambodia. For migrant workers from Vietnam and Indonesia, the economic causes in Vietnam are more significant than in Indonesia. The impact of Korean Wave is stronger in Vietnam than in Indonesia. In case of study-abroad, the social-cultural elements and policy elements are more diverse in Malaysia than in Korea. For the Korean retirees who immigrate to the Philippines and Malaysia, the economic causes in the Philippines is more significant in Malaysia.

한국 정부의 주요 해외 공중 집단 중 하나는 해외에 거주하고 있는 재외동포로서 정부는 이들을 인적자원으로 인식하여 2000년대 초반부터 재외동포정책을 수립하여 해외에 거주하고 있는 동포 자녀들에게 민족주의 제고를 위해 한국어 교육지원 사업을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 교육지원사업의 대상인 재미한인들이 한국어 학교를 통해 현재까지 진행된 교육 지원 사업에 대한 경험에 의거한 생각과 효과를 탐색적 접근을 통해 살펴보았다. 연구 결과에 의하면 재미한인들에게는 한국어 학교 보다는 부모님이 가르쳐 준 한국 문화 및 가치 그리고 직접적인 한국 문화체험이 한국에 대한 긍정적 태도 및 한국 혈통으로서의 자부심을 형성하는데 더 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연구결과 참여자들은 본인들도 한국문화 및 언어를 더 배울 뿐 아니라 추후 자녀에게도 계승하고자 하였는데 이러한 동기부여는 전반적으로 세계 무대에서 한국의 위상이 높아지고 한국문화에 대한 평가가 향상되었기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 앞으로 재미동포와의 관계발전을 위한 재외동포 정책 방향 및 차세대 재미한인들을 위한 문화 교류 프로그램을 제안하는데 의의가 있다.

This paper is to review how Korean trading companies perform and promote the digital transformation through the e-networking with global market, and how much they extend the volume of export, and make the company grow inward or outward in order to enhance the effects of economic growth in Korea. It is suggested that global agreement on e-Trade(or u-Trade) should be made in order to expand the global e-networking practices and to ensure transferring of transport documents(or business documents). Moreover, it also suggested that networking on the global trading partners such as government authorities, diplomatic offices abroad, overseas Koreans, students studying abroad, Korean merchants abroad, etc. should be made in single window for improving and upgrading the image of Korean trading companies. By making of global e-network platform between overseas business partners, trading companies are able to expect various synergy effects such as improving the satisfaction of their customers, promoting the global transactions, reducing the operation and transaction cost, helping fording overseas buyers, and extending export volume and sales profit, etc. Customers can also obtain the information about trading goods easily and rapidly, and cut down the transaction stage using information exchange with partners. All of the trading partners in the world can maintain their business partnership as long as they use the global e-network.

Twelve selected rural villages were investigated to identify typical Korean rural landscapes. Among many photos taken in those villages, which are believed to represent rural amenities, one hundred photos were selected and again sixty of them were chosen through a questionnaire survey of landscape students. Two hundred domestic subjects and one hundred and one overseas visitors were surveyed to find their evaluations of 'rurality' of the Korean rural landscapes and their 'preferences' of those landscapes. Photo numbers 16, 40, 48, 37, 49, 11, 8, 56, 15 were evaluated most 'rural' and/or 'preferable' by domestic subjects. As the overseas visitors 'mrurality', they were asked to evaluate their 'preferences' only. Photo numbers 60, 7, 38, 28, 59, 15 were the most preferred Korean rural landscapes by them. In summary, Korean public generally preferred rural landscapes with natural beauty and, on the other hand, overseas visitors most preferred historic rural landscapes. Both group preferred least rural landscapes with man made structures.

Recently, there has been inter-Korean exchanges are active, in company with an assertive international activity with North Korea and inter-Korean Summits. Thus, there is a growing possibility of Korean reunification. However, when the unification situation occurs, population inflow by North Korean residents will be expected, and it will be necessary to prepare a housing supply strategy. In addition, even if North Koreans are prevented from entering, a plan is necessary to ensure structural safety since most buildings in North Korea are aging and a recent natural disaster occurs frequently. In this research, we will try to present a temporary housing supply strategy and a short-term structural reinforcement plan based on analysis of the standard housing conditions in North Korea. In this research, we represent the analysis result of the existing construction level, supply status and structural performance of North Korea. When we consider the reinforcement period and social costs, a short-term reinforcement plan is recommended rather than the full reinforcement of the aged housing in North Korea. Furthermore, we examine the ways to secure the residential safety of North Koreans through a case study of domestic and overseas temporary residential facilities, until the permanent residential facilities were supplied. According to the analysis, the tent houses were used as a form of relief housing in overseas frequently. However, the tent house is difficult to apply for domestic country with clear seasons due to insulation and heating problems. Therefore, it is appropriate to develop a residential supply strategy as focusing on the temporary housing facilities in assembled or container from, in preparation for the future population inflow.

Purposes: The problem in the recent immigration policy and social policy changes for foreigners is that the preliminary analysis or research on the actual impact of the influx of foreigners has not been done enough in Korea yet.. This study is to examine the impact of the Korean health insurance finances on the influx of foreigners. Approach: This study analyzed the health insurance statistics for foreigners and overseas Koreans of the Health Insurance Corporation from 2013 to 2017. The data is the "Status of Health Insurance Premiums for Nationals, Foreigners, and Overseas Koreans from 2013 to 2017" submitted by the National Health Insurance Service to the Health and Welfare Committee during the 2018 National Audit Period. Findings: To summarize the analysis, first, the proportion of foreigners was only 1% of all subscribers (1.7% at work, 1.9% in regions) until 2017. Second, employees at work have a lower pay-to-pay ratio, and local subscribers have a higher pay-to-pay rate, regardless of nationality. Third, as immigrants are mostly concentrated in younger ages, they are healthy and use of hospitals is relatively low. Fourth, in terms of gender distribution, there are many women of childbearing age due to marriage immigration among foreign local subscribers, and more men use hospitals than workers who have a high proportion of males due to childbirth. In conclusion, the impact of immigration on health insurance finances is not large, and has a positive effect on finances. Practical Implications: If we simply consider the financial aspect, encouraging foreigners to subscribe to health insurance has a positive effect on finances. In particular, the more foreign workers are enrolled, the greater the financial gain. In particular, increasing the employment of foreign women through language education, vocational training, and employment support will help finance health insurance. One of the reasons foreign subscribers have a positive impact on health insurance finance is the low medical utilization rate. It can be said that young and healthy foreigners use fewer hospitals and clinics, but another aspect means that foreigners have difficulty using health insurance for various reasons. Therefore, various supports must be accompanied so that foreign subscribers can use medical services when necessary.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess public awareness and policy challenges faced by practicing nurses. Methods: After collecting nurse-related news articles published before and after 'the Thanks to You Challenge' campaign (between December 31, 2019, and July 15, 2020), keywords were extracted via preprocessing. A three-step method keyword analysis, latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling, and keyword network analysis was used to examine the text and the structure of the selected news articles. Results: Top 30 keywords with similar occurrences were collected before and after the campaign. The five dominant topics before the campaign were: pandemic, infection of medical staff, local transmission, medical resources, and return of overseas Koreans. After the campaign, the topics 'infection of medical staff' and 'return of overseas Koreans' disappeared, but 'the Thanks to You Challenge' emerged as a dominant topic. A keyword network analysis revealed that the word of nurse was linked with keywords like thanks and campaign, through the word of sacrifice. These words formed interrelated domains of 'the Thanks to You Challenge' topic. Conclusion: The findings of this study can provide useful information for understanding various issues and social perspectives on COVID-19 nursing. The major themes of news reports lagged behind the real problems faced by nurses in COVID-19 crisis. While the press tends to focus on heroism and whole society, issues and policies mutually beneficial to public and nursing need to be further explored and enhanced by nurses.

1960년대 재외동포교육기관으로 출범했던 한국교육원(이하 '교육원'이라 함)은 최근 신 한류의 확산 등으로 인해 역할과 기능 면에서 혁신이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교육원의 운영 실태와 변화 요구를 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 향후 발전 방향을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 설정하였다. 이를 위해서 관련 문헌 등을 분석하였고, 아울러 전, 현직 교육원장들을 대상으로 면담을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 재외동포의 변화, 한국어 수요 증가 등으로 인해 교육원의 변화를 요구하는 지역들이 증가하고 있었다. 그러나, 교육원의 주 대상을 '재외동포'로 규정한 '재외국민교육법'과 교육원의 '모호한 법적 지위', '영세한 조직규모' 등으로 인해 역할 전환에 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 따라서 현재의 제약 하에서 교육원에 새롭게 제기되는 요구들을 수용하기 위한 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서 무엇보다도 지역별로 교육 수요 변화를 체계적으로 진단하고, 그에 맞추어 교육원의 핵심 기능과 조직규모를 개편할 필요가 있다. 더 나아가 중장기적으로는 한국교육원의 역할 전환을 반영한 법적 근거와 지원체제를 마련할 필요가 있다.

The existence of Korean schools is one of the salient characteristics of Overseas Koreans. How do such schools for Korean immigrants' children try to construct Korean ethnic identity? Also, how is immigrant children's ethnic identity developed and reinforced by the education at those schools? This paper explores these questions based on an ethnographic research at a Korean school in Paris from September 2005 to December 2007. The cultural education for immigrant children at the Korean school has a tendency to emphasize the most exotic traits of Korean culture. And this emphasis on the unfamiliar elements of Korean culture doesn't seem to help to form the ethnic identity of Korean immigrants' children. Instead, the students appear to get the sense of being a member of Koreans more from the education outside of classroom such as scholastic events than in a classroom of a Korean school. That's because scholastic events allow them to play out some of the Korean culture in more inter-ethnic settings. Therefore, it can be concluded that ethnicity of immigrant children is rather developed in inter-ethnic social contexts than born with or taught in class.
