  • Climate change is a constant threat to human life, and it is important to understand the public perception of this issue. Previous studies examining climate change have been based on limited survey data. In this study, the authors used big data such as news articles and social media data, within which the authors selected specific keywords related to climate change. Using these natural language data, topic modeling was performed for discourse analysis regarding climate change based on various topics. In addition, before applying topic modeling, sentiment analysis was adjusted to discover the differences between discourses on climate change. Through this approach, discourses of positive and negative tendencies were classified. As a result, it was possible to identify the tendency of each document by extracting key words for the classified discourse. This study aims to prove that topic modeling is a useful methodology for exploring discourse on platforms with big data. Moreover, the reliability of the study was increased by performing topic modeling in consideration of objective indicators (i.e., coherence score, perplexity). Theoretically, based on the social amplification of risk framework (SARF), this study demonstrates that the diffusion of the agenda of climate change in public news media leads to personal anxiety and fear on social media.

  • This case focuses on WE CAN Cookies, a social enterprise in South Korea that was founded in 2001 with the support of the Korean Roman Catholic Church. WE CAN Cookies specializes in the making of high quality organic cookies. As a nonprofit organization that uses a labor force of mostly mentally disabled workers, the company faces many challenges that normal companies do not experience. The company had to initially overcome the social prejudice that the handicapped cannot make good cookies. Despite the religious background and social agenda of the company, it started making inroads as a cookie-making business only after its managers, including the nuns who run it began adopting modern management philosophies and practices. The WE CAN Cookies case illustrates three main marketing-related concepts: One, WE CAN Cookies is a good example of how social enterprises face a broader spectrum of challenges when compared to conventional profit-seeking enterprises. Two, WE CAN Cookies demonstrates that social enterprises need flexibility in formulating their business strategies. Even though WE CAN Cookies is subject to many constraints, as a social enterprise it can also take advantage of new opportunities for obtaining support from the government and from the private sector. Three, WE CAN Cookies shows that these types of operations need to create greater balance in their social and business competencies to ensure the long term viability. Social enterprises are certified by governments with the stated goal of improving the lives and the wellbeing of special interest group. As important as achieving these objectives are, social enterprises also must additionally be able to build their operational capabilities not only in manufacturing but also in functions such as marketing.

  • 이 논문에서는 한국의 재분배정책에 관한 사례 연구들을 바탕으로 삼아 재분배정책 과정에서 등장하는 주요 참여자들의 행태에 초점을 두고 이들간의 역동적 과정을 재분석함으로써 한국의 재분배 정책 과정에서 사회복지전문가들이 맡아야 할 역할은 무엇인가를 논의한다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 재분배정책 과정은 사회적 가치의 재분배와 관련되는 까닭에 그 성격상 사회 계층간의 이해 대립과 갈등이 전제가 되고, 이들 양자의 견해가 타협을 통해 정책에 반영되어야 하지만, 우리나라의 재분배정책 과정에서 클라이언트들의 활동은 거의 없었다. 재분배정책의 대상인 이들은 자금, 지식, 시간, 사회적 지위, 연줄 등 권력 자원의 결핍이 이들의 정책 과정에의 접근을 허용하지 않기 때문이다. 둘째, 결국 사회적 약자들이 보는 재분배의 문제는 정책꾼, 특히 대통령이나 정책 관료들에 의하여 제기되고 정책으로 전환되는 과정을 밟게 되는데, 이들의 정책 정향이 결코 복지지향적이 아니었고, 결국 재분배정책은 그 내용이 충실할 수 없었다. 셋째, 이들을 대러하여 재분배 문제를 정책 문제로 제기하고, 정책의제로 논의하는 과정에서 그것이 변질되지 않고 정책결정이 이루어질 수 있도록 감시하고 압력을 넣으며, 정책결정이 이루어진 다음에도 그것이 제대로 집행될 수 있도록 계속 감시하는 사회적 활동을 누군가가 맡아서 해야 할 것이다. 넷째, 이러한 역할은 사회 행동에 관한 방법론적 전문 지식을 가진 사회복지전문가가 담당하여야 한다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 학습지능과 사회지능이 행정규제정책순응에 미치는 영향을 비교해보는 것이다. 분석결과 발견된 내용은 크게 두 가지이다. 하나는 학습지능과 사회지능 사이의 상관성이 극히 낮다는 것이다. 즉, 아무리 학습지능이 높다고 하더라도 사회지능이 이에 비례해서 높아지는 것은 아니라는 것이다. 다른 하나는 사회지능이 학습지능보다 정책순응에 미치는 영향력이 크다는 것이다. 정책의 효율적인 집행을 위해서 사회지능을 무시해서는 성공할 수 없는 시대가 되었다. 따라서 행정규제정책의 전반적인 순환과정에 사회지능적 요소가 적극적으로 관여되도록 정책 당국과 시민사회 모두의 노력이 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 이 연구는 대표적인 사회갈등 사안인 한반도 대운하 건설 논란에 대하여 국내 방송이 찬성과 반대 입장에서 어떠한 시각으로 해석하고 이슈를 규명하는지 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 대운하 건설에 대한 보도방향으로는 방송 3사 모두 부정적 입장을 보이고 있으며, 찬성이나 반대가 아닌 중립적 보도비율도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 방송보도 프레임의 특성으로는 MBC와 KBS 뉴스는 정부의 정책집행 프레임 비율이 높았으며, SBS는 정치논리 프레임 비율이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 대운하 건설 주체이자 적극 찬성집단인 정부.여당의 경우, 정치논리와 정책집행 프레임의 비율이 매우 높았다. 그러나 대운하 반대집단인 민주당 등 야당과 사회.시민단체의 경우, 정치논리와 생태환경 프레임의 비율이 두드러졌다. 방송사별 틀 짓기 행위 프레임의 특징으로 MBC 뉴스의 경우 실체프레임의 비율이 높았으며, KBS와 SBS 뉴스는 정부.여당의 열망프레임의 비율이 매우 높았다. 결과적으로 특히 KBS와 SBS 뉴스는 경제성, 환경성, 안전성 등에 대한 합리적이고 민주적인 국민 여론을 무시한 체, 정부.여당의 권위적 대운하 정책집행과 열망논리로 일관했다고 풀이할 수 있다.

  • As the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is spreading its wings all over the world and, therefore, also in Vietnam, the logistics industry in Vietnam is facing a severe shortage of human resources in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The role of human resources management (HRM) becomes extremely important. Recruitment is considered the first major function of HRM practices and is the cornerstone of successful in business. In order to improve the recruitment strategy, recruiters need to better understand job pursuit intentions (JPI) of job seekers. Therefore, this study investigates how four dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) affect JPI among employees working in the logistics sector in Vietnam. The secondary data are from previous studies and published newspaper articles. Meanwhile, the primary data are collected from consultation with 10 experts and through five in-depth structured interviews with 30 randomly-selected employees as well as 288 survey questionnaires returned from employees in the logistics companies in Vietnam. The findings show that economic citizenship, legal citizenship and ethical citizenship are positively related to JPI of job seekers, where economic citizenship appears to be the most influential factor. The limitations of the study and an agenda for further research are put forward.

'실패한' 근대 집합주거의 실패요인에 관한 연구 (A Study on the Causes of Failure of the 'Failed' Modern Housing Projects)

  • This research is an effort to clarify the causes associated with the 'failure' of public housing projects built in the 20th century. Two of the most brutal symbol of failure were selected: the Pruitt-Igoe built in St. Louis, U.S.A. and the Bijlmermeer in the south of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Many critics have attributed the problems of the selected housing projects to architectural failure, and proposed a series of new approaches to architectural design. The claim that many housing projects 'failed' because they were based on an agenda for social reform, derived from the ideas of the CIAM, presupposes that architects were in the position of authority over providing housing for the poor. This research tries to overturn the belief of architectural community which has placed the responsibility for the failure of public housing on designers. The sense of isolation and powerlessness felt by the residents, and the social problems attendant on those feelings, may be reinforced by design but is not caused by Modern Architecture. It should be stressed that the political-economic and social context is more significant than the architectural design for the failure of public housing projects such as the Pruitt-Igoe and the Bijlmermeer.

  • As cultural diversity has gained a great deal of attention and the social fabric of Korean society is redefined, the number of studies on multi-cultural family homes has been growing in the area of human ecology, but relevant research is rarely found on the subject of housing. While the emphasis of housing research is on multidisciplinary approaches and empirical research is highly valued, a theoretical and methodological platform for discussing the new rising agenda of multi-cultural family homes is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore approaches to and to discuss the issues in research for multi-cultural family homes in terms of housing theories and multidisciplinary approaches. To understand the housing related needs of multi-cultural families, this study highlights social constructionism, the ecological perspective, and feminist epistemology. These three multidisciplinary approaches were useful for generating an ontological analysis of multi-cultural family homes. Further, this study highlights two housing related theories, the microsociological and housing pathways approaches, for dealing with multi-cultural family homes. In conclusion, the five approaches were useful for exploring issues in housing research on multi-cultural family homes with appropriate research methods like hermeneutics, quantitative, and qualitative methods, and field research. Insights into using perspectives and holistic approaches might be useful for solving the problems of multi-cultural family homes in Korea.

  • This study purports to verify managerial effectiveness of the integrated delivery system(IDS) of Japanese health care institutions through comparing the managerial performance between hospital groups providing with both acute and nursing care and those with acute care only. Data on the managerial performance of 697 hospitals providing with nursing care together and 819 hospitals providing with acute care only were collected from Japanese Central Social Insurance Medical Councils 2001, 2003, 2005, and were analyzed using mean comparison test(t-test) between the two groups. The results revealed that there were significant differences between the two groups in such indicators as ratio of material cost, labor cost, depreciation rate, total margin, operating margin, average number of outpatient per day, average revenue of an inpatient per day, total amount of labor cost, gross revenue per employee, and labor productivity. However, we could not find out any consistent evidence which support the effect of integrated delivery system on the hospital managerial performance. Further discussion was made on the limitation of the study and future research agenda relevant to the topic.
