Designing the User-Based Voluntary Service Recommendation Program proposed in this study was motivated by the fact that it is not easy for volunteers to find a place for their services. Even though there are many volunteer centers or organizations, volunteers often experience difficulty in where and how they should apply for their work as those places are not well promoted. Thus, this program has been designed by applying the mobile push services along with location technology. The authors plan to introduce the program to the public as an open source by implementing the program with both Android and Python - hoping that the program will be useful to the users and volunteer organizations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the current congregate meal service program for homebound elderly. One hundred three meal service centers in charge of the congregate meal service programs as part of the elderly foodservice program were surveyed for administrative structure, menu management, food purchasing and production management, hygiene, equipment, and facilities. Statistical data analyses were completed using the SAS 8.1 program for descriptive analysis and ANOVA. The meal cost of 54.4% of the congregate meal service centers ranged from ￦l,500 to ￦l,999 per meal. According to the menu analysis, all nutrients except calcium and Vitamin B2 were at levels of more than 33% of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for Koreans. A total of 81.5% of the centers were operated without the services of a dietitian, and food purchasing, menu planning and other foodservice management processes were handled by non-professionals, such as volunteers, cooks or social workers. Although 88.3% of the centers required a therapeutic diet menu for the health of the elderly, most directors (77.6%) replied that in their current status they could not afford to serve therapeutic diets. These results suggest that financial and systematic supports by government is very necessary. Fifty-five percent of the centers never used standard recipes.

본 연구는 우리나라 보건소의 재난대응 관련사업의 실태와 향후 방향에 대한 의견을 파악하고자 전국의 5개 보건소를 대상으로 개방형 설문지를 활용하여 연구자가 직접 2017년 9월 1개월 동안 방문하여 심층 면담을 통한 조사결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 조사대상 보건소는 재난대비 대응에 있어서 시 군 구의 협조기관으로 생각하는 경향이 있었고, 구급지원, 감염병 위기관리 및 방역실시, 을지훈련참여, 재난훈련 및 연수 등이 활동의 전부로 수동적인 활동이었으며, 보건소 자체 프로그램은 필요하다고 생각하고 있었다. 보건소가 시 군 구의 협력기관으로 활동하는 것도 중요하지만, 재난발생 시 보건활동의 중심적인 역할을 위해서는 보건기관 자체의 총괄보건 활동체계가 구축되어야 할 것이다. 재난은 언제 닥칠지 모르는 것이므로, 이를 위해 필요한 매뉴얼의 개발이 시급한 것으로 보인다. 총괄보건활동체계를 구축하기 위해서는 먼저 보건소를 시 군 구의 협력기관으로만 생각하는 시각을 변화시킬 필요가 있다. 시각의 변화가 쉽지는 않겠지만 관 학 협력으로 일부 가능할 것으로 생각한다. 재난 시에 지역주민에게 필요한 것은 의료지원이나 감염병위기 관리에 국한되지 않는다. 주민의 생활지원은 물론 건강관리 및 영양지원, 정신보건의료, 대피소 환경관리 및 봉사자 관리 등 보건의료 전반에 대한 지원이 필요하다. 보건소의 인력별 역할 및 기능에 따라 운영될 수 있는 시스템이 준비되어야 할 것이다.
