Korea has been striving for the development of the nation in various aspects. It will also have to make an effort for its continued development in the future. The problems of low-income groups that occur in those processes cannot be simply ignored now. It is needed to provide an equal opportunity to low-income groups so that they can be part of the society. The cycle of economic problem should be disconnected through this process. Farm-Housing is one of the solutions to this problem. Its purposes are not only to provide residence in the complex, but to gain income through various activities, such as production, distribution and consumption, and solve part of the economic problems of the people living in the Farm-Housing. To sell the products of Farm-Housing, the neighboring cities need to be designated as a hinterland. For this reason, Farm-Housing needs to be located in the suburban area of large cities. However, the current laws and policies make it difficult to construct Farm-Housing in suburban areas. Presenting plans to solve such problem is the purpose of this paper.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of living cost reduction through social welfare services and programs and to suggest the further ways of saving living cost for low-income households. For the research purpose, low-income household type was divided into three representative groups such as senior household, household with school-aged children, and household with the disabled based on the literature review. Four case households which live in permanent rental apartment in Seoul were selected as research subjects. During March 14~April 10, 2010, each household was interviewed to examine the details of monthly income and expenditure structure and types of welfare services receiving. Although some differences exist among cases, there was a definite living cost reduction effect through welfare services and programs from 12% to 150%. Household with school-aged children required diversified education programs corresponding to the children's age. Meanwhile, households including senior and the disabled indicated the necessity of convenient transportation system.

본 연구는 무료급식소를 이용하는 아동의 가족유형에 따른 아동의 영양지식, 식습관 및 영양섭취상태를 파악하고 나아가 가족유형에 따른 차이를 비교, 분석하였다. 조사대상아동의 식습관은 아침 결식률이 매우 높게 나타났고, 특히 양부모 가정 아동보다 한부모 가정 아동의 경우 세끼를 모두 챙겨먹지 않는 비율이 유의적으로 높았다. 가족 유형별 영양지식점수 차이는 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 성별에 따른 영양지식점수는 차이를 보여서 철분의 기능에 대한 문항에 대해 한부모 가정 저학년 여학생들의 정답율이 남학생들보다 더 높았다. 양부모 가정에서도 단백질과 물의 기능, 영양소 필요량의 문항에 대해 저학년 여학생들의 정답율이 남학생들보다 더 높았다. 각 영양소 섭취량은 가족유형, 성별, 학년에 따른 유의적 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 식이섭유소, 엽산, 칼슘의 섭취량은 모든 어린이들에 있어서 권장량보다 낮았으며 반면 나트륨의 섭취량은 권장량의 3배이상으로 높았다. 이상의 연구 결과를 살펴보면 양부모 가정 아동보다 한부모 가정 아동의 식습관 및 영양섭취상태가 좋지 못한 경향으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 한부모 가정 아동을 위한 영양 교육과 영양 지원 프로그램 개발을 위한 정부와 각 기관의 관심과 인적, 물적 지원이 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 최저생계비 이하 저소득 노인가구를 대상으로 공적 지원인 국민기초생활보장 수급에서의 배제가 물질적 결핍에 미치는 영향에 있어 사회적 지지가 조절효과를 갖는지 살펴보고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 국가인권위원회가 2014년에 조사한 최저생계비 이하 저소득 가구 실태조사 자료를 사용하여 65세 이상 노인가구 255명의 응답자료를 분석하였다. 자료 분석은 STATA13 통계프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계분석, ANOVA, 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 연구결과 전체 응답 노인의 물질적 결핍의 평균 수준은 1.45개로 가장 큰 어려움은 '난방' 및 '의료서비스 이용'에서의 어려움으로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과, 기초생활보장 수급을 받다가 배제될 경우 수급을 받는 경우에 비해 물질적 결핍을 더 많이 경험하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 경우 사회적 지지가 높으면 부적(-) 상호작용효과가 발생하여 수급배제가 물질적 결핍에 미치는 정적인(+)효과를 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 저소득 노인 가구의 물질적 결핍 수준을 낮출 수 있도록 실천적, 정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze health service utilization, and its related factors in low income families who earned half of the average Korean household income. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey study in which a nationwide randomization sampling technique was used. The data were collected from July 12 to August 7, 1999, and the total sample size was 5,819 individuals, belonging to 1.753 households. Results: 1) In the utilization of health services for the last 3months, the pharmacy was the type of service that was the most utilized (32.0%), and the health center was the one that was the least utilized (10.3%). About 29% (29.2%) of the respondents could not utilize the health service at all. and 19.8% of the respondents terminated their medical treatments half way to completion because of financial difficulty (89.4%). 2) Analysis of the data using logistic regression showed that living with spouse, level of education, occupation, and income had statistically significant effects on health service utilization. Conclusion: The parameters of health care policies are equity and efficacy for health status, and the health service utilization by low income families. The conclusive resolution for these is the improvement of public health centers for an increased utilization rate of their services.

This research was conducted for the analysis the middle-old aged empty nest households' debt holdings and their financial status(emergency fund index, liquidity index, debt burden index) considering the level of income and assets. In order to accomplish this study, we made use of the KReIS third beta-version data. The results of the analysis were as follows. First, in all income asset groups there were more non-debts holding houses compared to debt holding houses. Moreover in debts holding houses, compared to other groups high income high assets groups were more. Second, the households that possessed more assets, had more debts. Third, the financial status of the households holding debts were more vulnerable compared to households that had no debts. Moreover, all income asset groups' emergency fund index were low. Households having no debts possessed low real assets and so the liquidity index was higher in holding debts households. In holding debts households, debt burden index was high. And especially these houses suffered from high debt burden when their income and asset were low.

본 연구의 목적은 한국복지패널데이터의 흡연음주 현황과 관련 건강위험요인을 연구분석 하는 데 있다. 성, 연령, 외래의료이용횟수, 주관적 건강수준, 흡연수준, 음주수준, 우울증상, 저소득 등이 주요 분석변수였다. 복지패널데이터에 있는 건강변수가 제한된 관계로 분석도 제한적으로 실시되었다. 흡연율은 성별 차이가 컸고, 특히 연령이 젊을수록 높았으며, 저소득 층에서 더 높았다. 20-29세 연령층의 경우 흡연율이 일반계층은 23.3%였고, 저소득층에서는 25%였다. 20대 남성흡연율은 일반가구 48.1%, 저 소득가구 47.4%로 큰 차이가 없었으나 30대에서는 일반가구 60.7%, 저 소득가구 71.0%로 가장 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 여성의 경우 전 연령층에서 저 소득층이 흡연율이 높았고 50대에서 일반가구 3.9%, 저 소득가구 10.5%로 가장 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 음주율 특성을 보면 일반가구에서 음주율은 오히려 높게 나타났는데, 일반가구는 전혀 안마신다는 비율이 36.7%, 저 소득가구는 58.4%였다. 흡연과 고위험 음주문제 모두에서 성별, 연령과 교육수준, 소득계층 등의 인구사회학적 변수가 유의한 영향요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 남성, 이십대 및 삼십대 연령층, 고졸이하의 학력, 저소득 가구일수록 건강위험요인의 정도가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 전반적으로는 여성의 건강이 더 안 좋다. 저소득층 여성의 흡연율은 일반가구 여성의 흡연 율보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 저소득층일수록 건강위험행동을 경험하고, 더 많은 의료서비스 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 보건소 이용경험은 저소득층은 4.6%, 일반계층은 1% 정도였다. 2005년도의 건강영양조사결과에서도 건강수준이나 활동제한의 정도가 각 연령별로 분석해도 저소득층일수록 더 안 좋은 상태인 것으로 나타난 바 있다. 본 연구에서 흡연과 음주와 관련된 심리적 요인과 소득수준의 요인이 유의한 영향력이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 건강위험행동과 관련하여 개인의 심리적 요인에 대하여 향후 심층적인 연구를 할 필요가 있다. 사회경제적 어려움으로 인하여 개인이 경험하는 우울과 같은 심리적 요인이 건강위험행동을 지속하게 하는 요인이 될 수 있기 때문이다.

Cervical cancer remains the most frequent cancer in women from the developing world. More than 88% of deaths occur in low-income countries, and it is predicted to climb to 91.5% by 2030. Although Pap-based screening programmes have shown to be effective in reducing the disease burden in high-resource countries, implementation and sustention of cytology-based programmes is quite challenging in low-resource settings. The present paper reviews evidence-based alternatives of screening methods, triaging algorithm, treatment of cervical precancerous lesions, and age-group at screening appropriate for low-income countries. Evidence shows that visual inspection methods using diluted acid acetic or Lugol's iodine, and HPV-DNA testing are more sensitive tests than the Pap-smear screening test. Visual inspection allows an immediate result and, when appropriate, may be immediately followed by cryotherapy, the so called "screen-and-treat" approach, achieved in a single visit, by trained nurses and midwives. Examples of cervical cancer prevention programmes in India and selected low-income countries are given.
