The study introduces and validates a model of post-traumatic growth among parents of children with special needs. The model incorporates cognitive processes, coping strategies, and sociocultural factors as intra-personal variables. The statistical analysis unveiled significant pathways that connect the factors, explaining 71% of the variance associated with post-traumatic growth. The study highlighted intentional reflection and robust decentralization skills as crucial factors that predict post-traumatic growth. Deliberate rumination functioned as a mediating factor, reducing the impact of trauma and facilitating post-traumatic growth, while social support played a crucial role in initiating purposeful rumination. The study findings indicate that the effect of self-disclosure on post-traumatic growth is not direct but rather indirect, as it is mediated by its influence on social support and deliberate rumination. The study underscores the significance of examining particular characteristics of social support networks and suggests integrating additional variables for future research, such as gender, types of traumatic events, and the age of children with disabilities.

본 연구는 사회적협동조합에 대한 이론적 검토와 4차에 걸친 실태조사 결과를 바탕으로 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 협동조합 7대 원칙을 중심으로 사회적·경제적·환경적 측면에서 논의하고자 하였다. 지속가능성의 문제는 "미래 세대가 그들의 필요를 충족시킬 능력을 저해하지 않으면서 현재 세대의 필요를 충족시키는 발전, 자원의 이용, 투자의 방향, 기술의 발전 그리고 제도변화가 서로 조화를 이루며 현재와 미래의 모든 세대의 필요와 욕구를 증진시키는 변화의 과정"으로 정의되었듯이. 사회적 가치와 환경보전 그리고 경제성장이 상호 대립되는 개념이 아닌 조화와 균형으로 미래 세대에도 지속가능한 사회를 연결하자는 의미를 담고 있다. 지속가능한 발전에 담겨진 사회적·경제적·환경적 지속가능성의 개념과 협동조합 7대 원칙과 연계성을 정리한 결과, 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 다음과 같이 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 지역사회 밀착형 사회공헌에 노력해야 한다. 둘째, 공익과 더불어 수익모델을 창출해야 한다. 셋째, 파트너십을 강화해야 한다. 본연구를 통해 사회적협동조합이 실현하고자 하는 공익적 가치와 목적을 살펴볼 때, 지속가능한 발전의 세 가지 범위는 현 사회적경제 조직이 직면하고 있는 사회적·경제적 가치 추구를 위한 중요한 행위자로서의 역할과 직결된다 하겠다. 따라서 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성 문제는 사회적협동조합이 추구하는 목적과 가치가 환경적·사회적·경제적 측면에서의 조화와 균형발전이라는 개념에 기초하여 사회적협동조합 스스로의 노력뿐만 아니라 정부의 제도적인 뒷받침이 제시되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the reasons why college students use Facebook and the ways in which they feel of social presence while using Facebook. In fact, the study aimed to specify the links between motivations for using SNS and a sense of 'being together'. The findings of this study suggest that major motivations of SNS use were social interaction, entertainment, self-presentation, and information-seeking. Specifically, results from a survey of 280 respondents revealed that college students used Facebook to seek maintenance and connection with friends, to express themselves, to get information about school activities, and to be entertained. These findings are consistent with the existing literature regarding SNS as a primary channel to maintain the existing social relationships among college students. The study also found that all motivation factors, except information-seeking factor, were positively and significantly related to social presence. The strongest correlations were between social presence and Facebook use for social interaction and entertainment needs. It seemed that users who seek social interaction and entertainment needs are more likely to feel a sense of being with others while users who seek to get information are less likely to feel a sense of social presence. These findings implied that to some extent, a sense of social presence occurs in the context of Facebook and that the experience of social presence depends on what college students seek from Facebook use. In addition, the results showed a positive relationship between Facebook use and social presence; the more college students use Facebook, the more they are likely to experience sense of social presence. Given that Facebook provides college students with a place where they can share thought and feelings among friends, it can be concluded that Facebook contributes to the sense of belonging among users. And such feeling may enhance a sense of presence with others while using Facebook. These findings suggest that uses and gratifications researchers should consider the concept of social presence as an important variable in explaining what audience members do with media.

Relevance has a long history of scholarly investigation and discussion in information science. One of its notable concepts is that of 'user-based' relevance. The purpose of this study is to examine how users construct their perspective on the concept of relevance; to analyze what the constituent elements (facets) of relevance are, in terms of core-periphery status; and to compare the difference of constructions of two groups of users (information users vs. information professionals) as applied with a social representations theory perspective. Data were collected from 244 information users and 123 information professionals through use of a free word association method. Three methods were employed to analyze data: (1) content analysis was used to elicit 26 categories (facets) of the concept of relevance; (2) structural analysis of social representations was used to determine the core-periphery status of those facets in terms of coreness, sum of similarity, and weighted frequency; and, (3) maximum tree analysis was used to present and compare the differences between the two groups. Elicited categories in this study overlap with the ones from previous relevance studies, while the findings of a core-periphery analysis show that Topicality, User-needs, Reliability/Credibility, and Importance are configured as core concepts for the information user group, while Topicality, User-needs, Reliability/Credibility, and Currency are core concepts for the information professional group. Differences between the social representations of relevance revealed that Topicality was similar to User-needs and to Importance. Author is closely related to Title while Reliability/Credibility is linked with Currency. Easiness/Clarity is similar to Accuracy. Overall, information users and professionals function with a similar social collective of shared meanings for the concept of relevance. The overall findings identify the core and periphery concepts of relevance and their relationships in terms of coreness, similarity, and weighted frequency.

Since public rental housings (social housings) in Korea are extremely standardized and uniformed, a variety of needs of residents for their housing are hardly satisfied. Public rental housing conditions, its low quality and size limitations regardless of residents type and needs resulted into negative images of social housing and social discriminations. Therefore there is a growing demand for alternative housing options in terms of diversification of social housing design with consideration for changing households and housing requirements. The purpose of this study to investigate some housing design guidelines, to analyze layout of building complex, community designs, household units and characteristics, overall design characteristics (sustainable design features, facade design, window and balcony composition, color and materials) and to provide some design suggestions for social housing. Design guidelines are classified into site planning and building layouts, residential building and household units, and performance of housing. Community facilities and their design features provide uniqueness of the public residence. Overall housing size of foreign cases is bigger than the domestic cases. Narrow shape of household units are more dominant in Korean public rental housing. More various shape and forms are found in facade and window design in foreign cases. Some design suggestion are provided for more diverse housing units and design for public rental housing in Korea.

For many years, many academics and practitioners have paid attention to the increasing popularity of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its relationship with financial performance. They have shown that creating social and sustainable responsibility can strengthen the organization's financial performance as the organization can achieve its current needs without compromising the ability to meet future needs. While much theoretical and empirical evidence has been provided to support this argument in developed countries, this topic is under-researched, and the outcomes are controversial in developing countries. Therefore, this paper aims to examine and investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance in Vietnamese organizations. The dataset includes 27 firms listed on the stock market exchanges in Ho Chi Minh city (HOSE) and Hanoi (HNX) from 2015 to 2019. The disclosure approach is adopted to measure corporate social activities; four areas were developed: environment, community, employee and product, customer, and supplier practices. Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) are two proxies for measuring financial performance. The research results confirm the existing literature with a strong correlation between employees and returns on average assets.

이 논문의 목적은 도시 성장의 패러다임이 양적 성장에서 질적 발전으로 전환되어야 한다는 문제의식에서 사회적 지속가능성의 담론을 고찰하고 실천적 과제를 탐색하는 데 있다. 그간 한국의 도시성장은 질적인 발전을 외면한 채 양적 팽창에 중점을 두어왔고, 그 결과 총량적 부는 달성하였지만 도시 빈곤과 사회적 양극화, 복지와 삶의 질 악화 등 도시 내 사회적으로 지속가능하지 못한 문제들을 양산해왔다. 이에 사회적 지속가능성은 형평성을 근간으로 도시민의 사회적 필요를 충족시키고, 사회적 발전이 지속되는 데 관심을 가진다는 점에서 도시 발전의 불평등과 분배 문제에 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 아울러 사회적 지속가능성은 내발적 주체로서 도시민의 역량을 강화하고 거버넌스를 증진하는 기제가 될 수 있다. 지속가능한 발전에 관한 논의에서 출발한 사회적 지속가능성은 서구 학계를 중심으로 점차 그 중요성이 부각되면서 개념과 실천적 과제가 연구자에 따라 다양하게 논의되고 있는 한편, 국내에서는 아직까지 사회적 지속가능성에 대한 관심이 부족하고 제도적 장치가 불비하다. 그럼에도 사회적 지속가능성의 개념과 실천적 과제들은 오랜 기간 양적 성장 위주로 발전하면서 그 모순이 누적되어 온 한국 도시의 향후 발전 경로에 시사하는 점이 크다.

A series of heavy rainfall, typhoon and earthquake disasters caused a proportionately large number of deaths among the elderly in the year 2004 in Japan. In response to these tragedies, the national government set up committees to reduce damage within the disaster vulnerable population for the next three years. The discussions in the committee led to a new conceptualization that disaster vulnerability was caused by a lack of interaction between a person's special needs and the environment's capacity and resources to meet them. This person-in-environment model of hazard vulnerability was applied to those who resided in the Nankai-Tonankai tsunami hazard-prone area. 123 home care service users were interviewed in terms of their self-evacuation ability, degree of social isolation, and building weakness as well as tsunami exposure risks. Results were quantified and scores of person-in-environmentmodel hazard vulnerability were obtained. These scores were then used to visualize socially created vulnerability by means of weighted kernel density mapping of both persons with special needs (PSN's) and persons with special needs at times of disaster (PSND's).

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the characteristics of caregivers and adults with intellectual disability, and social support, family function, and rehabilitation needs in caregivers. Methods : A total 98 pairs of adults with intellectual disability and their caregivers participated in this study. The researchers examined the general characteristics of the adults with intellectual disability and their caregivers. The evaluation included analysis of the level of activities of daily living, ability to communicate, and health status of the adults with intellectual disability, while the family income, health status, utility and the need for rehabilitation, social support (multidimensional scaled perceived social support, MSPSS) and family function (adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve, and APGAR index) of the caregivers were measured. The data collected were analyzed to determine the relationship of the characteristics of adults with intellectual disability and the social support, family function, and rehabilitation needs of caregivers using regression and correlation analysis. Results : The rehabilitation needs were significantly correlated with the age of the adults with intellectual disability (p<.01), and the subjective health status of the caregivers (p<.05). The education level of the caregivers affected social support significantly ($R^2=.058$, p=.021). The communication ability of the adults with intellectual disability affected family function ($R^2=.071$, p=.01). The social support of caregivers had a significant effect on family function ($R^2=.488$, p<.001). Conclusion : These findings suggest that the barriers to community rehabilitation should be lowered, and the authors discussed the results of the present investigation.
