  • 조리 및 외식 관련 전공자 가운데 해외 취업과 인턴쉽에 경험이 있는 사람을 대상으로 해외 취업 및 인턴쉽에 대한 인식과 만족도를 조사하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자는 남자가 50.9%, 여자가 49.1%이었으며, 20대가 주를 이루었다. 응답자의 42.1%는 해외 취업을, 57.9%는 인턴쉽을 경험하였으며, 체류 기간은 1년 미만이 42.1%로 가장 많았다. 2. 해외 취업 또는 인턴쉽을 하게 된 동기는 남녀 모두 다양한 해외 문화 체험과 견문 확대의 기회를 꼽았으며, 종사 업무는 남녀 모두 양식 분야가 54.4%로 가장 많았다. 3. 해외 취업 또는 인턴쉽을 희망하는 후배들에게 권하고 싶은 취업 분야는 남자의 경우 51.7%가 양식을, 37.9%는 일식을 권장한 반면 여자의 경우는 양식에 대해서는 46.4%가, 일식에 대해서는 7.1%가 권장하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 또한, 후배들에게 권하고 싶은 준비 항목으로 남녀 모두(72.4%, 60.7%) 언어 능력을 가장 많이 선택하였으며, 다음은 새로운 환경에 대한 적응력(남녀 각각 10.3%, 32.1%)으로 남녀간 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.01). 4. 해외 취업 또는 인턴쉽 수행에 대한 인식을 5점 Likert법으로 조사한 결과, 남자는 '나는 현재의 업무를 계속하고 싶다(4.21)'가 가장 높았으며, 다음은 ‘나의 업무는 매우 가치가 있다(4.14)’로 나타났다. 여자는 '주방의 동료 및 선배와의 관계가 원활하다(4.11)'가 가장 높은 점수이었고, 다음은 '나는 업무 외의 해외 생활에 만족한다(4.00)'와 '나는 현재의 업무를 계속하고 싶다(4.00)'로 나타났으며, 전체 평균은 남자가 3.84와 여자가 3.78로 비교적 높은 인식 점수를 보였다. 5. 해외 취업 및 인턴 업무 수행에 대한 중요도 및 만족도를 5점 Likert법으로 조사한 결과, 중요도의 경우, 남자는 '부서간의 협력(4.52)', '언어(4.38)', '주방 환경(4.34)'을, 여자는 '언어(4.36)', '대인관계(4.21)' '급여(4.18)'를 매우 중요하게 생각하였다. 한편, 만족도의 경우는 남자는 '업체의 규모(4.28)', '주방 환경(4.21)', '업무시간(4.10)'을, 여자는 '주방 환경'과 '인센티브(4.14)', '대인관계(4.11)'를 만족스럽게 생각하였다. 중요도에 대한 전체적인 반응은 남자가 4.18, 여자가 4.06인 것에 비해 만족도에 대한 전체적인 생각은 남자가 3.75, 여자가 3.78로 나타나 중요하다고 생각하는 것에 비해 만족도는 상대적으로 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 조리 및 외식 관련 전공자들 중 해외 취업과 해외 인턴 경험자를 추적하기가 쉽지 않았던 관계로 표본수가 제한적이어서 그 결과를 일반화하는데 다소 무리가 있음을 간과할 수 없으나, 본 자료를 근거로 이들 전공자에 맞는 맞춤형 인턴 제도의 개발과 이를 통한 취업의 활로 개척이 시급함을 엿볼 수 있었다. 부분적으로 나마 이를 해소할 수 있는 방안으로는 조리 및 외식 관련 분야 인턴의 선발, 교육, 업체 확보, 관리 등 인턴 업무에 관한 모든 업무를 총괄하여 처리할 수 있는 센터나 기구의 설립이 그 예가 될 수 있을 것이다. 지금까지 주로 민간업체의 주도하에 인턴 파견 업무 알선을 이용함으로써 대행료 등의 부담스러운 비용 문제 발생과 신뢰성 여부의 부담을 주기는 하였지만, 조리 및 외식업계의 해외 진출은 거의 이들 사설업체의 기여도가 높은 편이다. 그러나 앞으로는 노동부와 한국산업인력공단이 함께 운영하는 월드 잡(world job) 사이트를 활용하면 보다 쉽고 보다 유리한 조건으로 해외 취업의 길이 열릴 것이므로 이에대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요하다. 또한, 자료를 통해 언급했던 2015년까지 정부 주도하의 글로벌 청년 리더 양성 프로그램을 이용하여도 좋은 기회가 될 것이다. 다만, 현장 경력이나 기본적인 의사 소통을 위한 외국어의 준비도 함께 병행해야함은 물론이다. 그리고 본 설문 조사에서 낮은 점수로 언급된 것과는 다르게 한식 자격증을 기본적으로 갖추는 것이 필요하다고 권장하고자 한다. 그 이유는 한국산업인력공단의 해외 취업고를 살펴보면 실제로 외국 주재 대사관이나 해외 진출 건설업계의 급식 시설에 파견할 파견 조리사중에는 한식 조리사를 찾는 비중이 높기 때문이다. 2005년 해외 취업 가이드에서 언급되었듯이 한식 분야에 대한 현지의 수요가 점차 늘어나는 추세인 만큼 이에 대한 새로운 각오로 임하는 것이 무엇보다도 필요하며, 드라마를 통한 한류 바람을 타고 일본, 중국을 비롯한 동남아 권에도 한식 열풍이 일기 시작하고 있으므로 한식 조리사에 대한 수요가 많아질 전망이다. 따라서 이런 현상에 대한 실제적인 수요 조사를 좀 더 구체적으로 실시한 후, 현지화 전략이 가능한, 한국 음식에 관한 제대로 된 조리교육을 받은 조리사 양성이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • This paper tries to explore the local uniqueness and evolutionary characteristics of the spatial structure of the rural dwelling houses of China's Korean Ethnic. For this purpose, the paper selected 51 typical samples in each district, analyzing their ancestral home, building age, size, construction method, family composition etc. Moreover, the paper classified the pattern of the samples and analyzed the characteristic and evolutionary process of each pattern. Conclusions based on the analysis of the ancestral homes are as follows: 1.The house pattern of these China's Korean ethnics who are originally from the Hamkyung province is mainly jeongji- access type (A-type). A-type is mainly distributed along the Tumen River and Yalu River, in the Sino-Russian borders and the inland areas of Heilongjiang province. With the migration of the China's Korean ethnics, in Sino-Russian borders and the inland areas of Heilongjiang province, A-type with the 'badang' space, vestibule-access type (C-type) and living-centered type (D-type) appeared. 2. House patterns of Korean ethnics who are originally from the Pyongan province include three types: A-type, kitchen type (B-type) and C-type. A-type is mainly distributed along the Yalu River while B-type and C-type are mainly in the inland areas of these three Northeast provinces. With the decrease of population, the merger of rooms happened in A-type; while in the B-type and C-type, bathroom and storage came to exist in the north of the room. 3. The house pattern of Korean ethnics who are originally from the Gyeongsang province is mainly B-type, which is distributed in the inland areas of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. Besides, C-type and D-type also exist. They are in Jilin and Liaoning provinces. In the process of evolution, storage was set in the north part of the room or the window was cancelled in order to defend the coldness in Heilongjiang area, while in Jilin and Liaoning provinces, living room came into existence, which is gradually developing to D-type.

  • The objectives of the study were to determine 1) if energy consumption and conservation vary in clothing, food, and housing with independent variables-size of household, homemaker's age, employment, and level of education, level of living, type of house, electricity use, and all energy use, and 2) if there is a correlation among energy conservation practices in clothing, food, and housing. Questionnaires wee given to the randomly selected homemakers in Seoul in July, 1980. Data from 620 responses were analyzed by F-test (Analysis of Variance) and Correlation. The results are as follows: 1. Clothing (1) the scores of the conservation practices I clothing were generally high. /However, it was found that a) they did not practice in wearing heavy under clothes and behavior outer clothing to cope with cool room temperature in the winter, b) they did not use bleach for laundry, but they used boiling method, and c) they did not have enough knowledge on Permanent Press finish. (2) energy conservation practices in clothing were significantly related to level of living and homemakrer's level of education. a) The higher the level of living, the higher scores in the knowledge were found. b) the higher the homeakcer's level of education, the higher scores in the knowledge and ironing were obtained. 2. Food (1) The scores of the conservation practices in food were generally high. However, it was found that scientific cooking methods were not performed such as a) to use measuring spoons, cups, and timers, b) to practice a simple method in using solor energy for warming water, c) to use thermos for the hot water tea or coffee, but they boiled water whenever necessary, and b) to use the pressure cooker whenever possible. (2) Energy conservation practices in food were significantly related to homemaker's employment and type of dwellings. a) The scores of full-time homemakers (not gainfully employed) were higher than gainfully employed homemakers. b) Families in traditional Korean dwellings revealed higher scores than those in apartment or western style dwellings. 3. Housing (1) The scores of the conservation practices in housing were generally high. However, it was found that a) they did not install fans in the kitchen, bathroom, and attic in the summer, b) they did not install a humidifier for tolerating a lower room temperature in the winer, c) they did not practice to make plans for the door of the refrigerator remained open for the shortest time, d) they did not install or use a local lighting with a general lighting for reading and cooking, and e) they usedaluminum foil without the knowledge of the heat reaction of its shiny and dull sides. (2) energy conservation practices in housing were significantly related to homemaker's employment and level of education, economic status, types of dwelling, and all energy use, a) Full-time homeakers had higher scores than gainfully employed homeakers. b) the higher the homemaker's level of education and economics status, the higher scores were obtained. c) Homeakers with their own house scored higher points than those with rented houses. And families in apartment or row houses scored higher points than those in traditional korean or western style dwellings. d) The higher the consumption rate of electricity and all energy, the higher scores were revealed. 4. correlation there was a significant correlation among energy conservation practices I clothing, food, and housing.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the situation of internal facilities and sanitary management of elementary, middle, and high school foodservice in Chonbuk area. Self administered questionnaires were collected from 252 nutrition teachers and school dietitians. Statistical data analysis was completed using a SPSS 11.5 program. The results are summarized as follows: Approximately 99.2% of the subjects were women and those who were married accounted for 76.6%. Those in their 30s to 40s accounted for over 87%, those with more than 11 years experience accounted for 56.8%, and those 69.0% were regular nutrition teachers. Among the 280 school foodservice systems, 51.6% of the schools were located in urban areas and 48.0% in rural areas. About 68% of the schools prepared meals the conventional way and 32.3% prepared them the commissary way. The number of employees accounted for in the schools was 37.7% with 1 to 3 employees, 27.8% with 4 to 6 employees, and 25.4% with 7 to 9 employees. About 54% of schools have an expectance of school meal service for more than 11 years. However 67.5% of their facilities had not been remodeled since the implementation of the foodservice. As a result of the conditions of the school foodservice facilities, there were significant differences between elementary and middle & high schools; preparation room (p<0.01), toilet (p<0.01), and boiler room (p<0.01). About 62% of the nutrition teachers responded that they were dissatisfied with the situation of the facilities (e.g. size and materials of the kitchen, heating and cooling systems). The washing and disinfection methods in elementary, middle and high schools were very different, because they had no sanitizers and disinfectant guidelines. Therefore the governmental regulating agencies must review and approve of the plans prior to new construction or extensive remodeling of the school foodservice facilities. In addition, we suggest that it is necessary to provide practical sanitizers and disinfectant guidelines and other useful education.

  • Dwelling connotes characteristics like social and cultural and technical climatic conditions, lifestyles and demands of regions, and especially, apartment, as one of dwelling types, shows various aspects of modern society. With the economic development centering on large cities, apartments have been established as universal housing forms in Seoul and Shanghai. The deepening of economic development in cities has increased small households consisting of one or two persons by affecting the population and household structure, and they've become information consumer groups. This has also influenced the size of apartment and increased the demand for small-sized housing. If the floor area is small, it is possible to use space widely according to the plan composition, so there is a need for floor planning to understand natural environment, physical environment and residents.This study compared and analyzed plan compositions of small-sized apartments which have been parceled out for the recent three years in Seoul and Shanghai. This study aims to understand housing cultures and users in the two countries depending on natural environments, living habits and spatial functions by analyzing common points and differences of public spaces like living room, dining room and kitchen, and private spaces like bedroom which have absolute effects on room arrangement and traffic line. The study results are as follows. From the perspective of natural environments, in Seoul, two-sided open cross-ventilation structure where is favorable to lighting and ventilation, occupied the biggest proportion of public space, while in Shanghai, most public spaces had lighting and ventilation structures through windows in each room. In Seoul, 3R type occupied the largest proportion of private space(87.7%), and privacy was maintained and space scale was adjusted using spaces with diverse functions such as bathroom in the couple bedroom, dress room and powder room and variable walls. But 2R type occupied the largest proportion of private space(60.2%) in Shanghai, and they emphasized private space and privacy of each room depending on major living habits. In conclusion, this study for comparing and analyzing common points and differences of small-sized apartment plan compositions in Seoul and Shanghai will provide proper guidelines for small-sized apartments to be built in Seoul and Shanghai in the future, if strong points and weak points of plan compositions in the two countries will be additionally analyzed and remedied.

  • Nakseonjae in Changdeokgung Palace was established at The King Hunjong's 13rd year (1847), the mid-19th century. It was constructed for own rests of King Hunjong and the residence of Kyungbin (king's concubines), and is showing features of upper-class houses from several points such as rustic architectural types by getting out of authoritative aspects as king's shelter space within the palace, block and floor distribution that separated spaces for men and women, simplicity in structures and styles, and non-colorful painting etc. This study aims at tracing on which architectural types did the upper-class houses within Hanyang (modern Seoul) at late Joseon Dynasty have and what was characteristics of Nakseonjae. The resemblance between Nakseonjae and the upper-class houses was very little differences from scale aspects, and floor plan shapes of Anchae (women's quarters) and Sarangchae (men's quarters) were followed basic common styles. Also, resemblance could be confirmed in the structural styles too. Characteristics of Nakseonjae are showing apparent differences from clearance compositions such as hall configuration etc. Nakseonjae was king's dwelling place, and spaces for house's collateral functions such as kitchen, stable, and warehouse etc together with shrine were unnecessary, and such places were substituted into servants' quarters for assisting the Royal family. In detailed structural styles, column's size was larger 3cm or more than the upper-class houses, and its height was higher to the degree of 30~60cm. Besides, formality as king's shelter space was raised more in decorating aspects, and Nakseonjae was implemented by getting architectural influences from Qing Dynasty of China. This study induced features of Hanyang's upper-class houses at the 19th century by supplementing distribution and space configurations at existing cases of Seoul and Gyeonggi area together with house diagrams having been collected by Gaokdohyung (site and floor plan) of Jangseogak Library, and confirmed resemblances and differences with Nakseonjae, that is, features of Nakseonjae. Through the result, this study judges a fact that architecture of Nakseonjae seemed to be affected from conveniences of upper-class houses within Hanseong, and also architectural styles and distribution types of Nakseonje would give influences to the upper-class houses.

  • The study was conducted from November 1995 to May 1996 at the one general hospital in Seoul. The total subjects of this study were 412 patients who have the experience of fall accident, among them 31 was who have fallen during hospitalization and 381 was who visited emergency room and out patient clinic. The purposes of this study were to determine the characteristics, risk factors and results of fall accident and to suggest the nursing strategies for prevention of fall. Data were collected by reviewing the medical records and interviewing with the fallers and their family members. For data analysis, spss/pc+ program was utilized for descriptive statistics, adjusted standardized $X^2$-test. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Total subjects were 412 fallers, of which 245(59.5%) were men and 167(40.5%) were women. Age were 0-14 years 79(19.2%), 15-44 years 125(30.4%), 45-64 years 104(25.2%), over 65 years 104(25.2%). 2) There was significant association between age and the sexes ($X^2$=39.17, P=0.00). 3) There was significant association between age and history of falls ($X^2$=44.41. P= .00). And history of falls in the elderly was significantly associated with falls. 4) There was significant association with age and medical diagnosis ($X^2$=140.66, P= .00), chief medical diagnosis were hypertension(34), diabetis mellitus(22), arthritis(11), stroke(8), fracture(7), pulmonary tuberculosis(6), dementia(5) and cataract(5), 5) There was significant association between age and intrinsic factors: cognitive impairment, mobility impairment, insomnia, emotional problems, urinary difficulty, visual impairments, hearing impairments, use of drugs (sedatives , antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, antidepressants) (P < 0.05). But there was no significant association between age and dizziness ($X^2$=2.87, P=.41). 6) 15.3% of total fallers were drunken state when they were fallen. 7) Environmental factors of fall accident were unusual posture (50.9%), slips(35.2%), trips (9.5%) and collision(4.4%). 8) Most of falls occurred during the day time, peak frequencies of falls occurred from 1pm to 6pm and 7am to 12am. 9) The places of fall accident were roads(22.6%), house-stairs 06.7%), rooms, floors, kitchen (11.2%), the roof-top, veranda, windows(10.9%), hospital(7.5%), ice or snowy ways(5.8%), bathroom(4.9%), playground, park(4.9%), subway-stairs(4.4%) and public-bathrooms (2.2%). 10) Activities at the time of fall accident were walking(37.6%), turning around or reaching for something(20.9%), going up or down stairs09.2%), exereise, working07.4%), up or down from a bed(2.7%), using wheelchair or walking aids, standing up or down from a chair(2.2%) and standing still(2.2%). 11) Anatomical locations of injuries by falls were head, face, neck(31.3%), lower extremities (29.9%). upper extremities(20.6%), spine, thorax, abdomen or pelvic contents(l1.4%) and unspecified(2.9%). 12) Types of injures were fracture(47.6%), bruises03.8%), laceration (13.3%), sprains(9.0%), headache(6.6%), abrasions(2.9%), intracranial hemorrage(2.4%) and burns(0.5%). 13) 41.5% of the fallers were hospitalized and average of hospitalization was 22.3 days. 14) The six fallers(1.46%) died from fall injuries. The two fallers died from intracranial hemorrage and the four fallers died of secondary infection; pneumonia(2), sepsis(1) and cell lulitis(1). It is suggested that 1) Further study is needed with larger sample size to identify the fall risk factors. 2) After the fall accident, comprehensive nursing care and regular physical exercise should be emphasized for the elderly person. 3) Safety education and safety facilities of the public place and home is necessary for fall prevention.
