Abstract

This study was conducted to figure out measures to improve abandoned mine area residents' life satisfaction from the viewpoint of ecosystems. The subjects of this study were 195 residents aged at least 30 years and structured survey were used collected from April, 3, 2014 to 20. The levels of abandoned mine area residents' mental health were measured using the general mental health scale and the residents' life satisfaction was examined using a life satisfaction scale. The abandoned mine area resident's life satisfaction was a little higher than the middle and their future life satisfaction was shown to be the lowest. Out of the microsystemic factors, mental health degree contributing to the quality of life and those with lower depression and anxiety showed higher life satisfaction. None of the mesosysystemic factors, were not found to influencing the quality of life. Out of the macrosystemic factors were found to be mine area special law in influencing the quality of life. In order to improve the life satisfaction of the mine locals seem to need practical strategies related for maintaining a healthy mind and continued implementation of the economic revitalization policy.

본 연구는 생태체계적 관점에서 폐광지역주민의 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인을 살펴봄으로써 폐광지역 주민의 생활만족도를 향상시키는 방안을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 본 연구의 대상자는 폐광지역에 거주하고 있는 30세 이상 주민 195명이며 2014년 4월 3일부터 20일까지 구조화된 설문조사를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 폐광지역 주민의 정신건강 정도는 일반정신건강 척도(KGHQ)를 사용하여 측정하였고, 생활만족도는 생활만족도 척도를 사용하여 알아보았다. 폐광지역 주민의 생활만족도는 중간보다 조금 높은 수준으로 미래생활만족도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 미시체계 요인군의 정신건강이 생활만족도가 영향을 주고 있었는데 하부 변수인 우울과 불안이 낮을수록 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중간체계 요인에서는 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인이 나타나지 않았다. 거시체계 요인에서는 폐광지역 개발지원에 관한 특별법 시행이 생활만족도에 영향을 주고 있었다. 따라서 폐광지역주민의 생활만족도를 향상시키기 위하여 거시체계요인의 경제 활성화 정책의 지속적인 시행과 미시체계요인의 건강한 정신을 유지하기 사회적 및 정서적 지지를 위한 실천적 전략의 모색이 필요한 것으로 보인다.
