  • This study attempts to analyse the effects of high-rise living on suicide rates. All the apartments in the City A and every suicide were examined in detail. Research methods are as follows. First, a database including tenure type and number of residents in all apartment complexes was created. Second, apartments were categorized into two income groups of private apartments and social housing, and spatial configuration characteristics of a typical apartment were analysed. Third, differences in suicide rates were analysed for lower and upper levels in both apartment categories. Finally, the relationship between high and lower levels of apartments with their spatial configuration characteristics and suicide rates was compared. The analysis shows significant differences between lower and upper floors living residents' suicide rates. It can be stated that the low-income residents are more sensitive to living in high-rise environment. Also, it suggests the need to improve the high-rise living environment of vulnerable social groups. In addition, spatial integration decrease in upper floors of high-rise buildings, and it can be interpreted that spatial configuration may affect residents' pathological disorders or even suicidal behaviors.

  • In the post-war period, the mass provision of social rental housing units represented the primary means for resolving housing welfare issues across much of Western Europe. In contrast to North America, large swathes of state subsidized rental housing where built and let-out at submarket rents, both to needy as well as regular working households. By the 1980s social housing accounted for as many as four in ten homes in some contexts. Since then however, these important welfare sectors have been under attack. On the one hand, privatization policies have continued to undermine the basis of social renting with home ownership and private rental sectors advanced by policy as preferable alternatives. On the other hand, social housing providers have been restructured in order to play a more residual role in the housing market and serve more targeted groups of socially vulnerable people. This paper assesses key differences in the development of West European social housing sectors as well as recent transformations in their status that represent a challenge their sustainability. It also looks to what insights this provides for the South Korean housing context where public housing has proliferated and been increasingly diversified in recent years.

  • Background: Several studies have investigated the relationship between specific occupations and suicide mortality, as suicide rates differ by profession. The aim of this study was to investigate suicide mortality ratios across broad occupational groups in Greece for both sexes in the period 2000-2009. Methods: Data of suicide deaths were retrieved from the Hellenic Statistical Authority and comparative mortality ratios were calculated. Occupational classification was based on the International Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88) and the coding for Intentional self-harm (X60-X84) was based on the international classification of diseases (ICD-10). Results: Male dominant occupations, mainly armed forces, skilled farmers and elementary workers, and female high-skilled occupations were seen as high risk groups for suicide in a period of 10 years. The age-productive group of 30-39 years in Greek male elementary workers and the 50-59 age-productive group of Greek professional women proved to have the most elevated number of suicide deaths. Conclusion: Further research is needed into the work-related stressors of occupations with high suicide mortality risk and focused suicide prevention strategies should be applied within vulnerable working age populations.

  • Objectives : This study presents a scientific basis for the establishment of an environmental health contingency plan for dealing with accidental coastal oil spills and suggests some strategies for use in an environmental health emergency. Methods : We reviewed the existing literature, and analyzed the various fundamental factors involved in response strategies for oil spill. Our analysis included data derived from Hebei Spirit oil spill and used air dispersion modeling. Results : Spill amounts of more than 1,000 kl can affect the health of residents along the coast, especially those who belong to vulnerable groups. Almost 30% of South Korean population lives in the vicinity of the coast. The area that is at the highest risk for a spill and that has the greatest number of people at risk is the stretch of coastline from Busan to Tongyeong. The most prevalent types of oil spilt in Korean waters have been crude oil and bunker-C oil, both of which have relatively high specific gravity and contain volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. In the case of a spill of more than 1,000 kl, it may be necessary to evacuate vulnerable and sensitive groups. Conclusions : The government should establish environmental health planning that considers the spill amount, the types of oil, and the distance between the spot of the accident and the coast, and should assemble a response team that includes environmental health specialists to prepare for the future oil spill.

  • There are little program and services that have been developed to address the health and health care needs of vulnerable women. The access for their timely and appropriate health care and health promotion services have been a increasing concern. The purpose of this study was to suggest health promotion program for vulnerable women with collaboration of women's NGOs. At the first part of this study, we reviewed a conceptual framework for identifying vulnerable population, and issues regarding health problems, unmet needs, policies and programs that have been developed to address their need. In second part, we focused on investigating the role, subjects and activities of women's NGOs and their capacity for health promotion program. The last part of this study proposed health promotion programme with integrating above two parts of study. In describing what type of health promotion program available in women's NCOs, eight major programs and services were summarized. 1. Direct health promotion program and collaborating program with other services. 2. Education and training for empowerment of vulnerable women 3. Organizing mutual support system such as self-help group 4. Community supports. Vulnerable women living at home may benefit from linkage to community services as much as women living in facility 5. Organizing collaboration system with program for economic support and job training, social rehabilitation 6. Trainer's training for practitioners in NGOs 7. Technical, informational support from professional groups 8. A national coordinating policies for vulnerable population should be established at the central level. National support for NGOs' health promotion program are needed hi solving unmet needs of vulnerable women.

  • Our main concerns in this paper are with the several kinds of social economy organization in rural South Korea, in where social exclusion is likely to be prevalent over time. Approximately, there are 2,500~3,000 social economy organizations which have been set up from 1990s. Most of their operational social aims are either to offer jobs or to provide social services for the vulnerable social groups in rural communities. They have several normative principles as a social economy organization. But the two principles were less supported than the others; 1) the community's initiative and participation, and 2) sharing surplus with community. The social economy organizations are involved in various types of business. The greatest number of social economy organizations are doing businesses in agriculture and agro-industry. On average, their value of asset is worth of 300 million wons. They are indebted for 130 million wons, averagely. Their average surplus is 110 million wons. Most of them are small businesses. It is enough to say that the social economy is at an early stage in rural South Korea. The social economy is confronted with some challenges, as follows. Firstly, the social economy organizers should be based on the needs of community in both setting up a new social economy organization and managing businesses. Secondly, networking and cooperation between social economy organizations should be expanded and strengthened. Thirdly, the sound governance with public sector should be built.

  • The purpose of this study is to contribute to the provision of basic data for psychological quarantine policy and counseling by examining the public perception of the "corona blue" phenomenon through analysis of social media big data. To do this, key words related to the word 'Corona Blue' were derived and analyzed using the big data analysis program 'Textom'. As a result of the analysis, words such as 'Corona 19', 'depression', 'problem' and 'overcome' were derived as key words. For the analysis results,"pride and awarenes as the public perception of Corona 19", "depression and anxiety as a group trauma as the corona blue phenomenon", "spreading a psychological quarantine culture and demanding social healing as the perception of overcoming corona Blue," and "hope for return to daily life and changes in daily life as the perception of post corona" were discussed. In conclusion, we have identified the need for active psychological support from the community By revealing that Corona Blue is a depression as a group trauma. At this time, it is confirmed that it is necessary to prioritize social healing and psychological quarantine for the main risk groups such as youth or the vulnerable, who are the socially weak.

  • 우리나라에서 사회적기업은 양적 성장에도 불구하고 대체적으로 영세한 규모, 경영 역량과 기술 부족의 문제, 취약한 자원 확보 능력의 문제를 갖고 있으며, 이에 따라 사회적기업의 지속가능성에 대한 우려가 제기되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 환경 속에서도 영리기업과 차별화되는 사회적기업만의 특성은 사회적 미션을 갖고 있다는 점이다. 또한 사회적기업은 취약계층 근로자와 일반근로자가 함께 공존하는 특성을 지니며, 취약계층의 자립을 돕는 역할을 한다. 이러한 특성에 따라 사회적기업에서 조직구성원의 성공적인 조직사회화는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 사회적기업의 사회적 미션이 비전공유를 통해서 사회적기업만의 경쟁력으로 활용될 수 있으며, 조직구성원의 조직사회화에도 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 보고 비전공유와 조직사회화 간의 관계를 연구하고자 하였으며, 비전공유와 조직사회화 간의 관계에서 조직건강의 매개효과를 밝히고자 하였다. 156명의 부산, 대구 소재 사회적기업 종사자들을 대상으로 실시한 조사 결과, 비전공유는 조직건강 및 조직사회화에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 비전공유와 조직사회화간의 관계에서 조직건강의 하위요소 중 활기와 공동체지향이 매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 조직의 비전이 공유될수록 자신이 속한 조직이 건강하다고 인식하며, 이를 통해 성공적인 조직사회화를 이룰 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 취약계층을 포함한 사회적기업 조직구성원의 성공적인 조직사회화를 위한 방안을 제시할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계를 제시하였다.

  • 1997년 외환위기 이후 대규모 실업 및 빈곤 문제가 심각해지면서, 공공근로 사회적 일자리 창출사업 등을 진행했으나, 저임금, 단기 일자리라는 한계점을 가지고 있어 지속적인 양질의 일자리 창출에 대한 필요성이 점차 제기되면서 사회적기업이 점차 주목받기 시작했다. 최근 사회적기업에 대한 관심이 증가하고 양적 질적으로 성장하면서 사회적기업의 성공과 실패를 결정하는 요인에 대한 관심도 커지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사회적기업 특성이 재무적 성과와 사회적 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 분석을 수행하였으며, 한국사회적기업진흥원에 자발적으로 경영공시를 수행한 사회적기업을 중심으로 분석하였다. 사회적기업의 재무적 성과는 당기순이익률, 영업이익률, 총자산이익률을 사용하였으며, 사회적 성과는 총고용 수, 취약계층고용비율을 사용하였다. 사회적기업 특성 요인으로는 대표자 특성(성별, 나이, 사회적기업 운영 경험), 기업규모, 업력, 차입금의존도, 자기자본비율, 인증 경과기간 등을 설정하였다. 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 사회적기업 특성과 재무적 성과와의 분석에서 기업규모, 조직형태, 정부지원금, 자기자본비율은 재무적 성과와 통계적으로 유의한 양의 관련성을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, CEO 나이, 기업업력, 차입금의존도는 통계적으로 유의한 음의 관련성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적기업 특성과 사회적 성과와의 분석에서는 CEO 성별, CEO 연령, 기업규모 정부지원금은 총근로자수와 유의한 양의 관계를 보인 반면 인증유형, 업종더미는 유의한 음의 관계를 보였다. 한편 CEO 성별과 인증유형은 취약계층취업률과 유의한 양의 관련성을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 정부지원금, 기업규모 등은 취약계층취업률과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.
