이 글은 영국 홈리스에 대한 기존의 연구들을 검토하면서 홈리스의 세 가지 측면을 고찰한다. 첫째, 홈리스의 현황을 파악하기 위하여, 홈리스에 대한 서로 다른 정의와 홈리스 규모에 대한 여러 추정치를 비교 검토한다. 이 글은 또한 거리노숙자 규모를 측정하는 방법을 둘어싼 논쟁을 정리한다. 둘째, 홈리스의 원인을 분석한다. 홈리스의 원인을 규명하는데 다섯 가지 접근이 있다. 이 글은 이런 다섯 가지 접근들의 등장 배경, 내용, 그들 사이의 논쟁을 정리한다. 셋째, 영국 홈리스 정책을 고찰한다. 영국 홈리스 정책의 가장 중요한 특징은 홈리스에게 임시주택 혹은 안정적인 주택을 제공하는 것이다. 이 글은 1960년대 이후 영국 홈리스 정책의 변화 과정을 정리한다. 1997년 집권한 노동당 정부는 거리노숙자 정책을 정부의 최우선 정책과제들 가운데 하나로 설정하면서 거리노숙 문제의 해결에 적극적으로 개업했다. 그 결과 2000년 이후 거리노숙자가 대폭 줄어들었다. 현재 시행되고 있는 거리노숙자 정책은 주거지원 뿐만 아니라 다양한 차원의 지원을 포함한다. 홈리스 예방도 중요한 정책으로 다루어지고, 정보와 인간단체가 협력해서 거리노숙 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 거리노숙자를 줄이는데 성공한 영국의 거리노숙자 정책은 우리에게 많은 시사점을 줄 것이다.

This study is to explore how the bondage of street homeless is made and what it implies. In order to do so, this study does participation-observation for the life of the homeless on the street and drop-in-center according to the ethno-graphic research tradition. Starting from the August of 2005, during the period of six months, we did a field study on the actual conditions of facilities for the homeless in the major parts in Seoul and collected the interview data through the interview-in-depth with 8 homeless people. Following the data-analysis procedures of Spradley(1979), we identified the main domains related to the factors for the bonding of street homeless. These domains show us how the homeless people who were left in the whole new world of homelessness just manage to tide over the crisis of identity and survival. The bondage of street homeless in the situation of street homelessness has been shown to have these following meanings: (1) the cultural significance as their second home, (2) the meaning of an alternative group to be admitted, (3) the maintenance of self-identity by way of distinction in the group. According to these, the self-identity of homeless is dual and, therefore, the meaning and interpretation of their relationship is also dual. This dualistic attitude comes from the process in which the homeless acquire the alliance-resource for the very survival and self-existence. The results of this study confirm that the homeless suffer from the lack of true relationship as well as resources. This study suggests that the supporting policies and services for the street homeless should be achieved qualitatively and integrated under a long range plan.

This study was done to identify experience of young adults street homeless aged 20-30s by knowing meaning and structure of empirical phenomena for procedure that how young adults became street homeless according to bio-psycho-social change. Five young adults street homeless were recruited who were on the air of SBS program, 'That why we want to know: young hope on the road-Young adults homeless are increased(Saturday July 26, 2008)', and from monthly magazine published by Homeless Center in Seoul. And phenomenological and heuristic Human Becoming Research Methodology of Parse was applied in this study. Although young adults street homeless made an opportunity for job, the working poor made him street homeless who suffer from social stigma and exclusion, but he struggled for self-support with social care. The quality of life for young adult street homeless depends on the social care under human rights with the bio-psycho-social aspects.

어두운 밤길을 걸어가고 있을 때 누군가 손을 내밀어준다면 이보다 더 고마운 길잡이가 또 있을까! 한때는 든든한 가장으로, 건강한 사회구성원으로 열심히 일했을 우리 아버지들. 하지만 각박한 세상살이에 실직, 알코올 중독 등으로 하루아침에 거리로 내몰려 노숙인 신세로 불편한 삶을 이어가고 있다. 이들은 질병에도 쉽게 노출되고 있다. 이런 그들을 위해 따뜻한 손길을 건네는 곳이 있다. 노숙인의 결핵완치를 돕기 위한 "미소꿈터"가 바로 그곳이다.

This study is phenomenological qualitative research about lived experience of recovering alcoholic homeless who had completed Therapeutic Community program. The meaning which is revealed through this study is as in the followed. First, Moving to recovering space. In Therapeutic Community, they have a turning point for new life and new connection with people who watch him carefully. Second, Physical recovery. They are no more lying down on the street. Analogy of Standing can be viewed as being most active in recovery. Third, Positioning on time flow. The recovering of time is represented by accepting past and present as well as looking ahead into the future. Fourth, Settling into network of a relation. They tried to reconnect with society by network of a relation. Their social place is located in a network, not a position. From this present study, the social work implications for the alcoholic homeless are deducted.

Homeless people have remained one of the most disadvantaged groups in Korea. Therefore this study aims at examining how the homeless evaluate their quality of life and which factors influence their quality of life. The subjects of this study were 185 homeless adults residing on the street, in the shelter, and in substandard housing in Daejeon Metropolitan City. With a view to collecting the data effectively, different approaches have been taken for each type of homelessness in this study. By using the Korean Version of WHOQOL-BREF(brief version of WHO quality of life measure), this study has examined the current circumstance of the homeless and identified the predictors of their quality of life. The results of this study reconfirm low quality of life of homeless people. Also the results of this study indicate that the important factors influencing their quality of life are age, receipt of public assistance, perceived health status, alcohol use, alcohol addiction, housing type, and recognition by others. Predictors of each domain of quality of life differ to some extent. Statistically significant predictors of physical health are receipt of public assistance, perceived health status, and housing type. Psychological health is significantly influenced by age, receipt of public assistance, perceived health status, housing type, and recognition by others. Significant predictors of social relations are alcohol use, housing type, and recognition by others. Environment is significantly influenced by perceived health status, housing type, and recognition by others. On the basis of the findings of this empirical analysis, some measures conducive to the improvement of quality of life of homeless people are suggested. Only a few studies have been conducted to delve into the quality of life of the displaced group in Korea. In such a context, the significance of this study lies in identifying the circumstances of the homeless as a basic work for upgrading their quality of life on the one hand, and in empirically testing the major predictors of each domain of their quality of life on the other.

This experiment was carried out to develope a technique for labelling pine gall midge with ·radioactive phosphorus and calcium. This technique evolved would help to obtain basic information on the appropriate concentration of $^{32}P\; and\; ^{45}Ca$ in tagging and determination of adult flight ranges which considered as one of the factors in dissemination. 1. Labelling at the larval stage of pine gall midge by injection of $^{45}Ca$ into pine tree trunk appeared not to be effective for tagging the adults because radioactivity was gradually decreased to background by emergence. 2. The radioactivities of larvae in the galls gradually increased in September but from October 1 the activity was gradually decreased for 10 days then equilibrium was maintained thereafter. The results seem to indicate that larval diet termination occured early October. 3. A maximum level of radiation was detected at 3 weeks after $^{32}P$ injection and thereafter it was gradually reduced. This result implies that $^{32}P$ is not appropriate radioisotope in labelling pine gall midge through trunk injection method. 4. After washing in running water for 10 minutes, the optimum$^{32}P$ concentration for treated overwintered larvae and pupae was found to be 0.5 micro curie per ml. for 30 minutes dipping.
