This study is about the effectiveness and activation strategies of vacational training programme for the disabled guided by the Ministry of Labour and the Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled(KEPAD). This research employed quantitative approach. The quantitative research used the samples of 853 disabled people who had finished vocational training programme during recent 3 years. In this research the effectiveness is categorized into two ; product effectiveness and employment effectiveness. Product effectiveness is influenced by the kind of train-center, train-area, train-length. The KEPAD, non-IT job area and train-period over 6 month are more effective. Employment effectiveness is significantly influenced by demo-sociological factor rather than disability factor. Especially the kind of train-center is very important to be employed for the disabled. This implicates that choice of train-center by the disabled and effective management of it by the public sector is very important in developing employment. Effective management, stated above, includes reengineering programmes and functions accountable to the need form the trainee, bridging the gap among train-centers in terms of performance, differentiation of financial support according to the product to save the public fund, encouraging one special programme in one train-center.

Korean farm villages are locked in vicious circle, as lots of their problems related to low income and hollow matters are geared and multiply. To get over those problems, various plans to develop Korean farm villages are being pushed ahead. In addition, since the early of 1990s, Korea has been projects to develop settlement zones and culture villages. It has been also preceeding with a comprehensive development project of farm villages and a new vitalizations project, etc. All of these projects aim to reorganize and expand life environments, industrial bases, and convenience and welfare facilities. The existing studies on a comprehensive project to develop farm villages have been focusing on evaluation indexes, problems, investment priorities, etc. But in fact, studies on a comprehensive development project of farm villages are not thoroughgoing enough in aspects of residents' attitude and their recognition on the influence on tourist development. Thus, this study aims to present strategic schemes to allow residents to actively participate in a stage of promoting a comprehensive development project of farm villages, a stage of making the plan, and a stage of the implementation. For this, this study analyzes a comprehensive development project of farm villages and attempts to figure out which influence the tourist development in farm villages has on residents' attitude and recognition resulting from changes in economic, social cultural, and environmental aspects. Especially, this study previously examines what influential factors there exists are and what influences the development of farm villages has on residents. Based on the results from the above analysis, schemes to enable residents to actively a comprehensive development project of farm villages are presented as follows. First, it is necessary to raise our recognition on tourism and tourism development of farm villages. If the main theme of a comprehensive development project of farm villages intends farm village development, it is required to educate residents and let them clearly raise their recognition on tourism, and the effect of the project is guaranteed. Second, it is highly required to make a plan so that we can feel economic effects of revenues through project promotion and positive effects including the expansion of infrastructures and welfare facilities, etc. Third, it is necessary to bring into relief the positive recognition and attitude of a comprehensive development project of farm villages. As for the negative recognition and attitude, it is very important to change negative residents' recognition to the positive direction and to allow them to participate in and to take an interest in the project, so that the project can be effectively promoted.

In this study, the hygiene control status of meals for the elderly was investigated for the elderly care facilities, communal living families, and day care centers, which are members of the Cheongju Social Welfare Food Management Support Center, and the improvement of food hygiene management was compared and analyzed to find out the effectiveness of the pilot project after conducting management support such as hygiene education for the elderly and providing related supplies and information. The study found that after the first support, the average score of overall feeding hygiene control increased significantly from 63.13 points (out of 100) to 75.10 points (p<0.001) and from 75.10 points (out of 100) to 80.89 points (p<0.001). After primary support, 16 out of 29 items showed significant differences in average scores in the checklist, and 7 out of 29 after secondary visit support (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Based on the effectiveness of the above-mentioned pilot project to support senior citizens' meal service management, more welfare facilities for senior citizens should be continuously supported by the Foodservice Management Support Center.

This study was conducted to understand the effects of participation perception, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and empowerment on self-support intention of self-support work project participants. For this study, a survey was conducted on participants in the self-support work project within the G-gu area. As a result of the study, it was found that the participation perception, self-efficacy, and empowerment of participants in the self-support project had a positive (+) effect on the self-support will. Also, in the process where participants' perceptions of participation, self-efficacy, and self-esteem affect the will to self-support, it was found that empowerment partially mediated participation perception and self-efficacy and fully mediated self-esteem. Based on these results, the following are practical suggestions for improving self-support project participants' will to self-support as follows. First, systematic training courses are needed in the application and selection of recipients, establishment of self-support plans, and gateway training courses so that participants in self-support projects can correctly recognize self-support projects. Second, it is necessary to systematize the case management system provided by the self-help center and re-establish the role in order to strengthen the participants' hope for self-reliance. Third, it is necessary to identify the strengths of the participants in the self-support project, create results for self-support, and operate a program that strengthens the latent motivation to solve their own problems and change their behavior. Fourth, the empowerment of participants and professional ability of practitioners should be strengthened so that participants can solve the alienation and social exclusion experienced in the process of participating in the project.

The purpose of this research was to examine the experiences of three types of family-friendly workplace professionals (professionals here after) including consultants, certification auditors, and professional instructors, and to provide suggestions for the improvement of training programs aimed at such professionals. Ten professionals participated in focus group interviews. Two themes were identified: the competencies of the professionals and ways to improve the training system and the curriculums of training programs. Competencies are dependent on job type. Therefore, different training programs should be provided to the three types of professionals. To make training programs more comprehensive, most participants agreed that training program curriculums for the three types of professionals should link together. Participants also suggested increasing training time and differentiating training programs between new and experienced specialists. In terms of improving the training system, professional networking and the creation of a database for family-friendly programs were discussed. The findings suggest that training programs need to be restructured in line with the competencies required by the professionals and professionals' needs.

The study conducted research investigating their about knowledge and attitude of toward elderly aimed at 251 students in the Department of Dental Hygiene located in some areas of Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam. The total average score concerning knowledge about the elderly was found to be 11.78 out of a full score of 25 points, and the level of physical and physiological knowledge was the highest. As regards the total average of the attitude toward the elderly, it posted at 98.58 points out of a full score of 150 points and the attitude regarding the aspect of welfare was the most positive. About toward elderly correlation of knowledge and attitude between higher knowledge score more positive was attitude about toward elderly. From the above results, it would be necessary to reinforce not only the physical and physiological aspect of the elderly but also the education in the family and social areas during the development of educational contents for the Department of Dental Hygiene in relation to the elderly. Furthermore, it is deemed imperative to improve the relationship between the younger generations and the elder generation by having students practice in institutions related to the elderly, such as institutions for senior nursing and senior welfare centers and to develop a generational community program that will provoke positive interactions between them.

Child abuse and neglect are recently increasing in Korea, and although the government has actively improved the child protection system, the number of abused children and the rate of cases judged as abuse have continuously risen. Given that 75% of child abusers are parents, child abuse and neglect are expected to recur. To prevent such a recurrence, various intervention programs for abused children and their parents are required. The purpose of this study were to design a recovery support service process and investigate the effectiveness of pilot program for families of origin, including neglected(protected) children, to improve the system by which these programs are operated, and formulate policy alternatives that reinforce "family preservation" principles. The pilot program was implemented from June to November 2020 in 4-local healthy family support center. The number of program participants and the frequency of participation in each other differed, because of the difference in number of confirmed coronavirus cases in each region and the requirement for social distancing. Through the program, a community-based service process was developed for neglected(protected) children and their parents, and cooperative networks between related facilities and institutions were established. The study formulated the following recommendations: First, a cooperation system among government departments mandated to provide different services to neglected(protected) children is needed. Second, wider and various channels through which abused children can avail of protective services should be developed within communities. Third, more stable environments for program operation should be cultivated, and cooperative partnerships should be sought for knowledge sharing among relevant government departments. Another necessary measure is for a center to develop its own business model, in which the duplication of services provided by involved organizations is avoided. Finally, clear guidelines, administrative standards, and specific plans for program operation should be arranged. Also regional characteristics are maintained, but services should be standardized.

전염병 정보화사업은 1995년 콜레라의 집단 발병을 계기로 1996년부터 추진되었다. 교통의 발달과 국제교류의 증가는 전염병의 전파와 확산속도가 빨라져 국민건강을 위협하고 있으며 기존의 수작업만으로 정보수집 및 효율적인 전염병관리가 어려워 체계적이고 효율적인 전염병관리를 위하여 국가적 D/B 구축, 전염병관리의 의사결정지원자료 축적의 필요성 제기되었으나 독자적인 망 구축에는 막대한 예산이 들고 망의 운영과 유지관리를 위한 예산과 조직의 한계가 있는 상황에서 콜레라 발생을 계기로 보건복지부 방역과, 국립보건원, 국립서울 검역소, 경기도 6개 보건소 및 경기 및 인천 보건환경연구원을 실험적으로 연계하여 전염병 관리에 필요한 정보의 내용과 흐름, 자료 관리를 위한 기관별, 자치단체별 역할과 기능 등에 관한 개념 정립 둥 전산개발과 함께 제도정비 방안 등이 동시에 수행되었다. 이러한 실험과 연구 결과를 토대로 1998년부터 인터넷을 활용한 전염병의 신고 보고, 전염병관련 자료의 D/B를 통한 전염병의 발생 예측, GIS 등 전염병에 관한 모든 정보를 제공할 수 있는 portal site 구축을 위한 2단계 정보화사업이 정보통신부 지원 하에 시도되었다. 약 2년간의 작업 결과 전염병관리의 전산화 가능성이 확인된 후 전염병예방법을 개정하여 전산 보고의 제도적 틀을 만들고 2000년 8월부터 법정전염병은 전산 보고가 이루어 지고 있다. 일방적이 보고이외 전염병관리의 쌍방화를 위하여 각종 지령/정보의 전파, 각종 통계, 지침, 교육자료, 전염병관련 논문 등을 제공하고 있으며, 상담, 민원접수는 전염병 관련 정보의 전문화와 함께 국민과 호흡할 수 있는 시스템으로 운영될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 그러나 현재 사용하고 있는 WEB EDI가 가진 속도 문제, 응용프로그램의 문제로 신고 보고를 C/S 버전으로 전환하여 사용자의 편리성을 증진하고 있다. 또한 예방접종자료의 전산화를 통한 이상반응 관리, 접종주기 관리, 예방접종으로 관리할 수. 있는 전염병관리(Vaccine preventable disease), 학교에서 발생하는 전염병의 감시 등 전염병 포탈 사이트에 걸맞게 정보 내용을 한층 확대하고 있고 일선의료기관도 활용할 수 있는 시스템으로 발전시키고 있다. 이를 위하여 정보관리과도 신설하였다. 그러나 전염병관리의 전산화는 궁극적으로 전염병 자료의 지역화와 그를 통한 전염병관리의 분권화 및 지방자치화를 이루고자 하는 것이다. 기술적인 측면에서 전산망은 쉽게 만들 수 있으나 전염병관리의 개선과 그 정착은 1-2년간의 전산프로그램개발 작업만으로 달성되기는 어려우며 범국가적인 노력과 더불어 일선보건요원의 교육과 훈련 및 보건소장 등 보건관리자의 전산마인드 개발 등의 작업도 매우 중요할 것으로 사료된다.
