본 투고에서는 2008년 환경부의 용역으로 실시된 "보육시설의 실내공기질 진단 및 개선 시범사업"의 결과를 바탕으로 우리나라 보육시설의 실내공기 오염 실태와 함께 개선방안, 그리고 개선효과에 대하여 소개하였다. 서울, 경기, 인천 지역의 61개 시설을 대상으로 실내공기질 측정과 설문조사를 실시한 결과 폼알데하이드와 총 휘발성유기화합물은 일부시설에서 "다중이용시설 등의 실내공기질 관리법" 기준치를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 이산화탄소와 미세먼지는 조사 대상 시설 중 50 % 이상이 기준치를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 보육시설의 실내공기질 개선을 위해서는 각 오염물질의 발생원별로 유지관리 대책이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 오염원인별 분석결과, 대부분 시설의 실외오염물질 농도가 실내보다 낮게 나타나 외기의 오염이 실내에 미치는 영향은 미비한 것으로 나타났으며, 계절에 따른 실내공기오염은 동절기에 낮은 외기온도로 인하여 실내를 하기 때문에 하절기에 비해 더 높게 나타났다. 공간에 따른 오염물질의 농도는 이산화탄소와 미세먼지의 경우 아동이 늘 상주하는 교실의 오염이 가장 심한 것으로 나타났으며 폼알데하이드와 총휘발성유기화합물의 경우 놀이실의 오염도가 교실에 비해 더 높게 나타났다. 개선방안별 개선효과에 있어서는 환기계획 몇 환기설비 설치, 지하공간 습기 문제 개선에서 가장 높은 효과가 나타났다. 향후 보육시설의 쾌적하고 건겅한 실내환경의 유지관리를 위해서는 보육종사자들이 활용할 수 있는 유지관리 지침 또는 매누얼에 대한 보급이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently according to increasement of the single family and dual-earner couples, the number of infants and young children stays on a long time to the childcare facilities. this is increasing the importance to improve the physical environment. However, the operating and maintenance costs of the national-public childcare facilities have taken effect of the unfair support issues of municipality's financial situation. Especially, because of the lack of the operating and maintenance costs of the facility and the shortage of facilities equipment maintenance repair costs, nursery operations and Maintenance items are needed to distribute appropriately. Therefore, this study is to estimate the importance to facility operations and maintenance items based on "Kindergarten and Childcare Facilities"presented at the Child Care Policy Study. we are expected to allocate appropriately of operation and maintenance cost of a limited budget. In particular, those can be considered for operation and maintenance cost about the National-Public Childcare Facilities and be determined to a safe and pleasant environment to kindergartens through the appropriate operations and maintenance support.

The purpose of the study is to suggest ways to reduce the difference in occupancy rate and cost of incubation centers and surveyed 262 business disclosures of KBIA. the region, the subject of management, and the technology field are set as independent variables among the management disclosure items, and the occupancy rate, cost, and assigned grade are defined as dependent variables. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that about 19.4%($R^2=0.194$) and about 7.0%($R^2=0.059$) explain the cost of the operation, Respectively. finally Costs are high in metropolitan areas, public organizations and technology-intensive centers are inexpensive, occupancy rates are high in government and universities, and low in large cities. In order to resolve the gap, $5,720won/m^2$ is appropriate, and the center operates as a technology-intensive specialization center.

In present study, using longitudinal data of 161 families from Durham Child and Development Study, we examine the characteristics of infant child care chosen by families of different income levels and ethnicity in the U.S. Time-related changes in child care selection for the first year of the child's life were also investigated. Infants from high-income families were more likely to be cared for by someone other than the mother, compared to infant from lower-income families. African-American families were more likely to use non-maternal care for their infant compared to European-American families. Although the effects of income on type of care were not significant, descriptively, more low-income families used relative care while high-income families used more formal arrangements such as daycare center. Infants from low-income families began care earlier and low-income families paid less for care than other families. The findings call for attention to the importance of child care policy for low-income families as well as further research examining the function of cultural differences in selection of infant child care.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among child care teachers' role performance and burnout, and supervisors' support. The subjects in this study were 171 child care teachers working in Gyeonggi province. Role performance questionnaire, the perceived supervisor's support scale, and the perceived burnout scale were used for this study. For the research analysis, frequency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient, and Pearson's correlation were calculated and regression analysis were conducted. The results are as follows. Firstly, it was revealed that both child care teachers' role performance and the perceived supervisors' support had statistically negative significant correlations with child care teachers' burnout. Secondly, role performance had statistically meaningful negative influences on child care teachers' overall burnout. Training and teaching activities as a sub-variable of child care teachers' role performance had statistically meaningful negative influences on emotional exhaustion, a lack of feeling of personal accomplishment, and overall job burnout. Thirdly, supervisors' support also had statistically meaningful negative influences on burnout. Material support as the sub-variable had statistically meaningful negative influences on emotional exhaustion, dehumanization, a lack of feeling of personal accomplishment, and overall job burnout. Evaluative support had statistically meaningful and negative influences on dehumanization and a lack of feeling of personal accomplishment. Through the results of this study, it must be indicated that it needs to promote the support of the supervisor in the various aspects and to provide a way which child care teachers efficiently perform the role in order to reduce their burnout.

This study has been carried out to suggest an improvement measure by analysing the current situation of the working condition for the teachers in child care. For this, governmental policy and law and relevant references in relation to the working conditions for the teachers have been collected for analysis. On the basis of the research, in order to improve the working condition for the teachers the following suggestions have been made: provision of salary system considered the level of qualification criteria and academic certificate, carrying out a raise in pay according to the salary class, requirement of written indication of a provision of allowance, increase of the initial salary for the principal of nurseries, observance of legislation for payment of excess duty allowance, elucidation of legislation for the salary of the teacher in unsupported nurseries and settlement of ratio of supporting personnel expenses from government.

This paper investigates how the provision of full child care subsidy to infants and toddlers differently affected female labor supply and fertility rate depending on the level of supply of child care centers in the place of residence. Our results on labor supply show that the higher the supply rate of childcare centers in residential areas, the higher the probability of career maintenance for multi-child mothers who are more likely to be admitted to a childcare facility. The results on the fertility rate show that the first child's fertility rate has increased since the support of childcare expenses in areas with higher rates of childcare centers. In the places where the supply rate of publicly-funded childcare centers is high, the second child's fertility rate has also increased significantly since the support of childcare expenses. This suggests that the quality of child care is an essential factor in determining the birth rate. Our results suggest that the effects of child care support on women's labor supply and fertility rate may differ depending on the priority of entering child care centers according to birth order and the degree of quantitative and qualitative supply of child care centers in the place of residence.
