Productive welfare is a form of welfare policy that helps welfare recipients move beyond being mere objects of support and develop into members who can actively contribute to society and the economy. This aims to improve individual self-reliance, including education, vocational training, and employment support services, ultimately reducing the economic burden on society as a whole and promoting economic growth. By examining whether productive welfare is possible in Korea, this study emphasizes the role and importance of productive welfare as a solution to social and economic problems. The Republic of Korea has experienced various social problems along with rapid economic growth. The entry into an aging society, increased youth unemployment, and widening social gaps have created complex and diverse social welfare needs. In this situation, productive welfare is attracting attention as a method that goes beyond simple financial support and provides a foundation for beneficiaries to become self-reliant. This study seeks to present a new horizon for social welfare policy by examining the possibility of implementing productive welfare in Korea and exploring ways to achieve it.

사무르디는 스리랑카의 빈곤퇴치를 위한 프로그램 중 가장 규모가 큰 사회복지 지원 사업으로 1995년 청년, 여성, 장애인 등의 취업기회의 제공과 역량을 제고하여 궁극적으로 국가의 빈곤을 퇴치하고자 중앙정부에 의해 마련되었다. 본 연구는 사무르디 프로그램 수혜자의 만족도를 높이기 위한 사회경제적 관련 인자들이 무엇인지를 밝히고자 하였다. 사례연구지역은 스리랑카 중부지역에 위치한 오지이며 빈곤도가 높아 본 프로그램의 수혜율이 비교적 높은 캔디(Kandy) 지역을 대상으로 하였다. 본 프로그램의 주목적인 소득향상을 비롯하여 훈련프로그램, 사무르디은행의 신용, 정부보조금, 보험금, 기술정보제공, 마케팅시설, 고용기회제공, 도로개발, 관개수로시설 및 공공기반시설 등 프로그램의 지원내용 등과 관련된 다양한 인자들을 대상으로 수혜자의 만족도는 물론 이에 영향을 미치는 사회경제적 인자의 특성 등을 밝히고자 하였다. 다단계 표본 추출방법으로 150 사무르디프로그램 수혜자를 선정하여 관련 설문조사를 실시하였으며(유효설문 127), SAS9.1 통계분석용 소프트웨어를 사용하여 빈도분석, 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 그 결과 사무르디 수혜자들은 정부보조 및 사무르디 은행의 신용 제공, 보험금 지급, 도로개발, 소득 증대 등에 대해서는 만족도가 매우 높은 반면 종자나 비료 등의 농업투입요소나 마케팅시설, 기술정보 제공 등에 대해서는 비교적 낮은 만족도를 보였다. 회귀분석 결과 사무르디 프로그램 실시 후 소득증대, 고용 기회와 훈련프로그램 제공, 사무르디 은행의 신용 제공 등이 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 사무르디 프로그램을 통하여 지역주민의 생활여건 개선은 물론 소득을 향상시켜 나아가 빈곤 퇴치라는 본래의 취지와 역할을 제대로 수행하기 위해서는 농업인 조직 강화, 농산물집하시설 등 마케팅 및 유통 시설 확충, 농기계 지원, 농업생산시설 등을 지속적으로 확충하여야 할 것이며, 정부의 지속적인 모니터링과 평가 등을 통하여 사무르디 프로그램을 보다 긍정적으로 발전시켜 나가야 할 것이다.

This study was made in order to evaluate the effectiveness on the activities of Community Welfare Association through the inter-agencies, carried out in 14 regions in our country as the examples. I'd like to emphasize the two main points in this study. One is whether the community practitioners have positive thoughts or not, about the evaluation on the activities through the inter-agencies. The other is how the receivers react to the inter-agency services. In order to find the solutions for two questions, the survey data of Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs were reanalyzed. First, the attitudes of the practitioners are as follows; that is, the directors of the organizations have negative opinions about the communication, while practitioners have positive evaluations. About the performance of its roles, 68.2 percent of practitioners showed positive reactions, and 77.8 percent answered it's necessary to manage the community association continuously. The receivers have positive evaluations in general about the inter-agency services. In the comparison of the community activities between before and after, domiciliary services were improved because there was a meaningful statistical difference, however, other services such as medical care service were not bettered.

As a result, the accessibility to social welfare centers, public transportation and job opportunities emerged main factors to for the Housing Voucher recipients in Seoul to choose their residential area. This is different results from previous research, which has two implications. First, reexamination of Housing Voucher is necessary. Second, Housing Voucher beneficiaries should include not only the housing but also support for family and welfare system access.

The purpose of this study is to understand the concept of publicness in social services. Recently, it has been argued that publicness be one of the key elements of social services even under the current social service marketization. Although publicness has been discussed in different ways in various academic areas, there is no consensus of what publicness really means, especially in social services. Therefore, reviewing discussions on publicness, this study intends to discover commonly shared aspects of publicness, and ultimately to suggest meanings of publicness in social services. This study also attempts to discuss whether different types of social service producers require different types of publicness under the context of welfare mix and social service marketization. The publicness in social services is related to various aspects: the scope of service recipients, trust toward social services, appropriate composition of services, social integration, role of government, and public accountability. Also it is suggested that the specific meaning and contents of publicness can be used in different ways for each social service producer, such as public, nonprofit, or profit sector. The study has academic and practical implications. This study provides the basis for further empirical studies on publicness academically and for implementation of publicness in the field of social services practically.

The central aim of this paper is to identify the distributional pattern of poverty and to investigate the spatial relationship between poverty and welfare service providers in Busan, Korea. It is intended to explain how the relationship of service-dependency between impoverished people and social welfare services leads to uneven social geography. Welfare services controlled by public or private agencies may support the impoverished people in different ways, generating social outcomes. By exploiting the spatial variations in the incidence of poverty and the provisions of social welfare services, this paper is to understand the dynamics of the geography of poverty from a local scale so that it can help us understand how various governmental and nongovernmental area-based service providers are spatially uneven when they are compared to the distribution of service dependency group such as impoverished people. From this research, it is finally argued that the implications of locational interdependence between such needed groups and social welfare services for their support demand a paradigm for urban social geography that centers on the changing welfare provision structure and the linkages between population and service-provision.

Due to the recent aging population, the need for development and use of welfare technology is increasing in society, but the debate on the evaluation of the personal, social and economic effects of newly developed welfare technology is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to analyze the concept of welfare technology and the theoretical contents of technology assessment, and to discuss the development of indicators applicable to welfare technology assessment for older adults. For this purpose, the characteristics of welfare technologists, who are distinguished from the general technology, were examined and tried to establish the concept of welfare technology and to examine theoretically. In addition, welfare technology Assessment indicators reflect the characteristics of older adults and are presented in six areas, including personal, economic, social, technological, environmental and ethical aspects. For the case study, two welfare technology products for older adults were selected and applied to the welfare technology evaluation indicators. This study suggests that older adults and their caregivers need to be participating as an important stakeholder to increase the effectiveness of the welfare technology assessment.

This research is based on the survey of welfare beneficiaries, aiming to set up the gender-equal welfare policies. Through the survey, this research examines status of women in the family and society and also examines, the degree of perception of women's welfare policies, needs, and satisfaction. According to the survey results, the current welfare policies that are limited to needy women should expand its range, enforcing the infra structure. That employment policy for women turned out to be very important in welfare policies. Demand for more enlarged welfare policies is quite high, especially in housing, employment and elderly care. On the contrary, the degree of satisfaction degree appears quite low because of unrealistic welfare program and benefits. In order to improve the welfare policies, more active and realistic employment policies should be emphasized with the proper support for family life. To raise the status of women, proper policies for women's economic independence should be set up. In addition, consciousness of gender equality should be encouraged in the whole society. Also, women's participation in politics and decision-making process is necessary.
