본 연구는 국내 외국인 가정부 고용에 대한 연구로 국내 가정부 고용의 역사와 추이를 살펴 본 후, 외국인 가정부의 고용현황 및 실태를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 가정학계 쪽의 문헌 및 신문자료의 검토를 통해 조선시대 이후, 특히 1960년대 이후 내국인 가정부의 고용추이와 특성을 파악하였고, 지역별 사회복지관과 YWCA 담당자 전화조사를 통해 현재 국내 가정부 노동시장의 수요와 공급 정도를 살펴 본 후, 법무부 출입국관리국의 통계자료와 2002년 불법체류 자진신고자료 및 2001년 말부터 2004년 초까지 인터넷 웹사이트를 통한 외국인 가정부 구인구직 광고내용을 분석하여, 국내 외국인 가정부 고용의 현황과 특성을 파악하였다. 이 연구의 주요 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그간 국내에서 외국인 가정부가 활성화되지 못한 가장 중요한 이유는 다른 아시아 신흥공업국에 비해 국내 기혼여성 특히 중류층 이상의 고학력 기혼여성의 취업이 저조하였기 때문이다. 동시에, 하류층 기혼여성의 취업기회도 제한적이므로, 현재까지는 내국인 시간제 파출부 시장에서 수요보다는 공급이 더 많기 때문이다. 둘째, 필리핀인 여성 대신에 중국동포가 국내의 외국인 가정부 시장을 독점한 이유는 중국동포는 한국어는 물론 우리의 풍습을 많이 유지하고 있어서 이들을 고용하는 것이 더 편하기 때문이다. 그러나 그동안 주로 40대 이상의 중${\cdot}$고령층의 중국동포 여성이 국내로 유입되었다는 점도 이들을 '탈여성화'된 그리고 '모성적'인 입주가정부로 활용하게 된 중요한 이유이다.

This study examines degree of fairness migrant workers in Korea feel with their wages in comparison to those of their homeland and Korean workers who do the same job in Korea as theirs, and what factors affect the feelings. For the study, 742 migrant workers from China, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia employed by manufacturing firms in Seoul and Gyenggi areas were surveyed. The results show that most migrant workers in Korea feel unfair about their wages, and the feeling of unfairness appears more strongly when comparing with the Korean workers than with their homeland workers. The effectiveness of variables affecting fairness also varies according to the object of comparison: in comparison to homeland workers, age, sex, monthly income before migration, money spent for employment, and satisfaction with working conditions are significant: in comparison to Korean workers, ethnicity, sex, legal status, satisfaction with working conditions are significant.

This study seeks those elements that form a sense of place in Yen-Ben Street, which represents a typical ethnic enclave in Seoul, to provide a basic resource in the creation of an urban landscape that can provide a positive space for cultural diversity. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: First, the element of a physical environment that develops a sense of place was in fact the poor dwellings that correspond to the economic condition of Korean Chinese. While this element has a negative cognition to outsiders, Korean Chinese feel positively toward it. Secondly, signboards were a physical element of sense of place which retains cultural identity as a means of communication inside the community. Thirdly, it was found that activities such as shopping, recreation, and the exchange of information that are found in the pursuit of daily life act as an essential element in the formation of a sense of place even more than architectural elements. Fourthly, the appropriation of space by Korean Chinese and the isolation from the surroundings were obvious. This isolation is perceived as a negative sense of place formation to outsiders in Yen-Ben Street. Fifthly, the aspects of cultural dualism, mingling the concepts of home country, language, writing, and food have also affected the formation of a sense of place in the area. Sixthly, transience was a prominent phenomenon of Yen-Ben Street and is strengthened by illegal immigration. Although transience causes negative impacts such as in a lack of concern for the residential environment, it acts as a positive factor in the sense of place by mitigating uneasiness, and strengthening insider ties and cooperation.

With recent news reports on violent crimes committed by foreigners, public hatred toward foreign criminals and fear about such crimes are growing, calling into question public safety measures implemented by the police and the immigration system. At the same time, due to globalization and structural changes in the labor market, it is certain that the influx of migrant workers will continue to increase. Against this backdrop, this paper seeks to examine the current status of foreign nationals staying in Korea and their criminal records focusing on Suwon city, and propose public safety measures the police could take with regard to crimes committed by foreigners. Also, the paper looks into public safety measures of the Korea Immigration Service and Suwon city, and suggests short- and long-term measures to prevent crimes committed by foreigners. The paper begins by examining the current public safety measures of the police and Suwon City concerning crimes committed by foreign nationals residing in Korea. Based on such examination, it points out insufficient patrol and investigation personnel as problems, and recommends short- and long-term measures for future improvement. This paper maintains that for the Korean society to successfully deal with the increasing number of foreigners in Korea, the current immigration system and public safety measures of the police will have to change. While the police alone cannot reduce the crime rates at local and national levels, nonetheless, proactive measures by the police are needed given the growing number of migrant workers and immigrants in Korea. Also important are mindset changes not only of relevant authorities, but also of the public. The paper recommends a set of short-and long-term public safety measures the police should institute to efficiently deal with crimes committed by foreigners.

Facing reconfiguration of world economic order in the process of globalization and changes in domestic economic and social conditions, Japan has experienced a rapid inflow of foreign immigrants and hence a restructuring of labor market and ethic and cultural mixture. This paper explores contexts of inflow and social and spatial characteristics of immigrant workers in Japan. Uneven regional development on the global level and shifting to flexible accumulation regime, depletion of previously underutilized labor resource, better-educated youth and shrinking and aging of Japanese populace on the national level can be pointed out as important elements of immigration contexts. This paper also explains the hierarchizaton of labor market and differentiation of spatial distribution of immigrant workers in Japan in terms of visa condition and nationality. In particular, focusing on the case of Hiroshima prefecture, this paper analyzes residential differentiation of immigrants according to their nationality. Finally, it finds out some problems which immigrant workers have confronted in Hiroshima region.

This paper aims to examine the third-person effect(TPE) of hate comments on online news, and analyze how the issue-relevant audience factors as well as the characteristics of the online message have influence on the TPE. More specifically, based on the distinction between hateful and logical comments regarding the issue of illegal immigration, the authors have conducted an online experiment that compares how the message-related features, i.e., ways of expressing the ideas, lead to the difference in TPE. Analysis was also conducted with regards to how political orientation and discriminatory predisposition to immigrants among the audiences, have different impacts on the TPE. The 479 participants in the experiments were randomly assigned to experimental group(exposed to hate comments) or control group(exposed to logical comments). The results reveal that the TPE of hate comments is higher than that of logical message. The same message proved to be more effective for news users with liberal orientation and discriminatory predisposition. The significance of this paper lies in that it has examined the effect of online hate comments in a rigorous experimental setting. Also the research further elaborated on the audience-related variables, for which the previous studies tended to focus those on the general psychological level rather than relate them more specifically to the issues.
