This study explores how the digital divide caused by personal SES(Socio-Economic Status) eventually affect personal life satisfaction. The study also investigates the differences between living in urban and rural areas, as well as the differences among generations, with respect to the digital divide and personal life satisfaction. Based on the Korean Media Panel data produced by KISDI, this study used 9,647 national samples to obtain variables such as digital divide, and life satisfaction. Results show that personal SES is a key factor that significantly influences digital divide and life satisfaction in various degrees. Also, the study finds that the degree of the digital divide have an effect on people's life satisfaction. The findings imply that people living in urban areas are more highly used to digital media than those in rural areas regardless of their SES. The study has an implication, in terms of digital equity among generations as well as urban and rural residents.

Purpose: Food environmental factors related to food insecurity affect household food intake in several socio-ecological aspects. This study explores the relationship between food environment factors and food insecurity in households with married immigrant women. Methods: From November 2018 to February 2020, a survey was conducted enrolling 249 married immigrant women residing in the metropolitan areas of South Korea. In the final analysis, 229 subjects were divided into 2 groups classified as food security (n = 154) and food insecurity (n = 75), as assessed by the score of food security. Three aspects of food environments were measured: built·natural, political·economic, and socio-cultural Results: Food environments were significantly different between food security and food insecurity groups, as follows: the number of foods market and their distance from the home and food status for the last week at home in the built·natural domain; monthly cost of food purchase and experience for food assistance in the political·economic domain; total score of social support, parenting, and cooking skills in the socio-cultural domain. A stepwise multivariate linear regression model showed a negative association between the food insecurity score with social support from family and food inventory status in the last week. After adjusting for confounders, a positive association was obtained between the experience of a food support program. The final regression model explains about 30% of the relationship obtained in the three food environment domains and food insecurity (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Not only economic factors, which are common determinants of household food insecurity, but socio-cultural factors such as social support also affect household food insecurity. Therefore, plans for implementing a food assistance program to improve food insecurity for households with immigrant women should consider financial support as well as other comprehensive aspects, including socio-cultural domain such as social support from family and community.

The purpose of study was to evaluate the economic evaluation of Chuncheon curling stadium. In oder to estimate economic evaluation, benefit/cost ratio, net present value and internal rate of return were used. Additionally, in order to investigate the socio-economic spread effect, literature review and input-output analysis were used. The results of study were as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the demand for curling stadiums in Chuncheon, it was believed that the construction of the stadium will attract athletes from the Chuncheon region as well as athletes from Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi Province and North Chungcheong Province. Second, economic validity analysis showed that the initial investment did not make sense, but the players' training and competitions and the advantages of the potential experience of curling events for citizens in nearby areas, including Chuncheon, make the construction and operation reasonable. Third, as a result of the review of the social and policy validity of the curling stadium, the project to build a curling stadium in Chuncheon was secured with a policy validity as a public sports facility necessary for both professional and living athletes. Finally, the analysis of socio-economic spread effect of curling stadiums had shown that it would have a positive effect on the level of satisfaction of the general public as well as the discovery of elite athletes.

As the social economy emerges as one of the alternatives for solving social problems, interest and experiments on social franchise, a methodology for scaling the social economy, continue to increase. The success or failure of social franchise has a huge impact on franchisors, members of franchisees, as well as beneficiaries, local residents, and stakeholders in the region, but research on ways to increase their chances of success is still insufficient. Based on previous studies, this study tried to derive success factors by analyzing the effects of social franchise characteristics on business performance, and to understand the mediating effect of franchise autonomy, which is the differentiation point of social franchises, between characteristic factors and business performance. Social value orientation, social economy experience, local network utilization, and customer orientation were derived as characteristic factors affecting business performance, and franchise autonomy was set as a mediating variable, and a survey was conducted for franchisee members and their influence was analyzed. Through this study, it was found that social economy experience and local network utilization had a positive (+) effect on economic performance, and social value orientation, local network utilization, and customer orientation had a positive (+) effect on social performance. Also, the results of franchise autonomy playing a mediating role between social economy experience, local network utilization and economic performance, and a mediating role between local network utilization and social performance were presented. This study has significance as the first study to conduct a full-scale empirical study on social franchises. It is hoped that theoretical research on social franchises will be more active in the future and will be used as a useful reference for performance creation for organizations that seek or already operate social franchises.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate depression and suicide ideation according to socioeconomic changes after COVID-19 among Korean adolescent. Methods : Data on the study population were obtained from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS). The KYRBS is a nationally representative sample of Korean adolescents (aged 12-18 years) that originally included over 103 questions in 15 domains of health-risk behaviors. In the 16th KYRBS, a total 54,948 students from 793 schools responded to the survey. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were conducted regarding depression and suicide ideation. Results : This study suggests that changes in the family household before and after COVID-19 pandemic are also affecting the mental health of the adolescents. The study shows that worse change of family household is significant associations with suicidal ideation and depression. Adolescents reporting worse (AOR 1.38; 95% CI 1.38-1.57) and much worse (AOR 2.07; 95% CI 1.87-2.29) were significantly more likely to report depression. Adolescents reporting worse (AOR 1.34; 95% CI 1.34-1.60) and much worse (AOR 2.01; 95% CI 1.76-2.29) were significantly more likely to report suicide ideation. Conclusions : In this study, it was confirmed that young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds are at high risk of suicide ideation and more depression. The results of this study suggest that we should consider improving the screening and prevention of mental health problems for adolescents with poor socioeconomic changes of COVID-19.

Based on the theoretical review of social cooperatives and the results of the fourth round of fact-finding, this study tried to discuss the sustainability of social co-operatives from the social, economic, and environmental aspects, focusing on the seven principles of co-operatives. The issue of sustainability is "a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, the use of resources, the direction of investment, technological advances and institutional change in harmony with one another. as defined as "a process of change that advances the needs and desires of all future generations". It contains the meaning of connecting a sustainable society to future generations through harmony and balance, rather than opposing concepts of social value, environmental conservation, and economic growth. As a result of arranging the concept of social, economic, and environmental sustainability contained in sustainable development, and the seven principles of cooperatives and their connections, I would like to suggest the following about the sustainability of social cooperatives. First, efforts should be made for social contribution closely related to the local community. Second, it is necessary to create a profit model along with the public interest. Third, partnerships should be strengthened. When examining the public values and objectives that social cooperatives want to realize through this study, the three scopes of sustainable development are directly related to the role of important actors in pursuing social and economic values that social and economic organizations are facing. would. Therefore, the sustainability issue of social cooperatives is based on the concept that the goals and values pursued by social cooperatives are harmonious and balanced development in the environmental, social, and economic aspects, not only their own efforts but also the institutional support of the government. this will have to be presented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the zero-sum belief scale among a sample of Korean adults. The original scale was developed by Różycka-Tran, Boski, and Wojciszke (2015) based on the Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) model. A total of 508 participants (252 college students and 256 non-student adults) completed an online survey comprised of the scales of zero-sum belief, social trust, subjective socioeconomic status, individualistic-collectivistic tendencies, and social comparison orientation. Results of the exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that zero-sum belief scale has one factor. The internal consistency of the zero-sum belief scale was good. The Zero-sum belief scale did not have a significant relationship with social trust and subjective socioeconomic status. However, the scale was positively associated with vertical individualistic and vertical collectivistic tendencies and negatively associated with horizontal collectivistic tendencies. There was no significant relationship between zero-sum belief and horizontal individualistic tendencies, but there was a significant positive relationship between zero-sum belief and social comparison orientation. However, the results from the college student sample and the non-student adult sample were different. Lastly, this study could facilitate future research on zero-sum belief in South Korea, and future studies are needed to reveal the predictors and effects of zero-sum belief.

사회-수문시스템의 인과관계에 대한 보다 상세한 통찰하기 위해서는 현재의 사회-수문시스템의 기능을 이해하고 미래의 사회-수문시스템의 변화 궤적을 예상할 수 있는 모형이 필요하다. 사회-수문학적 관점에서는 수문순환 현상과 더불어 인간 활동과 관련된 인구, 토지이용, 경제성, 환경변화로 연계되는 사회-수문시스템 내 복잡한 관계해석 과정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 하천유지유량 결정기준에 따른 사회-수문시스템의 변화과정을 이해하고 가능한 영향궤적을 평가하기 위해 사회수문학적 관점으로 해석하고자 한다. 현재 우리나라에서는 하천유량고시지점 114개 중 각 항목별 고시지점의 비율은 수질(33%), 평균갈수량(33%), 생태(29%), 경관(4%), 수질 및 염해(1%)로 나타났다(2019년 고시 현황). 따라서 사회-수문시스템 내에서 하천유지유량 결정기준 차이에 따라 환경적, 사회적, 경제적 측면으로의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 구조방정식모형을 모델링 한 후, 모형 내 잠재요인(기상, 수문, 환경, 사회·경제)의 상호연관성을 파악하였다. 기상학적 요소로는 기온, 강수량을 선정하였으며, 인간의 활동이 개입된 수문학적 요소는 유량, 하천수이용량으로 선정하였다. 환경적 요소는 BOD, COD, SS를 선정하였으며, 사회·경제적 요소는 인구, 지가변동률을 고려하였다. 이와 같은 사회-수문시스템 내 잠재요인별 요소를 바탕으로 사회-수문학적 영향평가를 위한 가설을 검증하기 위해 통계 프로그램 AMOS를 활용하여 구조방정식모형을 모델링하였다. 향후 사회-수문학 관점에서의 복잡한 영향관계를 정량적으로 평가하고, 다양한 이해관계자 간의 합의를 도출하는 데 있어서 효율적인 의사결정도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

가정학은 현대 생활에서 떼어놓을 수 없는 한 부분이며, 사회 복지를 위해서 필수적인 요소이다. 사회, 경제, 기술, 문화적인 면에서의 여러 가지 변화는 가정학의 초점과 내용, 가정학이 여러 계층의 사람들과 가지는 관계에 영향을 미쳐왔다. 가족 생활형태의 변화는 가정학의 일반적인 원리나 가정학 교과과정의 내용 등과 같은 여러 차원에 영향을 준다. 가정학의 image를 우리 사회의 중요한 학문으로서 개선시키는 방법들이 연구되어져야 한다. 가정학은 변화하는 학문이며, 따라서 변이기중에 개선되기 쉽다. 가정학의 미래는 우리의 실천 정도와 현재 가정학에 종사하는 사람들의 생산성과 노력에 달려 있다. 지금까지의 가정학의 업적, 힘에 기반을 단단히 세움으로써 가정학은 사회의 급속히 변해가는 욕구에 보다 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 것이다. 가정학이 지니는 특이성은, 사회.경제의 주요 단위로서의 가족의 reinforcement, 산업사회로부터 정보 사회로의 급속한 이동, 새로운 기술들의 이용에 대한 도덕적.윤리적 문제, 경제적인 변호, 힘의 분산등과 같은 현 사회가 당면한 많은 도전에 대처해 나가는데 도움이 된다. 사회가 더욱 복잡해질수록 가정학은 새로운 차원을 추가하면서 적응해 나갈 것이다. 그러나 가정학의 특이성은 변하지 않고 그대로 남아 있을 것이다.
