The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting the conflict between grandparents raising grandchildren and adult children. The data were based on the panel survey to explore korean retirement and income study conducted by National Pension Service in 2009. For this study, 287 parenting grandparents rearing grandchild are selected from the survey. Included variables are a demographic factor, a economic factor, a caregiving-related factor, a health factor, and a family relationship factor. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, co-relation and logistic regression, with SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The results are as follows: First, when grandparents are male, older, highly educated, having no religion, and unemployed, a conflict with their adult children grows. Second, when grandparents do not have earned income or financial income, but have private income transfers, a conflict with their adult children is high. Third, when grandchildren are younger, there are no caregiving rewards, economic activities suspension or reduction because of caregiving, a conflict with their adult children is strong. Also, when grandparents' physical health is good, but their mental health is poor, a conflict with their adult children increases. Fourth, when grandparents' satisfactions with family relationship and spouse relationship are low, but their satisfaction with adult children relationship is high, a conflict with their adult children rises. This study suggests that unlike in the past, grandparents raising grandchildren can no longer make sacrifice themselves for their adult children, but they expect proper exchange between parents and children. Therefore, there needs to be understanding of grandparents raising grandchildren and further studies of a conflict between grandparents raising grandchildren their adult children.

이 글은 강원남부 탄광지역의 쇠퇴와 인구사회학적 변동 양상을 검토하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 우선 탄광지역의 특성을 살펴보고 탄광지역이 쇠퇴하게 된 원인을 규명하고자 한다. 그 다음으로 지역사회에 나타나고 있는 산업구조와 인구구조의 변화를 중점적으로 살피고자 한다. 연구 결과 태백지역이 쇠퇴하게 된 직접적인 요인은 석탄산업 합리화 정책의 시행으로 볼 수 있다. 이와 함께 태백지역은 탄광산업이 지역성장이 유일한 원동력이었다는 사실 즉, 탄광산업의 쇠퇴는 바로 이 지역의 급격한 경기침체와 인구유출의 직접적인 원인이 되었음을 알 수 있다. 급격한 경기침체는 산업구조의 변화에서 잘 드러나고 있으며 인구유출 양상은 지역의 인구변화 추이에서 잘 드러나고 있다. 최근 폐광지역개발지원특별법에 의해 수립된 종합개발계획도 상당 부분 무산되거나 기약 없이 미뤄지고 있다는 점과 지역개발을 강원랜드 카지노에만 지나치게 의존하고 있는 문제점 등이 드러나면서 지역경기 침체와 인구감소 추세는 계속되고 있다. 탄광지역의 주민소득 증대는 물론 새로운 고용창출로 지역경제를 활성화시키는 보다 구체적이고 실질적인 발전 전략이 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 한국복지패널 10차년(2015년)도 자료를 이용하여 베이비부머세대의 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 통합적 접근을 시도하고자 한다. 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 변인으로는 성별, 교육수준, 건강상태 등의 인구학적 요인, 경제적 요인으로 가구소득, 심리적 요인으로 우울과 자아존중감, 사회적 요인으로 신뢰와 상호호혜성, 가구수준과 종사상 지위 등을 독립변수로 설정하여 기술통계분석, 상관분석, 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 베이비부머의 삶의 만족에 대해 건강상태(B=.236, t=9.914, p<.001), 가구소득(B=.131, t=4.535, p<.001), 우울(B=-.186, t=-7.568, p<.001), 자아존중감(B=.286, t=11.080, p<.001), 신뢰(B=.049, t=2.128, p<.05), 종사상 지위(B=.081, t=3.284, p<.01) 등이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of perceived health and ageism experience of the elderly on successful aging, which were respectively presumed as predictors of biomedical model and psychosocial model of the successful aging. As important research results, firstly, negligence among ageism experience constructs appeared higher than other discriminatory experiences. Secondly, male showed significantly higher discriminatory experience than female in the area of 3 constructs such as property, negligence and employment ageism. Also there were some different discriminative experiences in the area of perceived health and ageism in terms of age, wealth and education. Finally, the results of hierarchical multiple regression hired to find out factors influencing successful aging showed that the factors such as sex, wealth, perceived health and property discrimination of ageism affected successful ageing. Based on the analytic results, we verified that perceived health, i.e., predictor of biomedical model had higher effect on successful aging than ageism experience, i.e., predictor of psychosocial model of successful aging. Thus, it was suggested that health promotion policy should be considered with priority and also combating ageism as well for successful aging.

Baby boomers are the population group born between 1955 and 1974 in South Korea. They are the generation to grow up in the rural areas and it has been reported in the previous literature that a large part of baby boomers now hopes to return their hometowns after their retirement. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors that obstruct the baby boomers' residential relocation to their hometowns by in-depth interviews with three different types of baby boomers: returners, soon-to-be returner, and wanna-be returner. Findings of this study show that the reasons behind the hesitation to the migration may be grouped into four categories: concerns about insufficient jobs, lack of medical services, concerns about social relation network and poor cultural environment in their hometown.

Recently, as part of the crime prevention measures that focus on spatial characteristics on the determinants of crime-causing, interest in crime prevention (CPTED) through environmental design has been increasing. This study analyzed crime vulnerabilities in Ulju-gun for the purpose of establishing a master plan for crime prevention urban design (CPTED). The 12 indicators, including demographic, socioeconomic, and physical factors, were sampled from prior studies. As a next step, statistical analysis resulted in criminal vulnerability indexes. According to the analysis, districts with a high demographic crime vulnerability indexes were concentrated on apartment complexes, while districts with high socio-economic crime vulnerability indexes have low land prices and high proportion of female population. Also, the districts with high physical crime vulnerability indexes were found to be heavily distributed commercial ones with a large number of entertainment places. However, there was a limit to generalizing the indicators of previous studies to local governments with different regional characteristics. Therefore, further studies should be carried out by establishing additional indicators considering regional characteristics in the future.

This study aims to investigate the factors affecting tooth loss and the association between smoking and tooth loss, by using the forth Korea National Health and National Examination Survey(2007-2009) of 1,565 elderly people over 65 years old. In terms of the characteristics, as age increases, tooth loss increases. In particular, according to the results of the analysis that identify the correlation between smoking to gender, socio-economic status and dental visiting patterns after correcting socio-economic factors and behavior, it is clear that male's tooth loss is higher than female's in current smoking and tooth loss is caused highly in the lower socio-economic status. In the dental visiting patterns, tooth loss is high when visiting more than twice a year. Therefore, it seems to need a preventive non-smoking policy at the level of dental services through further studies.
