Objective : This study aimed to examine the association between the structural and functional aspects of social networks and health-promoting behaviors in community-dwelling older adults. Methods : Social networks based on structural and functional aspects and health-promoting behaviors by lifestyle were measured in 226 community-dwelling adults aged 65 years and over. To analyze the collected data, an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression were performed. Results : The network size was the highest in the friend network, and the frequency of contact and social support was the highest in the non-living family network. Health-promoting behaviors were highest for activities of daily living and lowest for productive and social activities. All subfactors of social networks showed significant positive correlations with health-promoting behaviors. Hierarchical regression showed social support from neighbors as the variable with a significant effect on health-promoting behaviors; gender and depression were also influencing factors, and this model showed 37% explanatory power. Conclusion : To promote healthy behaviors of older adultsin the community, the development of health promotion programs and related policies considering social networks centering on social support from neighbors is required.

The promotion of social economy is one of the Korean government's top 100 initiatives. As of August 2019, there are 2,249 certified social enterprises in Korea, showing explosive growth with a 41-fold increase from 2007 when the Social Enterprise Promotion Act was first enacted. Currently, the discussion of the sustainability of social-economic organizations is lively, including the issue of changing the certification system to the registration system. Noting the unusual management structure of social enterprise - seeking both social and economic value, this study identifies factors affecting the performance of social enterprises. The study focuses on an empirical investigation of the relationships between characteristics of entrepreneurs' experiences in social economy, strategic competency, the extent to which they seek social value, and their performance. This study is unique in social enterprise research due to its approach to the hybrid management structure of social enterprise with a focus on entrepreneurs' characteristics. Accordingly, this empirical investigation focuses on how social-value seeking mediates the relationships between strategic competency emphasized in typical for-profit enterprises, the characteristics of experiences stressed in social-economic organizations, and the performance of social enterprises. The study findings suggest that, firstly, social entrepreneurs must seek social value as a top priority and improve economic performance using strategic competency to keep pursuing social value, and secondly, social-value seeking must be founded upon entrepreneurs' understanding and experiences in social economy. Practical implications of the study findings include concrete directions for training in social enterprises offered by relevant agencies and the establishment of competency models for current and future entrepreneurs.

사회적 연결망 분석은 사회학에서 양적 분석방법과 질적 분석방법이 함께 안고 있는 문제, 즉 사회적 실체를 관계에 우선하여 측정하고 분석함으로써, 사회적 관계가 부차적이고 파생적으로 인식되는 문제를 해결하는 방안으로 제안되었다. 연결망 분석은 개인 혹은 집단과 조직간의 관계에 대한 형식적 접근을 통해 그 전반적 혹은 부분적 특성을 분석하는 방법으로, 사회적 구조의 발현적 속성에 초점을 맞춘다. 조직간의 연결망에 대한 분석을 통해 조직의 성과가 조직 자체의 속성 뿐 아니라 조직간의 관계의 속성에 의존함이 밝혀졌다.

Data were collected from 2,958 elderly who has spouse and aged 65 above in KOSA Panel. Data were analyzed by Amos program 7.0 version. The statistical techniques were used descriptive statistics χ² and covariance structural analysis. Major findings of this study were as follows; Healthful status were positively related to increasing effort on physical·cognitive functions as well as psychosocial characteristics. Physical·cognitive functions were positively and directly related to psychosocial characteristics and productive activities. Psychosocial characteristics were positively and directly related to productive activities. Physical·cognitive functions and psychosocial characteristics were increased by receiving a direct and positive effort from healthful status. Productive activities were increased by receiving a direct and positive effort from physical·cognitive functions and psychosocial characteristics.

This study examined the influence of social support (social support from family, social support from friends), psychological behavioral characteristics (self-esteem, interpersonal dependency, locus of control), and stress on the depression levels of college students. The study subjects were 546 college students in D city. The survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire in October 2015. As a result, the depression levels were significantly higher in the group showing lower family and friends' social support, self-esteem, and locus of control, while it was significantly higher in the group showing higher interpersonal dependency and stress. The depression levels of the subjects showed a negative correlation with family and friends' social support, self-esteem, and locus of control, but a positive correlation with interpersonal dependency and stress. Covariance structure analysis revealed an increase in the depression levels of college students when the awareness of the stress source was higher, and when the awareness of social support or psychological behavioral characteristics was lower. These results suggest that the depression levels of college students would be increased when the social support and psychological behavioral characteristics are low, and when stress is high. In particular, it was influenced much more by stress than other factors. Therefore, to decrease the depression levels of college students, it would be necessary to put efforts to understand their main stress sources and then reduce them.

일본(日本)이 선진국(先進國) 추급(追及)을 국민적(國民的) 노력(努力)으로 추구하여 옴에 있어 이를 뒷받침한 일본(日本)의 사회조직적(社會組織的) 특성(特性)은 적응적(適應的) 집단주의(集團主義)로서 기업에 국한하여 보더라도 경영제도(經營制度) 기업간관계(企業間關係)의 제측면(諸側面)에 나타나 있다. 그러나 경제성장과 함께 진행된 인구구조(人口構造) 기술(技術) 및 산업(産業) 의식구조(意識構造)의 변화(變化)는 일본(日本)의 경제사회를 움직여 온 전통적인 제도 및 조직의 논리와 운동양식(運動樣式)의 한계를 드러내고 있다. 한편 일본(日本)의 경제선진화(經濟先進化)가 실질적으로 끝남과 동시에 일본(日本)을 중심대상(中心對象)으로 하는 국제경제(國際經濟)의 구조적(構造的) 질서적(秩序的) 재편성(再編成)이 촉구되고 있다. 일본(日本)은 이러한 전환기에 직면하여 국내외적으로 발상(發想)과 행동(行動)의 근본적(根本的)인 변화를 시도하고 있으며, 일본(日本)의 장래(將來)는 이것의 성공 여부에 달려 있다고 할 수 있다. 이는 특히 한(韓) 미(美) 일(日) 관계의 전개 및 우리나라의 발전방향(發展方向)에도 큰 의미를 갖는 것이며, 일본(日本) 경제사회(經濟社會)의 동인(動因)을 이해하려는 것은 이러한 관점에서 매우 중요한 것이다.

This paper examines the characteristics and determinants of welfare attitudes in Korea. Based on Survey data, this study focuses mainly on how social-economic position variables, welfare status and welfare compliances influence attitudes towards welfare. Welfare attitudes can be classified by five areas as follows: legitimacy of welfare functions, affordability of welfare costs, need-based welfare principles, responsibility of welfare provision and adequacy of welfare spending. There are the major findings. First, attitudes towards welfare is identified state-friendly or pro-welfare attitudes. Second, among the social-economic position variables, welfare status and welfare norms variables, welfare compliance has statistically the most significant effects on welfare attitudes. Third, the level of pro-welfare attitudes is largely determined by welfare norms and images espoused by individuals. These findings suggest that we can not apply cleavages thesis which are developed by studies on the support for welfare state.

This study inquired the features of restructuring of shipbuilding industry and structure of community cooperation. The Sinhyeon-eup region has experienced rapid changes as a large shipyard location. Prior to Korea, Japan has developed the cooperation of company-community-residents relationships and the reorganization of location systems through division and accumulation system. The restructuring of shipbuilding industry in Korea have focused on the improvement of business environment. So they have not been efficiently settled in the accumulation and the cooperation structure between company and region. Japan established the organic cooperation structure of company and community before the large restructuring, while the shipbuilding industry city of our country commenced it with the crisis of community by the restructuring. In the Sinhyeon-eup region, The connecting ring among the production sections of a core company in center is established. However the structure of community cooperation is weak. The structure of community cooperation as local governance consist of company, pubic institution, local residents, and regional expert. This structure can be a rational channel in which it can not only strengthen the cohesion of the community, but also solve the present questions of the industrial city.

본 연구의 목적은 정기시장을 이용하는 이동 상인과 소비자의 특성을 분석하여, 정기시장의 중심지 기능과 공간 구조를 이해하려는 것이다. 충청북도 영동군 지역을 사례로 해서 8개의 정기시장을 이용하는 상인에 대한 면접 조사와 소비자에 대한 설문 조사를 통해서 자료를 수집하였다. 정기시장의 연구는 경제-입지적 접근 방법이나 사회-문화적 접근 방법으로 행해지지만, 정기시장의 기능을 상인과 소비자의 두 측면에서 모두 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 고차위 중심지에 위치한 정기시장은 규모가 커진 반면, 저차위 중심지에 위치한 정기시장은 쇠퇴하고 있는 것이 확인되었다. 정기시장을 유지시켜 왔던 사회적 관성과 비교 우위는 농촌의 근대화 과정에서 점차 사라지고 있으며, 이러한 사회경제적 변화가 정기시장을 쇠퇴시키고 있다.

본 논문은 다큐멘터리 사진의 의미구조와 특성을 스티브 맥커리(Steve Mcccury)의 작품을 통해서 사진이 내포하고 있는 의미구조와 텍스트의 이중적 구조의 전달 방식에 대한 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 다큐멘터리 사진이 갖고 있는 시각적 믿음의 생산에 따른 이미지의 진실성은 다양한 양식과 표현 기법을 통해서 전달되고 있는 점을 살펴볼 수 있다. 결국, 다큐멘터리 사진이 갖고 있는 우리 사회의 모습은 단순한 기록매체로의 수단이 아니라는 점을 인식하여야 할 것이다.
