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.

지난해는 본격적인 지역사회 중심의 사회복지서비스 시대의 원년이라는 수식어가 따라다닐 만큼 사회복지서비스 영역에 중대 변화를 예고했던 몇 가지 일들이 있었다. 사회복지서비스 관련 사업의 지방이양과 그에 따른 재정분권, 사회복지사업법 개정에 따른 지역사회복지체계의 구축, 지역복지계획의 수립, 사회복지사무소의 설치 등이 바로 그것이다. 이미 2001-2002년에 전국 15개 지역을 대상으로 지역사회복지협의체 시범사업이 실시되었고, 2003년 6월 사회복지사업법을 개정하여 2005년8월부터 전국234개 기초자치단체를 대상으로 지역사회복지협의체(이하 협의체)를 구성, 운영하도록 하였다.

This study aims to elaborate differences of demand and supply in welfare service delivery upon regions. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 welfare bureaucrats from Dong offices among largest and smallest portions of recipients in Seoul. The results indicated that there were significant differences in the proportion of welfare bureaucrats versus welfare recipients (11-450 households) of the National Basic Livelihood Guarantee System, the amount of available private sector resources, and the difficulty of providing visitation counseling upon regions. Research implications were discussed further to address regional disparities of welfare services.

The increased needs for medical cost containment and the quality of life improvement for the low-income elderly with chronic disease require the complementary relationship between hospital care and community health services. This study investigated the current status of the linkage between Korean hospital care and community services using Seoul Welfare Panel Study(SWPS) data. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the effects of experiences of hospitalization and outpatient health services on use and needs of community health services. The analysis results indicated that the elderly with chronic disease who have not experienced outpatient health services were unlikely to receive health and social services in the community. Even those who have experienced hospitalization were not provided complementary health services in the community despite the increasing demand.

정부 3.0의 패러다임에 맞추어 사회복지서비스의 복지정책과 수요는 폭발적으로 증가할 것이다. 이에 반해 현장에서 정책을 실질적으로 집행 할 수 있는 인력인 사회복지사 등의 부족으로 실제 국민들에게 혜택이 제대로 돌아가지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 최소화하기 위해서 복지정책의 수정과 함께 사회복지전달체계의 시스템화는 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 민 관의 복지서비스 지원 시스템과 흩어져 있던 복지자원을 통합하고 시민과 이웃이 모두 참여 할 수 있는 복지서비스 지워 시스템의 구축은 미래 복지서비스의 새로운 방향을 제시할 것이다. 본 논문은 사각지대에 놓인 복지수요자의 발굴이 용이하고 민 관 복지서비스를 통합해서 제공할 수 있는 새로운 사회복지전달체계 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다.

This paper analyzes whether social welfare services converge across the regions. We tested whether local social welfare services converge considering the congestion rate of local social welfare services during the 1985-2013 periods in Korea, using the sixteen higher level local governments panel data. The main findings are as follows. First, the absolute level of local social welfare services converge so that the -convergence exists. Second, the growth rate of local social welfare services increases as the intial level of local social welfare services is lower so that there exists -convergence. The policy implications of our findings are as follows. The local government had better consider the presence of local social welfare services in policy decision making. Also, fundamentally the social welfare policies had better be executed by the central government rather than local governments, since the national minimum welfare must be provided.

This research purports to examine the mediating effects of right perception and performance at service processes in relationship to the social worker's professionalism and user advocacy. As the research method, 198 social workers were surveyed, and structural equation was used for analysis. The research findings showed that the professionalism of social workers had a direct influence on right perception, right performances at service processes and user-advocacy. However, right perception at service processes do not have a direct influence on user advocacy. In addition to this right perception and performances at service processes was proven to be an important mediator between a social worker's professionalism and user advocacy. As a result, this research has implied the necessity for social work practice to promote user-advocacy.

This study examined the factors affecting social welfare service utilization of general group and low-income group. The following influencing variables were selected based on the model developed by Anderson and Newman(1973): predisposing factors, enabling factors, need factors. The result shows that in both group the possibility of service utilization is high in case of having a spouse, more family members, feeling one's health ill, no chronic disease. And service use level is high in case of having no spouse, lower income in general group, higher income in low-income group, more family members, feeling one's health ill, having a chronic disease. In addition, the higher service use level is associated in low-income group with men rather than women, younger age, low education, the unemployed rather than the employed, urban residents, low life satisfaction. These findings provide implications and suggestions that each income group has various characteristics and needs, so it is necessary to provide comprehensive and appropriate services through the investigation for potential service recipients' needs.

노령인구와 사회 취약 계층을 지원하기 위해 사회복지에 대한 사회적 노력이 확대되고 있으며, 또한 사물인터넷 (Internet of Things: loT)이란 IT 기술의 발전을 통해 사회복지 체계를 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 기회가 마련되었다. 사물인터넷은 사물들로부터 수집한 정보를 분석 및 처리함으로써 다양한 지능 서비스 제공이 가능하기 때문에 그 활용도가 점차 증대되고 있다. 그러나 기존 사물인터넷 기반 사회취약 계층 서비스들은 Healthcare 서비스에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 이는 사회복지 전 분야에 대한 효율적인 서비스 제공에 어려움을 주게 된다. 따라서 사회복지 체계에 대한 효과적인 지원을 위해 IT 융합 기반 기술이 제공되어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 사회복지 체계를 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 서비스를 제공하기 위한 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 제안한다. 제안된 플랫폼은 loT 장치와 스마트 폰으로부터 정보를 수집하고 처리하여 이를 기반으로 다양한 사회복지 서비스 지원한다.
