This study aims to spatialize the gap between obesity levels through the body mass index, an objective indicator of the level of health among vulnerable people. Thus, areas where the BMI showed cluster patterns with spatial high and low values were extracted and the characteristics of the region were analyzed. The analysis showed that the I statistics for the obesity rate were 0.07 and the z-score was 4.39, confirming spatial autocorrelation. For z-score, it was much larger than the maximum threshold of 2.57. This means that the rate of obesity among the socially vulnerable is regional, and this gap is spatially significant. The results of comparing and analyzing the local environment for these areas of obesity and health care were found to be areas with poor public transportation, less readily available parks, and a concentration of single and multi-generation housing. The analysis results of this study are meaningful in that they provide spatial implications for the health of the socially vulnerable class that previous studies have neglected.

Both the selection of indicators and weights for them are critical issues in the vulnerability assessment. This study is to assess the air pollution vulnerability focused on ozone for 249 local jurisdictions using weights calculated by the entropy methodology and then examine the applicability of the methodology. We selected indicators for air pollution vulnerability assessment and standardized them. Subsequently, we calculated weights of each indicator using the entropy method and then integrated them into the vulnerability index. The exposure indicators consider meteorological and air pollution factors and the sensitivity of the local jurisdiction include variables on vulnerable areas and environments. The adaptive capacity contains socio-economic characteristics, health care capacities and air pollution managemental factors. The results show that Hwaseong-si, Gwangjin-gu, Gimpo-si, Gwangju-si, Gunpo-si are among the highest vulnerabilities based on the simple aggregation of indicators. And vulnerability-resilience (VRI) aggregation results indicates the similar spatial pattern with the simple aggregation outcomes. This article extends current climate change vulnerability assessment studies by adopting the entropy method to evaluate relative usefulness of data. In addition, the results can be used for developing customized adaptation policies for each jurisdiction reflecting vulnerable aspects.

자연재해 중 홍수의 경우 단기간에 발생하며, 큰 인명 및 금전적 피해를 가져오는 재해이다. 1970년~2017년 국내 홍수 피해 분석결과 사상자(총 8,152명)는 점차 줄어드는 추세를 보이지만, 반대로 피해액(총 17조5,000억원)은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(wamis, 국가수자원관리종합정보시스템). 이러한 국내 홍수 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 각 유역 또는 지역별 특성을 고려한 홍수 취약성 평가가 필요하다. 홍수 취약성은 대상 지역의 기상, 지형, 인문학적 상황에 따라 상이하게 나타나며, 홍수 취약성을 평가하는 인자의 선정 또한 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 홍수 피해 자료와 홍수 인자간의 인과관계를 분석하여 홍수 취약성 지표 선정 및 취약성 평가를 실시하였다. 홍수 취약성 평가를 위해 홍수 피해 자료와 대상 인자간의 상관성 분석을 통해 상관계수 값이 상대적으로 높게 나온 인자를 선정하였다. 대상 인자는 크게 기상학적 인자, 지형학적 인자, 사회·인문학적 인자로 구분하였다 선정된 인자 간 서로 높은 상관성을 보일 시 공선성이 존재함을 의미하며, 이러한 공선성을 방지하기 위해 VIF (Variance Inflation Factor, 분산팽창계수)를 통한 공선성 검토를 적용하였다. 또한 각 인자 간 에는 서로 다른 단위 및 범위를 가진다. 이러한 경우 특정 인자들의 증감을 취약성 평가에 반영하기에 어려움이 있으며, 유역별 평가 시 신뢰성이 낮아진다. 따라서 Re-scaling 방법을 통해 각 인자의 단위 및 범위를 표준화 후 동일가중치 법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 전체 유역 중 홍수피해가 가장 크게 발생하는 낙동강 태화강 유역을 연구 대상 지역으로 선정하였다. 태화강은 도심지의 중심부를 흐르는 하천이며, 산지의 고도가 높은 지형적 특성을 가지고 있어 홍수에 대한 취약성이 높은 것으로 나타났다(wamis, 국가수자원관리종합정보시스템). 태화강 유역 홍수 취약성 평가결과 유역별 기상, 지형, 인문학적 특성에 따라 홍수 취약성이 높게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 유역 내 도심지 비율, 인구밀도, 토지피복 특성에 의한 것으로 주로 지형학적 인자로 인해 취약성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구에서 활용한 홍수 취약성 평가 방법은 향후 홍수피해 대책 수립에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study analyzes actual conditions of private health insurance empirically by using the decision to join Korea Health Panel data. First, the study investigates how sociodemographic factors influence joining the private health insurance. Next, the relationship between the private health insurance membership and the frequency of medical service utilization is analyzed. The main results of these analyses can be summarized as follows: the socially vulnerable are less likely to join private health insurance relative to the middle and upper classes. The frequency of medical service utilization of private insurance members is relatively higher. This fact contains the possibility that the middle and upper classes are able to receive more medical services through private health insurance membership, while the socially vulnerable have difficulty with obtaining medical services in spite of much need. Therefore, policies are needed which manage the private health insurance more effectively and secure the publicity of health service socially.

전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인한 풍수해 피해가 증가하고 있으며 그로 인한 여러 가지 대책이 추진되고 있는 실정이다. 최근 우리나라는 10년간 매년 풍수해로 인해 발생하는 피해액은 약 3천 5백억 원에 해당될 만큼 많은 피해가 발생되고 있기 때문에(행정안전부, 2016), 정확한 홍수취약성을 산정한 후 효율적인 치수대책을 마련할 필요가 있다. 수자원장기종합계획(2001)에서 제시한 홍수피해잠재능(Potential Flood Damage, PFD)은 위험성과 잠재성으로 구성되어 있으며, 대상 지역의 홍수에 대한 취약정도를 나타내는 지수이다. 하지만, 기존의 홍수피해잠재능 산정 방법은 일부 지역에서 발생한 홍수 피해를 평균적인 측면에서 산정하였기 때문에 그 타당성에 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 한강의 일부 유역을 대상으로 수자원 장기종합계획에서 제시했던 방법론과 실제 홍수위험지역을 반영한 홍수피해잠재능을 산정한 후 비교 및 고찰하였다.

The physical and psychological weaknesses of delinquent adolescents increase the possibility of socialization and the possibility of social exclusion. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the characteristics of the social exclusion through the Q methodology and to suggest policy and practical intervention directions. For this purpose, 36 statements about social exclusion were conducted through 15 prejudicial adolescents with the prior cooperation of the institution and the consent of the subjects. As a result of the analysis, four types were derived. Type 1 can be named as social disconnect type 'Type 2 is total type', type 3 is 'poverty type' and type 4 is 'service type'. Based on this, it can be said that the characteristics of social exclusion of juvenile delinquents are complexity, inclusivity, individuality, universality.

As the untact culture spreads, the digital divide, which is a problem of access to digital information for the vulnerable, can appear as information inequality in various fields, including the social and cultural field. This study identified the digital divide level for the vulnerable population and analyzed the effects of information accessibility, demographic and social characteristics, and physical and mental health characteristics on the information level. As a result, the higher the accessibility of information, the smaller the digital divide and the greater the digital utilization, so it is necessary to increase the accessibility of information devices and increase the ability to utilize them. In addition, the higher the age, the more women than men, and the lower the income level, the greater the digital divide, so it is necessary to increase digital capabilities through detailed class-specific programs for the vulnerable. Finally, it was found that the digital divide and the level of digital literacy had a significant effect on the life satisfaction and daily life satisfaction of the vulnerable. The expansion of competency-building education programs to enhance information utilization capabilities by changing the paradigm to a digital inclusion policy should be continuously operated.

Probability of technology risk is expected to increase as the post catch-up innovation, characterized by high uncertainty and high risk, would dominate in the coming era of post catchup. Social controversy on online game as a post catch-up innovation is still ongoing, though the shutdown law was enacted by the government. Socio-technical vulnerability causing technology risk paradoxically arose from the world top-level ICT infrastructures and has been reinforced by developmentalism. While both the pros and cons of the regulation fail to recognize dilemma objectively, social cost is brought about and accumulated. With recognizing dilemma between technology innovation and risks, we can tackle technology risks and ensure responsible innovation in post catch-up era.

Social enterprises can be identified roughly as social purpose-oriented business ventures. They often fill the gaps left by governmental and commercial ventures in providing for certain vulnerable sectors of society. Though social enterprises often adopt market mechanisms in their organizational structures, their emphasis on particular social outcomes means that they intentionally pursue double/triple-bottom lines, thus distinguishing them from many traditional for-profit businesses. Among the Korean laborers, women have been hardest hit by the global economic crisis. As the movements have substantially been taken to strengthen women's economic activities in the recent years, many policies are formulated with these trends, connecting women's employment with social enterprises. This study focused on analyzing social enterprises to be friendly and to provide decent work to women. Data were collected from 491 social enterprises and 830 workers. The main results are as follows. First, the women's employment in social enterprises has accounted for a relatively high rate and the women's wage also is similar to men's one. Second, as for work conditions and types, most women have preferred irregular and non-managerial work. Thus, social enterprises have showed a positive response for the women's job opportunities, while social enterprises have had a negative one for enhancing the women's status at the labor market. In conclusion, social enterprises should institutionalize how to provide more stable working condition to women and to improve their's capacity.
