20세기말 우리 사회에 가장 큰 영향을 미친 것은 바로 컴퓨터이다. 그래서 컴퓨터가 미래를 열어준다는 말까지 생겨났다. 진공관을 이용한 최초의 컴퓨터인 에니악(ANIAC)의 탄생 이후 멀티미디어로서의 수단 뿐만 아니라 광통신이나 인공위성을 이용한 초고속정보의 교류가 일반화되는 경지까지 이르게 한 컴퓨터는 인간의 삶을 보조해주는 가장 강력한 매체로 자리매김하였으며 문화적, 정신적 욕구를 충족시켜주는 역할을 할 것으로 파악된다. 컴퓨터와 전기통신이라는 정보사회의 두 가지 사회적 기술은 C & C(Computer & Communication) 또는 컴퓨티케이션이라는 말로 일컬어지는 통신기술의 디지틀화 및 결합으로 인하여 더욱 강력한 영향력을 발휘하게 되었다. 컴퓨터가 가지고 있는 정보의 처리, 축적, 검색기능이 결합된 정보통신기술은 보다 고도화되고 다양화됨으로써 정보획득과 새로운 정보를 추출하는데 소요되는 시간과 경비를 절약하게 해주어 기업경쟁력 및 개인의 다양한 정보욕구를 충족시키는데 커다란 기여를 하고 있다.

Akey factor in evolution is reproduction, which is also a major concern in medicine. Evolutionists have proposed many theories and hypotheses to explain the low fertility rates of modern industrial societies, which are contrary to maximization of biological fitness. Given that childbirth is the most significant factor affecting reproductive fitness, it is likely that a variety of psychological modules related to childbirth behavior and intention evolved over time. Several evolutionary psychological modules have been proposed in relation to reproduction, including sexual desire, status-seeking, a need for nurturing, and the desire for children. Previously adaptive psychological modules may now be expressed maladaptively due to the discrepancy between the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness (EEA) and the environment of modern industrial society. Several evolutionary ecological factors influence childbirth intention in modern society, including individual personality factors, childhood life history experiences, and socioecological factors throughout reproductive life. By focusing on mental, social, and ecological factors, this review examines several hypothetical models relating to evolutionary psychological factors and childbirth decisions in modern industrial society, as well as a possible explanation for the low birth rate.

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.

This research aims to figure the different perceptions on the organization-public relationship between military officials and the locals, and the perception on the support military family welfare. In order to analyse their subject point of view, 217 career soldiers and the 191 local residents surveyed during 3 weeks from 10th February to 28th February, 2014. The results getting from this research were as to follows; First of all, the perception on the military organization-public relationship towards local community is more positive in the military officials(M=5.39) than the locals(M=4.99), but different from the two groups(t=6.93, p<.001). Moreover, there exists statistically significant different in every sub-factors and it means the mutual perception consistency is low. Second, the perception on the support from the locals towards military family welfare of military(M=5.38) is higher(t=6.93, p<.001) than the perception of the locals (M=4.76) and it is statistically significant. Third, the a regression coefficient which indicates the impact on the perception on support military family welfare through the change of organization-public relationship shows statistically significant (${\beta}=.82$(p<.001)). As a result, the perception on the military organization-public relationship of the locals has significant prediction power to the perception on the support military family welfare.

This study conducted a multiple mediation analysis using sub-factors of basic psychological needs (BPNs) as mediators in the relationship between problem gambling and stress of gambling addicts to confirm that BPNs and stress, which affect gambling addiction, may be the result of problem gambling and to find effective intervention strategies. A total of 206 adults gambling addicts were screened by using CPGI. Descriptive statistics, correlation, hierarchical regression, and mediation analysis were conducted. Hierarchical regression analysis results yielded that problem gambling and sub-factors of BPNs were significant predictors of stress when controlling for gender and debt. The sub-factors of BPNs mediated the relationship between problem gambling and stress. These results indicated that BPNs and stress are not only the causes of gambling addiction but also the results from the harmful consequences of gambling addiction. The study supported the possibility of the psychological process of "Deficits of BPNs (of gambling users) → stress (of gambling users) → problem gambling → gambling addiction (of gambling addicts) → problem gambling → Deficits of BPNs (of gambling addicts) → stress (of gambling addicts)" among the variables and provided clinical implications for problem gambling counseling. Lastly, the limitations of this study and suggestions for further study were discussed.

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.
