In the modern society, the number of people in disaster vulnerable groups is rapidly increasing such as the elderly, the disabled, foreigners, and children. The common characteristics of the groups vulnerable to disasters are that they live in residence types that are exposed to disasters because they are impoverished and if they are exposed to disasters, recovery is a slow process. The purpose of this study is to identify the new risk issues by performing risk issue analysis on the targets of disaster vulnerable group and provide base data for the development of the policies. For the research method, this study centered on the cases of children and pregnant women out of the disaster vulnerable groups and focused on the issue data of social media throughout the past 10 years ('10~'19) and performed social network analysis. As a result, first, the development of the issue showed relevance in the occurrence of specific cases. Second, the awareness about the types, targets, and management method of crisis management was analyzed. Third, an analysis was performed on the sentiment words that considered the solution measures of risk issues or the characteristics of the targets and it was analyzed that there were word that triggered negative emotions. Therefore, it is anticipated for the base data to be used for the government and also for the local government to build an effective crisis management system of the rapidly changing disaster environment on the basis of the sentiment analysis performed on the people of the nation as well as public awareness.

This study analyzed data from 1997 Korea's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey collected through telephone questionings based on the multi-stage stratified random sampling. We categorized respondents into those who had ever drunk an alcoholic beverage in the last month and those who didn't and, referring to the World Health Organization's guideline, the former group were further categorized into low risk drinking group and high risk drinking group. Employing bivariate probit regression analyses with censoring on independent variables such as preferred type of alcoholic beverage, the number of types of beverages consumed, age, marital status, education, occupation, residential area, current smoking, body mass index and stress suggested (1) that those who prefer soju are more likely to involve high risk drinking than those who and prefer the other alcoholic beverages (2) that those who are relatively older, who live without a partner, who have jobs, who. are vulnerable to stress, or who enjoy more than one type of beverage are more likely to be exposed to high risk drinking than the others.

How to eliminate health disparity to ensure health equity is one of major issues that are handled across the world. The purpose of this study was to examine any possible differences in self-rated oral health state according to socioeconomic status and the relationship between the two based on the data of the 5th National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey of 2010~2012. As for differences in self-rated oral health state according to sociodemographic characteristics, the women considered themselves to be in poorer oral health than the men. The older respondents found themselves to be in poorer oral health, and there was a tendency that the respondents who were less educated and whose household income was smaller rated their own health as worse. When a logistic regression analysis was made to determine influential factors for self-rated oral health status, the women perceived they were in better oral health than the men did, and the better-educated respondents were more likely to consider themselves healthier. Concerning disparities in self-rated health state according to income level, there were broader differences in that regard according to an increase of income. The findings of the study illustrated that there was oral health inequity according to social stratum. It's required to make a nationwide effort to promote national oral health, and appropriate support should especially be provided for disadvantaged people at the same time in order to get rid of the gap in oral health among different social classes, as there is a yawning gap between them and the other classes.

공공분야에서의 지식생산이라는 국가 R&D사업의 본연의 임무에 사회문제해결이라는 보다 구체적인 요구가 커지고 있다. 취약계층, 노인, 장애인과 같은 사회적 약자들의 삶의 질 개선에 더불어 조류 인플루엔자, 미세먼지오염 등 국민생활에 영향을 주는 사회문제의 해결에 과학기술지식이 기여하라는 사회적 요청이 커지고 있다. 그동안 산업 지원과 학문 발전을 중심으로 발전해오던 국가R&D시스템이 이제는 공공분야에서의 지식생산시스템 격상이라는 과제를 안게 되었다. 정부는 2012년 '신과학기술 프로그램 추진전략(안)'을 통해서 이러한 요구를 수용하기 시작했으며 2014년에 다(多)부처 기획을 통해 11개 사업 분야를 선정하고 사회문제해결을 위한 R&D를 다(多)부처 사업으로서 2015년부터 시작하였다. 또한 과학기술정보통신부(구 미래부)는 단일 부처사업으로서 '사회문제해결형 사업' 을 2104년부터 추진하였다. 논문이나 특허보다는 현장문제의 해결책, 솔루션 생산을 목표로 제시하였으며 현장의 사용자나 시민이 연구개발의 전 과정에 참여하는 리빙랩이라는 새로운 방법론의 적용을 사회문제해결형 R&D사업의 성격으로 제안하였다. 본 연구는 사회문제해결형 R&D라는 이 새로운 시도가 국가R&D 시스템 안에서 어떻게 시행되었는지 NTIS data를 통해서 분석해보고자 한다. 먼저 다부처 기획으로 선정되어 추진된 과제들의 특성, 즉 연구적용분야, 연구 단계 등을 분석하고 단일부처 사업으로 수행된 '사회문제해결형 사업' 및 유사 단일부처 사업 과제들의 특성을 알아본다. 연구수행주체, 연구방법론 등 사회문제해결형 R&D 기획에서 제시한 새로운 방법들의 수행 여부를 알아보고 이를 통해 공공분야 국가R&D 시스템의 발전 및 사회문제해결형 R&D 사업의 향후 발전 방안을 제안한다.

In modern society, developing and utilizing safety service and system environments is a very important and great interest. In particular, the provision of safety services to socially vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, women, the disabled and foreigners has become a social issue. However, since most safety services and systems are applied to the general public, it is necessary to develop systems for socially vulnerable groups. Therefore, in this paper, we developed a system module that processes and transmits data to recognize the situation in real time and respond quickly. To this end, various sensors for real-time situation recognition were designed as integrated modules, and a safety system module was developed to analyze the collected data and transmit the processing results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of social networks to health status among the urban low income elderly. Method: Using a sample of 598 elderly aged 65 years and higher, social networks, health status were measured by the Social Networks Scale (LSNS), Perceived Health Status, GDSSF-K, K-ADL respectively. The t-test, ANOVA and Tukey-test and Pearson's correlation analyses were performed using SPSS 18.0. Results: 41% of subjects didn't contact with relatives at least once a month. 56% of subjects saw or heard less than monthly from relative with whom they have the most contact. 47% didn't have relatives who one can rely on private matters. Social networks among the low income elderly significantly differed by marital status, health insurance type, economic status, regular exercise, living with family. Social networks were significantly correlated with perceived health status (r=.201), cognitive function (r=-.154) and depressive symptoms (r=-.301). Conclusion: Poor social networks were found in urban low income elderly. Poorer social networks were related to worse health status and more depressive symptoms. Interventions targeting at increasing social networks are urgently needed for low income elderly.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the housing tenure choice decisions of older households, with focus on the activity constraints of the householders. For analysis, the probit model based on the data of the householders over 55 years of age from the 2015 KLIPS data was implemented. The research findings indicate that the ownership choice probability decreases when the head of the household has activity or social activity constraints. If there is an activity restriction, it is considered that the possibility of self-residence will be low due to the increase in medical expenses, the possibility of participation in economic activities will be low, the possibility of early retirement will be high, and the income will decrease. Therefore, if the head of the household has a personal or social activity constraint, such case is more likely to be categorized as falling under the poor residential group. This result suggests that the activity constraint can be utilized as a useful index for the housing welfare policy considering physical vulnerability.

Since empathy is an essential element for building trustful relationship between clients and social workers and successful interventions, empathy is an important quality to social workers and social work students. However, it has been very rare that empathy is the topic of studies in the field of social work. It is believed that the scarcity of studies on empathy may be related to the lack of instruments measuring empathy. The purpose of this study is to develop an empathy scale in order to facilitate studies on empathy in social work. Based upon the literature review of empathy, the examination of existing empathy scale, and the comments from professionals in this field, preliminary items were developed. The items were evaluated with 615 social work practitioners and social work students. A series of exploratory factor analysis were conducted and found out that the scale is composed of two factors with 38 items. One factor has 19 items measuring interpersonal empathy and the other factor has the same number of items measuring social empathy. The scale is named Interpersonal and Social Empathy Scale. Unlike existing scales used to measure empathy in Korea, the scale includes social empathy. Social empathy is the ability to understand people by perceiving or experiencing their life situations and as a result gain insight into structural inequalities and disparities. The subscale measuring social empathy would be widely utilized by social work researchers who are primarily interested in the enhancement of the rights and well-being of vulnerable populations.

In our society, recently, the concept of social economy stands out as an alternative to the mainstream economy in the market. It is noteworthy that although the social economy has the nature of practical field of civil society, the government has a willingness to actively support the social economy as a means of getting visible result of job creation. The social economy in Korea is being fostered by the government and understood within the framework of a very limited policy goal of providing jobs for the vulnerable. The problem is that the social value and community implications of the social economy are disappearing while the social economic organizations have higher policy status and become more and more dependent on the government's financial support. This paper suggests that the discourse on the social economy should be reconstructed while holding the problem of this situation.
